Infe riG P XI 12 1 0 12 i 0 1 6 1 1 here restored to him, an the interpolated part of Colo nel Lillienhorn is omitted. The part cf Gustavus was sustained by Mr. Harrison, who went through th e p ar t in his usual mann e r. The Ankeratrom of Mr. Weiss was an excellent and rausician-like performance. Mademoiselle Nan was the heroine, and sung the music with much taste, and Madame Macfarren made a very tolerable Arvedson. The gem of the opera,: how ever, was the Oscar of Miss Louisa Pyne. Never have we seen the sprightly pogo so gracefully represented, not even by Miss Shirreti; as he was last evening by Miss Louisa Pyne. She wa iin excellent voice, and rendered the music most artistically. It was a perfect treat to hear this most delightful and accomplished artiste, sing " The Invitation to the Ball." The choruses were efficient and the orchestra was admirably con ducted by Mr. Loder. The finales to the first and second acts, and the " Vire le Roi" chorus were encored. Madlle. Celeste Stephan made her debut at this theatre last evening, and danced the " Pts des Folios" with infinite grace and spirit. The opera Las been very well put upon the cage; the scenery (painted by Mr. Gray expressly far this revival) was very beautiful, and the ball scene in particular was most brilliant, rivalling is this respect the ball scene at Drury Lane on the original production of the opera. The magnificent spectacle, the Queen of the Roseß con cluded the evening's amusement. Th e house was crowded. ' • ik • tsytt. APRIL 16 ) 1850.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue, particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and raleness of the especially the upper lip, fre quent itching of the nose, an unequalled state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels al-o,tials and emaciated countenance, and at other times the face will be 'flushed, griping pains, a short, cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of in clination to take exercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c.. &o, _ are ame of the general symptoms of being afflicted -With . worms; adults as well ae eitildrefa are subject thereto. Youth or age may , with the utmost cafety have recourse to this old established medicine, which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp toms thus described, which are produced by worms, and to a trial of this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by, numerous testimonials through a long period of years. This medicine may be administered with confidence to children or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine ment. Its efficacy .a also particularly beneficial as an alterative medicine, insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and promoting a healthful vigour to the whole system, Sold by Thomas Front, 229 Strand, London, whose name and ad dress observe on the Government stamp, also sold by and may be Procured from the dealers in ;nedicines, at 2s. 9d., and for children at Is. 14d. each box. EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the nse of GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. If you aro in want of that beautiful adornment of the human time, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer. an l ls. bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bury, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whorls it is highly appreciated for its manifild virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Gemstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter 0 the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. Thrs painphlet A forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromitie Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it waa a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal nse of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Clutter Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be star nped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the 'wormers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1 825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, E'sq., altered the label, of id sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the Letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grims tone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its ci.rative qualities, being sold at that time ix canis ters, within the rca ch of every poor family.

(From the Chronicle.) Resolutions condemnatory of what are called the Taxes on Knowledge, will be moved this evening by Mr. Milner Gibson. He will be answered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who will stand up man fully for his Budget ; and he will encounter the usual stolid, dogged, bigoted, and unreasoning opposition, from a highly respectable class of Members, who, priding themselves on what they ' call their old fashioned modes of thinking, are firmly persuaded that the evils which flew out of Pandora's box were the twenty-four letters of the alphabet—that Eve's apple typifies a book—and that, as Sin came into the world with Knowledge, Virtue should never trust herself out of the region of Igno rance. The most eloquent appeal to Sir Charles Wood's imtellectual sympathies will probably produce no practical result during the present session. Re solved on reversing the boast of Augustus, who " found Rome brick and left - it marble," he would rather be buried under his bricks than give them up. Perhaps he may be right so far. Physical wants should be the first care. Comfortable houses should take precedence of cheap publications. If (which remains to he proved) the Right Hon. Gentleman cannot yet afford to remove all fiscal checks on good books and wholesome reading as well as on good air and wholesome habitatiorv, let