We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a greater saving to the public in the article of dress, than has ever yet been realised. The Establishment of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is the first in the world which has originated the judicious plan to whichilublicity is now given—a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with sMiration, because, while It realises the most sanguine hopes of the economist, will be a source of pride to its Inventors, based as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted as it will be upon the most honourable principles. . . . . ADVANCES OF MONET FOB LIMITED PERIODS on the deposit of Title Deeds, without the expense of Mortgage Securities. LOANS TO NOBLEMEN AND GENTLEMEN of established position, in conjunction with Life Assurances, upon. their personal responsibility alone. The ASSURED MAY PASS FROM ONIS COUNTRY TO AN OTHER without forfeiting their Policies, and MEDICAL EXAMI NATIONS are dispensed with. _ . . We will now state in what thenovelty consists; although simple in its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, and is neither more nor less than this,—Every customer will be enabled to ascertain the value and quantity of material required for every variety of garment—each and every Cloth, Cassmero, Doeskin, &c. being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being the Fame as would be charged upon the purchase of the material by wholesale. We shall explain to our patrons the exact quantity that will be necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and we shall charge separately for the making and trimmings. This system, as a trial of its operation will abundantly demonstrate, will effect a saving of fully one-third of the expense of the articles re quired in Gentleman's dress. The peculiar advantages of the system of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, may be practicably exemplified as follows: — The average quantity of Cloth for a Coat is 1 2 4 yards, suppose that selected be Ss. per yard, the material would cost 14c., our charge for making and trimmings would he 18s., thus a really good serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be made to measure for 325. Again, suppose the Cloth selected to be 12s. per yard, the material would cost 215., our charge would be 20s. for making and trimmings, and thus a first-rate Coat made to measure and com pleted in the best style will be obtained for 4 Is., few, if any, charge less than 50s or 525. for the same article. The same saving will be effected in every description of Clothing. - Vacancies for a few Agents. ••• Prospectuses and Tables, calculated with Le greatest pre cision, may be had at the Office. __ _ JOHN InDowsoN, Secretary.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The subscription-room was thronged to excess until a late hour, but business, apart from the check it received from the Old England affair, of which we give a separate notice underneath, progressed languidly, and at such contradictory prices, that it was with no small difficulty we ascertained the actual state of the betting. We have reason, however, to be lieve that the subjoined quotations correctly represent the posi tion of the various favourites at the close, and from these it will be gathered that, of the first four, The Libel alone underwent any material change; his partisans were numerous, and the layers getting shy as the desire to "get on " became more evident ; he ultimately took a decided call of Alarm, and finishing almost, if not absolutely, as good a favourite as Weatherbit. The last mentioned and the crack were backed in various quarters, but left off with layers of the quoted odds. Pantasa and Pam, and Doleful, were severally backed at prices averaging those returned, nor was Old Eng land by any means so much out of favour as the bet of 2,500 to 100, laid to Mr. Gully, would seem to indicate-21 to 1 was taken two or three times, and would have been taken again at the break up. Fuabos was very much fancied, and from the outsiders we may select Annandale as having been most gene rally in favour; his stable companion, Mentor, on the strength of a report that he was coughing, receded several points. A few bets were laid on the Oaks and Craven Stakes, but without eliciting any feature worthy of especial notice. The latest prices were as follow : CRAVLN STAKES-(TRIS DAY). 6 to 4 on 2 agst the field 5 to 2 agst Mr. Dawson's Crim Con 5 to 2 agst Lord Chesterfield's Knight of the Whistle 5 to 1 agst Lord Stradboke's Evenus DERBY. 4 to 1 agst J.

