The Property may be privately viewed on the 19th and 20th of April; and the public view will commence on Monday. the 22d, and terminate on the 27th, by Catalogues, at only Is. 6d , Which will ad. mit a party of Six also at the Star and Garter, and Castle , Rich . mond ; the Grand hotel, at the Slough Terminus ; the Auction Mart ; and in Covent-garden IN LINCOLNSHIRE, NEAR 'lO BOSTON.—IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY SUITED TO TRUS TEES, WHO WOULD INVES I' IN PERFECT SAFETY, PRODUCING £2,700 A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE TITHES. 31 R. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that he is directed by the Devisee, in trust of THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETI'T'ION, on THURSDAY, the 25th of April, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVESTMENT, Freehold of Inheritance, and uniting very many substantial advan tapes FRITH'S BANK, and EARL'S CROFT ESTATES. Are situxte within two short miles of TOWN one of the best markets extant, surrounded by capital THE BOROUGH OF BOSTO?: in this vicinity has, from days of yore, been proverbial forsupe rior., adjoining water carriage to all parts of England. th e quality ; it grows the best Wheat and Oats, and the Pasture is famed ior its capability in fattening Bullocks very quickly, and those The its Land who are at al: conversant in the soil of the land will know how to appreciate these irn; ortant facts. The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tenants-at will; it will, however, be exceedingly desirable to make in this respect very considerable alterations. The Farms aro used in their ancient state, and are infinitely too small. Sound judg ment will direct that they be divided into fivo or six, instead of the present numb7r ; it will then be a matter of great facility to provide substantial Yeomen to get rich upon this greatly favoured soil: but Mr. Robins would fail in his duty to the Public if he did not state Hat the Hduses arid Out-Buildings throughout the Property are greatly in need of repair ; indeed, the suggestion he would venture to make is, to rase them to !he ground, and with the materials, and less than .£2,000, Three First-rate Abodes, with _corresponding farming premises, replace the present works of antiquity. It should be observed that there is a saving clause to this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Searby's abode and buildings need no out ay whatever, and this is the largest farm. THE PROPERTY NUMBERS TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES, INDEPENDENTLY OF THE TITHES UPON THE ESTATE. THE WHOLE WITHIN A RING FENCE, besides the unpretending, but really comfortable little public-house, known as " the Monson Arms," where " mine host" Eno knows and practices what belongs t 3 the entertainment and comfort of his friends. The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's judgment to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years back has been £2,660 a year. The times having varied, Mr. Robins has subjected it to a careful personal survey, and he is not a little pleased to proclaim a very welcome fact, that when the outlay already noticed is accom plished, the property will very readily produce, with an unexcep tionable tenantry, from .-C2,700 to Two THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. The division of the soil is very encouraging ; there are 52. l acres of capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow Land, and 455 acres of soil congenial to Wheat and Oats ; the former yielding five and six quarters and the latter frcm seven to ten quarters per acre. Now this representation of the Estate cannot be charg d with colour ing the Landscape beyond its deserts ; and it may be well to remind such as were last year sceptical in respect to the corn-laws, that the agricultural horizon is no longer clouded by doebt or uncertainty— the manly, judicious, and unequivocal declaration of SIR R. , BER PEEL ought to quiet the apprehensions of all those whet desire to see the agriculturing and manufacturing interests go quietly in harness toge ther, without any undue partiality. Indeed, his declaration is so en couraging, I cannot do better than quote his own words—ie will, or ought to silence scepticism : " I NEITHER HAVE, NOR DO I CONTEMPLATE ANY CHANGE WHATEVbR IN THE CORN-LA WS." To conclude, Trustees, and all persons having their capital depo ' sited in the funds, will do well to ponder, and to exercise their understanding, and the result must (or ought to be) that Three per Cents. at PS is a tearfully high and unnatural price as com pared with Land which will now return a clear in come of Three and a Half per Cent., with prospective views exceedingly defighttul, when placed in juxtapi,sition with the Funds.

