Her 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 established character as the greatest lyrical institution of Europe, ha-, 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 Italian lyrical theatres. The monotony arising from the con stant repetition of the same works, and from the absence of new compositions of sufficient pretensions, has been hitherto the most constant and insuperable subject of regret. It le i therefore, w ith unqu alified satbf e ctio n 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 masters, under the most novel and propi tious circumstances, but by the composition of operas of the highest possible promise, totally new, and to be produced for the fir s t ti me t hi s 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 part are on indelible record, will some over purposely to watch the miss en shine 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 is yet produced in England, La Prigione rli Edimburgo, founded on!Sir Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian. This remark able work is the chef dceuvre of Ricci, the author of Scaramuccia, Chiara di Rosenberg, and so many other successful operas composed in the purest and highest classical taste, and performed with the most unquali fied success in Italy, France, and G - ermany. It is with unalloyed satisfaction announced that this emi nent composer will visit London to place his opera upon 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 of his universally recognised genius, an opera seria, entitled rEnfant Prodigue, and about to be produced at the Academie de Musique. A distinguished poet, M. Gianone, has written an Italian libretto almost contemporaneously with the French version. M. Auber has consented to visit England during the production of this opera. Immediately afterwards, to contrast with this work, and as affording a singu larly suitable and felicitous part for the rentrie of that greatbuffa willbe public p f r a ud vo u tt e ri e t d e favourite, Signor bas Lablache, ben an enacted opera 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 nsestre 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 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 nitude, and of immense expectations, written by a composer of the highest and noblest poetical inspira 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. Halivy is engaged in writing an 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 fir 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 opera, La Tempesta, in which 11f..11alevy has drank deep of the inspiration of our great countryman, and in dited his strains with more than wonted enthusiasm, will be produced in May, M. 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, When. Another pleasing novelty as regards the Italian stage, which will be produced during the season, is 11 Domino Nero, the Italian version of M. Auber's most popular and universally-admired comic opera Le Domino Noir. Ia 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 ninny of the best works of the old repertoire as time and circum stances will admit, will be repeated. Other operas w ill 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 lilie engaged this season. The great prima donna, Ma dame most s S u o c c n e t s e s g iu l w p n e o r s t n o a n t l i y u u r e e- , a b p u p t e ar i likewise n her iu former Don Giovanni, in Lucia, Puritani, Elisir d'Amore, and Don Pasquale, whilst, if time should allow, those f,vourite and long -neglected operas of Rossini, 11 Conte Ori and Matilda di Shabran, will be revived. It is with real and deep gratification that the direc tion of Theatre has found that such is the credit r e di her t au ls d lajy's confidence est in its intentions, produced by the experience of its past efforts and general con duct, that shortly after the close of the theatre, and without any inquiry as to the programme of the pre sent season, new subscribers have presented them• 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 lishment. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. A new five act pl ay un d er t h e t i t l e o f I?etribution, was produced here on Monday night, with unequivocal success. The author is Mr. George Bennett, the tra gedian. The play is by no means free from the con. ventionalities of the modern s tage, but they are never thrust prominently f orwar d, and are always made subservient to the chief points of interest, and al " '' though the incid en t s are comp licated, and there is too frequent a ref erence to antece dents, yet the plot is extremely inter es ti ng . R e t r ibution is a tale of the Cavaliers a n d R oun dh oa d s . 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 Briarly to possess hi mse lf o f hem, excites the cavalier to jealoasy of - his wife's honour, and a period having arrived when there is some cause to suspect that this jealousy is well founded, De Lacy 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 e me to bring about a marriage be tween his only son, a youth some seventeen years of aseier R , and Alice Raby liceß (Alr , A. Younge), and a by (Miss Glyn), the daughter of repre sents to the unsuspecting girl the improvement which has recently taken place in his fortunes. Alice, how evera f amdling whom her has been taught to regard Elwin (son to Bald win) only in the light of a brother, and she has pledged her love to Philip, father has fostered. At this juncture De Lacy, or many Blackbourn , years having been as absent he 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 i n appearsf tn ig ion part, s p , 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 Raby his daughter-in law, and in order. to effect this object he causes Sir Robert Raby to be imprisoned upon a charge of i 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 Ulf ! 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, die 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 Blackbour, avows himself as the long-veiled Do 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 I very well filled. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.

