A one-act farce, from the pen of the indefatigable Morton, was produced here last evening. It is en - titled the Corporal's Wedding ; or, a Kiss of the Bride. The scene is lai3 in Plymouth, where a cer tain Major Griskin (Selby) and a Sir Felix Marma lade (Hudson) are soiourning. The former is a hen pecked husband, and the latter a gay bachelor, affianced to the daughter _of Squire Partridge (Lam bert). Corporal Cobb ~(Munyard) has. that morning been married, and the Major and the Baronet deposit each a hundred pounds, the stakes to be given to him who shall first seize a kiss of the bride. Cobb is placed under arrest for having exceeded his leave 9f absence, and so far the coast is cleared for the ma nceuv , •es of the rakes ; but Nancy Cobb (Miss Woolgar), completely out-generals both the field-officr and his associate. She is placed under surveillance in Sir Frederick's apartments who has that night invited a number of bao7icioy friends to a take-leave supper. He writes notes 'to thr , m, putting them off, but Nancy adroitly substi tute, for them notes to Lady Arethusa Griskin (capi tally acted by Mrs. F. Matthews) and Squire Part ridge, inviting* them to Sir Frederick's ; and just as the Major and Sir Frederick are about to sit down to a petit sou ppe with Nancy, the Lady Arethusa, the Squire, and the guests arrive, and a rare scene of confusion ensues. Nancy not only obtains the 2001 without the kiss, but, by threatening to report the Major to " head quarters," obtains the discharge of the enroll-al ; who, of course, gets the first kiss— while Sir Frederick loses the hand of Miss Partridge, which is bestowed upon the man of her choice, Sir Frederick's secretary, Mr. Ringwood. The farce was admirably acted, and the laughter was continuous from the rising to the fall of the curtain. Miss Wonle•er and Mr. Munyard were called for at the conclusion, and received with all the honours; and Selby announced the piece for repetition, every even ing, amidst the loud applause of a crowded house. OLYMPIC. Miss Davenport appeared last evening in the cha racter of Juliana in Tobin's comedy of the Honey lfoon. There is a freshness and an originality about this young lady's style of acting which, in these days of dramatic conventionalisms, i . really delightful. She is the servile follower of no school. It is evident that she thinks for herself, and, in every instance, exer cises her own taste and judgment; and as that taste is pure and exquisite, and that judgment is sound and e wrect, it is no wonder that her success is complete. Tier Juliana is beautiful. She depicted the wayward, high sniritel, warm-hearted girl to the life. Tier in dignation at the vile deception which she imagines has been practised on her was admirably given, and beautifully did she delineate the gradual awakening of the better feelings of her heart, until at length she be comes reconciled to her fate, and really loves the man whom she had at one time determined to hate. We have never seen a more beautifully natural and artless Juliana. Her reading of the part is new, but we are satisfied that it is the correct one. Waldron, albeit somewhat heavy, made a respectable Duke Aranza; and Rayner, as the mock Duke, was first-rate. His assumption of the dignified bearing of a sovereign prince, as he sits in judgment, was one of the richest pieces of humour we have seen for many years, and reminlerl us of what the drama was in its palmy days. With regard to the other characters, perhaps the least said the better. The pantomime, which seems to increase in attraction the oftener it is re peated. followed. It is worth paying a visit to see the delight of the children at this pantomime. Mr. Davenport has created a revolution in the nursery, for it will he henceforth useless to attempt to awe children into good behaviour by threatening them with " Old Bacgie." He is now their pet instead of befog their terror. The theatre was well attended. JEWISH LITERARY AND SCIEN TIFIC INSTIT UTION. LITERATURE. FOREIGN LIBRARY. Chapman and Hall, London. 1845. The present Number of this comprehensive Mis cellany contains the first part of a " History of France;' translated by Mr. W a lter Kelly from the French of Michelet. The history commences from the earliest authentic period—that is to say, with a sketch of the manners, customs, &c , of the Gauls in the days of the Romans; and the present Part closes with an account of the dissolution of the Carlovingian Empire. The author possesses many of the best qualities of an historian ; he is thoughtful, learned, patient of research, and shows in every page how completely his heart is in his subject; moreover, he is singularly dispassionate and impartial in his opinions; takes common sense as his guide, and does not allow himself to be led astray as is the case with more than one of the modern French historians—by vague, novel, and showy theories. M. Michelet has much of the sobriety of the English character about him, and even our own Gibbon has scarcely surpassed him in the untiring assuiduity with which he has pushed his extensive researches among the mouldering records of past ages. The liveliest and most picturesque chapter in the present portion of his history is that which he entitles " A Picture of France," in which we meet with much spirited, and even graphic scene-painting, especially as regards Britanny, and the exhausted volcanic mountains of Auvergne. An event, extremely interesting to the members of the Jewish body in Landon, and, in some degree, to those in all parts of the kingdom, took place yesterday evening, in the opening of a new literary and scien tific institution, in Leadenhall-street, intended chiefly, though by no means exclusively, for persons of the Hebrew persuasion. The name fixed upon by the founders is " The Jews' and General Library and Scientific Institution, and " Sussex Hall" has been chosen