On Saturday last some strong remarks were made at Tatter sall's by Mr. Gully, the owner cf Old England, a horse about to run for the Derby, respecting the conduct of one gentleman who had been betting largely against him, at odds beyond the market price, which ended in Mr. Gully giving notice to the party in question, that he should call upon him to stake to the amount of the bets which had been laid, and which had been laid on Mr. Gully's account. To this the party challenged said he had no objection, however uncourteous he might think the demand. The amount referred to was said to exceed 20,0002., and the inference drawn from the remarks made was, that some unfair play had been resorted to, with respect to the horse, or this pertinacity in betting against him would not have been so remarkable. Yesterday the matter was brought forward in a more serious shape, and at a time when the room was exceedingly crowded. Sir. Gully, elevating him self on a chair. called the attention of the persons present while he performed, as he said, a very disagreeable duty to himself and the üblic, who had, as well as himself, invested large sum s on Old England. It had struck him as extraordinary that when the current price of Old England was 20 to 1 in that room, a Mr. Hargreaves was betting largely against the horse at 30 and 25 to I, and had on Friday or Saturday laid 12,0001. to 400/. against him. This had naturally created suspicion in his mind, following, as it did, the operations by the same party and his friends to an enormous extent. He was told that the cause assigned for the sup posed prejudice was that the horse would not start—that he had bad legs—had been fired—and, in fact, that be had not the slightest chance of winning. As he knew these assertions were without foundation, he naturally looked for some other cause, and the more especially when he had heard it whispered that. those bets had been made for young John Day, than who, he believed, a more honourable or upright young man did not breathe, a character which was equally due to his father. Seeing that his horse was thus betted against as if he were dead, he determined at once to go to Danebury on Saturday night, if possible, to ascertain the cause. On' arriving there ho saw both John Days, senior and junior, who professed their utter ignorance of the cause of such a state of things ' • but, from private information which he (Mr. G.) had rece i ve d, he had no doubt of the delinquent, and at once not only com municated his suspicions to father and son, but produced such evidence as left no doubt on the subject. The person to whom he alluded was William Day, a younger son of Mr. John Day, who, with great reluctance, at last confessed that he had been tampered with ; that he had been told by Mr. Bloodsworth and Mr. Stebbings that, after the present Derby, his father was to retire, and his brother John was to take his place, w hile he, William, would be turned off. To this it was added, that large sums had been laid against Old England for his father, brother, and Mr. Gully, but he was to derive no advan tage. He was thus ultimately seduced to lay against the horse at Bath, to Mr. Wm. Stebbing's 35,000/. to 1,000/. Here Mr. Gully said he had intended to start Old England at Bath, and had no doubt he had been dosed to prevent t hina from doing so. He was, in fact, as had been stated at the time, seised with the cholic. As a further argument to the young man, it was stated that odds had been laid agst his father's lot, to 300/. or 4001., which had no doubt gone to Danebury. He was led to believe that a Mr. Bloodsworth, a friend of the family. was the original seducer, and he would ask, whether, under such circumstances, he was not called upon to bring the matter before them ?—( Hear, hear.) Having made some strong remarks on such conduct, in which a son had been trepan n ed into a plan for the ruin of his own father, he called upon the parties accused to come for ward and explain themselves. Mr. Hargreave at once responded to the call, and taking Mr. Gully's place, he averred unequivocally that he had laid against the horse to a large amount, from a conviction that on his merits he could not win. He bad been called on to stake, and however uncourteous that call might have been, he had that day deposited twenty thousand pounds in the hands of a subscriber to that room, ready to cover any bets he had made ; while he had proclaimed his readiness to hedge with any person with whom he bad betted, and to stake the difference. What he had done then, he should do again. He had always acted openly and fairly, and there had been no disguise en his part. He denied most emphatically that he had bad any communication with Day, or any of his family. He had acted en his own impression, that Old England could not win. Mr. Gully—Did you not state that you bad laid the odds against John Day's lot, to 300/. er 4001., which had gone to Danebury ? Mr. Hargreaves admitted that he had communicated to an other betting man, that he had laid the odds against John Day's lot to 4001. for a gentleman whom he then believed lived at Danebury, and this he did not feel called upon to make a secret. He repeated, however, that he had no communica tion with Mr. Bloodsworth or Mr. Stebbings, or with any member of Mr. Day's family, and felt not a little indignant at being attacked in the manner he had been by Mr. Gully; he had always acted fairly and " above board," and denied that any ground existed for connecting him with Mr. Bloodsworth and Mr. Stebbing. He ,betted against the horse from a con viction of his unworthiness, and would not take a thousand sovereigns to two on the horse and stand it. Mr. Stebbing then rose, and complained of the manner in which he had been thus dragged forward. It had been said that William Day had laid hiM 35,000/. to 1,0001. against Old England. This was totally false—he bad not spoken to William Day for twelve months. The truth was that Sir. Bloodsworth, who he knew was on particularly intimate terms with John Day's family, had come to him, and told him that Old England was a bad horse, and upon his authority he had laid against him. He believed that Mr. Day, sen., was under obligations to Mr. Bloodsworth, and that therefore he was not likely to be deceived; and whether he laid against the horse for a large or a small sum, he did not see why he should be attacked. Mr. Gully said, he believed it was true he had taken 35,000/. to 1,0001. of William Day, and it was not difficult to draw an inference from such a fact.