THE MANOR AND ESTATES OF LITTLE TAYNTON, FIVE MILES FROM GLOUCESTER. AND TW,) FROM NEWENT, TWO EXCELLENT FREEHOLD FARMS, INCLUDING 330 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, IN A RING FENCE, A GREAT PORTION TITHE FREE. "1/1 - R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL y peremptorily at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 18th of April, at Twelve, ir. 'I wo Lots, A VERY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, and especially all such as desire to invest without any sort of risk. It includes TWO VERY EXCELLENT WELL APPOINTED FREEHOLD FA b MS, with suitable Farm-Iluildmgs to each, very desirably situate at Little Taynton, six miles from Mitchell Dean, and only five miles distant from Gloucester, comprehending 230 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, underlet at FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS A.YEA R. of which two-thirds is very superior Pasture and Feeding Land, in a high state of cultivation, in the occupation of Mr. \V. K. Ford, and Mr. Pontirg, at very low ',Tits • they originally PRODUCED SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR. THE PORT OF GLOUCESTER, it need hardly be remarked, has now become a formidable rival to Bristol, and besides this, the produce of this tine soil is available in less than five hours of the Metropolis ut London. THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS give consequence to thepossessorTto say nothing of the value of the sporting. By the way, we must not overlook a feature which, in days of yore, was accounted of importance, nothing less than a GOLD MINE. Extract from a description of England and Wales in 1769 ;—" It ought not to be omit, ed, that at Taynton, near Newent, on the northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was discovered about the year 1: 00 , of which a lease was granted to some refiners, who ex. tracted some gold from the ore, but had not spirit to follow it up." A ga in, in England a Gazetteer, printed in 1790, is the fidlowing:— T a ynton, Gloucestershire, four miles S. E. ftom Newent, six from Mitchel-Dean, and seven W. from Gloucester. In 1700, there was an OBE found here, from which the refiners extracted gold," but they alto lacked enterprise. Mi n ing and refining is now a much more simple and less expensive operation than it was a century ago. A spirited individual will, in all probability, find this " A MINE OF WEALTH." Cheltenham, the most fashionable watering place in England, is on ly a short role, and is a capital market, as well as Gloucester, for all the roduce. Its exemption from tithe, to a great extent, is an important feature. Tho Ettates may be viewed, with the leave of the tenants, and particula s had at the King' s Head, Gloucester ; the Royal Hotel, Ch e ltenham; of Messrs. Law an d Tindall, Solicitors, New.square, Lincoln's Inn; Mr. Bailey, Solicitor, Gloucester; Messrs.

UNITING MUCH THAT BY-GONE TIMES HAD NUT EVEN DREAM' OF. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the Proprietor to SELL by PUBLIC COMPE TITION, at the Auction Mart in the month of Mar, CREMORNE HOUSE, CHELSEA, WITH ITS FASCIN aTING AND BEAU TIFULLY.ORNA- Mh.INTED GROUNDS, on the bank of the River. This far-famed place of entertainment is offered most opportunely so spirited individuals for coals etruan. Vauxhall-gardens having ceased to exist, the public will necessarily require A MORE PERFECT VAUXHALL, combinin advantages that were entirely overlooked at the old spot, and avoiding the manifest imperfections, so often, and at 1 st so fatal!) , pred.cted, to that of the old school. THE MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT, progressing at a railway pace, from the new Palace towards the once favoured abode of LORD AND LADY CREMORNE warrants the fearless assertion that a spirited individual, with a moderate capital and an observing and reflecting mind, must soon realise a large fortune, if he possess but tact and can begat novelty, he will leave no feeling'of lament that the puritild spirit of old Vauxhall has risen in a more fashionable region Mean while the usual business of the licensed Stadium, as also the letting of the Grosinds for public or private fetes, flower-shows, arc., will proceed without interruption Mr. Robins would enlist the capitalist and speculator to bear in mind that the Grand Secret 01 Life, as a ell as in Shooting, is TO KNOW WHEN TO PU .L THE TRIGGER, and that a SPLE • DID INDEPENDENCE can be reaped by a skilful ma nagement by pos , e , sing this valuable property It will be sufficient to state a few of its manifold advantages. It is in a situation in itself beautiful, and of daily increasing importance; a locale which will not yield to any other for opportunity to employ capital. THE ELEGANT MANSION has always been an object of admiration to the throngs gaily gliding on Old Father Thames on steamers in rapid succession, its conve niences are very perfect, inc•uding suites of chambers of noble pro portions, the five principal apartments on the ground floor csminu nicating, and forming an extent of itO feet, all beautifully deco rated ; the floors of fine oak, the doors of polished mahogany, and the Windows of plate Oars ; Numerous sieephsg chambers, and en, eellent offices. It would seem that, as AN HOTEL OF VIE HIGHEST PRETENSIONS, it must here, amist the quiet retirement of umbrageous walks, wind ing through SPACIOUS AND LUXURIANT GROUNDS, extending to ten acres, ADORNED BY STATELY TIMBER TREES, soon and lastingly secure a preference faom the Nubility, whilst t 1 the necessary concomitants to carry out so profitable a plan, a atit wider scope will be presented by the Company of the " WEST L'-) NJ DON !, AMWAY EXTENSION" having settled, that not only its Thames Terminus, but also a very superior Floating Pier, are to be placed within forty yards of the Stadium, and whereby the thousands now fre quenting ('remorne House will be swelled intc as many tens of thou sands at the lea t, whilst the renewal from time to time of the Excise Licenses and especially of THIS LICENSE PURSUAN 1' TO THE 15th OF . GEORGE 11., granted to the Proprietor (which elsew'mre has been a source of im. mense pecuniary gain), will afford a still wider scope for real sing an immense income, at the same time enabling the fortunate possessor of the Stadium to re-introduce entertainments "OUTVIEING RANELAGH OF OLD;" The property possess the advantage of THREE DISTINCT FRONTAGES, which nuts" not be lost sight of. THE ORNAMENTAL PARTERRE IN FRONT extends to the very shores of the Thames ; and on the opposite side of the King's.road is A RICH PADDO'K OF TWELVE ACRES; and, though last not least, in no!nt of profit, may be enumerated "THE STADIUM CANTEEN," a capital public-house, sure of deriving from the Railway exten t sion and its Terminus, and Floating Pier, a moat thriving trade.

ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE MESSIIS• .ALLSOPP and SONS regret the 1J ~~JJLL necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by Messrs. Bass and Co., purporting to be a correct representation of the current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies. The incorrectness of the returns alluded to has been fully shi wn in a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have pertinaciously refuse I to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in cumbent upon Messrs Allsopp to lay before the pnblic the tolowing detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by themselves and Messrs. Bass respec ivelv. In order to avoid the pos. sibility of mistake, the most careful examination of the official re ports of the Indian markets, during a period extending over the months of Novernb.‘r, December, and January last, has been made, and Messrs. Allsopp confidently submit the result as a proof of the superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three Presidencies, CALCUTTA. The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) saes:— " Of Allsopp's Ale 430 hhds. have been sold at Company's rupees 67 to 77 per h hd. ; and of Bass's 31'0 hhds , at. from 65 to fi7 rupees " The " Review of the Calcutta Matket" (Nov. 14) give this quo tation: Allsopp On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 Olds. of Allsopp's Ale, at 72. to 75 rupees, and Bass's ditto at 70. The " Bengal Hurkaru" (Dec 19) quotes the following sales : hhels. rps. ans. hhds. rps. ans. rps- Allsopp . 2,0., 72 8 Bass ..... ...too ft., 0 Ditto 2(0 l5 0 Ditto lOO. 70 0 to 72 n the 1 4et except Messrs.

O soldite th e 75 rupees , e pricesol Ale asnominal,and on the 17th of January at 85 rupees (50 hhds). 41 On the 14th of December, Messrs. Lyall, Matheson ' and Co., say, " sales No of Bass's Ale have been made for some time past , we cannot, therefore, give an Ritual quotation ; but rupees 67 t o 70 below may be considered its value, er live rupees - your own brewing." Under the head of Calcutta, Messrs. A llsot. p have only to add that Messrs. Bass and Co. have quoted sales of their own Beer at that place at SO rupees, and Messrs- Allsopp's at 75 ruts( es per hhd. ; and on the 17th of January they even quote actual sales at do rupees. Messrs. Allsapp have taken some pains to ascertain the truth cf these statements, and find that the ground for these quota tions is a shipment of 10 butts by the "Tecumseh," 8 of which, having been consumed on hoard the vessel, v ere charged to the owners at 90 rupees per hhd. as by ac.coubt sale: rendered* I7th January, 1-44, the remaining two be ng landed at Calcutta and sold, one by private sale, at 8 I rupees per hhd., and the other (ullaged) at 70. ihe actual sale alluded lo by Messrs. Bass and Co. on the 22d December,• at 80 rupees , turns out to be the identical parcel quoted above, and Messrs. Mackay Hilt, ano., by request of Messrs. Allsopp, ha , ing applied to Messrs. Bass an Co., for account s ales confirmatory of thirst atement, are informed by them that "there re no account sa es corresponding therewith." MADRAS. The last recorded sales of Beer on the spot (Oct. 18) stood thus : Allsopp 7O rupees per hhd. I Bass 65 rupees per lihd. Messrs. Bass arid Co., state, under this heart, that some of their Beer had been sold at 68 rupees 8 annas. This, however, as it ap pears from the statement of Messr s. Haviside and Co., was for ...le of the present season to arrive; while, at the same period, Mesas. Hall and Co., of Madras, had refused that price t ore' 4.0 hhds. of All-opp'essrs. s. The attention of the public is requested to ingenuity of M Bass anti Co.'s re' rese.itation in this instance. BOMBAY. The sales of Ale at this place , a s p er Price Current (Nov. 1), were— Allsopp '2oo hhds. at ('5 cups. I Bass 6O rups. to 61 sups The s we Price Current (Dec. I) says :—" We have been apprised of a sale of 50 hht's. of Allsopp and Co., at 65 rupees per i.hd ; of Bass's two sales have been reported to us, one of 52 hhds., at 61 rupees, and the other of .5 hhds., at 60 rupees. Annther Price Current (Dec. 1) rem irks :—" We Ira -e heard mention of 2 0 !Olds of Allsopp's having been sold, since the dispatch of the last mail, at 65 ru e a er !slid., which cleared the market for the time. A furtl er supply of 200 hints. has sines come in, of which some had been previously sold at the above price to arrive. The de. mand for this brew has been brisk throughout the month, arising, as we understand, tram the very favourable reports received from the country of the quality of last season's brew." SHIPMENTS OF ALE TO INDIA. Under this head Messrs. Bass have attempted to take an advan. cage in publishing the exports of Messrs. Allsopp fr• m the Ist of October to the Ist of February last. The returns are, however, grossly untrue, inasmuch as they have understated the shipments of Messrs. Allsopp in that time to the extent of 60 h ds. to Calcutta alone. It is true that Messrs. Allsopp's shipments at this period were unusually small, and that, with the exception of about NO nhds , their shipping season did not commence till late in November, in conse quence of very extensive alterations and enlargements in their brew ery, which increase:l business obliged them to make. It is necessary to o bserve, however, that there is great possibility of error in arriving at the correct account of exports