RE PORT of the DIRECTORS to the EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING of the MEMBERS, held at the Office on the 15th of December,' 1843. CHARLES LUSHINGTON in the Chair. It is with feelings of no ordinarY gratificition that the Di rectors rend er to the *Member s o f th e NATION AL PROVI DENT INSTITUTION, this, their Eighth Annual Report, of its proceedings. Each periodical review of the progress of the Institution has afforded a b undant evidence of its growing prosperity, whilst the statement which the Directors are enabled to publish on the Present occasion, exhibits a result far exceeding their most san guine expectations. jßefore proceeding to a summary of the business of the year ust terminated, the Directors would 'advert to the notice con tained in their last Report; that in accordance with the 28th Rule, the accountsof the Institution were then under the inves tigation of an eminent Actuary, for the purpose of making a careful valuation of its existing liabilities and assets, in order to declare a dividend out of the surplus which might from such valuation appear to exist. That investigation was completed in January last (by Charles Ansell,'E,q., F. R. S., the Actu- Vary referred to), and the Directors have now to congratulate ie - Members o f t h e I nStitution on the great success which as attended i ts operation?, by effecting a large reduction in the premiums payable, or by securing correspondingly large additions to the sums assured on Life Policies; notwithstand ing ONE FIFTH of the-actual profits declared to be divisible among the Members: has been reserved, and, a reduction equal to 4 5 per cent, from the premiums of - those Members who have been assured the full term of Seven Years, and at certain ages, has been secured to them. ' The number of Policies issued during the past year has been 70 3, nearly all of which are of that Class securing a sum of move payable at death. The number of proposals declined during the same period is 81• repTohrteedanunbein uali g ncome of the Institution, which was last year 3 9,360/. 9s. 7d., wouh.l have been increased to the relatively large r sum of 47,934/. 4 s . 3d. ; b u t o f thi s amount, 3 ,714/. 7s. 34. h as b een al l owe d or d e d ucte d f rom the annual hettianual pre m i um of those Members who have elected to their Premiums reduced in lieu of the Bonus added to their policies.

The Directors have also to inform the Members, that in ac cordance With the notice given in the la s t R e p or t, th e business of the I nst i tution was removed to their Freehold premisesin the Sprin g of this year; of the eligibility of the situation and the !superior facilities the premises afford fur carrying on its busi real' they have already had satisfactory proof. That portion of !La building not occupied by the Institution is let to highly re- Pectable tenants, at a rental which leaves the rent-charge to tne Institution at an extremely moderate sum. From the preceding statements it will be observed that the pamasotuyarnetof business has bee n very much increased during the ; an increase that may chiefly be attributed to the advantages secured to this Institution, by being enrolled under the Act s o f P arliament relating to FRIENDLY SOCIETIES, as also to the growing disposition on the part of the public to effect Assurances in an Office where the surplus profit is di vided, not among Shareholders, but among the ASSURERS THEMSELVES. carr o the PRINCIPLE of MUTUAL ASSURANCE , as Tied the out by thi s I nst i tution, the Directors earnestly invite atte n tion of the Members and the public at large, as also to i n v estigate for th emse l ves the re l at i ve cla i ms f or pre f erence of he various Life Offices, and they rest confident that none will be found to combine greater advantages, or that can justly ay clai m to a larger share of public confidence.