THE Coart-LAws.—The most specific suggestion In Lord John Russell's multifarious address last night was on the corn-laws. The only addition he has made to the public stock of in formation on this subject is that he has descended from his Bs. fixed duty of 1841 to 45., or perhaps 55., or perhaps 6s. It is difficult to comprehend why his original proposition should be so slightly cor rected for so doubtful a result. As his Lordship is now rather winning adherents than choosing a course, he may prefer to content himself with the least possible show of change. Let him, however, save himself the trouble of an exact decision of a point which evi dently costa so much labour. Peel will underbid him. " The day will come, th' inevitable day," when Peel will make a clean holo caust of the corn-laws, offering up what the Irish Catholics call " an unqualified and uncontaminated gift" to the free-traders. He will not do things by halves. Cannot Lord John Russell see this in time? Henceforth it is his fate to be behindhand in the market. While he is haggling for his odd shillings, and thinking to allure the purchaser by the doubtful tone of his denials, a more desperate and determined salesman interposes, and throws him out of the market. —Times. PATENT CARPET.—A patent has been obtained by Mr. Sierier, the sculptor, for manufacturing the above article by power, a process heretofore unattainable. It will entirely superseded handweaving, and although we may deplore the loss of labour, yet we must feel at the same time every im provement is of importance to the country in a national point of view. The old method required two persons to weave a Brussels carpet, and that an average of 30 yards per week was obtained from a loom ; by the patent process one attendant will make 200 yards per week without having to 1 , exert any labour more than to fill the shuttle with weft. THE GRAND POLISH FANCY, OR FULL-DRESS BALL. —The recurrence of a Polish fete is always productive of considerable sensation amongst the votaries of fashion. The splendour with which they are got up, and the select company which attend them, have placed them in the rank of the first reunions of the season. But the attractions of this year will give an additional eclat to this entertain ment, from the circumstance that the Lady I'atronesses will honour it with the dresses in which they are to appear at the Palace, and the formation of various quadrilles, mi nuets, and mazurkas. These-last are to be danced in the Polish na ti onal costume, and M. Jullien is engaged in composing some new music for this brilliant occasion. Mr. Stebbing repeated that all he knew was through Mr. Bloodsworth, and he could only add, he was ready to cover any bets he had laid ; but he thought the proper mode to pro ceed in this case would have been to bring him before the Stewards if he had done wrong. Mr. Gully—Who sent the express to Danebury ? Mr. Stebbing—l did not—nor do I know anything about it. Here the matter dropped. Mr. Hargreaves then said he was ready to lay 2,500 to 100 agst Old England and give a good man. Mr. take it, and the bet was immediately booked to Mr. Haggarty of Manchester. We understand the subject is hereafter to be brought before the Stewards in a formal shape, but at present the charge is confined to the statement of William Day who has been dis charged from his father's stables—it is just that all conclusive opinions should be reserved till Mr. Bloodsworth has the opportunity of being heard.

