BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37. BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence. which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The Nankin, 50-gun frigate, launched atWoolwich on Saturday last, arrived at Sheerness at nine o'clock A.M., on Sunday. It is supposed she must have touched the ground immediately after she went off the ways, as her main stern rudder post is broken. It is expected she will be ready for sea in May next. The San Fiorenzo, 50, ordered to be built at Wool wich Dockyard, is to be commenced immediately in the slip from which the Nankin was Launched. A considerable quantity of the timbers of the San Fin renzo have been already converted and conveyed to the sides of the slip. A convict employed with a gang at the mast-house at the west-end of the yard attempted to escape yes terday ; but, being soon missed, a search was imme diately commenced, and he was found in the hold of the Royal Albert busily engaged in filing off his irons with a file he had obtained from some of the work men's boxes. CHATHAM, Manzi' 19.—The Nankin, 50 guns, was towed into this harbour on the afternoon of Sun day, the 17th instant, by the African and Jasper steam-vessels, and on Monday she was placed unde r the sheers, where her masts were put into their places ; and the same day she was taken into the third dock to be coppered and fitted for sea. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The directors have issued their report with respect to the position of the holders of the Great North of England purchase shares. They state that they can not recognise the alleged right of those shareholders to seek for any modification of the terms on which those shares were created; but they think it will be judicious to secure to those shareholders a minimum dividend of four per cent. until the Ist of July, 1856, on the 171. yet uncalled, as the calls on these shares are paid up, but that on the 8/. already paid the ordi nary dividend only should be paid, and that after the Ist of July, 1856, the whole 251. should receive equal dividend with the capital Stock of the company. The directors believe that this course will best secure the payment of the 17/. yet remaining due on Great North of England purchase shares as that sum shall be required, but they have thought it expedient that a call of 2/. should be immediately made on these shares, payable by instalments of 1/. on the Ist of July, and 1/. on the Ist of January next, which call they have accordingly made. The amount of calls to be received from time to time on the shares will be applied in reduction of the amount due to the Great North of England proprietors; thus relieving this company from a corresponding amount of the rent payable for the Great North of England Railway, and so preventing any increased burden to this company, in its allowance of four per cent. divi dend on the calls to be made. The directors are glad to announce that they have been enabled to induce Mr. Plews, under certain conditions, to allow himself to be proposed for re election as a director at the ad journed meeting. Mr. Alderman Hodgson also consents to be again put in nomination. Should these gentlemen be re-elected the only remaining vacancy will be that occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Love. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—Apropos to slavery, we have to record an act of personal subjugation, as bad as anything in the evidence given last year to the Committee of the Lords. The scene was not the Bight of Biafra, nor Gallinas, but Downing-street; the victims were not the glossy children of Ham, but 160 Members of the British House of Commons; and the ostensible au thor of the extraordinary outrage was not a Brazilian skipper, but the head of her Majesty's Government. By the sound of the Tleasury whip the unfortunate captives were mustered early in the above-mentioned barracoon, and there shortly and sharply instructed in the terms of their servitude. Without so much as allowing them the opportunity of tendering their sporas taneous support, Massa Russell, for so we must call the principal actor on this occasion, informed his cap tives that if they did not support him in the blockade of the African slave coast, he would turn them all out into outer darkness to find a new master if they could. It was in vain that they protested and demurred, talked of money and reputation, and other topics customary with sensible men.; his Lord. ship would take no denial. Their opinions they might keep, but their votes he must have. As ap pears from the division last night, his Lordship suc ceeded to the desired extent. The poor sufferers