London, Jan. 1, 1844. JOSEPH MARSH, Secretary. T RE PAST, the PRESENT, and the FUTURE. (A NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS.) The year has cles'd, with all its changeful scenes—. And, lo! another era intervenes ; The year has clos'd upon a busy world, And a fresh page of life has time unfurl'd. The chiming bells, with intermingling hum, Procl a i m aloud—" Another year is come 1" The year i s clos'd, and we embrace the time To greet the public with a votive rhyme. For while with exultation we review " The Past, the Present, and the Future," too, We feel a debt of gratitude is ow'd For valued favours plenteously bestow'd. Unbounded patronage has crown'd our trade, And warmest thanks will be best duly paid. Oft on his road the trav'ler glances back, To mark his progress o'er the beaten track : Thus we examine with observant eye The advances of another "ear gone by ; And glad we find, on looking at the past, Our glorious hopes have not been overcast: When last we hail'd the dawn of" New Year's Day," We talk'd of patronage in bright display. And have we now to tell of favours less ? Na !—still we triumph in increas'd success ; Success in all our trading plans is found, And like a halo does our name surround. Success attends us through the distant land, Nor here alone but where the seas expand. Success in east and West, and north and south, Is loudly sounded with a trumpet's mouth. Success abundant we have seen appear Ranh day, each week, each month throughout the year ; Favours in seasons " past" our efforts bless, And the bright " present" yields success ! success 1 Think not we use exaggerated terms— Fact, glorious fact, their utmost truth confirms. Language less strong could ne'er suffice to show The vast success that crowns our fam'd depot. Nay, strong as are our statements, we confess They are not equal to our proud success ; And hence we have a duty to discharge— A duty called for by the world at large ; Nor would we far an instant be remiss In executing Bach a task as this. With warm acknowledgements at once we thank All gen'rous patrons (whatsoe'er their rank). Thank s many thanks I warm, hearty, and sincere, For mighty favours in the by-gone year, For patronage by which we are display'd Upon the topmost pinnacle of t ra d e Thanks for the spreading fame which thousarids sing, And all that the returning seasons bring Nor will we make return in thanks alone, For patronage so liberally shown. When last we heard the New Year's bells resound, 'We promised much—nor have we left our ground; Each season new exertions have reveal d To merit what a lib'ral public yield. Again we p rom i se, as we promis'd then, Nor shall our practice contradict our pen, Though mighty e ff orts signali se d th e " past " The " present" year shall far excel the last, And " future" seasons to the world shall show Our 'gratitude for what your hands bestovr. Mark what we promise I We have much in store, And offer to the public more and more. Betwixt ourselves and patrons there shall be A mutual zeal —an equal rivalry I Reductions and improvements shall be seen, Far more extensive than have ever been, Nought shabe left —no to shall be untu 'Wherein th e public good s may ne be concerned.rn'd, Our celebrated Mart shall still display The choicest fashions for the rich and gay ; While such as move in less important scenes shall find good clothing suited to their means. ev'ry point our honse shall be display'd The most astounding mart throughout the trade. Can we do more than this, our thanks to show, Or give a greater compensation ? No. T ill this be done, we ne'er shall be at r es t ; But wh en we've done it, shall have done our best— And with renewed exertion, such as this, A smiling public will not be remiss. We feel assured, that if we try to please Our gi n' rous patrons with such acts as these, That proud success will cr own us more t h an ever, pa l: r the ard for each And still-with ew exultation we shall view ; "present," an d the " future," too !