EirliVEYOßS—Messrs. Emmett and Co., 9, John-street, Adelphi. SECRETARY—John F. Neale, Esq. , . The object whisk has for a long time occupied the attention of every railway proprietary whose line terminates near the metropolis, viz., the attainment of some point for their terminus situated more centrally, and with readier access to London travellers than their pre sent sites, appears now to be in course of completion. Two principal lines of railway, the south Western and South Eastern, have proposed and intend to carry into effect extensions of their lines from the existing termini to the neighbourhood of the Waterloo and Hungorford Bridges, and to this point the traffic from Birmingham and the North of England will also be enabled to pro ceed, through the contemplated extension of the West London Rail way, across the Thames to a junction with the South Western Line. Tke perfect attainment of the object in view will, however, remain unaccomplished, so long as the terminating point is kept on the Beath side of the river; since, although a considerable improvement as compared with the present positions will thereby be effected, still the station in the Waterloo-bridge -road is remote and inconvenient to the larger proportion of travellers, and the evils now se justly complained of will be far from completely obviated. It is with the view of supplying this deficiency that the promoters of the London Central Railway Terminus lay their project before the public. They propose to provide means whereby the passenger car riages from every line in connexion with the metropolis, can be con veyed across the Thames to a general station erected in the imme diate vicinity of Charing-cross. For this purpose plans have been prepared, which leave received the approval of the most eminent engineers, for carrying a double line of rails over the river, adjoining the new Hungerford Suspension bridge, and supported by a simple and inexpensive addition to the present erections of that structure. For the vast amount of traffic which will thus be brought to the Middlesex side of the river, it is intended to provide a central station of corresponding magnitude. The Company, therefore, purpose to undertake the execution of part of the embankment, according to the plan eft he Government for embanking the Thames, for the distance lying between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridges, and over part of the area thus obtained from the river, to erect a station of size sufficient to supply the purposes ef every separate railway, and furnished with every requisite provision for the wants of the respective Companies and the convenience of their passengers. The property of the Com pany will extend through the whole frontage of the Adelphi-terrace, the present buildings of which, as well as those to be hereafter erected, will be admirably adapted for a series of splendid hotels. This project would have been before the public at an earlier period, but the projectors were desirous of obtaining the full concurrence ef her Majesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements; an{ they are now enabled to state, that the plans have been laid before the Commissioners, and as far as relates to the embankment and terminus, have met with their decided approval. On the south side of the river the proposed railway will join the several extension lines at their nearest point of approach to the Thames and to each other, and thus will constitute a leader into the heart of London for the Birmingham, South Western, Brighton, and South Eastern lines, at present existing, as well as far the various proposed lines through Kent, and to Richmond and Staines, which will shortly be in course of construction. The Directors of several of the above-mentioned Companies have already expressed their ap probation of the undertaking; but the advantages it offers are so great and obvious that there can be no doubt of the cordial co-opera tion of the managers and proprietors of the ether lines, without ex ception. . _ . . The plan presents no features of difficulty, or involving the neces sity of any extraordinary expense. The ground to be occupied by the station will, from its peculiar character, be obtainable at a com paratively small cast; and from estimates carefully prepared it is proved that a capital of 500,0001. will be sufficient for the accomplish ment of every purpose in contemplation. This capital it is proposed to raise in 25,000 shares of 201. each. In order to favour the multitudinous travellers for short distances o'zt of London, the toll charged Io passengers for any station short of twenty miles will be less than that required from those bound on more extended Journeys, and who are more likely to be encumbered with luggage. An average of 2d. has been assumed alien the whole number estimated. From the traffie returns of the railways now completed, together with the increase to be derived from the lines at present before Par liament, it is eetimated that the annual number of arrivals and de partures of passengers from their London termini, who will select the Central Station for their landing point, will amount to 5,500,000 ; the gross receipts from whom, at a toll of 2d. each, will be 45,0001. per annum. From this amount a deduction of 20 per cent. for working expen.es, &c. (including the rental to the Proprietors of Ileingerford bridge), will be amply sufficient, as the Company will have no need of locomotives, and therefore be freed from those items which occa sion the heaviest expenditure en other railways. This will leave a net profit of 36,0001. per annum for the tolls alone. To this must be added the profits that will be derived from the various wharfs and buildings, and from the proposed pier for steam-boats, amounting on the most moderate calculation to an animal rental of at least 15,0001. With this addition, the total returns will amount to somewhat mere than le per cent. on the capital required. The completion of every new railway, and the opening of every extension line or feeder to the existing railways, will produce a constant increase in the revenue of the proposed line, and promise to raise it most rapidly to an impor tant rank as an investment for capital. The Provisional Committee have also taken into consideration a plan for extending the proposed Embankment and Railway from the great Central Station to some point nearer the City, and are deeply impressed with the great public advantages derivable from such an undertaking. This plan has been referred to the Engineer and Surveyors of the Company, whose report thereon may be expected in a short time, when the estimates of the additional expense, and ether particulars, will be duly announced.

The Lucifer matches hitherto sold are very liable to take fire from a very small amount of friction, and also from the application of a comparatively small degree of heat, while the Paragon matches will not ignite under a temperature of between 300 deg. and 400 deg. of Fehr.