came out lamenting their hard fate, but few of them dreamt of actual resistance. Thus, by a sort of vica rious bondage the British M.P. has taken the place of the African, and done task w ork to the music of the lash. Such, in fact, is the history of last night's di vision in the Commons. Let not the public be de ceived for one moment. The 232 Gentlemen who vote for keeping this Old Man of the Sea on our shoulders, themselves inwardly groan at the pres sure. We believe that any one of them would rather carry a sack of coals, or all the blue books of the session, from Westminster to St. Paul's, than vote away another million for this deplorable humbug. Sed fata aslant. If they don't d o as they are bid Lord Palmerston will go out, Lord John will go out, and all the rest will go out, and it is im possible to say who will come in ; perhaps Mr. Dis raeli, perhaps Mr. Cobden, perhaps Mr. Fearg us O'Connor. Nor was this all.. The philanthropist s, sure of their victims, were not content with exa ctin g a dumb vote. They bad prepared what we can only call a song of victory, which was to he chaunted in honour of the African squadron and; its complete ill success and glorious certainty o f failure. Mr. Hutt's motion was simple enough, and they who did not like it might think it sufficient to move the previous ques tion. Not 90 these gentlemen. In the notices of mo tion for last night stood a monster amendmen t, of which due notice had been g i ven by Mr . W . E vans, Member for North Derby s hi re , an d better known at Exeter ball than St. Steph en ' s . After reciting with fitting pomp all that had not b een e ffected by her Ma jesty's naval force employed on the coast of Africa, this amendment went on to ask for further supplemen tary measures—fresh cominunicatione;represe ntations, and remonstrances addressed to other powers, in the hope of persuading them to do what they have pro mised to do, but what they will undoubtedly see us all at the bottom of the ocean before they will do. There was a certain tone about the c oncluding and most important clause of the amendment, a certain " gravity," and " friendliness," and regard for " the character of this country," which, coupled with some recent passages in our history, does just suggest the idea--we beg to be excused if we are wrong—of an armed apparition in the Tagus, or perhaps in the har bour of Rio. This may, of course, be an injurious surmise; but, as the foreign Powers we have to deal 1 with are slaveholders to begin with, are our rivals in trade, and make a very good profit by our philar, thropy—as they break all their engagements with us when slave trade is concerned, and leave us alone in our Quixotic undertaking, nothing is more likely or natural than that the fleet now at the Piraeus should have to stop at Lisbon on its way home and ask a few questions ; and, if it be so, it is difficult to suppose that so prudent and farseeing a man as our present Foreign Secretary, with such an instinctive hatred of war, should not have that vision before his eyes. Such, at all events, is the image irresistibly awakened in our minds by the last clause of the amendment intended to be moved last night, but withdrawn, perhaps for the very fact of this ill look about it—perhaps out of tenderness to the feelings of the Ministerial supporters. Now, in all seriousness, what are to be 111inisterial measures, and what are not? A Minister does not derive all his power from his own person, essence, and being. He is a creation of Parliament, just as that is a creation of the country. Of course if he produced his ma jority out of the fountain of his own perfections he might impose on it what laws and conditions he pleased, as he might on any other creation of his brain. But in our view of these matters a party is just as independent as its leader, and if it owes him a considerable degree of obedience he owes to it a still '•,.larger, degree of consideration. Above all, he is not to impose Ministerial questions at discretion. If it supports him in free trade, or the colonies, or education, and other standing mat ters of Parliamentary dispute, it does not follow that he is at liberty new tax on i;s allegiance in the th eshapeei, a t o impose perpetuala blockade costing a million a year—not a farthing less—and absolutely ineffec tive for its purpose. At this rate no man can say what he may not be called on to vote for. He rises in the morning a free agent, and reads in the notice paper that before night h e will be committed to that which he holds in u tter abomination. It is bad enough to be pledged to heaps of things by force of custom and prescription, merely because one was horn to them or bred