TI ES.—The prospects of the new year, aitt'aough - ..0t un -clouded, are is-fair as those disclosed by any of its• 4 tiumediate predecessors: We begin the year in peace with eve.ry State of Europe; we are at peace with America; and we hiave every reason for hoping thrt'the part' a' war in India will soon be brought to a happy termioatwan. Fut the peace whierh we en joy is net a hollow, treacherous peace, merely awaiting some diplomatic pret e xt, st . me rei.tape so phistry, or some oppor tune weakness, to be changed into open war. Our , relations with all the Powers of Europe are those not only of trtanquillity but of amity. Not only is there no apparent cause cif war to alarm our suspicions, but there is no desire of war manifested by the Sovereign or the citizens of any foreign State. - The- - President of the United States joins with the Kir.g of the French in the expression of an eat nest wish to perpetuate the' present harmony with Great Britain. The Ashburton treaty has adjusted one awkward subject of dispute ; and we will do the -American people the justice to believe that they are not anxious to find another in the indefinite boundaries of the Oregon territory. France is no longer isolated; even the rabid fierceness of the violent journalists against • the ambition, the falsehood, and the cunning of perfidious Al bion, has growled itself into silence. 'The people of the two _ countries reciprocate those kindly feelings which tin it Sow• reigns have expressed to each other on their behalf. So tone h - for our foreign affairs. At home the prospect is less cheerful ;- still it is far from disheartening. If, indeed, we look to those - outward signs of prosperity which attract the superficial eye, and satisfy the unreflecting mind, there is much to inspire both hope and gratitude. A revenue now progressively increasing trade reviving to a degree at this season of the year almOst - un- • exampled—commercial speculation assuming a bolder and freer tone in the great marts of the north—all these are signs of returning wealth and eircu'ating capital. To many they are signs of returning prosperity. May they prove so ! But let us not forget, that while merchants and traders are investing their money more freely and more hopefully—while the national Treasury is becoming richer—while cotton-spinners are designing new mills, and contracting far fresh labour, to meet the demands for expected markets—let us not forget that those whose toil is tasked to enlarge • the power of wealth and multiply the enjoyments of luxury are themselves the victims of indigence and destitution. Let us ' not forget the revealed condition of the labourers in some of our agricultural counties ; let u, not forget the wretchedness of our London poor ; and let us not blind ourselves to the poverty and misery which has already been shown to exist in our manu facturing districts, and which will assuredly spring up in a frightful and fearful multiplicity, if, on every occasion or tempo rary prosperity, labour is crowded into new factories, only to be turned adrift without emiloyment as soon as the market is glutted. In considering our domestic position, Ireland cannot be overlooked. And yet what czn we say of 'a country whose evils are as undeniable as the remedies for them are various and contradictory? To say that .Ireland offers no difficulties, or even no dangers, were absurd. Still we do not believe the dangers to be nearly so great as is imagined. The Govern ment acted most foolishly in delaying to suppress the Repeal meetings. Their tardiness gave the semblance of earnestness to an agitation essentially hollow, false, and hypocritical. It drove the timid to join the cause from cowardice, and the hypocritical to persevere in it for the reputation of consistency. Had they interfered earlier they would have conferred a great boon on the Repeal gentry of Ireland, but a much greater en the loyal and quiet Protestants. Now that they have evinced a resolution to put down the agitation, barked as they are by the popu!ar feeling of the empire, and having only a simulated zeal for nationality to contend against, they must succeed. But when they have succeeded—when sedition is crushed, and anti.Saxonism has perished—then come the labour and the difficulty of governing her in the spirit of justice, moderation, firmness, and kindness—of correcting her social evils, and en couraging her natural advantages. Yes : there is a great work for Parliament and the Ministry to do. To conciliate the affections of the Irish without conniving at faction, or playing the fatal and Whiggish game of corruption—to give earnest and diligent heed to the condition-of-England question—to resist the strong effects of selfishness, whether in classes or parties, agriculturists or manufacturers, and to correct the present unnatural distribution of the means of subsistence— these are the duties and the labours which the new year offers to those who have the courage and the heart to undertake them; and which, undertaken with good heart and honest purpose, will repay the country and its representatives, if not with entire success, at least with the blessing which never yet was denied to pod men working in a good cause. HERALD.