THE LATE GALES, Winter has lately roused himself, As often he arouses, And scattered brick-bats to the winds, Stacks, chimney-pots, and houses. The wind, to quote Tom Dibdln's words, Has proved a blustering railer ; Many on shore have proved it so, And many a hapless sailor. I pitied those with shivering forms, And ruddy cheeks and noses, Who had not raised the wind to buy, An over-coat of Moses. The coats of Moses, well designed, And firmly put together, Are just the very things to suit Bitch boisterous windy weather. Since, therefore, Mardi is marching on, When winds again will bluster, March tor a coat to Moses' Mart, Where thousands daily muster. 'Tis clear we shall hare winter yet, And hence would I advise you, To try the Winter over-coats, Which Moses' Mart supplies you. The new book, entitled "The Minion of the Million," with full Orections fir itcli-measurement, can be had ou application, or for warded, cost free, to any part of the kingdom.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The weather has continued mild during the past week, but we are still without advice of the Elbe being opened, and arrivals are most insignificant of all articles. The trade has rather more of tone in it, and few. sellers at late low prices. There is more inquiry for old wheat, but as yet without much business resulting. There was a good supply of wheat from our own farmers foi this day's market, and the best samples brought about is more money than last week, with less disposition to sell. Rather more doing in foreign wheat at the turn in favour of the holder. Spring corn of each description remains much neglected. The linseed market remains inactive, owing to the deadness in oil, and low prices obtainable for cake. In rapeseed or cakes nothing doing. The tiillowing are the present prices of grain :- 5. a.

From foreign ports our supplies have been trifling. The exports in the saute time, with the excep • Lion of 5,47 quarters of Indian corn, do not merit notice. The trade has been extremely quiet, buyers and sellers evincing equal indifference to enter into business, and no mate rial change in the value of any article, except Indian corn, which has declined 6d per quarter, can he noted. The. weather continues stormy and unsettled. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, but though, after the more cheering accounts from Mark-lane, some improvement in the demand was anticipated, the Paine languor prevailed as we have had to note for some time past. Wheat and flour met with a very slow sale at late rates. Fine oats were in slightly better demand, but no dearer. Oatmeal was quite neglected. Barley, beans, and peas moved off in re tail at our quotations. Indian corn was in very moderate re quest, and tile best yellow could have been bought at 28s (id per quarter. LEEDS, FDA. P.—The arrival of wheat at our market to day is again very large, and there is a little more acti v ity i n the trade. In some instances a trifling advance on the prices of this day week has been obtained. Barley is dull sale at late rates. Oats and be;ans same as last week.

Majesty's Theatre will open in the first week of March. Arrangements and engagements are still pending of .the highest interest, but what has been already effected is of such nature and magnitude as to justify this preliminary announcement, in the con fident reliance of the general gratification it will occa sion. The direction of her Majesty's Theatre, most anxiously alive to the duty of maintaining its old e . established character as the greatest lyrical institution of Europe, had, in preparing for the present season, directed its most strenuous and unremitting exer tions to those points in which, owing to the unavoid able circumstances of the times,the greatest deficiency has shown itself in all, and particularly in Italia:, • lyrical theatres: The monotony arising from the eon stantrepetition ofthe same works, and from the absence , 3 / 4 of new compositions of sufficient pretensions, has been hitherto the most constant and insuperable subject of . regret. It is, therefore, w ith unqua lified s a ti s f ac ti on announced that this great desideratum has been ac complished most triumphantly and beyond all previ ous hope, not only by the revival of neglected works •% of the first master s , un d er t h e most nove l an d propi tious circumstances, but by the composition of operas % of the highest possible promise, totally new, and to be • produced for the first time this season. The names of the principal operas, and the order in which they will be produced, will be the following : The short season before Easter will begin with the performance of Mayer's celebrated and highly drama tic opera Medea, of which that celebrated prima donna, and universal and much respected favourite of ,% the public, Madame • Pasta, whose"triumphs in this , 41 part are on indelible record, will eome over purposely to watch the wise en scene for the re-appearance of her great pupil Mdlle. Parodi (to whom her lyrical mantle has so justly devolved.) The next opera performed before Easter will be one never as yet produced in i!if England, La Prigione di Edimburgo, founded on!Sir Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian. This