to them ; but worse, still, to be under an indefinite obligation to think and do what one has not at present the least idea of. But what is the value of a majority made up of such materials ? The country must take this matter into its serious consideration. A large proportion of our fleet—a fourth, it is said—is employed on this interminable fool's errand in the tropics without the least bene fi t whatever, but great deal of harm. A million a year is a low estimate of the expense. By the admission of the philanthro pists, as expressod in the amendment placed on the notice piper, not only is that expenditure quite thrown away, but it involves the dire contingency of " remonstrances with other Powers, consistent with the character of this country." So it is out of the question to talk of reducing our IL-et under these cir cumstances. This one monster waste swallows up all our savings. It is a mere farce to cut down the salaries of poor little officials, and do other igno minious cheese-paring, flint-skinning sort of work, if all the while we are playing at pitch and toss with a million at a time. Yet this is to be made a Minis terial question. Then economy is not a Minis terial question. The Whigs first came in on the Civil List. They stick in on the African squadron. Out of the Civil List they have contrived to save a few odd thousands, which, in the course of a half century or so, will amount to one year's cost of the African squadron. TRAGEDY AT CLAYTON-ON-THE- HEIGHTS. HALIFAX, MARCH 19.—The beautiful and secluded little village of Clayton was on Saturday the scene of a dreadful tragedy, in consequence of a young man recently married having shot his wife through the left breast and blown out his own brains. The subjects of the present tragical occurrence are two young people, named Abraham and Elizabeth Jessop, each about 25 years of age, and the cause of it an un happy and ill-assorted marriage, leading to a separa tion, which the wife's friends had unwisely attempted to render permanent, instead of seeking a reconcilia tion. The main supports of the village are some extensive stone quarries in the neighbourhood ; and Jessop, who had come to reside there from Brighouse, was a smith, and was principally employed in sharpen ing the delvers' tools. He had paid his addresses to the girl for some twelve or eighteen months, and about three monthsago they were married. Jessop had not a cottage furnished to take his wife to, and they took up their residence along with the wife's mother and sister. Almost immediately afterwards quarrels with his wife and her friends led to his being turned out of the mother's house, and a consequent separation. He had attempted in vain a reconciliation; and the unhappy man seems to have sought an interview on Satur day evening last, with a view to putting a period to all future strife and heartburning about the matter by murdering his wife, and afterwards destroying himself. After fortifying himself by taking several glasses of ardent spirits, he entered the house where she resided about half-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and found her in the presence of her mother and sister. He asked her to accompany him to the door for the purpose of a private conversation, but she declined, observing that she had no secrets which her mother might not hear. lie then attempted to induce his wife to give him an audience in another room, telling her she might relate what passed afterwards to her mother if she thought, fit. This she also refused, and he then took from one of his coat pockets a pistol, and hastily advancing towards her, discharged it with the muzzle almost close to her person. The ball took effect in the left breast, but missed the heart, piercing the breast in the direction of the left arm, and emerging immediately under the arm. Before any attempt at interference could be made, he then drew a second pistol, and placing it under his right ear, dis charged the contents through his bead. The unfor tunate wife ran to the door and sank upon the cause way, in a state of insensibility. She was afterwards carried to bed by her mother and some neighbours who lent assistance, and surgical aid being procured and the wounds stanched, she still survives. It is feared, however, that the ball has passed through a portion of the lungs, and that she cannot ultimately , recover. The wound which Jessop inflicted on him self was of a more immediately mortal character. He fell at once upon the floor, and expired in a pool of blood—his skull being fearfully shattered. The body was removed to the Black Horse public•house in Clayton. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE. FED 21, 1850.