of Beer, and on this account Messrs. Allsopp have not ventured to publish the shipments from 1342 to 1341, lest they shou.d not be strictly correct, but from te tober, 1341, to October, 18;2. they were as follows, as admitted by Messrs. Bass : Bombay.. Madras and Calcutta. Total Hhds. Allsopp Bass Messrs. Allsopp have only to remark that the shipments of the subsequent year havo been as nearly as po sible in the same proportion. notwithstan4ing Messrs. Bass and Co.'s " four months' statements," when their brewery was net at work. In closing the above exposition of the advertisement put forth by Messrs Bass, it is necessary to state that, on a private representa. tion of its gross incorrectness being ITI ide to that firm by Messrs. Allsopp, a reply was received in which the admission was made that, by a typographical error, souse misstatement hid occurred. In that 'etter an alleged "corrected form" was inclosed, containing the same glaring inaccuracies, which Messrs. Allsopp have been thus com pelled to expose. Messrs. Bass arid Co were the fist to aclop' a system of a ivertising : their intent on to assume a position in India with regard to the consumption of their Beer, to which th •y have no Vann, cannot be misunderstood ; ant, hewev. r repug! ant to their own feelings, Messrs. Allsopp consider it due to flu mselvcs and the public to expose the misrepresentations which have been so in.•!ustriously circulated, and defend the pre-eminent position which Ale of their manufacture has invariably held both in the Indian and the home markets. Burton-upon-Trent, March 29, IC4 I. * it will be observed, as a curious fact, that these quotations of sales are represented by two casks landed in Caleatta, one by private sale at 80 rupees, and the other rullaged) at 70 rupees; whilst on the same day (17th January), Messrs. Gladstone and Co. notice a whole sale sale of 50 hhds. of Allsopp's at s!5 rupees. CABBUR N' S ANTI-DOLORIC OIL. REPORTS FROM MEDICAL DISPENSARIES.

Every one who recollects the chief circumstance which caused the death of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Or leans will be struck with the similar nervousness displayed in a melancholy accident which has just occurred at Cam bridge, and which had an equally fatal termination. On Thursday Mr. Edward Jones Fox, of St. John's College, and a son of br. Fox, of Bristol, was driving a phaeton and pair along the Trumph.gton-road, in which were three of his friends, when on coming near the stone bridge the horses began to pull too strong for him. He attempted, instead of pulling them in gradually, to stop them by a sudden and powerful check, for which purpose he put his leg across the reins; whilst he was in the act of doing so the reins broke, and the horses made off at full speed. Mr. Fox leaped unfortunately from his seat, and fell to the ground. The other gentlemen kept to the carriage and managed by degrees to stop the horses. Colonel Glover and his son were walking on the road at the time of the accident, and came .up to Mr. Fox, who they thought had landed safely on his feet at first, although he instantly fell to the ground. They raised him up, and perceived there was a profusion of blood where his head had lain for the mo ment. He walked for a few paces, and declared he could not go on any further, and they laid him down by the bank on the way side until further assistance arrived. Mr. Bailey Turner, a surgeon, coming up at this time in his gig, the unfortunate gentleman was placed alongside of him, and con ,..veyed..ttftwerds ,Ounbridge, Taal ,the,.intention of, stopping at the hospital. He became, however, unmanageable, from the strong convulsions into which he fell, and he succeeded in throwing himself over the wheel. He was then taken into the house of Mr. Walters, architect, where he was put to bed and attended to. Dr. Haviland and Messrs. Sudbury and Johnson, surgeons, afforded every medical as sistance, but in vain : he expired at eleven o'clock the same night. An inquest was held on Friday, before Mr. Cooper, the Coroner of the town, when it appeared that the names of the gentlemen who had been in the phaeton on the occasion, and who luckily escaped unhurt, were Watson, Dobson, and Gordon. The first-mentioned had endeavoured, but in vain, to assist Mr. Fox in restraining the horses in the first instance, by pulling the rein next himself. It was then that Mr. Fox, determining to pull in at any risk, and put his leg across the reins, met with the melancholy accident which occurred. Mr. Charles Davis, landlord of the King's Head, the owner of the horses, as well as his ostler, George Trace, were examined, and from their evi dence, it appeared iat the harness was good and service• able, and that the horses had been constantly driven, both ix single and double harness, without any accident ever having taken place with them. The dreadful occurrence took place between three and four o'clock, and it appears by Mr. Sudbury, the surgeon's, evidence, who saw deceased about a quarter of an hour after he fell, that a collapse of a couple of hours took place, when a re-action followed, and, with the consent of all the medical men present, he was bled. Mr. Sudbury, in continuation, stated that, for the next hour, he seemed to improve—his breathing was better, but there was no return of consciousness. He remained in much the same state 'till about half-past ten, becoming gradually worse during that time. There was afterwards a great hemorrage from the nose ; the discharge continued from the ears. Death was caused by a fracture at the base of the skull, producing compression of the brain. 