him, by all means, begin with the habitations and the air. It will be something, however, to force a distinct admission of the principle from the Government ; and we shall be disappointed if the discussion does not end by convincing every thinking politician, in 'and out of the House, that the abolition of the taxes in question would strengthen instead of undermining our most valued institutions, and assist in placing an impreg nable bulwark before property and social order, whilst adding incalculably to the self-respect, the domestic enjoyments, and the moral eleuation of the poor. Mr. Milner Gibson proposes to pave the way by reciting. that " all taxes which directly impede the diffusion of knowledge are highly injurious to the public interests, and are most impolitic sources of revenue." He then proceeds to mark out for specific legislative disapproval-1, the Excise duty on paper ; 2, the stamp duties on newspapers ; 3, the advertise• ment duties; 4, the Customs duties on foteign books. Do all or any of these duties directly impede the diffusion of knowledge ? This question must be an swered positively and peremptorily in the affirmative, unless it can be maintained that an enhancement of price does not operate as a check on the multiplica tion or circulation of the usual vehicles of know ledge—namely, books, reviews, magazines, and newspapers. The effect of the duty on paper has been so strikingly illustrated by Mr. Charles Knight that any additional argument would be-super— fluous. In his " Struggles of a Book against Exces sive Taxation," it is demonstrated that the charge thereby imposed on the Penry Encyclopedia has al ready exceeded thirty-two thousand pounds; that this excessive burden is the principal cause why the undertaking has not been remunerative ; that the con tinuance of the impost prevents him from undertak ing a new edition of that eminently useful work ; and that it will probably never be reprinted unless the burden is removed or very greatly lightened. Messrs., Chambers, the proprietors and publishers of Cham bers's Journal, another periodical of the most im proving tendency, calculate that this duty, even at the present reduced rate, enters, to the extent of one third, into price. So much for Mr. Milner Gibson's first item of complaint. The last (the import duty on foreign books) speak for itself, and though comparatively un important, is equally indefensible. The second and third (the stamp duty on newspapers, and the adver-„ tisement duty) are frequently mixed up with con... siderations alien from their essential qualities ; and we earnestly hope that the Member for Manchester will not fall into the common error of fancying that the principal journals are indebted to a vicious system of taxation for what is somewhat gratuitously and in vidiously designated as their "monopoly." Their advantages are the legitimate results cf capital, en terprise, and skill. If the successful projector of a London newspaper be a monopolist because it is impossible to compete with him without money or credit, so is, or wa s , the founder of every leading commercial or manufactur ing firm in the ' empire. The Walters and the Perrys stand on precisely t h e same footing in this respect as the Rothschilds, the B • arings, the Ark wrights, and the Peels. Analyse the cry occasionally set up against the Times, the Morning Chronicle, and the other metropolitan morning papers (the grand offenders in this line), and it will be found to be nearly identical with that raised by Louis Blanc against capital and competition in France. When, however, they succeed in distan • cmg a rival, it is be cause t h e y produce a superior article. No possible or imaginable reduction in the required outlay will ever enable a needy man cf letters—be his capacity for instructing the public what it may—to maintain an immense establishment, to organise a numerous body of writers of the most varied powers, to blend and harmonize their contributions, and to secure trust worthy correspondents in every quarter of the globe. As well might it be pretended that a reduction in the price of flour and sugar would enable any ordinary pastry-cook to drive Gunter from the field. In our own opinion, at all events, we should gain instead of losing by the immediate withdrawal of all alleged legislative favours. If we could supply our readers at a cheaper rate, we should most assuredly have more of them ; and there e'en be as little doubt that we should obtain more advertisements if advertisements were not laid under a contemporaneous tribute to the State. But, admitting that more knowledge would be diffused, would it be knowledge of the right sort ? Is it advisable to extend the range of political dis cussion by increasing the circulation of newspapers ? Are industry, order, morality, and religion, incul cated by .cheap literature ? We answer, with Mr. Charles Knight, that, if they are not, it is be cause such publications as the Penny Encyclopedia and Chambers's Journal, together with the respect able London and provincial journals, are prevented by impolitic taxe3 from taking their proper place on the bookshelf of the cottier and mechanic. "The detrimental exercise of the printing-press is only to be met by its wholesome employment ;" and it is obviously of the deepest moment that the political reading of the higher classes (which is generally of a Conservative turn) should be rendered accessible to all. As to the portentous influences of modern journalism, it would be difficult to gainsay the quiet remark of the Edinburgh Review, that " it is more to the purpose to set about neutralising any evil effects that may be apprehended from a change, than to rail at it; and this change would hardly be so marked and durable unless