As the denomination of the building which the institution is to occupy. From the numerous attend ance,-and other circumstances, it was evident that the occasion had been looked forward to by many with deep interest. Amongst the gentlemen assembled, either to take part in the proceedings or to manifest their approval of the undertaking, were the following : Harianel De Castro, Esq., President ; Sir Isaac Lyon Gold4id, Bart., F.R.S. ; Sir Moses Montefiore, _F.R.S:; D. Salomons, Esq.; F. H. Goldsmid, Esq. ; Walter Joseph, Esq. ; Isaac Cohen, Esq. ; D. W. Wire, Esq.; Barnard Van Owen, Esq.; Bazil Montagu, Esq. ; and Dr. Raffael, of Birmingham. A great number of ladies were also present, and appeared to take great interest in all that pissed. The theatre of the institution, in which the company assembled, is a large and handsome apart ment, one of the best, in fact, that we have ever seen in connexion with a literary institution. It had, as the President stated, been previously used as far back as eighty years ago, as a Jewish synagogue. The galleries being retained, and a platform erected on the spot formerly assigned to the ark, and the dome in the centre considerably enlarged, the whole pre sented a very pleasing effect, and is well adapted for the purpose for which it is designed. Shortly after seven o'clock the chair was taken by the President of the Institution, who commenced the proceedings by a brief opening address. After ad verting to the liberal conduct of the Jews in founding and supporting charities for the relief of their neces sitous brethren, he proceeded to speak of the want which had been felt of an institution like that which they were then establishing. They would there he enabled to cultivate, foster, and encourage those noble studies which must prove highly advantageous to all classes of the community, and thus to follow the example of the many laudable societies which had endeavoured to ameliorate the condition of their fellow men. He trusted that the institution would attract such a large body of subscribers and friends as would secure its continuance and success. The Rev. C. M. J. Rantiann then delivered the inaugural oration. In the course of an eloquent ad dress, he remarked that the Jews, as a body. had never underrated the value of knowledge. Every page of their history proved the reverse. They were now preparing, publicly, to vindicate their claims to rank with the votaries of science, the patrons of lite rature, and the benefactors of mankind. It had been said that institutions already existed which rendered that which they were forming unnecessary ; and they had been told that the only effect of the course they were pursuing, would be to strengthen that barrier of exclusion which it should be their chief aim to re move. The principle of the objection, he admitted, was right, but he denied its application to the case in point. This Institution was not exclusive.— Cheers.) They did not refuse to receive any person of respectable character, without subject ing him to any test of religious opinion, or requiring him to subscribe any declaration of faith. — (Applause.) The only ground on which the Institution could pos sibly be called exclusive was, that the direction and management were to be in the hands of Israelites. He then spoke of the vast importance and interest of the study of Hebrew literature—a literature which governed opinion throughout the world, and the force, simplicity, and beauty of which were, according to Bishop Lowth, a Christian prelate, above competition. Jewish literature was, he remarked, the inseparable companion of civilisation. Long before they heard of the Henrys and the Edwards of English history, schoolboys were acquainted with their Joseph and their Moses; long before they heard of the glorious names of Waterloo and Trafalgar, they could describe the fight between David and the Philistine. After some further remarks in the same strain, he concluded by expressing a hope that the Institution would be the instrument of diffusing knowledge, virtue, and social happiness throughout their own body, and so ciety.in general. The conclusion of this oration was ;he signal for a general and prolonged burst of ap- plause. Mr. W. BALL then read an extract from his lecture on the Ancient English Ballads, particularly those referring to Robin Hood; and concluded by singing, accompanying himself on the piano, the celebrated ballad of " Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford," founded on the tradition of the woodland hero having feasted the Bishop on the King's venison, and afterwards made him pay 800 crowns for his cheer. The performance was highly humorous. A Lecture on Artificial Light, illustrated by ex periments, was then delivered by Mr. Jones, of the Adelaide Gallery. Other entertainments followed, extending to a late period of the evening. All of them were well received. If we can at all read physiognomy, the attendance was not confined to members of the Jewish persuasion, but included a considerable sprinkling of members of other communities, who had been attracted by the novelty and interest of the occasion. Several donations were announced in support of the institution. THE SUN, LONDON, TIT-SDAY MORN t JANUARY _2l, IS- LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, JAN. 20.—Wind at noon N. to N.W., strong breeze, and fine.

The Mayflower, from London to Hobart Town, was telegraphed going into Bahia, with loss of foremast, &c., by the Hindoo, arrived here. A boat from the schooner Cadiz packet, with the master, three men, and a passenger, was picked up off Fernando de Norouha, sth ult., and supplied with provisions, by the Hindoo, arrived here. On coming in sight of the vessel, in search of which the Ilindoo hauled up for the land, the boat left the Ilintloo. MUMBLES, JAN. 18.—Arrd. Alderman Pirie, Cuba. CLYDE, JAN. 17.—Wind S. W. 18.