In the week ending last Saturday, the deaths regis tered in the metropolitan districts were 957, a number which exhibits a considerable decrease ou the returns of the labt 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, 1840-9, which is 1,144, showing a decrease of 187. The sudden decline in the mortality from diseases of the respiratory organs is remarkable; bronchitis, pneamo nip, and asthma have numbered in the last three 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 tee 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 tr 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, wades to 18—all cf these epidemics being under the average, and the first two being much less fatal than usual. Diarrhea% 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 de cided tendency t ) increase in later years. No deaths occurred in the week from cholera. From typhus there were 27, a comparatively light mortality from this cause. From influenza there were 2 deaths, from erysipelas 10, from cancer 17 deaths, of which all except three occurred to women; and ,9 women died after childbirth. In 2 persons fatal diae..ae is stated to hale been the result of intemperance. T 1 .e death of a woman of 47 years, which occurred in Jdnuary, was aocelerated by "destitution and exposure in extreme cold." She had been previously removel to Bethnal-green workhouse. The mean height of the barometer in the week at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was 29 457 in. The mean temperature was 44 chg., showing al excess of 10.7 dsg. on the average of the same week of seven years. It was higher than the average throughout Vie week. On Sunday the mean temperature was 12 deg. above the average, and on Friday and Saturday 14 deg. above it. In the Registrars' reports we find that Mr. Leonard of Charing-cross (sub-district) reports the death of a boy of eight years, in Princes -court, who died of " gas tritis nrt-r eleven days' illness, having been seized sud denly with intense pain, vomiting and purging, after eating some pie crust picked up in the att.<' lie further adds, " this child and another (who partook of a smaller quntity) were similarly affected. The former ai taken, in the first place, to a public institutior, and the symptoms were attributed ty 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 poisoned. The other child is slowly recovering." With reference to three deaths at 2, 3, and 8 Church lane, St. Giles's, Mr. Simpson makes the following ob servations:— '• I cat.not refrain from again calling attention to the present state t f Church-lane, Carrier-street, and the ad jacent courts, which are densely populated, and inha bited principally by poor Irish people, mu of whom are in a starving condition, while the malaria arising from their offensive streets and houses, for want t f sewers, drains, water, and ventilation, is productive of disease. Scarcely a week elapses throughout the year that a death is not registered in Church-lane, and I have this week (when the deans in the metropolis 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 remote I 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 tkat something would have re— sulted from the publicity given to the repoit of the Sta tistical Society of London when they visited this horrid and most filthy locality."

An inquest was held at the Fox and Hounds public-house, before Mr. Cuter, the coroner, and a highly respectable jury, 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 suffering severe mental ►ffliction from the loss she had sw,tained. Upon being worn she stated :—The deceased was my hu,br.ni , le was gardener to Mr. Teuton, of Tenehley Park, Limpsfield. On Monday morning vi e left home to •iait our daughter, who had been very seriously ill, i i London. When we got to Croydon, we lt.ft,the bore and cart at the Swan and Sugar Loa r, and pro :eeded on to London by railway. Upon our return n the afternoon we took the train at London-bridge. [t was the quarter before five o'clock Epsom xpress train. We entered the last carriage which was a second-class one. The train Atopped at Forest Hill, and other stations on the op posite side of the carriage where we sat. iVe 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 when 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 ahalton, 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 beard 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 aide. (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, buthe 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 carlessnesa 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. Teuton, 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 Limpafield, having kindly consented to receive such contributions.

The names of the successful candidates were declared, and the meet ing broke up._ fnemns NAVIGATION.—It has been found, since the establishment of railways, that the lock t ills on the river Thames have fallen off to a very considerable ex tent. - The Commissioners c.f the Themes Navigation have just announced that they consider it " expedient, as the best means of retaining arid augmenting the t •ade, to r..duce the old lock dues and tim Commissioners' tolls, upon the navigation, 20 per cent. from the first day cf Apeil next." An adjourned general meeting of tl • Commissioners is immediately to be held, at which the propositim is t, be brought forward. It will be neces sary, however, before the contemplated reduction can ta'te place, that the bondholders and others holding ac curitie3 upon the tolls, should concur in the proposed reductive, and also in the reduction f the interest upon their respsctive securit'e., for should the tolls I e reduced 20 per cent, it will be necessary, as a matter of course, that the interest upon the bonds and securities should he correspondingly reduced. The b mdholders have been summoned t. attend the meeting t f the Commissieners, in order that their sentiments and feelings may be clearly ascertained on the silbject.

T HE 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 Dibdin'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 Sach boisterous windy weather. Shire, therefore, March is marching on, When winds again will bluster, March for a coat to Moses' Mart, Where thousands daily muster. 'Tis clear we shall have winter yet, And hence would I advise you, To try the Winter over-coats, Which Moses' Mart supplies you.

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 for 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 following are the present prices of grain : a. 8.

From foreign ports our supplies have been trifling. The exports in the same time, with the excep tion of 5,577 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 be 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 same languor prevailed as we have had to note for some time past. Wheat and Sour 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 the best yellow could have been bought at 28s 6d per quarter. LEEDS, FEB. 12.—The arrival of wheat at our market to day is again very large, and there is a little more activity in the trade. In some instances a trilling advance on the prices of this day week has been obtained. Barley is dull sale at late rates. Oats and beans same as last week.

This applies both to fine yarns and the lighter clothe, as well as to the coarser make. Some large concerns, which produce low counts t f yarn, have gene on to short time, or stopped altogether; and the consumption of cotton, DOW advanced to such a perilous price by unsound speculations, is, to a very great extent, reduced.