the talent and knowledge which used to find vent in books, had been gradually diverted into reviews and newspapers." It is absurd to argue such questions as if it were practicable, or advisable, to prevent the mass of the people from learning to read or from receiving any education at' all. The Rubicon is already passed ; th ey h ave thrown off the thraldom of tradition and authority; they cannot exist in future without intellectual ali ment of some sort ; and if they are not allowed to share in that provided for their superiors in taste and cultivation, they will infellibly demand and get sup plied with an inferior, contraband, and corrupting literature of their own. (From the Post.) motion Mr. Gibson ought to have confined his to the duty on paper, and to that alone. This excise is different in its character and operation from the other three in many important particulars. That it seriously impedes the diffusion of knowledge there can be no. doubt, Mr. Knight's valuable tract, called t , The Struggles of a Book," has established this beyond the possibility of a question. But this is by no means its only demerit. it checks the growth of manufacture and the progress of commerce; it limits the employ ment of labour and the exercise of invention ; and, finally, it prevents, the influx into the F i xchequer of a larger amount by much than that which it raises by means so injurious to the public at large. Of the duties, on articles in general consumption recommended for removal by Sir Henry Parnell's Committee, the excise on paper is the only one which remains. We have repeatedly hai occasion to show that the repeal of this tax would largely in crease production, to meet both the demands of the home and of the foreign markets. The establish ment of new mills in the agricultural districts as well as in towns would employ both infant and adult labour to an extent little contemplated by those who have not examined the question with the care to which it is. entitled. Increased employment would necessarily give rise to increased consumption of other exciseable articles, and thus feed the revenue. One fact is worth a thousand arguments. Here are some words extracted from a letter now before us, and written by a most respectable and experienced paper manufacturer in Scotland:— "In regard to the Americans—first, they are now supplying our colonies in their neighbourhood, where we used to ship every spring 4,000 to 6,000 reams; a considerable portion el' which was "news ;" we novr do not ship even a ream. ' Canada is suppied almost exclusively by the States. So much for free trade there. 2d. They are (that is, the Americans) buying up all the materials they can get in this market, as well as Liverpool, Dublin, Sligo, Limerick, every where ; and when once their screw ships are at work, every de scription of material will go to them, and at a low freight, and be so (sinkly delivered that the present risk of fermentation fcom long passages will be at an end. This is not ell. Our best hands are leaving us, and go ing to the States ; they are getting higher wages, be cause, the trade being untramelled, they can afford to give them. "Two first-rata machine men sail from this to-mor row—engaged passage frea, and agreed far twelve months at seven dollars per week. There are also seve ral engineers going, and about ten of our mon have gone within the last two years. They are continually writing home for more to go out to them. So you see how our trade is going down in one or two ways. All our cob). vies—even the East Indies—will, in a little time, be sup plied by the Americans, I do verily believe; and all this may, in a great degree, be attributed to the trammels of our fiscal regulations." This picture is in nothing overdrawn. "It has been computed," says an able pamphlet, " that the repeal of the paper duty would give employment to 40,000 additional persons in London alone, besides a vast number in the country; and to these may be added a considerable increase in the numbers employed in the business of publishing and printing, including folders, stitchers, bookbinders. &c., comprising chil dren and adults of both sexes." " There are also," continues the same author, " numerous manufactures, such as millboard, card board, papier•mache, buttons, ornaments, toys, &c., in which paper forms the principal ingredient, and to these a still greater stimulus would be given by the reduced cost of production adding im mensely to the employment of every description of labour. If the consumption of paper be traced through its various ramifications, and the number of people which are employed upon it in other countries, where the manufacture is not subject to duty, it is almost impossible to conceive the vast amount of labour which would be created by its application to uses from which it is now only debarred by the duty, so that the relief from this tax would materially aug meat the national resources, and in this point of view produce a greater amount of practical and positive good than any other scheme which could by possi bility be devised." Oar remarks have extended to a length which forbids our pursuing the subject further; but we trust we have in this, and in preceding articles, suc ceeded in showing that, besides the advantages which the repeal of the paper-duty would share, in common with the removal of any excise impost, it has the singular merit of supplying the very deficit which its adoption would create. It is, therefore, a measure which is entitled to the support of every one who wishes to encourage the industry, the manufacture, and the commerce of his country. _FRENCH PASSPORTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—lt is quite well that the public delusion on the subject of French passports