Another adaptation from the French entitled Mon xeigneur was produced at this theatre last night. As the niece has been produced at other theatres in town, and the pint given at full, we will not now enter into a minute detail of it. Monseigneur is a person whom nature has endowed with el -ments that scorn patient industry. He never liked a calling that required uch labour, so he goes to Paris to make his fortune in the shortest time possible. Monseigneur has an instinct which tells him the best mode of arriving at that end, so he becomes—a clerk in a merchant's office ? No; nothing of the kind. He becomes a chevalier d' industrie, and if you believe the French reports, a very lucrative profession it must be in Paris. But Monseigneur is no picker of pockets; he scorns inferior things and flies only at the very highest game ; not that little things do not come into his pecket, hot Monseigneur, who is at the very top of his art, has emplaygg whom he leaves minor details to. He has got his cashier to dispose of his gains. They take their thousands hut he his tens of thousands. You will ask how he accomplishes all this? Nothing easier to a man of experience. He dresses in the first style, attends the opera, learns the secrets of others, transmutes himself into a thousand shapes, takes a thousand characters, and is at home in them all. Take an instance. A rich jeweller is sending home a casket of jewels of immense value, of which Monseigneur has information. He is taken, richly habited, in a sedan, where he knows he will meet the hearer of the precious articles. He is right, and he ewes out and tells the jeweller's apprentice that he ought to be afraid of Monseigneur's band, and puts a pistol in his hand, for the purpose of defending him self. Tie then calls watch, and says he has been at tacked by the apprentice, and that his rich jewels have been taken from him. The police, of course, know the value of fine clothes, and the apprentice is taken to prison, and Monseigneur marches off with the jewels. They find their way through a variety of hands, but are finally recovered for the apprentice by Monseigneur himself, who finds that the appren tice is his brother. Mr. Roberts performed the part of Monseigneur, which he maintained with consider able ability. The other parts were but indifferently sustained, b'st the piece was well received. Thy. WFATHER —ln the course of Sunday after noon the barometer suddenly fell from 29 . 5.5 to 29 being a fall of fully half an inch in a few hours, and towards eight o'clock in the evening the rain began to fall in torrents, with a strong south-east wind. It continued to fall the whole of the night, till about five in the morning, when the temperature became much lower, and there was a heavy fall of snow which covered the ground nearly an inch deep ; that soon disappeared, however, and the rain again com menced. DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF ST. GERMANS.—This venerable nobleman expired this (Sunday) morning, about one o'clock, at his seat Port Eliot, St. Germans, Cornwall, in the 78th year of his age. lie is succeeded by Lord Eliot, the Secretary for Ireland, whose elevation to the Peerage creates a vacancy in the representation of East Cornwall.-- De vonport Telegraph (Second Edition). PUBLIC RECORDS OF .AMERICA.—The Legislature of the State of New York have directed the trustees of the State Library belonging to that city, in consideration of a valuable acknowledgment from this country, to transmit annually to the Commissioners of Public Re cords here copies of the American session laws, &c. Nearly 200 volumes of these records of the United States arrived a few days since in a vessel from New York, ad dressed to " The'Commissioners of Public Records of Great Britain," and will be delivered to that department, in pursuance of directions from the proper authorities, without payment of the usual duties on foreign books, being for the public service. CAPT. TAYLER'S BREAKVATER.—It will be very satisfactory to our townsmen to learn that the sections of the breakwater moored off the town have nobly with stood the lase gales. The Messrs. Cheesman have at tended the hoisting of the light every night and are wel satisfied with the light-house, and hope, they say, to make it a long residence. They repo?* that during the gale the sea was rendered tranquil upwards of 500 yards within the breakwater, and that the strain on the moor. ings was scarcely felt. It seems, therefore, most pro bable that this economical plan will give safe anchorage round onr exposed coast and save many lives and much property.—Pt'sshfon Guardian. A MISTAKE.--On Sunday, about one o'clock, as a lady an I gentleman were walking along Rankillour street ( having just left St. Paul's church), and being closely followed by a boy and two men, the lady ima gined she saw the boy put his hand into the pocket of the gentleman's surtout, to whom she communicated her sus picions, who, on putting his hand into his pocket, found that his purse was gone. The gentleman immediately seized the boy. accusing him of the theft, which he de nied. On feeling the boy's pockets, and not fiading, it, hut seeing both the men, whom he justly supposed to be accomplices, walking swiftly away, he quitted the boy, and collaring the nearest, threatened to give him into custody unless he immediately restored the purse. The fellow at first denied the charge, but seeing it was likely to be ne j..ke, at last threw it into one of the common stair entries in Clerk street, and rushed down Gifford- Park ; while the gentleman, too glad to recover his pro perty at so easy a rate, was content to let the fellow thus eas ily off. It would have been an excellent capture, as tha purse contained, in paper and gold, nearly 20/. What greatly adds to the atrocity of the case is the fact of the thieves having been in the church.—Scotsman. NEW CHURCH IN CAMDEN-TOWN.—It is intended to erect a new church in the Camden town district of St. Pancras, the population of which is 16,000, with church accommodation for only 1,600. For this pnr pAse a plot of ground has been given, free of all costs, by the Marquis of Camden and the Rev. Thomas Randolph. In addition to this gift, the Marquis has subscribed 5001. towards the erection of the church, and the Rev. Thomas Randolph a like sum. Amongst the other contributors arc the Rev. Dr. Moore, Vicar of St. Pancras, Lord Cal thorpe, Captain Theaker, the Rev. Mr. Langdale, Col. Moore, See. The Bishop of London has signified his approval of the plan, and the works will commence so soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. A cast of the head of the lamented General Nott has been taken by Mr. J. D. Ft ancis, preparatory to a bust, which is understood to be in course of preparation. It is replete with character, and has given much satisfac tion.