PAELIAMEFTART AGENT. C. T. Waddy, Esq., 103, Jermyn-street, St. James's, London. H. Thunder, Esq.. Secretary, pre tem. This railway is projected' for' the purpose 'of connecting the im portant commercial town of Newry with its shipping port and har bour, Warrenpoint, well known as being one of the most beau tiful and romantic watering-places, as well as one of the safest and best harbours in the north of Ireland. The entire length of rail way, cominenciug at or near the proposed terminus of the Newry and Enneskillen Railway, to which this line will be an important adjunct, and the station of the Dublin and Belfast Junction. Rail way, in the town of Newry, and terminating at the Quay of War renpoint, will not exceed sixty statute miles. To those acquainted with this highly-favoured locality, and who aware of the great traffic already existing between Newry and Warrenpoint, it must be apparent that the proposed railway will prove one of the most remunerative lines hitherto projected. A preliminary survey has already been made, from which it appears that there are a* engineering difficulties, the whole line being almost a perfect level along the margin of the Newry river ; and as the line will not interfere with any ornamental grounds, and the cost of the land required be comparatively small, the expense of con struction will be much below the average. The materials for construction are cheap, abundant, and convenient, and every facility and support for carrying out the proposed railway is confidently expected from the landed proprietors along the line. The Bay of Carlingford, in which Warrenpoint is situated, affords an ac commodation for maritime traffic unsurpassed by any other harbour in Ireland, and as two powerful and well-appointed steamers are constantly employed between this place and Liverpool, convey ing annually about fifty-five thousand passengers, besides stock and merchandise, all of which will pass along this line, some idea may be formed of the prosperous results which must attend the undertaking. And as railway intercourse will ere long be opened up from the town of Newry to the port of Sligo, the proposed Newry and Warrenpoint Railway will complete the chain of direct communication from London by Liverpool to the west coast, and add another powerftil argument to those already existing for making Warrenpoint the mail-packet sta tion for the north and west of Ireland, by which this undertaking will become one of national interest. By the report of the Railway Commissioners of 1838 the passenger traffic on the road through which the intended line will pass will be found to exceed that of any other line in Ireland, save only the Dublin and Kingstown, as will appear on reference to the traffic map compiled by them, and the tables attached thereto. Some idea of this traffic may be formed from the number of public conveyances plying between Newry and Warrenpoint, from returns taken with great accuracy during the last month, by which it ap pears that sixty public cars, carrying usually four persons each, rim daily between those towns. This calculation is, however, far below the average, as, during the summer months the traffic to Warren point and Rosstrevor is greatly increased.

But according to the mode of calculation adopted by the Commissioners in their Report, Part 111., page 100, the number of private conveyances is found to be considerably greater than that of those used by the public, so that, even taking the numbers as equal, the present yearly passenger traffic amounts to 700,800. This traffic, In case the proposed line were carried out, would, according to Parliamentary calculation, amount to 2,102,400, which, with one or two exceptions, cannot be surpassed either in England or Ireland. A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties having a local interest.

This same horse has latterly been in request at very long odds, I perceive. On Tuesday the meeting opens with the Crai - en Stakes, which Lord Chesterfield will carry off with the Knight of the Whistle, Crim. Con. second. The Woodcote Stakes, for two year olds, will have Lord Harry for winner, the Heco second. The Manor Stakes, John Davis or Montgomerie. On Wednesday the performances commence with that ex citing drama the Derby, about which' I will be as brief a possible; to begin with Idas, who is certainly one of the finest animals that could be seen, and who has won all the races he has started for, easily, beating a tolerable pack of second rates. I expect to see him forward in the race. Old England, should he run, which I think he will, is a very dangerous customer, and will be found to be the best in Day's stable. There is a rumour afloat which is not alto gether groundless ; that some underhand movement was to be attempted against Mr, Gully's horses, and that he had determined upon scratching them. Pantasa is in capital trim at the present time, and warrants his price in the bet ting ; he will run well. Kedge: will rtgt very forward. The Laird o'Cockpen will astonish a few; lit his present price he is well worth backing; he will not be far from the mark. The Libel won the. St. Leger at Chester cleverly, and as h• is in capital condition, he will, no doubt, be one of the first at the finish. Pam has improved materially lately, and will run a game horse, finishing in the front. Alarm, Wood Pigeon, Winchester, Young Eclipse, Jingle pot, Clear-the-Way, Cabin Boy, Miss Whip colt, and Gwalior, will form the guard of honour to the "cracks." In conclusion, remember the weather and the outsiders, and keep a sharp look-out upon o ne o f F or th' s l o t. If a fi ne day, the five first at the finish will be Pam, Ides, The Libel, Old England, and Pantasa ; the latter three will furnish the first and second, say Pantasa first by a neck. The Epsom Stakes to Wild Roe. The Walton Stakes to Physalis or Moonshine. The Burgh Stakes to Prince of Wales. On Thursday the Epsom four year old Stakes to Qui Tam. The 10 sous. Sweepstakes to Jessie Hammond. The Surrey Cup will bring ten or eleven to the post, Vol an-Vent and Semiseria the first two. The 5 soy:. Sweepstakes to Devil-among-the-Tailors.