'Witness attended him some time ago, and he fancied that he had a disease of the heart, which was, in witness's opinion, ima ginary. The deceased was of a nervous temperament. The coroner was of opinion, with respect to the amount of a deodand, that no blame whatever, was attached to Mr. Davis, or to any one in his employment; in fact, he was not pre pared to say, that there should be any deodand, as the acci dent resulted, not from the horses becoming affrighted, but fright of the deceased, and his having jumped out. In ac cordance with this opinion, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased, being frightened at the breaking of the reins, threw himself from the phaeton, and falling on the ground, received a concussion of the brain, from which injury he died." The inquest was attended by a great many mem bers of the University, friends of the deceased, who was an exceedingly promising, generous .hearted, and amiable young man, and universally beloved and esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. It might have been deemed a strange circumstance that one of the best drivers of his age in England should have evinced such want of tact and pre sence of mind on such a trying occasion, had not Mr. Sud• bury, his medical attendant, testified to the fact of his nervous temperament. APPALLING OCCURRENCE at the ADELPHI THEATRE, GLASGOW. - (From the Gasgow Citizen of Saturday.) Last night one of those appalling incidents occurred at the Alelphi Theatre, which illustrate `so forcibly the effects of a sudden panic upon a large crowd. The evening's per formances were for the benefit of Mr. J. Grey, a popular member of Mr. Miller's company, and boxes, pit, and gallery were crowded to excess. Everything went on well till about half-past ten o'clock, when a false alarm of fire arose in the gallery. A fire had broken out in another part of the town—namely, in the premises of Mr. Niven, printer, Glassford-street, which, however, was speedily extinguished ; and it appears that the alarm was in cautiously sounded in the theatre for the purpose of getting out certain men belonging to the fire brigade who happened to be among the audience, and who, according we believe to custom, had left notice where they were in case of their being required. The scene which ensued it is impossible to describe. In a moment all was confusion and dismay. The rush to the doors, and over the gallery and boxes into the pit, and from the pit upon the stage, was tremendous. Large numbers were thrown down and trampled under foot, and the noise and shrieking which prevailed rendered any attempt at ex planation utterly hopeless. Several of the actors kept their ground and made every exertion to pacify the audience—others rushed, apparelled as they were, into the street ; and a considerable time elapsed before order was even partially restored. Fortunately it was found that no one was killed, but numbers were much hurt— some, we regret to say, seriously. Mr. Miller, the manager was untiring in his efforts to minister to the bruised and wounded, several of whom he sent home in noddies. Dr. Easton, surgeon to the police establishment, and Dr. King, North Hanover-street, were speedily upon the spot, and the sufferers received all the attention which was possible under the circumstances. Many were of course much more frightened than hurt, and the confusion was increased by friends seek ing friends, and by exaggerated rumours of the numbers injured, as well as of the extent of the injuries. At the late hour at which we write, and so soon after the occurrence of the catastrophe, it is not easy to procure authentic details; but the following, we believe, is a list of all the more serious casualties : Christina M'Coll, 18 or 19 years of age, residing at foot of Saltmarket—taken home bruised. James Chalmers, Goosedubs, injured on left side—sent to Infirmary. • Peter Brodie, weaver in Cambuslang—leg sprained in dropping from gallery to pit. Barney lkl‘Pheely, a boy, residing at 13, Little Dove-hill — sent home bruised. _ • _ _ C. J. Dupain, spirit dealer, Saltmarket—carried to his own house, having received some injuries in the back, but not, it is thought, serious. A young man, having the appearance of a working lad, dressed in moleskin trowsers, jacket, and waistcoat—taken, to infirmary on a police-bier. This case is more serious than any of the others. He was unable to speak when taken up, and accordingly his name has not been learned. • Andrew Templeton, King-street, Calton—bruised on the side. One man, whose name we could not ascertain, had his arm dislocated and his jaw injured ; another had his arm severely cut, and a third had lacerated his hands in dropping from the gallery. In addition to these, there are, no doubt, many trifling injuries ; but it is amazing that numbers were not killed. No blame, of course, attaches to the conductors of the theati a, who did all they could to check the groundless panic, and who were afterwards unremitting in their exertions to alleviate its unhappy consequences. A good deal of damage has been done to the theatre by the breaking down of benches, chandeliers, &c.; but this we believe to be the least source of regret to the manager, who seems a benevolent and kind-hearted man. Among the minor incidents, we may mention that poor old Livingstone (formerly well known on the Queen-street boards, and who now fills the situation of box-keeper), was knocked down by some miscreant when the confusion was at its height, and robbed of several pounds. NEW ROTAL ExcluNGE.