—Cambrian. HARBOUR OF REFUGE IN THE FORTH. At the meeting of the Society of Arts on Monday, Captain Bos wall, of Wardie, read a paper on har bours of refuge, pointing out the necessity of con structing one on the east coast of Scotland, in the Firth of Forth, or some other eligib l e situation. He referred to the vast number of shipwrecks an nually, and stated that, since Ist November last, 500 sail of vessels had been driven up the Firth by stress of weather. The works of the harbour, he thinks, should consist of three solid breakwaters of stone, from 7.5 to 100 feet in breadth at the base, rising a little above the high-water level, and perforated at the bottom with small arches. Two of the breakwaters should run out right seaward to the extent of a mile, and be united at their extremities by another two-thirds of a mile in length. They would inclose a space of 314 acres, which he proposes to divide into two harbours—the one next the shore for coasters and steamers, with 12 to 14 feet at low- water, the outer harbour with 28 to 30 feet. Each harbour to have an entrance 200 feet wide, but the two to communicate. A bat tery could be erected, if necessary, on the outer breakwater, for the protection of the shipping in time of war. The idea of introducing arches was sug gested to Capt. Boswell by an examination of ancient Roman moles in the Mediterranean. They are made small in order that the breakwater may not be unduly weakened, and their use is to scour the harbours by the action of the tide, and prevent the deposit of silt, which takes place in tranquil recesses of the sea. A wooden gangway or wharf, like the new pier at Leith, surmounts the break-water. The expense of the works is estimated at 600,0001., while the area and depth are equal to those of the projected harbours of refuge at Dover, which will cost 2,000,0001. The paper was illustrated by a large and beautiful model of the work, which excited general admiration.—Scotsman. HARRY LORREQIIER'S NEW WORK.—We are re quested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marl borough-street, has this day published a CHEAP EDITION of Mr. Lever's new work, " Arthur O'Leary," illustrated by George Cruikshank, printed uniformly with the author's other works, in one volume, Svo., price only 12s. hound, which can now be had of all booksellers. Mr. Colburn has also just published the following new novels: 2. Lady Cecilia Farrencourt, by Henry Milton, Esq., Author of " Strathern ; or, Life at Home and Abroad ; a Story of the Present Day. By the Coun tess of Blessington.-4. Hillingdon Hall, a Tale of Country Life. By the Author of " Handley Cross."- 5. The Palais Royal, an Historical Romance. By the Author of " Henri Quatre." NANTYGLO IRON WoßKs.—One of the largest sheet rolling machines in South Wales has been started at these works. The engine is on a peculiar principle, working expansively. Three sets of rolls are now in operation with shears, punching machines, and saws. Two more sets are to be got ready as soon as possible, and when they are " aiding and assisting," they will greatly increase the make of iron. This splendid me chanical instrument has been designed and erected under the immediate inspection of Crawshay Bailey, Esq. ; it acts admirably. When finished, the expense of the erec tion will not be less than 25,000 L—Cambrian. CLASS LAW-MAKING. — We need only give two short and simple instances to show how the landholders have made laws for themselves. A carrier pays assessed taxes, I Is. for his horse, and Bs. 9d. for his dog; but the farmer pays not one farthing for either his ride horse or dog. The carrier pays turnpike toll for conveying goods, but the farmer pays not one farthing toll for manure, draining-tiles, Bze., B,:c. This " class " law-making has been for the purpose of enabling the farmer (at the ex pense of others) the better to pay his rent. Landholders' tricks are now plainly seen, and they have, by those tricks, placed themselves in no enviable position.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 16.—The Chamber of Representatives, after hearing the analysis of several petitions, formed itself into a Secret Committee. Yesterday the King transacted business with the Minister of the Interior, and gave several audiences. The Secret Committee to-day was not so interesting as yesterday. Tho point under discussion was the same, and no new argument was produced either for or against the interpretation of the 19th article of the treaty. Pretty severe frosts, alternating regularly with mild weather, excites serious apprehensions for the crops, especially fur the rape seed. This accounts for the rise in the price of that article. BRUSSELS, JAN. 17.—The Chamber was engaged to day in the discussion of the project of law relative to the promulgation sod publication of the laws. The first article was adopted by a majority of 33 to 32. An amendment was proposed on the second article. The debate was adjourned till to-morrow. According to the returns for 1844, the number of births and deaths in the city of Brussels was— BIRTHS. Males 2,451 2 4 905 Females 2,454 DEATHS.

The mortal remains of the late Princess of Hohenzol lern lleckingen will have the funeral ceremony per formed in her residence according to the form of the Protestant Church, and then be conveyed to the estate of Lobischan, in Saxe Altonburg, belonging to her sister the Duchess of Accerinza, there to be deposited in the family vault. SERVIAN FRONTIERS, JAN. 2.—The investigations, in consequence of the late insurrection, are prosecuted with extreme rigour, as if it were resolved completely to exterminate the friends of the Obrenowitsch family. On the 23d of December Stojan Stojanowitsch, the last and principal support of the ex-Prince, and formerly secretary to the Prince Milosch, was shot near Schabaiz, in the presence of Mitroviz, after having first asked the favour to get drunk. His corpse was bound to the wheel on the bank. The ten or twelve bodies of the conspi rators fastened to the wheel all along the Servian bank, seemed intended to mock at the interest lately mani fested on the Austrian side for the family of Obre nowitsch. A report, which is merely an impotent threat, is spread by the Servians who appear on the Austrian frontier, that unless proper satisfaction is given, reprisals will be had recourse to. Though this threat signifies nothing, it indicates the feeling of the ruling party against Austria. We cannot penetrate into the secrets of Austrian policy, but everybody who has eyes clearly sees that Russia is more and more gaining power here. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VIENNA, JAN. 11. 5 per Cent.