remark able work is the chef d'oeuvre of Ricci, the author of Scaramuccia, Chiara di Rosenberg, and so many other 1% successful operas composed in the purest and highest classical t as t e , an d p e rformed with th e most unquali % s fled success in Italy, France, and Germany. It is ta with unalloyed satisfaction announced that this emi ,% nen t composer will visit London to place his opera upon 13.4 the stage, and conduct it for the first night. After - Easter, the subscribers to her Majesty's Theatre will be gratified by the production of works of still • greater promise and magnitude. Among the first to be produced will be the noble composition of that en chanting composer M. Auber, a totally new production 1734 4 % of hi s un i versa ll y recogn ised genius, an opera ser i a, 17 entitled l'Enfant Prodigue, and about to be produced ' at the Academie de Musique. A distinguished poet, contemporaneously has connteM. Gianone, has written an Italian libretto almo s t thelis visit French England t M he . A , productio n o f thi s opera. Immediately afterwards, to contrast with this work, and as affording a singu se w d ith to larly suitable and felicitous part for the rentrie of that great publi c f avo urite, Signor Lablache, an opera buffa will be produced which has never been enacted in England, but which has for years been known to % all professed dilettanti, and which has enjoyed in Ger many the highest possible success, entitled 11 Burgo ntestre di Saardam. The libretto of this opera is taken from the well-known and favourite French vaudeville. An invitation has been addressed to the celebrated author of this opera, Herr Lortzing, and hopes are Ice entertained that he will come to London and direct the production of this work upon the stage of her Ma jesty's Theatre. Another work of the greatest mag -4 nitude, and of immense expectations, written by a composer of the highest and noblest poetical inspire -114 tion, whose operas are now as triumphantly performed in every country as in his own, and whose smaller works have lately experienced an enthusiastic recep tion in England, will be among the new pro - ductions. M. llalevy is engaged in writing an too opera expressly adapted to the troupe and the stage of her Majesty's Theatre. The dramatic portion is written by the most successful dramatist of the age, M. Scribe, and the Italian version by a distinguished poet, M. Gianone. The subject and the ruling thoughts, the dramatic situations as far as lyrical exigencies would allow, are taken from a poem which has been the subject of the deepest admiration for successive ages, The Tempest of Shakspere, which its immortal author palpably allied to a lyrical intention, and which has always been produced, in England, partly in a lyrical form. This new open+, La Tempesta, in which M. Hal6vy has drank deep of the inspiration of our great countryman, and io dited his strains with more than wonted enthusiasm, will be produced in May, 11. Scribe and M. Halevy being engaged to come purposely to London for the occasion. The opera will be mounted with the ut most research and new effects, in harmony with its fairy-like conception. Of the power with which it will be cast a sufficient idea may be formed, when it is known that Madame Sontag will be the heroine, ' and Signor Lablache, Caliban. Another pleasing novelty as regards the Italian stage , which will be produced during the sneer), is 11 Domino Nero,. the Italian version of M. Auber's most popular and universally-admired comic opera Le Damao )Voir. Is consequence of its immense success when lately executed in Paris by some of the principal artistes of her Majesty's Theatre, it is in contemplation to pro duce the chef d'avre of that great classic master, Gluck, the admiration of all real dilettanti, and en titled Ifigenia in Aulide. As many of the best works of the old repertoire as time and circum stances will admit, will be repeated. Other operas will be produced, such as are adapted to display the gifts of a number of artistes of established reputation, added to the troupe, and of new and most promising young artistes hie engaged this season. The great prima donna, Ma dame Sontag, will not only re-appear in her former most successful impersonations, but likewise in Don Giovanni, in' Lucia, Puritani, Elisir d' Amore, and Don Pasquale, whilst, if time should allow, those g -negl ec t e d operas of Rossini, II atilda Shabran, will be revii'ed. i c •iv o o n u te ri o te ri an an d d l A o i n It is with real and deep gratification that the direc tion of her Majesty's Theatre has found that such is the credit and confidence in its intentions, produced by the experience of its past efforts and general con duct, that shortly after the close of the theatre, and inquiry as t o th e programme o f th e pre sent season, new su b scr i bers have presented them ss ithout any selves, amongst those distinguished personages who enjoy most justly universal respect. The direction ventures respectfully to hope that this anticipated view of the programme of the present season will prove that the utmost exertions have been made to merit the confidence so kindly accorded to the estab 'ishment.