The performance of Verdi's Nino at this theatre last evening was honoured by the presence of her Majesty and Prince Albert, who occupied the box heretofore known as the Queen Dowager's box, being one farther from the stage than the box which her Majesty occupied during the preceding seasons. Her Majesty and the Prince remained until the con elusion of the magnificent ballet Les Metamor phoses, with which they seemed highly delighted. Itie opera of Nino was performed last evening for the purpose of introducing to an English audience a new baritone, Signor Loreez), who, as Lorenzo de Montemerl;, has recently achieved an im mense success in Paris, a success which, judg ing from what we saw of him last even ing, will be more than equalled by his triumphs in this country. His voice is of the purest and sweetest quality, of great flexibility, fall of ex pression, and he always sings in tune, a rare thing among baritone singers. His features are remarkably handsome and expressive, his figure is com manding, and his action at once graceful and ener getic. His performance in the second act, in which his crown is struck from his head by lightning, was sub lime. Never have we seen the feeling of solemn awe so characteristically yet so classically delineated as it was by Signor Lorenzo last evening in this scene. His attitude at the moment he is struck was a study for the sculptor. In the beautiful duet with Abigail in the third act, "Oh di qual onte," he was full of pathos ; never have we heard the pas sage "Ah de perdona" so feelingly rendered ; and in the finale, where, having made his peace with Heaven, he once more resumes his sword, he was full of animation, energy, and dignity. He seemed indeed a king, ay, every inch a king. He was much applauded throughout, and the duet with Parodi (who was the Abigail), in the third act, was encored. He was frequently called on dur ing the course of the performance. The Abigail of Parodi is by far the best on the lyrical stage. Impassioned, yet majestic— haughty, yet impulsive—at once revengeful and am bitious, the slave Queen is a character to which Ma demoiselle Parodi alone of all our lyric artistes can do full justice. Her genius and her power enable her to act the character, while her youthful appearance enables her also to look it, and the consequence was that last evening the representation was perfect. The great improvement in her vocalization, which we re marked in her Medea, was again conspicuous last evening. Her Abigail was as perfect as a piece of vo calization as it was as a histrionic performance. Bel letti was the High Priest ; this has always been one of his greatebt characters, and he was last night as great as ever. Solemn and impressive in his manner, his singing was, as it always is, critically correct and most effective. His Orostaspe left nothing to be desired. Madame Giuliani made a most interesting Fenena. She was encored in her final air, which was beautifully rendered. Signor Michelli as Istaspe was painstaking, but the music of " Verdi the violent" occasionally overpowered his voice. The numerous choruses were well rendered, and the " Va Pensiero" was, according to custom, encored. At the conclusion Signor Lorenzo and Mademoiselle Parodi were called on. The beautiful ballet Les Metamorphoses, which nightly increases in popularity, followed, and was enthusiastically received. Les Metamorphoses promises to be a ballet " not for a season but tor all time." The house was very fashionably attended. THE ARMY.—We understand that arrangements ere in contemplation for the appointment of Lieuteeant- General Sir William Gomm, K.C.8., to the situation of Commander-in-Chief at Bombay, vice Sir Willoughby Cotton, G.C.8., who is expected to give up his command in the course of the ensuing autumn.

A woman named Emily It eville ' with at least a dozen aliases, was yesterday remanded from Lambeth, charged with having stolen a gold watch, the property of M. Theodore Rousseau, from the house of Sirs. Hunter, 20, York-road, Lambeth. The prisoner engaged apartments at Mrs. Hunter's, and had not been there an hour before she entered the bedroom of M. Rousseau, who also lodged at Messrs. Hunter's and stole his gold watch. The prisoner belongs to a family the members of whichhave for years past lived by victimising lodging house keepers and tradesmen. One of her brothers is at preset t in Maidstone gaol. The Middlesex Sessions commenced yesterday. There are 63 prisoners for trial. No case of importance came on during the day. Three young urchins, named Kimball, Wright, and Bol'on, were yesterday committ, d from the Mary lebone Police -court, charged with having robbed the poor'a.box of St. Stephen's Church, St. John's-wood. A brutal fellow, named John Blackburne, a car man, in the employ of Messrs. Smith and Pearse, the contractor: for making the tunnel of the Great Northern Railway line through Copenhagen-fields, was charged with having cut out the tongue of one of his master's horses. The fellow has escaped, but there is every pro bability of his speedy apprehension. Mr. George Watson, a jeweller, in Norton I'ol gate, was yesterday ordered by Mr. Hammill, the Worship-street magistrate, to pay to a lady named Mitchell, residing at Grimsby, 41., the value of a gold chain she had left at his shop to be repaired, and 21. compensation tor her detention in London to prosecute. Mr. Watson declared that the lady was mistaken, as she had never left any such chain at his shop; but Mr. Hammill, although exonerating Mr. Watson from all personal blame, considered it conclusively proved that the chain had been left their for repair as stated.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—The market for manufactures is in the same inactive state as it has re mained for several weeks past. Prices were nominally lower, but concessions were readily obtained where bu siness could be at all effected. RUINS IN CALIFORNIA.—It is reported that near San Diego, at the head of the Gulf of California, an immense extent of the ruins of ancient buildings have been discovered, including temples, atone pyramids. &c., with hieroglyphics, the records of a great and civilised race of inhabitants who have vanished from the face of the earth. A numbei of books and instruments for Univers* College, which have arrived in this country by steamei , from France, have been admitted free, by permission of the Lords of the Treasury. The Rev.