—With the promptitude and punctuality that has attended all the proceedings con nected with this great work, the mass of Bank .buildings, which concealed the principal or west front have been re moved within a short month, and the portico in all its splendid proportions is now exhibited. We understand that this portico is the largest by far in London, and that it is only second to the portico of the Pantheon at Rome, and the Madeleine at Paris. It consists in front of eight Corinthian columns, the extreme breadth being 90 feet, and the height to the apex of the pediment 76 feet. The general proportions of this portico are exceedingly admired, and there ap pears but one feeling in the City, that the architect has suc ceeded in producing one of the finest works of the present age. At the meeting of the Joint Gresham Committee which took place on Saturday, we are informed that this feel ing was exhibited by the most liberal suggestion for further decorations in sculpture at the expense of the Committee; and it was resolved that in addition to the sculpture in the pediment, the interior should be decorated by a statue of our gracious Queen Victoria, and that inasmuch as the statue of the munificent founder, Sir Thom as Gresham, in the old Exchange, was destroyed by fire, a new one should be pro vided and placed in the niche of Chef tower over the great eas tern entrance. Other suggestions or further decorations were referred to a sub-committee for consideration. The place of the statue of the Duke of 'Wellington in front of the portico of the Exchange is also determined upon, and it will be about 30 yards back from the corner of Princes-street, and in the centre of the area created by the destruction of B an k. buildings. PROLIFIC EWE OF THE LEICESTER EREED.--Mr. Thomas sell, farmer, of Randle Holme Hall, has at this time a ewe seven years of age, that has had 19 lambs, which are all living and doing well. She brought them forth as fol- lows :—At one year old she had 2 lambs ; at two, she had 2 ; at-three, - 3 ; at our, 3; at five, 4 ; at six, 2 ; at seven, 3. FREAKS F A HORSE.--A circumstance, of an unusually strange character occurred at Bromley, Kent, on Thursday' afternoon, which happily terminated without serious injury. A horse, while being cleaned in the stables of Mr. Pawley, of the White Hart Hotel, became restive, and started into the street, p: oceeding through the village at a furious pace. Being suddenly checked, he returned, and rushed into the front entrance of the hotel, and, after plunging and kicking for some time, bolted through a long passage, ascended two flights of stairs, and finally made his way into t 4 a4sembly.,ls ; ki n - 4 where the door was imtne cliqOlti4d on hind, After breaking a tbw tables, chairs, e was Anally secured, anti with great difficulty con veyed claim stairs to his old quarters. MAGAZINES.-(CONTINUED.) NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The character, habits, personal peculiarities ' &c. l of the Emperor _Nicholas arc minutely described in i Number, by a writer u ho, it appears, has been some years resident in Russia, and has had many opportu nities of picking up Court gossip. He represents the Czar as one of the handsomest and most symmetrical men of his age, upwards of six feet in height, stately and severe in his demeanour, and greatly addicted to frightening, honest people out . of their wits by the sternness of his Imperial stare. His acquirements are more than respectable; he speaks French and German with perfect fluency,' has a passable know ledge of English literature, but is so little acquainted with our insular character and habits that he is con stantly falling into error, whenever England is the , theme of his conversation. His brother, the Grand , Duke Michael, is equally uninformed on this point, so much so that when . "he meets the clergyman of the British factory of St. Petersburgh in. the streets, he addresses him in English with, ' Ah, G—d d—n your eyes, how are you ?' " This he means as a courteous salutation, and of course the discreet parson acknowledges it with becoming pride and thankful ness. There appears by all accounts to be much that is melodramatic in the character Of Nicholas ; like Louis the Fourteenth, he is a sort of made-up man, and eechibits his warlike propensities to considerable advan tage at reviews, though we do not learn that he has ever found courage enough to head his armies in the field, or that his campaigns have ever extended be yond the parade ground of St. Petersburgh. He has not yet achieved in person even the capture of a pig sty, and must, therefore, be considered as a less expe rienced warrior than the gallant Major Sturgeon, whose daring assault on the old sow at the head of the City Light Horse, has immortalized his memory. " Recreations in Natural History" are devoted this month to an account of the habits and physical pecu Rarities of the elephant, of whose sagacity several curious anecdotes are related. " Social Nuisances" is an anathema against_ lap-dogs, in the justice of which we cordially concur. " Their