—The Morning Herald having lately changed its proprietors and managers, we deem it right, at the com mencement of the present year, to announce to our readers the principles upon which the paper will henceforth be conducted. They will not essentially differ from those which have been. espoused by the Herald for some time past, viz. the principles of moderate Conservatism in Church and state. Deeply at tached to the doctrines of the Anglican Church, as contained. in her Articles and her Litargy, and as expounded by the great body of her Divines from the time of Hooker to the present day, we are unfavourable to those extreme High Church views, which seem to approximate too nearly to the errors and super stitions of Romanism. Though we respect the private cha racter, and the motives, of many who are eminent among the Tractariass party, we think that their zeal has outrun their discretion; We are anxious that the benefits of educe- tion should be extended as widely as possible ; but we think there can be no beneficial education of which religion is not the basis. If national schools are to be established, as we ardently hope they will be, upon any com prehensive plan, they ought to be conducted upon the princi ples of the Established Church, and under the guidance of her ministers. To uphold the laws w hich secure private property is a duty not more imperative, and not more arduous, than wisely to administer those ehich p:otcct the rights and inte rests of the poor. The statute of Elizabeth established a sys tem of poor laws, under which England has reared up a more industrious and efficient population of labourers, and risen to a higher degree of prosperity, than any country in the world. That abuses had crept into the administration of these laws, which rendered souse amendment desirable, we do not deny. At the same time, when a system is introduced, which, in stead of recognising the right of the unhappy pauper to relief, treats him as an intruder upon society, if not as a criminal, we are disposed to look with doubt upon its wisdom, and to watch his administration with the utmost jealousy. The adjustment of the corn-laws upon the modified sliding-scale of Sir 11. Peel, is an experiment, to which we think that a fair trial should be given. We deprecate frequent and hasty changes in financial matters ; but most strongly do we condom. that restless agitation whis.h tends to disturb the public mind, create paid:: in the commercial world, and destroy all confidence in the security of the law. While we desire to afford an adequate protection to the agriculturist, we are not unmindful of that large and important manufacturing class, for whose real good so little has been done by those who grow rich by their labours, while they make the loudest outcries about their distress. The laws which concern the relation between workmen and their employers, the wages, time of la. bour, health, morals, and general condition of our mechanics, are subjects to which we slatl from time to time invite the public attention. At this moment, the state of Ireland presents the greatest difficulties to the British statesman. Our opinion is, that the people of that country. disorganised and demoralised, partly by a lt.ng c )111: nuance of poverty and ignorance, but in great measure also by the agency of reckless and designing demagogues, require to be ruled with a firm and vigorous hand. That the union with Great Britain must be maintained at all hazards, we, in common with most Englishmen, firmly believe. But we also think, that for this, as well as for other purposes, it is indispensable Fo uphold the Irish Protestant Church With the progress of the reformed religion is asso ciated, not only all the glory and ha{ piness of our own kingdom, but everything which is great in the his tory of man ; and that it will ultimately work its way, for glory and for good, in Ireland, we entertain no doubt. That, however, which Ireland more immediately re quires, is the introduction of salutary economical measures, a sound system of educat ion, and a strong and discreet administration of the law. On the subject of law reform, we think that a good syS• tern of local courts, such as may give cheap and speedy justice to the humble suitor, is most desirable. We are averse to any crude and h.tsty legislation on such matters; but are anxious that some uniform plan, in accordance with the established principles of our law, but extending its practical benefits, may be introduced. With regard to our foreign relations, we need hardly say, that the maintenance of peace, consistently with the national honour, ought to be the primary object of our rulers. For this purpose, we think that all interference with the in ternal affairs of foreign lotions ' unless forced upon us by themselves, ought. to be especially avoided. To preserve, but not to extend, the boundaries of our empire; to give due protection to our colonies; to enforce, as far as lies in our power, the existing laws for the suppression of the slave trade ; to propagate the Christian re ligion in the East, and other parts of the world where our power and influence extend ; to enlarge our commerce by friendly negotiation, but at the same time to keep in view that reciprocity of advantages without which no commercial treaty can be long maintained—these are the general features of that policy which we approve. Such are our views upon those topics which appear to occupy most of the public attention at she present time. They are, we are convinced, the opinions which are entertained by the great mass of the intelligent and reflecting people of this country. Confiding in the honest in tentions of the present Government—knowing the difficulties in which they ate placed—and believing they are disposed, in ' the main, to carry out the line of policy advocated by us, it is our intention, as far as lies in otir power, te , give them a steady but independent support. IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, I)Ec. 29.