The affair excites a great deal of in terest in the town. HIGHWAY . ROBBERIES.-011 Saturday, the 16th inst., between four and five in the afternoon, as Mr. Osborne, traveller to Berries and Co., of Manchester, was driving in his gig from Bala to Llanfillin, North Wales, at a lonely part of the road, near the top of Borwyn Mountain, four miles from any dwelling-house, he was attacked by three men, who stopped his horse, and dragged him out. Mr. Osborne att•,mpted to strug gle with his assailants, but he was beat about the head till he became insensible, and whilst in that state they took from the gig box 2751. in gold and silver. The ruffians got clear away. On Saturday a gentleman was stopped outside Manchester, and robbed of 3751.

He proposes to advance a sum of 200,0001. for land ireprolements, tied 800,0001. for arte rial drainage, but not one w ord about railways. The absence of all allusion to the loan, however, in the finan cial sta!enient, is not to be taken as conclusive against its being granted , t hou g h it would he well if the direc tors were prepared to apply a gentle pressure, ns early as possible after the Easter recess.---'11.6h Railway Gazette.

With much regret we have to record the death o, Mr. Amedroz, the late chief clerk of the Admiralty, which took place at his residence on Monday after noon. This gentleman, whose health had long been failing, retired from office about a year since, after an unusually long period of half a century's service. He was a man of the strictest integrity, and a most valuable public servant, particularly so during the war, being very useful in the military and political department of the Admiralty, over which, for many years prior to his becoming chief clerk, be had the control. Mr. Amedroz was universally respected by the Lords and Secretaries of the Admiralty under whom he served, for his honourable, upright cha racter, and no less so by his colleagues in o ffi ce. Mr. Amedroz bad a pension of 1,0001. per annum. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—We are requested to state that the Lords of the Admiralty have under their consideration the propriety of subscribing to ward the funds for establishing a sailors home in this port. The " rot" has got into the Monarch, 84, at Sheer ness, which, it is expected, will prevent her commis sion. A survey was held on Friday by Rear-Admiral Berkeley, M.P., C.B. ; Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy; and the Master Shipwright of Sheerness Dockyard. The Niger steam-sloop, of the reserve squadron, has been removed from the jetty to the sea basin to day, preparatory to being docked to have her waste steam-pipes and bottom examined. The Lily, 12, Commander Bedford, hauled off from the dockyard into the stream this afternoon. She will be ready for sea by the 30th.

THOMAS LAW HODGES.—Hemsted, March 18." .7,. EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.— LEEDS, TUESDAY.—This day, at noon, a highly in fluential meeting of bankers, merchants, manufacturers, end other inhabitants of Leeds was held at the Court house, presided over by the mayor (Mr. Joseph Bate son), "for the purpose of adopting measures to pro mote the success of the great Exhibition of all Nations to be held in London in 1651, and also to insure to the skill and industry of the district an appropriate and honoursble representation." The meetingwas addressed by Mr. John Gott, the Royal Commissioner for the dis trict, Mr. W. W. Brown, hacker ; Mr. G. Goodman, merchant; Mr. Atkinson, flax-spinner; Mr. J. Hold forth, silk•spinner; Mr. J. Kitson, machinist; Mr. Wurtzburg, merchant; Mr. E. Baines; Mr. J. It. Shaw, late mayor; the Rev. IV. Sinclair; the Rev. C. Wick steed, and other gentlemen.