Under the quaint title of " About Something," we have just seen a series of amusing caricatures, con tained in a small thin duodecimo volume, and pub lished by Messrs. Fores, of Piccadilly. The subjects are ver:• various in their character, and some of them are treated with humour, while others are handled in a very dull, common-place style. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

It appears that about half-past five o'clock, a launch, belonging to Mr. Macey, left the Commercial wharf, Old Victualling-office, Plymouth, to proceed up Catwater for the purpose of conveying one hun dred and twenty-three pads, containing about one hun dred mackerel each, on board the Royal William steam-packet, Captain Swainson, then on the point of starting for London. The launch was in charge of Joseph Navaro, Joseph Ponsford, John Cockrem, and another ; there were also on board Mr. J. H. Thorn, landlord of the Brunswick Inn, Ply mouth, part owner of the fish ; Thomas Gilpin, his assistant; and William Alcock Lafont, a young man going by the Royal William to Wool wich, to join her Majesty's steam-frigate Rattler, as purser's steward. When the launch reached the most exposed part of Catwater, the wind, which was blowing strong from the S.W., suddenly in creased, and the lee gunwale of the boat went under water. It was extremely dark, and those on board were unconscious of the fact that she was fast filling. During the time she took to heel over, they managed to get on the weather side, and on her turning, they secured themselves by the keel. Here they remained about half an hour, but as the pads of mackerel became disengaged, there was a chance of the boat righting, which made their situ ation more perilous than otherwise. In conse quence of this apprehension, Mr. Thorn, who was a very good swimmer, attempted to make for the shore, but being encumbered by his coat, he was no doubt speedily drowned. The cries of the people were at length heard by the crew of the Maltese barque Sarah, whose commander, Capt. Cafferero, sent a boat, which succeeded in picking them off, and conveyed them safely to Plymouth. The launch is calculated to carry ten tons dead weight ; the fish were about five tons. She, however, is rather sharp built, and being crank under canvas, it is feared she had too much sail for the kind of goods with which she was laden. A pumping engine is fixed amidships, the weight of which contributed to keep her bottom up. After the men left she righted, and drifting on the rocks beat two holes in her bottom. All the pads, except two, were washed ashore on the beach, and the fish are little damaged. Mr. Thor n was we ll k now n, he was about thirty-seven years of age, and for a length of time re sided in Cornwall-street, in this borough. He was a devoted and fearless fi s h erman ; an d a persevering, industrious, and highly respectable tradesman. He has left a widow and two children to lament their bereavement.—Devonport Telegraph. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A COAL-PIT.- - On Wednesday last, a fatal accident occurred to one of the workmen employed at the coal-mines, belonging to Mr. Fitzgerald, at Pendleton. It will be recollected that some time ago these mines were filled with water, in consequence of which the works were stopped. In November last, operations were commenced to dislodge the water, and workmen have been employed in the task ever since. Between nine and ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, two labourers, named Peter Boardman and Thos. Jones, were at work in the pit, at the depth of from eighty to ninety yards from the top, when, from some cause which is not known, Boardman fell through art aperture of eighteen inches in width, at the side of the scaffold on which he was standing, and was drowned in about two feet of water which covered another scaffold below. Just before he fell, the deceased had handed snail to his com panion, who was suspended in the noose of a rope two or three yards above the scaffold, and who immediately afterwards heard a rushing noise. He called to the de ceased, but received no answer, on which he gave a signal to the men at the top to lower him to the scaf fold, which was immediately done, and he there found the deceased's hat, but was not able to see him. He was shortly afterwards found immersed as above stated, and quite dead. On Friday Mr. Rutter, the county coroner, held an inquest on the body, at Pendlebury, when the above circumstances were stated in evidence ; but no reason could be assigned for the deceased's falling, un less he had done so in a fit, it appearing from the state ment of his mother, that he had been subject to fits. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. He was 30 years of age. and unmarried.—Manchester Guardian. MODE OF PREPARING FIRE-PROOF PAINT.— A quantity of the best quicklime is selected, and slacked with water in a covered vessel ; when the slacking is complete, water, or skimmed milk, or a mixture of both, is added to the lime, and mixed up with it to the con sistence of cream. When milk is not used, a solution of rice paste is employed, which may be obtained by boiling eight pounds of rice to every hundred gallons of paint. When the creamy liquor is prepared, alum, potash, and common salt are added, in the pro portion of twenty pounds of alum, fifteen pounds of potash, and a bushel of salt, to every hundred gallons of the paint. If the paint is to be white, six pounds of prepared plaster of Paris and the same quantity of fine white clay are added to the above pro portions of the other ingredients. All these ingredients being mingled, the mixture is strained through a fine sieve, and then ground in a colour-mill. When roofs are to be covered, or when crumbling brick walls are to be coated, fine white san d is mixed with the paint , in the proportion of one pound to ten g allons of paint ; this addition being o petrifying t d io i nbei r ng In applying thi s p a i n t, except in very warm wea ther, it is p re p ared in allot state; and in very cold wea ther p recautions are necess a r y to prevent it from freez in g . Three coats of this p aint are deemed in most cases sufficient. In anoth er variety m a de with i t quality. alivtir to giving the in gre di en t of this paint oil is the chief liquid ingredient. To pre pare it forty gallons of boiled linseed oil are mixed with slacked lime to the consistence of a paint; and to this are added two pounds of alum, one pound of potash, and eight pounds of common salt; or good wood-ashes may be substituted for the potash. This paint is used in the same manner as other paint; and any colour may be ob tained by adding the usual pigments to the composition. The above is the composition of a Mr. Louis Pambceuf, who first made it known in America.—The Builder.