—Although more than a fortnight has yet to elapse before the commencement of term, the note of active preparation for the forthcoming State trials has been already sounded, and the t,ublic interest in the result, which hall begun to nag during the vaca tion, increases in proportion as the all important 15th of January draws near. Yesterday notices were served on the traversers to the effect that, in pursuance of the mo tion of Mr. Smyly, of counsel for the Crown, the special jury will be nominated at 12 o'clock on Wednesday next, when the High Sheriff of the city and the Under-Sheriff are to attend, and to brillg with them the jurors' book and the special jurors' list, signed by the Sheriff (or his deputy, and all the numbers written, according to the: Act of Parliament, on distinct pieces of parchment or card. At the sitting of the Recorder's Court this day, Mr: Close applied to his Lordship to order that the clerks of the peace should furnish Mr. Pierce Mahony, as agent for the traversers, with a copy of the special jurors' list as returned by his Lordship to the High Sheriff. The RECORDER stated that the officers of the Court had applied to him for advice on the subject that morn , ing, and having carefully read the Act of Parliament, he was unable to find any clause authorising him to emply with the application made ; but as a matter of conveni ence for those concerned on both sides in the approach ing trials, which were matter of notoriety, he would advise them, if the Crown Solicitor and Mr. Mahony concurred together in an application, that each party should be contemporaneously furnished with a copy. At a subsequent period -)1 the afternoon an applica,-- tion was made at the Sheriff's-office for a copy of t he list,: the Recorder having stated that the only copy fur nished by him was that given to the High Sheri f t ; The Sub-Sheriff, however, was unable to give any ir,f orm ation upon the subject beyond relrring the applic A nts to the high Sheriff, whose answer has not yet been made public. SIIOCKING CASE.—On Friday last :1 Ai extraordinary accident occurred at. Bromliam Britt e. whereby a farmer residing at Stagsden, of the name of . ..r. , :aberry, came to his death. It appears that he ha' . ..l b e en to Bedford , drinking freely, and at half-past, ; ;; .x l e f t t h e Bell inn, and mounted his mare to retur,t b ome. Tho mare was blind, and it is supposed that, the deceased was too fresh to guide her, the consequence was that she stumbled over the parapet wall (which ;_s very low) and fell into the river. On Saturday morr.,ing a man named Harrison was going to his work, and 'saw the mare in the meadows below with a bridle and sv,ddlo on. By the river . Le saw a hat, and this excited so - sne sus p icions, and upon". looking into the river he saw e. man lying at the bo 4 ,, tere . H e procured assistance, snd recovered the body,which ha then found to be spat of Mr. John Leaber -4.— Cam bridg Cfronicle. / z ---- • ?BE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time .

INCENDIARISM.—On Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, it was discover.ed that a barn filled with valuable grain was on fire, belonging to Mr. Slack, relieving officer of the poor-law union, at Bishop's Cleeve, which there can bo no doubt was the work of an incendiary. On the alarm being given, the engine of the Place= Company, under the direction of Mr. Goodchild, started with the utmost promptitude; the town engine followed immediately after, whilst the parish engine of Cleeve had previously been brought to play on the burning mass. The stillness of the night aided in confining the flames to the barn, which was entirely destroyed. About twelve months since a haystack belonging to Mr. Slack was burnt in the same manner.—Cheltenham Examiner. DEPTFORD CASE.—We have every reason to be lieve that the case of the boy at Deptford was a genuine and beautiful case, though, simply from not having wit nessed it, we will not take upon us to assert there was clairvoyance ; and we have heard from Dr. Elliotson, that he did not see it, but only gave instructions upon a case laid before him. The boy never was in any danger. We have seen a letter from Mr. Smith, jun., who mes merised him, to Dr. Elliotson, written. the day after Christmas-day, in which it is stated, not only that the boy is perfectly well, but " much imyroved in health, and is exceedingly cheerful. Mesmerism has done wonders for him." Mr. Smith adds, "We have had the boy mesmerised twice by Mr. Vernon in the presence of the medical men of the neighbourhood. Mr. Hope (the surgeon who ventured to publish in the papers that the whole thing was a hoax) made an arrangement to meet them to-day (26th instant,) and cowarelike, was afraid to come and stand the test.—The Zoist.