The Homeopathic principle of infinitesimal doses in all cases of weakness and nervous ness, is no doubt the right one, as nature is not then overpowered, but assisted. The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its utmost extent, as some of the most strengthening articles in the Materia Medics are contained in it, and a small portion being gradually abwrbed every day, not only strengthens the gums, but the whole system.

A new five ac t p l ay under the.tit l e o f R e t r ib u ti on , was produced here on Monday night, with unequivocal success. The author is Mr. George Bennett, the tra gedian. The playi s by no means free from the con ventionalities o f t h e modern stage , b u t th e y are never thrust prominently forward, and are always made subservient to the chief points of interest, and al though the incidents are complicated, and there is too frequent a reference to antecedents, yet the plot is extremely interesting. Retribution is a tale o f th e " Cavaliers and Roundhoad , ." The principal character is Sir Baldwin Briarly (Mr. George Bennett), a villain and a Roundhead, and his great enemy is Ralph de Lacy, a cavalier who has assumed the name of Blackbourn (Mr. Phelps). De Lacy was formerly the owner of large estates, and Sir Baldwin B r i ar l y to poss ess hi mse lf o f them, excites the cava li er to jealou s y o f his wife's honour, a n d saupspereicotdthhaatvinths jealousygi arrivedw is well founded, D e Lacyhen there is som e cause to destroys his wife and at the same time her brother, whom he has been taught by Baldwin to believe is her paramour. After this deed, De Lacy flies the country, leaving the author of his misfortune to continue his career of villany. Baldwin then con trives a d ee p sc h eme to bring about a marri age be tween his only son, a youth some seventeen year s ' and repre- of age, and Ali ce Ruby (Miss Glyn), the dau g ht er s o e f n t S s i t tro hßoberte unsuspecting taken R a p b l y a e ( Mi girl the improve men t w hi c h has recently n r h s .fYorotuunnegse. Alice, how ever) has been taught to regard Edwin (son to Bald win) only in the light of a brother, and s h e h as pledged her love to Philip, a foundling w h om h er father has fostered. At this juncture De Lacy, or Blackbourn, as he appears in the play, having been many years absent in foreign parts, returns, and his chief object is to seek out his ruthless betrayer and avenge his wife's death. He is now disguised as a trooper, and his conduct exercises so powerful an in fluence over the mind of Baldwin that he orders him to be chained in a dungeon attached to his castle. Whilst he is thus confined a scene takes place between Blackbourn and Baldwin which leads to the discovery that the former is the possessor of certain important documents in which the interests of the latter are most deeply involved. Blackbourn is then liberated, and in the course of events he avows himself as the injured De Lacy, who has been driven from home as the murderer of his own wife. Baldwin is still determined to make Alice Ruby his daughter-in law, and in ordar to effect this object he causes Sir Robert Raby to be imprisoned upon a charge of having threatened mischief to the king. He _more over concocts a tale that Philip is the brother of Alice, and he assures her that the only means of restoring the happiness of her home, of preserving her honour, and saving the life of his son (who has been stricken down by grief and disappointment) would be to becon his daughter-in-law. At the moment he imagine. that his proudest wish is likely to be fulfilled Blackbourn again appears, and through the instru mentality of the documents already mentioned, dis closes the machinations of Baldwin, who falls speech less ; his son is removed from the chapel where the wedding was to have taken place, and Blackbourn avows himself as the long-veiled De Lacy and the father of Philip. This is the author's tale of " Retri bution " worked out to its climax, Considerable power is shown in the development of the two character', Baldwin and Blackbourn, and their various phases are most artistically discriminated. Baldwin is a part by no means new to the stage, but the objects of his ambition are displayed with so much origi nality and dramatic effect as to give the character the charm of novelty. Mr. George Bennett's Baldwin was a powerful piece of acting. Mr. Phelps played Blackbourn with a rugged manliness, which, as op posed to the cowardice of his betrayer, won .for him a large share of applause. At the end of the third act his performance was so powerful that Mr. Phelps was compelled to appear before the curtain at the close of the scene. Miss Glyn played with much feeling and energy. The other characters were very well filled. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. An inquest was held at the Fox and Hounds public-house, before Mr. Carter, the coroner, and a highly respectable fury, on Wednesday last, upon the body of John Burley, who met his death in the manner detailed below, on Monday last. The first witness called was Elizabeth Burley, the widow of the deceased. She appeared to be sutferiog severe mental affliction from the loss she had sustained. Upon being sworn she stated :—The deceased was my hu.le n l , he was gardener to Mr. Teulon, of Tenchley Park, Limpsfield. O❑ Monday morning we left home to visit our daughter, who had been very seriously ill, i London. When we got to Croydon, we let% the horse and cart at the Swan and Sugar Loaf, and pro ceeded on to London by railway. Upon our return in the afternoon we took the train at London-bridge. It was the quarter before five o'clock Epsom express train. We entered the last carriag►e which was a second-class one. The train stopped at Forest Hill, and other stations on the op posite side of the carriage where we sat. We arrived at Croydon, but were not aware that we had done so. Just as we were arriving at the station, I asked where we were ? and deceased said he thought it could not be Croydon. I was sitting by his side whin we arrived at the station, but by some sudden impulse I then moved opposite to him. The train was by this time in motion again. Deceased looked out, and said, "it is Croydon Station ;" he jumped up, and putting his head out of the window on my right side, he said somothing, but I could not catch what it.was, when the door suddenly opened and he disappeared. I just caught a glimpse of him when a train passed by. I was taken on to Car shalton, and then returned to Croydon, where I first found out what had occurred. In answer to questions from the jury, the witness said her husband had travelled by railway three or four times before, but she was not aware whether he knew of the ex tension of the line to Epsom. The side of the car riage he went from was on his left side, so that he would fall on the up line of rails. Witness could not say whether the door was fastened, but she was cer tain that no one got out on that side. Deceased was perfectly sober. Mr. James Bryant, a gentleman residing at Sutton, said he came from London in the same carriage with the deceased. The train stopped at Croydon, and several persons got out of the carriage. I noticed the last witness and two men were sitting at the other end of the carriage, and heard the word "Croydon" mentioned. The moment this was uttered I saw one of the men rise and look out of the window on my left side. (I was sit ting with my back to the engine). The door opened immediately, and he went out. Ido not know whe ther the door wasfastened, but he leant out of the win dow (in my opinion) as if to open the door. To the jury —I heard the usual call at the station of " Croydon. The train stopped there a minute and a half, or two minutes. I think the deceased got up under a sudden impulse to get out, and that the accident did not occur from any carlessness on the part of the railway company. After other evidence the room was cleared, and the jury returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death," without imputing blame to any party. Mr. Russell attended to watch the proceedings at the request of Mr. Teulon, who informed our reporter that the unfortunate deceased had been in the service of himself and his father for 23 years, and was an excellent and quiet man, that he had left a family consisting of nine children, eight of them under the age of 14 years. It was mentioned that a subscription would be set on foot for the family, the Rev. Mr. Stewart, Rector of Limpsfield, having kindly consented to receive such contributions. We have been informed the coroner and jury very liberally subscribed 1/. lls. 6d. before they separated, and one of the jury collected a fur ther sum at the Greyhound Inn the same evening.— Surrey Standard, Feb ..l COURT CIRCULAR.

In the week ending last Saturday, the deaths regis tered in the metropolitan districts were 957, a number which exhibits a considerable decrease on the returns of the last two months, December and January, during which the deaths were usually above 1,050, and in one week were 1,156. The result is also favourable as compared with the average, corrected for increase of po pulation, of corresponding weeks in ten previous years, 1840-1, which is 1,144, showing a decrease of 187. The sudden decline in the mortality from diseases of the respiratory organs is remarkable; bronchitis, pneumo nia, and asthma have numbered in the last thre e weeks successively 237, 234, and 165 deaths; the average for last week, derived from returns of the same week in ten years, is 187, or, if corrected for population, 204. But the deaths from phthisis (or consumption) have scarcely varied; they have been in the last three weeks 128. 137, and 135 respectively; the average of last week fur this disease is 155. The deaths enumerated in the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases were 152; the cor rected average is 245. Small-pox was fatal last week to 8 children, scarlatina to 11, hooping•cough to 36, measles to 18—all of these epidemics being under the average, and the first two being much less fatal than usual. Disrrhces was fatal in 20 cases: in the corresponding weeks of ten years the deaths from it have ranged from 3 to 32, and show a decided tendency to increase in late'. years. No deaths occurred in the week from cholera. From typhus there were 27, a comparatively light mortality from this cause. From influenza there %ere 2 deaths, from erysipelas to, from cancer 17 deaths. of which all except three occurred to women; and 9 women died after childbirth. In 2 persons fatal disease is stated to have been the result of intemperance. The death of a woman of 47 years, which occurred in January, was accelerated by "destitution and exposure to extreme cold." She had been previously removed to Bethnal-green workhouse. The mean height of the barometer in the week at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was 29.457 he The mean temperature was 44 dug., showing an excess of 10.7 deg. on the average of the same week of seven years. It was higher than the average throughout tee week. Ort Sunday the mean temperature was 12 deg. ahoy, the average, anti on Friday and Saturday 14 deg. above it. INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, IVANSTEAD.