TEE STATE OF PUNCII'S REVENUE.—Contempora neous with the official returns of last year's public re venue, Punch has been looking into his own, which is highly satisfactory. Without going into figures, we may announce a steady increase in the consumption of jokes ; which leads to the gratifying inference that persons who have hitherto been utterly destitute of fun have been able to enjoy the luxury. The reserved fund (of humour) which Punch has at command is promising for the year that has just commenced ; and on making up our books at the end of the twelvemonth, we trust the returns will be as satisfactory as usual.—Putich. THE GAME-LAWS. (From the Times.) In the worst confusions of action and debate there arise, every now and then, hold and clear-headed men, whose merit it i.. to marshal the sides, and show each what it is driving at. Through the misty twilight of half measures and undeveloFed views tticy reveal the final questions at issue. Such a man is the Hon. G. F. Berkeley, and such his function. When he writes a pamphlet on the game-laws, he knows ;shat he is talking about. lie sets before you v.hat you must have, or nothing. lle does not maintaintlie existing practice. That is absolutely indefensible — the ruin both of morals and of game. He gives it up entirely. The subject of his scientific admiration is a certain conceivable perfection of the sport, of which there are at present only a few splendid and encouraging examples. lle is an Englishman and a sportsman. His plan is to identify these characters, to make the Englishman a sportsman, and England a well-stocked manor, and her laws strictly and simply those of the chase. Some talk of corn, and some of cotton, and respectively stake the national welfare on the abundance of these se veral commo,lities. In that same sense, with even more of that totality of devotion, Mr. Berkeley is for game. A good head of game is prosperity. A favourable breeding time is a good harvest, and a brisk export trade as well. With plenty of hares and pheasants, what more can you possibly desire ? Without pledging ourselves to entire agreement, we are bound to add that he has a good deal to say for himself. But then the screw must be applied to every part of the present tax system ; and it is the writer s numerous bold and vivid illustrations of the game law screw which gives the practical character to his pamphlet. We will begin with the Crown. " The keeping and preservation of the Royal chase is now a farce, regarding it as a general system; whereas, if properly done by, in the New Forest, the Crown might always have it at its disposal to afford nearly as wild and beautiful a ground for the stalking of the stag and fallow buck, within an easy distance of London, as in any part of Scotland." The rangers are easy old drones : fellows " who don't pay one sixpence to the preservation of a head of game," get the run of the forest by a license which costs 51. the first year, and a sovereign annually thereafter; these " pot-hunters," without land or conscience, kill hen pheasants and gray hens ; " Londoners" turn out their horses and cows " on the open lawns and sweet interstices of turf by the sides of the little streams, on which almost alone should feed the deer. The amount has generally been upwards of a hundred head of cattle and horses to every eight or ten head of deer." " Demoralisation" exists to a great extent in the other royal forests. The Forest of Dean, particularly, knows neither the rewards nor the punishments of the chase. nere then is work cut out for the Prince Consort. If he has not yet read, or forgotten the un quiet sepulture, and fatal legacies of the Conqueror, he can complete or restore his great work. The mud larking capitalists of Lincolnshire are winning a " Victoria county" from the sea; why should we not balance with nature by giving back an Albert county to the forest ? From the Sovereign to the people. In Mr. Berke ley's magic mirror, every estate becomes a New Forest in miniature. Every parish he supposes to be blessed with at least the occasional presence of the manorial lord, the centre of his social system. Only provide game in every parish, and you are sure to have a resident gentleman, if not for the season, yet for an occasional battue. For two or three times, at the lowest estimate, half a dozen gentlemen, with servants to load their pieces, carts and sacks to carry their game, dogs of the best training, will descend, so to speak, from some higher sphere, some still more esoteric region of sport. The rural multitude will assemble to honour the forestian divinities. Then is held the court of gamekeepers and assistants ; then watchers report the haunts of the game, and the counter machinations of poachers. That reprobate race receives then its proper penalties and discouragements, and flies abashed from the light of day. The progress begins. Scores of beaters sur round the covers, guard the belts, clear the planta tions. Proud are they to minister in ever so humble a capacity ; proud as the little fag" is to " stop" for the sixth form cricketer ; though for the tedious hours all his sport is to smother the ball in a jacket, or re ceive the swifter ones on his face, or not less suscepti ble shins. What if the rustic underlings don't even see a single head of game, but only hear the volleys, and see the loaded carts return home ; yet this is enough for them. For this annual treat they will not disturb the hare on its form, or wire its track, or touch the pheasant roosting in the copse almost within reach of their hands. They will be content with their place in the system, and learn the deep morals of sport. Only, says Mr. Berkeley—only do the thing with a high hand. Make it everything. Make it your world—ay, your world to come. Reward and punish. If the labourer brings en egg, a leveret, or a young bird, let him see he has brought it to the best market. " A labourer in the harvest-field never marked a bird for me while shooting, but that I gave him in his hour of toil wherewith to slake his thirst. The farm ing men are an observant and thinking class; they soon discover that they can take an honest as well as a dishonest interest in the game, and become aware that that which keeps a resident gentleman among them, must be for their good." But pints of beer are only the first elements of the system. From these preliminary seductions, you must raise the poor la bourer up the golden road of actual promotion A labourer, with a large family, at Harrold, entered my service; he is now a head-keeper in Gloucestershire. From the little villages of Teffont and Chicksgrove and their vicinity, in Wiltshire, though I was at the Manor house but two years, I first employed, and then removed and promoted, no less than ten men; some of them, of course, with families; and when I first knew them they were earning a hard subsistence of from 6s. to 7s. a-week. I recur to this fact with heartfelt satisfaction; for I feel that in following my sports and pleasures I have not done so with a selfish desire that led to no one's benefit but my own; and, besides, it gives me an opportunity of proving that the game-laws are beneficial. In those two years of my residence at Teffont the two worst characters of the village, whose presence and habits corrupted others, were obliged to fly the country, and the fathers of several large families, with