Donizetti's Grand Tragic Opera of Lucrezia Borgia was produced at this theatre on Saturday evening, with all that completeness and attention to the business of scene for which the management of the Princess's is celebrated. The story 'of this opera must be already familiar to every playgoer. It has been frequently represented at the Italian Opera, and adaptations from Victor Hugo's tragedy, from which the libretto of the opera is taken, have been brought out at most of the minor theatres. The following is the cast at the Princess's :—Don Alfonso (Mr. Bur dini), Genarro (Mr. Allen), Maffie Orsini (Mr. H. P. Grattan), and Lucrezia Borgia (Madame Eugenia Garcia). The opening scene of the night festival in the gardens of the Palace of Barberigo, at Venice, was exceedingly beautiful. The stage was filled with maskers attired in various magnificent costumes—in the distance was a beautiful moonlight view of Venice, while in the foreground gondolas were seen passing and repassing. The name of Lucrezia is ut tered by one of the revellers, and all are terror-struck at the name of the death-bringing beauty. The ro mance, " Hear me relate my story," was beautifully given by Mrs. Grattan. The sound of music is heard from the palace, and all enter it, except Genarro, who overcome with fatigue, sleeps upon one of the benches in the garden; a gondola arrives, and Lucrezia lands from it; she wears her mask; turning, she perceives Genarro ; she approaches him, and implores the bles sing of Heaven upon the sleeping youth, and, in the beautiful air, " In my breast what strange emotion," gives expression to her feelings of love for Ge narro, and of horror at the detestation, in which, on account of her crimes, she is held by all the world. She leans over him fondly. Her husband, the Duke, who has been watching, appears at the back of the scene, and vows vengeance on Genarro. She again approaches the sleeper, and kisses him on the fore head. He starts up and detains her, and in the im passioned air, " Pray, be content," declares his love for her. She listens to him enraptured. He tells her he came to seek a mother whom he knew not, yet who had watched over him with the most anxious care ; whose letters he treasured up and wept over. She is affected to tears by his story, and bids him love that mother ever. The revellers enter and in terrupt them. They beset her. She begs Genarro to save her; but when he finds she is the Borgia, he spurns her from him with horror. The scene of the se cond act is laid at Ferrara; we are in the great square, before the great palace, which bears on its portico the arms and name of Borgia. The Duke and his atten dant enter ; and in the cavatina, " Tremble, e'en now the tempest is gathering closely round thee," the Duke declares that the morrow's sun shall be the last that shall shine on Genarro. This cavatina was carefully and effectively given by Burdini, who was much and deservedly applauded. The Duke and his attendant retire, and Genarro and his companions enter. He loudly expresses his hatred of Lucrezia, and, with his sword, he erases the letter from the name above the family arms, leaving the word " orgia." They fly, alarmed at what may be the consequences of this bitter jest, and Genarro retires to his house. The scene changes to the Duke's palace. Lucrezia demands vengeance against those who have insulted her. The Duke promises that the culprit shall die, and orders the prisoner to be brought in. To her horror Lucrezia perceives Genarro. Her lofty spirit is humbled to the dust—she frames ex cuses for him. Genarro was not guilty of this wrong. He boldly avows that the deed was his, and his alone. She prays the Duke to spare him—she kneels to him in vain—the Duke taunts her with her love for him, and gives her choice of whether he shall die by poison or the sword. In this scene we have the duet, " Tremble no more, I pray," which was_ finely and expressively given by Madame Garcia and Burdini. She chooses the poison. The Duke announces to Genarro that lie is pardoned, and asks him to drain a friendly cup, which the Duchess her self will present to him ; and then follows the ex quisite trio, " Ah, dare not to save him !" which was beautifully given by Madame Garcia, Allen, and Burdini, and rapturously encored. He drinks the poison, and the Duke leaves them. Then comes the finale, "Through veins cold hemlock juice is creep ing," admirably given by Allen and Madame Garcia. She implores him to swallow the antidote which she presents to him. He refuses, believing that she would fain poison him. She conjures him, in the name of his mother, to believe her—he takes the antidote—she shows a secret passage from the palace, and implores him to leave I errara without delay. The