DRURY-LANE. Madame Anna Thillon made her re-appearance at this theatre last evening, for the first time since her late severe in disposition, and never did the Enchantress appear in better voice or spirits, never did she warble more delightfully, never did she act more fascinatingly. On her appearance she was greeted with shouts of welcome, which she acknowledged in the most graceful manner; and throughout the whole of the opera she was rapturously applauded, and was called for at the conclusion as a matter of course. The house was crowded to suffocation. Boxes, pit, and galleries, all were crammed, and even standing-room in the slips was at a premium before the rising of the curtain. `~` ~i"- ADELPHL A new farce, entitled The Irish Dragoon, or Wares ix Chancery, from the practised and prolific pen of Selby, was produced here last evening, with the most decided success. l'he Irish Dragoon is Mr. Hudson, who, having been a dra goon in the Spanish Legion, has retired with more honour than profit, and is, therefore, content to officiate as light porter in the establishment of Mr. Brown Sherry (Selby), a wine merchant. The wards in Charm ?ry are Miss Emma Harding . and Bliss Ellen Chaplin, and two most lovely wards they ate. But to our story. Mr. Brown Sherry having packed off Mrs. Sherry (Mrs. F. Mathews) to Gravesend, determines to enjoy himself en garcon, and goes out to make a night of it, leaving his clerk, Fizgig (Mr. Munyard), and his porter, in charge of the establishment. They, too, determine to enjoy themselves, and accordingly Fizgig, having ordered in a dinner from the pastrycook's, invites to the dinner his lady-love, Mrs. Bloomly, a widow (excellently acted by Miss Emma Harding), and her friend, bliss Matilda Jenks, a would-be prudish young lady (whose primness, arising solely from the fact that she has not " a young man ' like her friend, was given with great humour by Miss E. Chaplin.) The dragoon forces himself upon the party, and is very soon installed in office, as Miss Jenks's young man. Just as they are about to sit down, the bell rings. Sherry has returned, and the young ladies are locked up in a book case. Sherry has received a note from a fair incognito, to whom he has been making desperate love by letter, appointing an interview at his offic2, and dismisses the clerk and porter for the day, who, how ever, secrete themselves under the desks, in order to seise an opportunity, if possible, of releasing the fair prisoners. The lady enters, veiled, and just as the con versation becomes interesting, a ring is heard. He secrets her in a cupboard and lets in Mr. Mellowpear (Wil kinson) au attorney, who comes with an order from the Court of Chancery to seal up and take possession of all Sherry's books in a suit instituted against him by the executors of his late partner. Mrs. Bloomly and Matilda are fairly locked in and sealed up, and he is about to seal up the third door when Sherry tells him that his wife is in that cupboard, and calls her out. To his horror it is his wife, who answers to the gall, and who su'pecting him of infidelity had carried on a corres pondence with him as " Arabella. This is a capital scene, and was excellently acted by Selby and Mrs. F. Mathews. She sees the two bonnets and accuses him of having harboured the owners in the office. He stands aghast. In her search for the heads which fit the bonnets she drags Fiagig and the dragoon from their hiding places, and they winless that the bonnets belong to some ladies whom they had brought in— their aunts. Mellowpear is sent for, and releases , the two wards in Chancery, who, in order to calm the suspicions of the jealous Mrs. Sherry. consent to make Fizgig and the dragoon happy. This is a lively, bustling farce, and was excellently acted by all concerned. It went trippingly off, and we have no doubt but that the Irish Dragoon will be found upon parade every night many weeks to come. In the, oourse of the piece Hudson sing; a new burlesque serenade, Wake, lady, wake,' with great taste and humour. He was raptu rously encored. The house was crowded. 11 OYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, REGENT'S PARK.- At a meeting of fellows, held at the garden on Saturday, the Bishop of Durham, Vice-President, in the chair, a ballot took place, and the following ladies and gentlemen were added to the society .