their sons, have been advanced from poverty to comparative affluence for, -their lives; and this solely and entirely arising under the laws for the preservation of game. " One of these men is the present head-keeper under Mr. Bailey, the Member for Worcester ; another, his father, was lately one of the head-keepers at Char borough-park ; another con is under keeper at Sir Edward Butler's near Southampton ; another son is under-keeper at Mr. Frogley's, in Surrey; and a fourth son is at present in my service. The head-keeper at Mr. Frogley's came from Teffont. The head-keeper at Holnest-house, in Dorsetshire, came from the vicinity of Teffont; and the head-keeper and the footman at present in my service came from the same place. " Now here is a practical result, and that, too, arising from very small means : let us proceed with it.. Here, in the vicinity of Beacon lodge, much the same circum• stances have been enacted over again, with this differ ence, that from the lamentable state of demoralisation to which I have before alluded, from the non- enforcement of the Game laws, in which I found the labouring po pulation; though my residence here has been about six years instead of two, the promotions I have been able to effect from this vicinity have been far less. Since I have been here I have placed out three men ; one of them is the head-keeper at Sir Edward Buller's, the other is one of the head-keepers at Berkeley Castle, and the other an under-keeper at Charborough Park." Here is indeed " a practical result." Virtue be comes its own reward. What other system can boast such certain advancement ? But if Mr. Berkeley can produce these " facts," these few facts, out of his own limited experience, what must follow if every country gentleman did the same ? " You cannot rob me of such facts as these," he exclaims in answer to speculative cavillers. What is the prospe rity of some must be the prosperity of all, as far as the system is carried. Here is the true path of England's greatness. There remain some few consi derations—minor ones in Mr. Berkeley's eyes—the subsidiary means and ways of the system—how it is to be carried out, and how the various parts of the social fabric must be brought to bear. BATHS AT CREWE.—The Grand Junction Com pany have erected baths near their works for the use of their workmen. We highly approve of this, as there is nothing so conducive to health and comfort as cleanliness of person. Nine-tenths of the diseases to which Eng lishmen are at present subject, " would take t heir win g s and fly away," if our countrymen would o n l y . e habituate a week. e themselves to general ablution at least t 'Vat c relit the far The Grand Junction Company deser ves having constructed the baths, which are g opp doors of their extensive workshops, and we have no doubt their intelligent workmen w themselves of the convenience. The proverb that osite pl a ces cleanliness next to godliness is a go od one, and would be very ap propriate over every entra nce to a t , ) hear that there are n Railway Chronicle. A NEW TRICK. —During one of the late fogs, a ge ntleman was passing down Lord-street at an ea r ly h our o f the evening , a nd was knocked a g ains t , no doubt de signedly, by a fellow who came rushing towards him, and whose hat fell off at the instant. The gentleman, supposing that the collision was pardy acciden tal, and occasioned by the extreme deu-,ity of the f og . begged the fellow's pardon for having been unable to get out of his way in sufficient time, and then kindly began to search about the footpath for his hat, which was nowhere discernable. " Ohl" said the fellow, in the coolest manner possible, after having waited a few moments, "it makes no matter ; this will do as well;" and immediately he seized the gentleman's hat, darted off through the thickest of the fog, and was wholly out of sight before he had gone six paces. The gentle man, after a dilig en t searc h, di scover ed the fellow's hat In the middle of the street, and found that it was a shocking bad" one, with a large hole in the crown, with the leaf shorn of half its original proportions, and worth, altogether, about twopence. The gentleman's hat, which had so taken its departure, was a new one, of the best description.—Liverpool Albion. . . DARING BUAGLARY NEAR. GLAS'fON. (From the Lincoln. Itiercury.) On Thursday night, the 9th instant, a daring bur glary was committed by five men in the dwelling-house of the R ev. G. Pochin, situate at the end of GI aston-lane, in Rutland, about a quarter of a mile from the village. It see:ns that the Rev. Gentleman, who is unmar ried and of retired and rather eccentric habits, resideid alone in a house in a lonely situation, a short distance from the turnpike-road, between Stamford and lip pci:::tha in. lie himself performed all the domestic offices, with the exception of such as he left for a charwoman, who attended him once a week. On the night in question he retired to his bed-room (which is en the ground floor), having previously fastened the doors, and placed a lig;:t by his bed-side. After some time, he was awakenen . by a noise, whirl he describes as being " as if the housk; was coining about his cars." The window and the frame ofof his apart" ment were de.nolished, the shutters flew open, and in an instant a man wearing a black mask jumped in, and secured him in bed. Two tall fellows, also in masks, promptly followed ; and with dreadful impre cations they swore they would murder him if he made the least alarm or resistance. The bed clothes were then pulled over his face And the man who first en tered held him down in the bed, whilst the other two ransacked the house. A fourth man stood outside the window, and repeatedly called out to know if all was right ; and a fifth, it is supposed, kept watch at the gate near the turnpike-road, from the foot narks traced by the police on the following morning. The thieves lighted a candle from Mr. Pochin's rushlight, and pro ceeded to break open the various drawers, and almost every lock in the house. On finding a pocket-bunk and examining the contents, they expressed themselves dissatisfied with the small amount of cash in it (about 1151.), and demanded of the Rev. Gentleman where he had deposited a thousand pounds, which they said they knew he had received a few days before. He denied having any such money in the house, and begged to be allowed to get up to show them where the property was. He was answered by the fellow who held him down, " Lie still, sir, or I'll cut your throat, you old villain." In the same pocket-book were several notes of hand, which the robbers, on discovering that they were of no value to them, threw on the floor. They next entered the parlour, and there broke open a sideboard, and untied and examined several parcels containing deeds and securities, which they threw about in all directions ; here, however, they discovered some gold, and also Mr. Pochin's silver plate, which they took away. They returned into Mr. Pochin's room, and asked for his gold watch and appendages ; and on receiving an answer that he had only a silver watch, they exclaimed, " We won't have that." Having completed their work of plunder, they helped themselves to seine brandy, and then proceeded ' to tie the Rev. Gentleman's legs and wrists with two pieces of rope; and on taking their departure, they swore that if he