selfishness is de testable," observes the author, "they engross the snuggest chairs in the room, secure the best morsels, and drink up all the cream at breakfast, without the _ _ least regard to the duties of hospitality, or the com monest principles of politeness.' But this is not all ; notwithstanding the aristocratic circles in which they move, they are the most vulgar dogs in the kingdom, and make a point of turning up their noses at such of their brethren as have not had the good fortune to be educated in the drawing-room. In an essay on the "Rights of Dramatic Authors, " occur some speculations on the causes of the decline of Comedy among us. The question is one by no means difficult of solution. Our national manners and feelings have been so much toned down of late years by constant intercourse with the Continent, and the steady march of refine ment and intelligence,' that those marked distinctive traits of character, which are the aliment of the Comic Muse, are no longer to be found among us. One man is now just for all the world like another man; we have become sophisticated, and present no marks for the shafts of wit and humour. True, our social, literary, and political coteries still furnish ample food for ridicule, but it is the business of Comedy to deal, not with masses, but with individuals. " The Emi grants of St. Thomasso" is a passable poem, from the pen ofiMrs. Gore; and we canextend no higher praise to Horace Smith's "Moral Alchemy," which is a lan guid imitation of Wordsworth's didactic manner. " April Fool's Day all the Year Round" is a sprightly essay, whose execution is as ingenious as its conception. " Lady Londonderry's Journal" is full of entertaining gossip about Athens, PalermO, Naples, and the society to be met with in these cities. " The Wedding Day" is one of Ingoldsby's diverting legends, and exhibits some of his raciest touches of sarcasm and drollery. In hunting about for ex tracts, we can find none better suited to our circum scribed space than this pleasing poetical apostrophe to " The Laurel :" Oh ! the willow may wave o'er the mouldering grave, For a scorner of valour is she, But the type of renown is the evergreen crown, That is form'd of the bright Laurel-tree ; His green leaves have shed o'er the brow of the dead, The halo of lasting renown, For the mighty of earth, in their pride and their worth, Were wreathed by the bright laurel crown Peerless and changeless—oh ! long flourish he, The pride of the nation—the green Laurel-tree. Then hail to the Laurel—the evergreen King? For a monarch undying is he ; An emblem of fame, from past ages he came, And still sacred his branches shall be: For him lives the warrior, his life of renown, His glory gives nerve to the brave ; There's fame in his breath, and his boughs after death, Are the emblems we carve on his grave ! Peerless and changeless, immortal shall be, The pride of the nation, the green Laurel tree. Though brace be the Laurel, we love him the most, That he blooms net alone for the strong; That his bright leaves are hung, for the Bards who have sung, Whose voices were mighty in song ! Oh ; a song in his praise, shall be heard when the days Of our warriors and minstrels are o'er, When he yields then the fame of an undying name, Like the Bards and the Heroes of yore! Peerless and changeless,—oh ! long flourish he, The evergreen monarch—the green Laurel tree. ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE. Mr. Jerrold's allegorical " Chronicles of Clover nook" are here resumed; it is impossible not to ad mire the vigorous power of fancy that pervades them, but we fear that they do not possess sufficient direct ness and obviousness of meaning to please the genera lity of periodical readers, who are apt to turn with impatience from whatever taxes thought. Yet the author has written few cleverer things, and certainly none whose moral tone is so sound and elevated. The " Orphan Milliners, a Tale of the West End" is by Miss Camilla Toulmin • it is forcibly and unaffec tedly written ; and is illustrated by an engraving, which represents a groupe of emaciated girls toiling like slaves at their needle by midnight in order to meet the demands of fashion—that smooth but inex orable tyrant who laughs to scorn all the claims of humanity. " Sketches of Parisian Life" convey a livily idea of the dandy of that over-refined capital. In the essay on the " Belles of England" we find a brief biographical notice of the famous Duchess of Marlborough—the conqueror of the conqueror of France, and who ruled her terrified sovereign with a rod of iron. " Levy Papers" is a whimsical exposure of some of the trickeries of legal pettifoggers. The theme is a tempting one, .and the lash cannot be laid on in too severe a spirit. The " Chaunt of Death" contains a striking image or two, and we subjoin it accordingly " I am not of earth, but spirit born, Yet the wide world owns my sway; Its pomp and its might I laugh to scorn, For all must my will obey. I visit the halls of dazzling light, Enter the loftiest domes, And all is anguish, and all is night, Where the King of Terror comes.. _ " I reign o'er the waves of the mighty deep— I ride on the stormy wind— On every shore _where breakers sweep, My ruthless track you find. I soar on the wings of the pestilence — Am heard in the tempest's crash — And when earth is veiled in gloom intense,. I sail in the lightning's flash. " Yet oft in loveliest