--AH elec tion has taken place at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, of 50 additional children into the institution —Mr. Benjamin Cabbell, M.P., in the chair. The names of the successful candidates were declared, and the meet ingbroke TII.kIIES NAVIGATIAN.—It bus been found, since the establishment of railways, that the lock tolls on the river Thames have fallen off to a very considerable ex tent. The Commissioners of the Thames Navigation have just announced that they consider it " expedient, as the best means of retaining and augmenting the trade, to reduce the old lock dues and the Commissioners' tolls, upon the navigation, 20 per cent, from the first day of April next." An adjourned general meeting of the Commissioners is immediately to be held, at which the proposition is to be brought forward. It will be neces sary, however, before the contemplated reduction can take place, that the bondholders and others holding se curities upon the tolls, should concur in the proposed reduction, and also in the reduction of the interest up()n their respective securities, for should the tolls be reduced 20 per cent, it will be necessary, as a matter of course.' that the interest upon the bonds and securities should Lc correspondingly reduced. The bondholders have been summoned to attend the meeting c f the Commissioners, in order that their sentiments and feelings may be clearly ascertained on the subject.

The former was taken, in the first place, to a public institution, and the symptoms were attributed by his friends to a fall ; but on the day of his death the other fact was communicated, and a post-mortem examination proved that he had been p o i s o L ei.

LONDON AND NORTII- WESTERN RAILWAY.— HONESTY REWARDED.—It appears the number of ar ticles returned by the sixty-seven cabs employed at the Euston-square station, for the past year, is 381, consist ing chiefly of carpet-bags, w rappers, coat, umbrellas, sod money. Of the articles 115 were claimed by the owners ; the remaincle: has been depo s it e d a t t h e Ex cise-offce, according to law. The tinance-committee of the London and North-Western Company have given. " as a,mark of the directors' approval of their conduct," a gratuity to twelve cf the men who returned money paid to them in mistake. " I cannot refrain from again calling attention to the present state of Church-lane, Carrier-street, and the ad jacent courts, which are densely populated, and inha bited principally by poor Irish people, may of whom are in a starving condition, while the malaria arising from their offensive streets and houses, for want of sewers, drains, water, and ventilation, is productive of disease. Scarcely a weak elapses throughout the year that a death is nut registered in Church lane, and I have this week (when the deaths in the metropolfs are below the average) to record three---one at No. 2, a second at No. 3, and a third at No. 8. This cannot be wondered at when we find things allowed to continue as formerly. From want of privies, the night-soil and decayed vege tables are strewed from one end of the lane to the other till removed by the street orderlies; and so long as this is permitted you cannot fail to have disease amongst the inhabitants, who are sunk in the lowest depths of misery. I should have expected that something would have re sulted from the publicity given to the report of the Sta tistical Society of London when they visited this horrid and most filthy locality." - FREE TRADE IN WATEE.—A gratuitous lecture, the first of a series, was delivered on Saturday evening, by Mr. J. Aclaud, in the largo ccncert-room of the Princess's Theatre, on "the character and of of the existing water monopoly," which was respectably at tended, there being, a greater portion of the time, up wards of upwards of 600 persons in the room. The lecturer expressed his firm conviction that this great metropolis would eventually be principally supplied, by means of the Artesian system, with pure water from the chalk formation, which substrates, to a considerable ex tent, what is called the London basin. SALMON FISUINGS.—We are glad to be able to re port an almost unprecedenteily successful opening of the season, both on I)ee and Don. At the various sta tions of the former river upwards of 1,000 fine fish have been taken. Twenty-five were taken out of a bag net, at the mouth of the Dee, on the opening day. Gen tlemen who prefer catching their own fish have also found profitable employment. On the Ness, the Spey, and other northern rivers, the season, notwithstanding the heavy floods, has commenced propitiously, and the Montrose Review records the take in that quarter as being a fair average.