stirred hand or foot, or gave the least alarm, they would return and murder him, and burn down the house. As they were getting out of the window, Mr. Pochin said, "Are you going to leave me here, you villains, to be starved to death !" Upon which one of them answered, " .N o, sir, we will make you up another bed in another room with pleasure." On this they decamped ; and on Mr. Pochin's finding himself alone, he commenced gnawing the cord which: secured his wrists with his teeth, and having suc ceeded in unfastening it, he set his feet at liberty, instantly got up and dressed, and arming himself with a brace of pistols, proceeded to Glaston to arouse his neighbours and give information of the outrage. ENGLISH THEATRICALS AT THE TUILERIES. Their Majesties gave last night a grand theatrical re presentation at the Tuileries, the performances being Shakspeare's tragedy of Hamlet, by Mr. Macready and the English company, followed by the petit_• comedy of The Day after the Wedding. The beautiful theatre of the Palace was fitted up for the occasion, having been but two nights before used as a salon de danse at the grand Court ball. This brief interim had sufficed to restore the theatre to its original destination, and a more elegant and commodious construction for the purpose does not exist. 'The salle, which is composed of a parterre and two principal galleries, or rather two ranges of loges, with a circle of much smaller ones near the ceiling, ap pears capable of accommodating about six hundred spectators. The stage is sufficiently capacious for all the purposes of the drama, legitimate or illegiti mate, for its size and completeness in machinery, trap doors, and other accessories, so unlooked for in a thea tre of this description, render it suitable for every species of dramatic representation, from " gorgeous tragedy" down to the mere display of a ballet. It is unnecessary to say that, on this occasion, the auditory was a most splendid one ; it would, indeed, be difficult to imagine a more striking coup at once gorgeous and elegant, than that presented by the salle at a few minutes after eight o'clock. It was at this hour that their Majesties and the Princes and Princesses, Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, and other Cabinet Ministers, with all the great Officers of State and the household, had just taken their seats in the spacious gallery immediately op posite the stage, which was entirely occupied by the royal party. The side boxes had been previously filled by the various Ambassadors and Ministers from all the Courts of Europe, with their ladies, the leading Members of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies, and all the most distinguished foreigners at present residing in Paris. The gentlemen were nearly all in uniform or court costume, and the scene was literally dazzling from the brilliant display of diamonds, flowers, and jewellery made by the ladies present. The parterre was also glittering with uniforms, and the elegant dresses worn by les dames presented a wondrous contrast to the sombre appear ance of this part of the house at the public theatres in Paris, whence ladies are rigorously excluded. Of the performance of the tragedy we are not here called upon to speak, even if it were according to etiquette, having lately more than once described the representation at length. We may be permitted, however, to observe that though the play was somewhat abridged, the scene of the grave-diggers being wholly omitted, it seemed to lose nothing whatever of its interest by the curtailment, and the tragedy went off in the most satisfactory man nen Hamlet, who is here the " observed of all ob- ' servers," was never played by Macready with more spirit ' and power ; and Miss Faucit and the entire of the per formers acquitted themselves worthily on this remark able evening—remarkable to our minds, because we look upon this representation of Shakspeare's tragedy of ' Hamlet, by an English company in the ancient Palace of the Tuileries, on the invitation of the Monarch, as an event in the history of the two nations, which to have foretold a few years ago, would have set the pro phet down as the idlest of dreamers.—Galignanis Messenger. SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.—The other evening, as Mr. George Airey, butcher, of Fiddler Hall, was returning from his usual round of selling his meat towards his home, about a mile south of Newby bridge, and a short distance from the corn-mill at the foot of Windermere, his horse, from some unknown cause, leaped from the road into the river, a descent of more than three yards, without upsetting his covered cart. The river being swollen with the heavy rain of the last few days, the horse and cart were washed into the middle of the river. Here. Mr. Airey remained for nearly three hours, the horse contending against the stream, and though young and powerful it could not stem the torrent ' • nor was Mr. Airey able to make any one hear him, the noise of the water running over the weir preventing him being heard, and as it was about eight o'clock no one was passing at the time. Mr. A. how ever, being a man of regular habits, and not returning home at his usual time, his father proceeded towards Backbarrow, and got Mr. John Wren, carpenter, to accompany him. To their surprise they found Mr. Airey in the perilous situation above described, and at length, by assistance, they got him and the horse (the cart was left until the morning) on terra firma, neither of them having received any injury, except a few bruises, and being much benumbed with cold, a hard frost prevailing at the time. What is the surveyor about to suffer a public road like this to remain so long in so bad a state, without any protection to the traveller? At the place above-named the wall is nearly level with the road, and there are three openings. We hope the proper authorities will look after the matter.—Lancaster Guardian. IMPROVEMENT or TRADE.—We are glad to hear that, in consequence of the continued improvement in trade, the manufacturers of this city have again raised the wages paid for weaving. For work for which eleven pence was formerly paid, one shilling is now given ; and this is 3fd. more than was paid for the same work in 1842.

It appeared that the prisoner lately locked up a man for being drunk, and stole his watch ; be also took armlets, sticks, and handcuffs from the lock-up house and at a ball lately given at St. Helen's, he stole three silver spoons. The charge is brought home to the pri , soner in consequence of the activity of Mr. Superinten dent Storey, who found the articles above-named at his lodgings. The prisoner comes from London, and has been about three months in the force ; he is very re spectably connected, and brought with him most un exceptionable references as to character.—Liverpool Mercury. Our Correspondent " Vindex Legalist' whose second letter appears in our paper of this day, speaks of the " anticipated" decision of the legal advisers who have be en recently consulted by the authorities of Oxford, on the proposed new test and the proceedings against the Rev.

From a well-informed source . we learn that Mr. Bethel and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly; em i nent counsel referred to, have liven th s e t ir as d o e f e the proposed p against the legality as well of . the test object.