The amount of subscriptions announced at the meeting was nearly 1,1001. .. INCENDIARY FIRE. BURNHAM, Bucies.—Un Saturday night, about nine o'clock, considerable con sternation was created in this till recently quiet village by the discovery that an alarming fire had broken out on the farm premises in the occupation of Mr. W. Tal i which ended in the total destruction of nearly the whole of the buildings, the dwelling-house included. Tbf flames were first seen issuing from the barn, in which were about twelve quarters of thrashed wheat, and large quantity of straw; the whole of which was con sumed. It then communicated with the stables and dwelling-house, which were quickly a head of ruins, giving the inmates barely time to save a portion of their furniture, &c. The buildings being situated "close to the street the village engine was quickly on the spot, but the devouring element spread with such awful rapidity that scarcely any portion of the buildings was saved. Amongst the property destroyed were a winnowing ma chine and a large quantity of potatoes. The buildings are insured in the Royal Exchange, and the core, which belonged to a person named Williams, and which bad , been taken there to be thrashed out, is insured in the Sun-office. There is no doubt that the fire was the act of an incendiary; making the third fire of that descrip tion that has occurred in the village in the short space of one ,month. This fire had hardly subsided when another extensive conflagration was observed to be raging in the neighbourhood. This second fire was found to be of a more destructive character than the one above stated. It happened on the farm premises of Mr. John Nash, situated at Langley, about four miles from Burnham. An engine was soon on the spot, and the fire was eventually subdued, but not till a great destruc tion of property had taken place; three barns, the stables, the outbuildiega, three straw ricks, the stables belonging to the Harrow Inn adjoining, with a thrash ing machine, a drill, and other implements being totally consumed. This fire also is supposed to be the act of an incendiary. The property, we hear, is insured. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent honoured the performances at Co. vent-garden Theatre with her presence last evening. Her Royal Highness occupied the Queen's box, and was accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. In the Royal suite were the Baroness de Speth, Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Mary Howard, and Sir George Couper. Among the leading fashion ables in the boxes and stalls were the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and Lady Adeliza Fitzalan Howard, the Marchioness of Westmeath and Miss Foulis, the Countess of Malmesbury, the Countess Grey and Lady Alice Lambton, the Countess of Glengall, the Earl Bruce, the Countess of Minto and the Ladies Harriett and Charlotte Elliott, the Countess of Essex and Miss Johnstone, Vis count Maynard and the Hon.

JEws' INFANT SCHOOL.—A ball in aid of the funds of this charity took place last night, at Willis's Rooms, under the patronage of some of the most distin guished members of the Jewish persuasion interested in the success of the charity. The assemblage was very numerous, and the dresses and ornaments of the ladies were of the most chaste and elegant description. Danc ing commenced shortly after ten o'clock, to the music of Jullien's able band, and was continued until an early hour in the morning. The refreshments were, as usual at assemblies of this character, of the choicest kind, and were profusely served during the whole of the evening. The entertainment appeared to give the utmost satisface tion to all present, and the arrangements reflected much credit on the good taste of the honorary secretary, Mr. Walter Josephr, and of the gentlemen by whom the ball was conducted so successfully. The subseripttons re ceived amounted to about 3001. The mercantile advices from New York by the America, are favourable as regards the money and stock markets, but in ether respects they contain nothing of imprtance. The rise in stocks had been chiefly caused by the continuance of the European demand. Mmay was abundant, and in New York, as in most of the other (dies of the world at this time, large amounts appear to be seeking investment. The importations of foreign goods had been large, and there was every sign that an active business would be maintained, but the steady de cline in cc tton on this aide during the last few weeks will probably render it henceforth less buoyant than had been anticipated. By the accounts from Mexico, via Mobile, it appears that the United States Minister, Mr:.liohert P. Letcher, had arrived in that capital on the 2d of February, and that at that period political affairs were pet fntly quiet. According to a letter said to bave'been received from Messrs. Manning, Markoe, and Co., of Vera Cruz, dated the 6th of February, the house of Manning and Mackintosh, of Mexico, had been run upon ' in consequence of a malicious combination, but they had not only promptly met eviry demand, but had alas discounted a large amount of their acceptances in antici pation of maturity. ROYAL SOCIETY OF Musiciales.