acting of Garcia throughout the whole of this very trying scene was beyond all praise. It was evident that she was suffering dreadfully from nervousness, but her very apprehensions imparted a degree of impassioned reality to her acting which carried her triumphantly through, and she has added another laurel to her wreath by her Lucrezia Borgia. In the opening of the third act we have the beautiful air, " The light of love," which was given by Allen in the most exquisitely tasteful manner ; nothing could exceed the pathos and tender ness which he infused into this delightful air—he was encored as a matter of course, and repeated it with, if possible, greater feeling. Then came the ban quet scene with Orsini's spirited ballad, " What though she wh.qm you love may deceive you." This ballad, which is exactly suited to Mrs. Grattan's voice, w as rapturously encored. Lucrezia enters — she has revenged herself for the ball at Venice, by the supper at Ferrara. The revellers are all poisoned, and the doleful chaunt of the priests, who are in attendance to shrive them, are heard without. To her horror she perceives Genarro among the guests. She orders all to retire, and is left alone with him. She implores him to take the antidote—he refuses un less there is srufficent to save his friends also. Ile draws his dagger, and rushes on her, reproaching her with her crimes. " Hold, rash one," she cries, "it is thy own blood that thou would'st shed." Horror struck at finding that he too is a Borgia, the dagger drops from his hand. She implores him, for his mo ther's sake, to drink the antidote. Ile asks his mother's name. "My remorse, my fright," exclaims the agonized Lucrezia "do they not tell her name ?" Staggering from the effects of the poison s he falls, and in his dying moments discovers that he is the son of Lucrezia Borgia. The Duke enters with his attendants, and taunts her with her love for Genarro. "Ile .is my son—dead—dead—before my eyes," exclaims the agonized Lucrezia as she throws herself on the life less body of her victim. Madame Garcia, Allen, Mrs. Grattan, and Burdini, were all called for, and rezeived with the lotOest applause, bouquets and wreaths being showered on the ladies; and Walton announced the opera for repetition four times a week, amidst the unanimous applause of one of the most crowded houses of the season. The choruses were admirably given, thanks to the excellent drilling of Mr. W. L. Phillips; and the orchestra, directed by Schirra , and led by Loder, did full justice to the music. The Marriage Certificate followed, in which the Keeleys kept the house in a roar. The evening's amusement concluded with the splendid spectacle of the Magic Mirror, with Mrs. Grattan as the Prince , Paul Bed ford as the Premier, and pretty Miss Floyd as the Princess. HOOD'S MAGAZINE. This day is published, price 2s. 6d., If_TOOD'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND A s A, COMIC MISCELLANY. Whatever may be thought of Dr. Dickson's theory, that the type of Disease in general is periodical, there can be no doubt of its applicability to Modern Literature, which is essentially Periodical, whether the type be long primer, brevier, or bour geois. It appears, moreover, by the rapid consumption of Monthlies, compared with the decline of the Annuals, that fre quent fits of publication are more prevalent and popular than yearly paroxysms. Under these circumstances, no apology is necessary for the present undertaking; but stem, which exacts an Overture to a new Opera. and a Prologue to a new Play, requires a few words of Jared - cation to a new Monthly Magazine. On eprominent object, then, of the projected publication, as implied by the sub-title of " Comic Miscellany," will be the supply of harmless " Mirth for the Million," and light thoughts, to a Public sorely oppressed—if its word be worth a rush, or its complaints of an ounce weight—by hard times, heavy taxes, and those " eating cares" which attend on the securing of food for the day, as well as a provision for the future. For the relief of such afflicted classes, the Editor, assisted by able Humourists, will dispense a series of papers and woodcuts, which it is hoped will cheer the gloom of Willow Walk, and the loneliness of Wilderness Row—sweeten the bitterness of Camomile Street, and Wormwood Street—smooth the ruffled temper of Cress Street, and enable even Crooked Lane to unbend itself. It is hardly necessary to promise that this end will be pursued with out raising a Maiden Blush, much less a Damask, in the nur sery grounds of modesty—or trespassing, by wanton person alities, on the parks and lawns of Private Life. In a word, it will aim at being merry and wise, instead of merry and tnerwise. For the Sedate, there will be