The Queen left Gibraltar May the 17th ; Cadiz, 18th ; Lisbon, 20th ; Oporto, 21st ; and Vigo, 22d. She was de tained on her outward passage, or would have arrived yesterday. She brings as freight, five cases of bullion, a large quantity of fruit (principally oranges), saffron, leeches, kc. ; besides 25 bales of potatoes. The news from Lisbon is without interest. The Bishop of Levria had been appointed successor to the late Patriarch. Mr. Sheridan Knowles had arrived at Lisbon tiara Madeira, and was about to give some public readings atone of the hotels. Lord and Lady Cowley celebrated her Majesty's birthday by y grand dress-ball and supper at the hotel of the British Embassa on Friday. The number of invitations amounted to 1,700, and the company included the entire rank and fashion of both France and England, together with nearly every foreigner of distinction at present in Paris. With the exception of M. Guizot and M. Salvandy, absent from illness, all the Members of the Cabinet were among the the guests, as were the Presidents of the two Legisla. tive Chambers, and the chief dignitaries of the State. The Foreign Ambassadors, with the entire diplomatic body, were present. M. Guizot comes every day, says the Courrier Francais, from Passy, to his office, between one and two o'clodk, but remains only a short time. The Count die Salvandy is still confined by the gout. A letter from Lucerne, of the 19th instant, announces that the Grand Council has granted Dr. Steigel a reprieve, and that hopes are entertained of his sentence of death being commuted into exile. The same writer states that eigkt of the political prisoners confined in the tower of the Hohenrain have effected their escape, by breaking the bars of the window, and letting themselves down by means of a rope. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, M. Dufaurepresented the report on the Bill relating to the railroad from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon. The rest of the sitting, up to post hour, was taken up with the Juges de Paix Bill. In the Peers the discussion on the new Customs Bill was re turned. The part under consideration was that which speaks of Chinese and Indian silks. Baron Dumont addressed the Chamber at some length, and proposed to prohibit altogether their intro duction into France. This was opposed by the Minister of Commerce. ed el d n th f o a bor n n y The Constitutionne , of the th t o f budgetlast y o e f ar expend iture . ,t r w oh y oe a e s s o l no l t u e re t riotnhut re reductions P favourablereport t supplies t MM proposed the Committee was A on moo o nb f: fica T ti h o e ns Co h u u rr b ic ee r s F v ra ot n ed ca . is th sa e ys w , o ' r ' k S s in ar ce e tchaerra=nwt of ford. th ac e ti cor it t y k : The continuous wall is nearly completed at M e rcy.

A resolution was also passed approving of the amendment to be proposed by Mr. Sharman Crawford—" That the present state of po litical tranquillity, and the recent revival of trade, afford a favourable opportunity to gve immediate attention to the claims so repeatedly urged in the petitions of the people for an extension of the Parliamen tary Suffrage, as well as to consider of such measures as may tend permanently to Improve the condition of the labouring classes," and a petition was adopted praying the House of Commons to pass such amendment. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. Simmonds, Elt, Vincent, Hick, &c. After al vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting, which was very respectable, broke up. CHEAP POSTAGE IN INDIA.—It is a positive fact, that the natives of the north-west carry the spirit of economy to such a degree of intensity, that ten letters are often Bent under one cover, which do not weigh more than the tenth of an ounce. This cover, which often contains all the letters dispatched from a town during the day, is, according to the last privilege, conveyed a hun. dred miles for half an anna, of less than the tenth of a penny each. What is the penny postage to this P—Allen's Indian Mall, May 24.

There is nothing to be done at the present day, in a com mercial point of view, without ways and means ; and it is quite as possible for a man to attempt to float across the Atlantic Ocean in a washing-tub, as it is for a man to get on in business without the ways and means withal. Now, ll yni possesses all the qualifications ne cessary for carrying out to the fullest extent possible the capabilities of his Herculean Establishments ; for instance, ho has a profusion of capital, with which he p u rchases, for cash only, his wooll ens an d other various materials from the most respectable houses in the king dom.