Members who introduced the " titteri ig" and '•• much laughter" of Monday night, and shrugged their ihouldere to express. their belief that . under the present direction they never would get into their now quirter'r, surely cannot know the real facts of the case. They - cannpt be aware that the fault is -their own, and solgty their own; they can scarcely appreciate the juju:7 they e%etioin g the contractor, and the l oss w hi c h will ultlinut e y. 411.0 n the public. Not very long ago the G•Overnient aping at least 20,000/. in the erection of worleshoria4Tli sates .. bank, with p rov i s i on o f gaP, water, and costly,nuschinery, to admit of greater rapidity in the progreis of the leoelyi : the machinery is silent, the shops empty, the expenclitues: lying waste, and here the contractor has no, less than, fourteen thousand pounds' worth of materials, timber 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 theta 20 per cent. cheaper than be did then, to say nothing of the interest of money on the amount laid by. Quarries were leased, horses and plant bought, and other neer*. sary steps taken to carry on the work as it ought to be done. The loss caused by the delay may, be estimated. Ms 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, ire dispersed north and south. Looked at every way, the reiults of the course which has been pursued are Peen to be bolsi. and we would very reriously 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—n o thi ng can be gained by i t ; 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 fork, may, twenty years, or provide the money in any other way, • and there will then be little further opportunity, we ven ture t) 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 wino man, but 'tarns nothinf from 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-we show an old aunt, who is to leave as something at last. Nothing moves the masses more than the exhibition . of deep f ee li ng . I t .spea k s a l anguage which the very humblest can understand, an d c h a ll enges a response whick not even the most callous are disposed to withhold. Youth, enthusiasm, and affection, resemble three dayi of spring time; let us 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, Fzn. 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 sure t, 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, a d very little of the furniture has been saved. The family ha.l a narrow escape for their liver. ROYAL LONDON OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.—Oa Monday the annual general meeting of this charity was held at the Hospit sl, Blornfield-street. Moortields—th e Rev. John Russell, D.D., presiding. From the medical report it appeared that the total number of out-patients for the year 1849 was 8,418; being an increase over the peer eling year of 36.

The financial sheet shove f the receipts t 3 have been on the whole 1,5391.; of which' 2651. re sulted from dividends, and 1,2731. from donations and subscriptions. The sum invested in various securities was 8,3791. The report was adopted, the name of Sir John Poland added to the committee for the year cr suing, auditors elect- d. and thanks voted to the medical .tart, after which the meeting broke up. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYMAN.—As.the Rev. John Lowe, rector e f Ardley, Oxote was prom:d ing on horseback between that place and the neighbour lug riilage cf Middleton, the horse, a young spirited •aeriMal, became Very restive, and commenced r ear i ng an d plunging furiously. M r . Lowe, who is somewhat ad vanced in yearn, awate of the imminent iger he was placed in, endeavoured to retain his stet as touch au pos sible, but at length the animal retire.' and fell back to the ground. The reverend gentleman was thrown with considerable violence, and sustained internal irjuriea 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 slightest hopes were held out of his recovery. The sad event has cast a gloom over the whole of the pavifh, from the estimation in which the reverend gentleman'is held.

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 tes commonly happens that working men are the worst enemies c,t working men. The worst masters are generally those who have most recently been servants; and on the other hand, evert good masters are spoiled by bud servants. I here allude to the unskilful and indolent class ot workmen, who are always the last to whom employment is gii en, and who not unfreqeently would starve, could they not ob tain work by holding out the inducement to the employer of executing it at a lower rate of wages than , the etas ployer would think of offering to a butter alias of workmen. There have been, in many traders in Hull, scores of traitors among the working c'aises to their own order, and to whom the working classes at large owe more of their sufferings than to the established masters. It is from the petty Insisters—the journ r e s ym haertre masters, if I may ,so term them—that the ot e h n e are so much injured. Working learned those practices by which wo s rkin n g the icventors es h , will have with him at the same T e aen l B idh o ti s i t w o ill fr e ar le f r rom be that w atth r e ki w ng ork m in e g ifs man iniseri men his The old club system for obenn eh m a a n t d e— in the t e m s a a n tn w e wa ges is all but finally exploded, and it h r o oo w m o . r maintaining w orkmen generally , noton y h s h ou ld now become an im portant owto protest th emse l ves against masters, but consideration with against men of their own position." The Duke of Devonshire, on his late visit to his estates in Ireland, brought back with him that very cu rious relic of antiquity, the crozier of the ancient bishops of Waterford and Lismore, which come into his Grace's Inside, we believe, with the property of the B. , yles, Earls of Cork. It is of bronze, ornamented with enamel and beads; and if it do not belong (as some antiquaries contend it does) to the eighth or ninth century, it is certainly nut of later manufacture than the very com mencement of the twelfth century, the reign of Henry I. 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 e f Antiguan,* in London, on an early occasion, in order to ascertain the decision ot 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 origirally from Italy.