papers of a becoming gravity ; and the lover of Poetry will be supplied with numbers in each Number. As to Politics, the reader of HOOD'S MAGAZINE will vainly search in its pages for a Panacea for Agricultural Dis tress, or a Grand Catholicon for Irish Agitation ; he will use lessly seek to know whether we ought to depend for our bread the a c t r n e n a t quarterforeign° Repeal of days. tfha farmers, rnesicohn•ervti: mustor n u e l d r foreign Ter minus of Reform, nor] even whether a Finality Alan means Campbell's Last Min, or an Undertaker. A total abstinence from such stimulating topics and fer mented questions is, indeed, insured by the established charac ter of the Editor, and his notorious aversion to party spirit. To borrow his own words, from a letter to the Proprietors—" I am no politician, and far from instructed on those topics which, to parody a common phrase, no gentleman's newspaper should be without. Thus, for any knowledge of mine, the Irish Pro secutions may be for pirating the Irish Melodies ; the Pennsyl vanians may have repudiated their wives; Duff Green may be a place, like Goose Green ; Prince Polignac a dahlia or a car nation, and the Duc de Bordeaux a tulip. The Spanish affairs I could never master, even with a Pronouncing Dictionary at my elbow ; it would puzzle me to say whether Queen Isabella's majority is er is not equal to Sir Robert Peel's; or if the shelling the Barcelonese was done with bombs and mortars, or the nutcrackers. Prim may be a quaker, and the whole Civil War about the Seville Oranges. Nay, even on domestic matters 'nearer home, my profound political ignorance leaves me in doubt on questions concerning which the newsmen's boys and printers' devils have formed very decided opinions ; for example, whether the Corn law League ought to extend beyond three miles from Mark lane—or the Sliding Scale should regulate the charges at the Glaciarium ; what share the Welch Whigs have had in the Welch Riots, and how far the Ryots in India were excited by the slaughter of the Brahmin Bull. On all such public sub jects I em less aq fait than that Publicise the Potboy, at the public-house, with the insolvent sign, The Hog in the Pound." Polemics will be excluded with the same rigour ; and espe cially the Tractarian Schism. The reader et HOOD'S MAGAZINE must not hope, therefore, to be told whether an old Protestant Church ought to be plastered with Roman Cement ; or, if a design for a new one should be washed in with Newman's colours. And most egregiously will he be dis appointed should he look for Controversial Theology in our Poet's Corner. He might as well expect to see Queens of Sheba, and divided babies from wearing Solomon's Spectacles ! For the rest, a critical eye will be kept on our current Lite rature—a regretful one on the Drama, and a kind one for the Fine Arts, from whose Artesian Well there will be an occa sional drawing. Wi h this brief, explanatory Announcement, HOOD'S MAGAZINE and COMIC MISCELLANY is left to re. commend itself by its own merits to those enlightened judges, the Reviewers; and to that impartial jury—too vast to pack in any case—the British Public. *,„,'" Office, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, where all Orders, Advertisements, and Communications for the Editor, are re quested to be addressed.

'We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers in this neighbourhood. " DEAR Sug,—l have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, so that I could scarcely cat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able to lie down for nine months; having had the advice of several medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try pA .r S but having tried so many natpnt medicines, I thought I might as welt tun," my money away. I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast: wasting away with a violent pain in my head; at last my friend got me a box from yeur shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am now happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful.

For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in my head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agree-able perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indiffer',nt to me. I have had the advice of several surgeons and w‘edical men, both in this town and others, but without 'the least benefit, and I had dispaired of ever agair, r e ga ining my health, in fact my life was becomiv'g burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the tr.any cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the venole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slialatest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged and grateiul servant, " HENRY NASH.