—ln addition to the liberal donations awarded to this useful and charita ble institution at the late annual festival, we are informed that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has since for warded a very handsome sum to the treasurer, to be applied to the purposes of the charity. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15 per rutile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17a. 10id. per ounce fur standard gold, gives an ex- • change of 25.52; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.47 f, it follows that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advicos from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4361 per mark, which. at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standara gold, gives an exchange of 13.10,i; and the ex change at Ilumburgh on London at short being 13.111, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than iu Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23 40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.83 per cent. against Eng land. But, after making allowance for difference o! interest and charges of transport, the present rate does not admit of gold being exported to the United States. DEATH OF A MISER WORTH 50,0001. —During the last few day a considerable interest has been excited in the neighbourhood of Sadler's Wells, in consequence of the d* ath of Mr. Wm. Crew, hairdresser, No. 32, Arlington-street, who, though always living in the most penurious manner, is said to have died worth 50,0001. 'The following facts have been stated en good authority. Deceased came up a charity boy, in 1790, to try his for tune in London, and was taken as errand boy by Mr. Frederick Hartland, hairdresser, at Sadler's Wells, on whose death he succeeded to the business. He was re markable for his penurious habits, and, after some years, married a person as penurious as himself. About a week before his death he disclosed to Mr. Turpin that he was worth nearly 50,0001. in scrip in railway companies, houses, &c., which he promised to leave to him, and, after his death, the draft of a will to that effect was found. His bed consisted of a few rags. His property which he made by loans and speculations in the stocks and public companies, is claimed by a cousin of the de ceased, and the case is likely to cause litigation. THE EXPLOSION AT lIOUNSLOW.—From inquiries made on Saturday as to the state of the wounded marls Henry Chi - lord, John Compton, and William Pearce, it vs as ascertained that Gifford, who was injured very much, is still fully expected to survive; but John Comp ton is still lying in a most precarious state. William Pewee is going on most favourably. EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.—THIRTEEN LIVES LosT.—A correspondent, writing from Wigan, says that between six and seven o'clock on Saturday morning an explosion of fire-damp took place at Messrs. Evans and Turner's colliery in Haydock, situated about a mile and a half from Newton race ground. The explosion occurred. in what is called the " Rock-pit," and 13 persons were either burned or smothered to death, some of them heir); literally burned to a cinder. It appears that eleven of the parties were working in a drift 1,000 yards from the pit-eye, without o any conductor, when the explosion took place; all of whom were burned to death. Two others were working about 120 yards nearer the pit-eye, and John a D n u d rd fi o ve m and they, on hearing the explosion, rushed into th e f ace of the fire, instead of making to the pit- eye. T he names of the sufferers are as leaving follows: a we his son (the chil dren;elder) battttsby, wife and four • children; William Knowles, one child, and wife (pregnant) ; Ralph Uusworth and John, his son (the elder), leaving a wile and four children ; John Oldie, leaving a wife and five children; John Holloway. drawer to Glare, killed at th e same titre • John Sin m , Jime3 Bai‘ey, Christopher Hesketb, ; Thomas Glover, and Joseph Hatton—all young men. • The mtn wet c allowed safety lamps, if they thought proper to use them ; but tl e :e d oes not appear to have been any re striction against working with naked candles. although the men had to run away from the fire the day before the f ital ocenrrem e took plexe. ARCTIC VOYAGERS.--The Hull Advertiser says "An affecting scene occurrtd on Tuesday:last at this port, when 22 seamen, accustomed to the northern regions, and who had been engaged by Captain Austin, R.N. C. 8., to accompany him in search of Sir John, Franklin, took leave of their wives and children upon the pier of the Humber dock, and immediately afterwards departed in the steam-ship Vivid, for London, there to join their commander and his crew , who tiro to pail on the Ist of May."