guise I dwell, — On the light of the clear blue eye, On the blooming cheek, set Imy spell,— They wither —decay—and die. And often I lurk in the night-wind's sigh, And steal in the youthful breast,— And gently, calmly, and silently, Doth that spirit sink to rest .And I smile as I niarkthe youthful brow Bent over the midnight ii an s p i d a agsste'' And Sage, At th l e is s t h t r h i e n e fo o n f a ß e a u r t a h When I have doomed him to sure decay, And know, while his bays are green, That his toil- worn f rame s h a ll pass awa y From earth, and "no more be seen." " I care not for pomp or glittering crown, Serf and Lord are alike to me— For the mightiest king must bow him down To a mightier king than he. I speak! and the loftiest head must bend. From creation's earliest dawn - I have reigned, and my reign shall only end With the last of woman born. " All things of earth—of air—of sky— Must yield them unto me, And the vast and glittering worlds on high Shall my parting conquest be; • For the heavens shall melt and pass away Ere the work of death be done, And the Sun himself shall see decay Ere my earthly race be run. " The universe with my fame path rune Since my banner I unfurled, And my parting requiem shall be sung 'Mid the ruins of a world. Lord over all with life and breath! The same triumphant chime That sounds the dirge of the monarch, Death, Must sotind the knell of Time." By the new naval regulations masters in the Royal navy, prior to being appointed to situations in the Royal dock yards, are to be promoted to the rank of commanders. Sir Joseph Douglas, master, will be among the first promoted, and appointed Master-Attendant of Deptford Dockyard, as a reward for his distinguished services whilst in command of a merchant-ship at the commencement of the war with China, and for which the honour of knighthood was conferred upon him by her Majesty. The Collingwood, 80, sister to the Vanguard, was docked on Tuesday to have her copper cleaned and be got ready for her pendant. She has discharged some of her ballast. and is already fitted as an advanced ship ; her cabins, &c., are all fitted, and she will be commissioned - in the early part of May. Captain Henry Eden is appointed to the command of her. Captain Eden was flag-captain of the Impregnable, 104, under Sir Graham Moore, when Commander-in-Chief at Devonport. The Pestonjee Bomanjee, transport, Lieutenant W. Stilli- • agent, arrived on Tuesday from the West Indies with the re maining companies of the 59th Regiment (six officers,267 men, 23 women, and 38 children), under the command of Captain Boughty. The Pestonjee Bomanjee left Spithead on the 21st of January, and made the voyage to Barbadoes and back in somewhat less than two months. She came into this harbour on Wednesday, and landed her troops at the Royal Dockyard, whence they immediately marched to Fort Cumberland, there being insufficient accommodation for them in this garrison. Five of the soldiers died on their passage home. from dysentery, and several are still suffering from the same com Plaint. The Apollo troop-frigate, Commander William Maclean, arrived at Jamaica on the 22d of February, in 30 days from Gibraltar, having on board the 48th Regiment. After land ing them at Kingston, she was to embark the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade for Quebec, whence she would bring home the 68th Light Infantry to this port. The West India squa dron were lying at Port Royal on the 23d of February, and consisted of the Illustrious, s l2, Captain Erskine, flag of Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Adams, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief; the Imaum, 72, Commodore Sharpe, C.B. ; the Spartan, 26, Captain the Hon. C. Elliott ; the Eurydice, 26, Captain El liott; the Hermes, 3, steamer, Lieutenant-Commander W. Carr ; and the Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Rickets. The Helena was to proceed to Rio Janeiro, and thence to the Cape of G ooct -- Hope. The British Sovereign transport is ordered to the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Ceylon, with detachments of the 12th, 27th, 90th, and 91st Regiments. The Hecate steam-vessel, Commander Bower, will shortly leave the river Shannon for the African coast. The steam squadron consisted of the Stromboli, the Tartarus, the Comet, and the Dwarf. Lieutenant Chamberlain has assumed the command of the Dwarf, vice Nicholls, drowned. The Rhadamanthus steam troop-ship, M'Lean master, may daily be expected on her way to Woolwich from Cork. The Firefly steam-vessel is commissioned by Capt. F. W. Beechy, for surveying service. The Philomel, 10, Comniander Sullivan, on the 15th of January was surveying near the Falkland Islands, crew all well. It was expected she would remain there till June. The Madagascar, 44, Captain Foote, is ordered home from Ascension. The Thames convict-ship, 42, is daily looked for at Spit head, on her way to Bermuda as a depot. The Emerald tender returned on Wednesday from Woolwich. The Drake lighter arrived from Devonport on Thursday, with stores. The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander Tringham, sailed on Tuesday, to protect the fishery on the coast of Sussex. The Vestal sloop, Captain Talbot, sailed from New York on the 27th of February, destination unknown, supposed to be Canton. The Belleisle and the Rattlesnake troop-ships are on their passage to England from China.