—Aberdeen Herald. CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE BY A COMPOSITOR. —Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. Bedford, at the St. George's Hospital, Hyde-park Cor ner, on view of the body of John Walker, aged 44, a compositor, who committed self-destruction under the following very determined circumstances:—The evidence proved that the deceased was employed for many years at the establishment of the United Service Gazette, and he had also worked upon several of the morning papers. He had lately been employed by Schultz and Co., the foreign printers, in Poland-street, Oxford-street, Oxford -street, and on last Saturday week f h .ote receivedmperate Me t ssrs t: notice of dismissal, in consequenfce lasto week he habits. On the beginning of Mr. Walker, a surgeon, in purchased a shilling's-worth of la o uda in num s a il t ve th r- e st s r h ee o r p , of destroying Golden-square, for the . , Pu from him by himself, but it was taken away Mr. d t o h n e . 5 t r l o a e n t, d o r i d e g e o n f the An t street, tree at and Crown, whosend Crown, e i t n o e bed oel q o u o i k t e o s a o b t h e or ofollowingnight - day house he lodged. lasza and about morning he was found in bed bleeding profusely from several wounds in his throat, which he had inflicted with a razor discovered lying by hi s side. The deceased was quite sensible, and said to Mr. Davis, that " he was ashamed to look him in the face, but he was compelled to do it, as he had b een i n great agony all the week." The deceased was speedily placed in a cab, and on being removed inside the hospital be was found to be quite dead. Mr. Francis, the house surgeon, said the wounds in the deceased's throat were not sufficient to cause death, and from the appear ance of the stomach and the intestines, he was of opinion that the deceased had taken some corrosive poison which had caused death. The jury then adjourned the inquiry for the purpose of having the contents of the deceased's stomach analysed. RAILWAY SHAKE MARKETS.

The ball was got up on a magnificent scale. Dancing commenced shortly after ten o'clock, and quadrilles, polkas, and waltzes were kept up with great spirit until an early hour of the morning to the delightful music of 011ivier's excellent band. There was a profusion of refreshments, and the general arrangements were admirable. 'lt is seldom that we have passed so pleasant an evening as at the ball of ,he Societe Franfaise de Bienfaisance. TRUE CAUSE of DELAY in FINISHING THE NEW HOUSE of COACMOIVS. Members who introduced the " tittering" and "'much laughter" of Monday night, and shrugg e d th e i r shoulders to express their belief that under the Present dirpction they never would get into their new quarter!, surely cannot know the real facts of the case. They c&ntiot be aware that the fault is their own, and solely. .their .own; they can scarcely appreciate the injury they are doing the contractor, and the loss which will ultimately fall on the public. Not very long ago the Government spent at least 20,000 L in the erection of workshops at Thames bank, with provision of gas, water, and costly machinery, to admit of greater rapidity in the progress of the works: the machinery is silent, the shops empty, the expenditure lying waste, and here the contractor has no less than fourteen thousand pounds' worth of materials, titaber and deals, wainscot, &c., purchased through the necessity of providing seasoned stuff for what 'was anticipated to go on, and which have been lying there and spoiling for four years. At this time, perhaps, he could buy them 20 per cent. cheaper , than be did then, to say noth ing of the interest of money on the amount laid by. Quarries were leased, horses and plant bought, and other :mea lsary steps taken to carry on the work as it ought to be done. The loss caused by the delay may be estimated. His establishment is of course partly broken up, and what is greatly to be deplored, a large number of skilled workmen. educated to what was required, are dispersed north and south. Looked at every way, the results of the course which has been pursued are seen to be bad. and we would very seriously urge on the attention of Government, the importance of doing differently in' fu ture and proceeding vigorously with this great work: employment is wanted, loss is caused by delay—nothi ng can be gained by it ; enormous rents are being paid which might be saved, and the dignity of the country Is in a degree compromised. Let a fund be raised for the purpose, to be paid off by annual grants for, say, twenty years, or provide the money in any other way, and there will then be little further opportunity, we ven ture to assert, for " much laughter," when the progress of the new Houses is referred to.—Builder. DIAMOND DUST. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) A fool is of service to a wise man, but Icarus nothing 7rom him. Physic for the most part is nothing else but the sub• stitute of exercise or temperance. The regard we show economy is like that R e show an old aunt, who is to leave us something at last. Nothing moves the masses mere than the exhibition of deep feeling. It speaks a language which the very humblest can understand, and challenges a response which not even the most callous are disposed to withhold. Youth, enthusiasm, and affection, resemble three days of spring ti me; l et ns not, therefore, complain of their short duration, but endeavour to enjoy them. Blame not before you examine the truth: understand first, and then rebuke. HOLYHEAD, FEB. 9.—Last Friday night, at half past ten o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out in the house and shop of Jones and Evans, drapers, Market street, which threatened destruction to the whole 'urea, but the wind fortunately being moderate, it was kept down, through the exertions of the inhabitants and with the assistance of two fire-engines from her Majesty's dockyard, which were on the spot soon after the fire was discovered, by order of Commander Fraser, the superintendent. The shop goods are all destroyed, aid very little of the furniture has been saved. The family bad a narrow escape for their lives. ROYAL LONDON OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.—On Monday the annual general meeting of this charity was held at the Hospital, Blom6eld-►treet, Moorfields—the Rev. John Russell, D.D., presiding. From the medical report it appeared that the total number of out-patieete for the year 1849 was 8,418; being an increase over the preceding year of 36. Those received into the hospital amounted to 268—making the number of in and out patients 8,686. The financial sheet showed the receipts to have been on the whole 1,539/.; of which 2651. re sulted from dividends, and 1,2731. from donations and subscriptions. The sum invested in various securities was 8,379 L The report was adopted, the name of Sir John Poland added to the committee for the year en suing, auditors elected, and thanks voted to the medical staff, after which the meeting broke up. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYAIAN.--AS the Rev. John Lowe, rector of Ardley, Oxon, was proceed ing on horseback between that !Arica and the neighbour iug village of Middleton, the horse, a young spirited ` animal, became very restive, and commenced rearing and plunging furiously. Mr. Lowe, who is somewhat ad vanced in years,:twatu of the imminent danger he was placed in, endeavoured to retain his seat as much as pos sible, but at length the animal reared and fell back to the ground. Tho reverend gentleman was thrown with considerable violence, and sustained internal injuries of a serious character from the animal falling upon him. When the occurrence took place, being some distance from any dwelling, some titre elapsed before he could obtain the requisite assistance to convey him home. Not the slighteat hopes were held out of his recovery. The sad event has cast a gloom over the whole of the parish, from the estimation in which the reverend gentleman is held. Mr. Lowe has held the living of Ardley for a pe riod of 35 years, having been presented to it in 181 b by the Duke of Marlborough .—Bucks Paper. MUSICAL GOSSIP.—The death of the popular singer Alizard, from a disease of the heart, has caused a great sensation at Paris. Alizard succeeded Lcvasseur as principal bass at the Academie Royale do Musique. Ile had one of the finest voices ever heard. Carlotta Grisi gave a series of performances the week before last at the Bristol Theatre. From Bristol the beautiful and accomplished danseuse was, we believe, bound for Dublin.

The following is an extract from the last letter of the series :—" The unjustly-paid and unjustly-treated working man must, however, not wholly blame the masters for the privations which he and his family have to endure.

It has been privately seen by not a few Irish anti quaries, who are of opinion that it is of the workmanship of that country, and the Duke has kindly consented to its exhibition at the Society of Antiquaries in London, on an early occasion, in order to ascertain the decision of that learned body as to its precise age, and the part of the world where it was made. It seems clear that it did not come originally from Italy. Mrs. BleaLlay, before committal to Armagh gaol, where she was escorted in her own phaeton, on the coro ner's verdict, for the murder of her husband, deposited a will in the hands her solicitor, Mr. J.

This applies both to fine yarns and the lighter cloths, as well as to the coarser makes. Some large concerns, which produce low counts of yarn, have gone on to short time, or stopped altogether; and the consumption of cotton, now advanced to such a perilous price by unsound speculations, is, to a very great extent, reduced. It is evident a consider able reaction in :pri ces i s f as t approaching. Printing cloth rvtains its position, or nearly so, whilst madapol lams have lowered from lid. to 3d. per piece. 40 and 45 inch shirtings are very difficult to sell, and prices have dropped fully 3d. per piece. Long cloths, T cloths, and domestics are very quiet, and prices have a tendency downwards. who 58 61 the ved Dyed be, ►nil old th e 1 vl 6. i nu A gybe [n en bet' orn ar c• tbi! lof I , ig li. vi 1: 00 CO /1. ig