should be done away with, as it is very generally supposed that they are not now required, or if they are, that there is no charge for them ; but such is not the case, passports are required as ever, and the charge. is ss. for each person. The French authorities do now grant what is termed a permit, lasting a month, which gives the party holding it freedom on entering and depart ing during that period, without further trouble or expense, but through some mistake or blunder it is departed from, and the permit is demanded upon landing, and given up, which should not be. This will, however, I trust and doubt not, soon be rectified, as there is every desire at the office of the French Con sulate to facilitate matters, and I cannot conclude this letter without offering my sincere thanks to the French Consul and all connected with the office, as well as to the French authorities generally, for their uniform kindness and courtesy in facilitating my arrangements for the conveyance of my countrymen to their capital. Whether it is judicious in the Government of the French Republic to make the passport system, which is for their own security, and not our convenience, a matter of charge is another question, and one in which Ido not interfere. It must in a certain degree retard the freedom of intercourse between the two nations, which it is so desirable to keep up. I feel this to be so much the case , that I invariably pay the passports for all my passengers. .1 fear I have trespassed too long upon your valu able space, and beg to remain, Sir, yours, &c , JOSEPH CRISP. 51, Bedford-street, Strand, April 13, 1850. 4 c ct i e) 4 I pa ! e s g o 2 R:1 - ! 20 - 85' - 210) - 241 20 70) 60j - 870 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE SlR,—Your paper often contains a curious adver tisement, generally placed near the commencement of the leading article, which appears to relate to lamps or coalpits, but the meaning of which is totally unintelligible to the profanum vulgus.

Leeds, 15th April, 1850. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A sad accident happened on Tuesday night last a p t East Wheal Josiah (late Wheal Crease), near Tavistock. Two men, Thomas Rodda and son, were working in the shaft, when, in consequence of the casing breaking, the ground gave way and buried them. The father, who was extricated after seven hours, was much braised; and Henry Rodda, the son, aged 19, was dug out after remaining thirteen hours, but life was extinct. FIRE IN MANctusTER.--Yesterday morning a fire broke out in a cotton-waste warehouse, occupied by Mr. Thomas Baxter, Cross-street. Before the fire could be ex tinguished the whole of the building was completely gutted. 'I he buildings connecting the warehouse were by the activity' of the fire brigade saved from any serious damage. The es timated loss is about 1,500/., which, we understand, will be covered by insurance. CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION.—The Vartiralty have taken up the Emma Eugenia transport, at Deptford, to take out the coals and surplus stores for the expedition. Light gutta percha sledges are to be provided for the expe dition, on a plan proposed by Lieutenant Halkett, B.N. The steam was got up on board of the Pioneer yesterday, and the machinery worked in dock (the water having been let into the dock to float her). All went well. THE OwENs' COLLEGE.—On Saturday morning a deputation, consisting of Mr. Thomas Bailey (president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce), Rev. Dr. Halley (Independent), Mr. J. R. Wood, Mr. Sails Schwabe, and the Rev. Alexander Munro, waited upon the trustees of the late John Owens (who has lately left a munificent bequest for the foundation of a college in Manchester), for the purpose of protesting against the introduction into the proposed schools of religious teaching by a professor of the college. The members of the deputation stated their individual views upon the subject, and.also the opinions of the various religious bodies which they represented. The trustees pro mised to take the matter into their consideration. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND NORTH STAFFORDIIIIRE RAILWAYS.—The differences between these two companies have at length been finally adjusted. A n agreement was signed, sealed, and the counterparts delivered on Saturday, by which it is arranged that the Manchester traffic shall pass over the North Staffordshire line. This agreement will involve the withdrawal of certain bills which the North Staffordshire Company have before Parliament, and also the withdrawal of the Chancery suit which was re • cently instituted. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY .. — The half-yearly statutory meeting of the shareholders of this company is to be held on the 26th instant, by which time the report of the committee of investigation is expected to be ready. It is reported it is to recommend that the agreement with the southern companies should be maintained, until determined otherwise at law. In the meantime the traffic arrangements with other companies continue as before; any new measures which may be in contemplation, being deferred till after the meeting of the 26th, which will determine as to the continu ance of the lately formed board of directors in office.—Perth Courier. STRIKE OE THE GLOVE MAKERS AT NOTTING• 11/01.—We understand that there is a general strike of the glove hands, in Nottingham, in consequence of an attempt ou•the part of the middlo•men to raiec the charge for frames 3d. per week each. , We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The choice . of M. EUGENE SUE as the Democratic candidate for Paris is considered on all hands as a master-piece of electioneering tactics ; and even the reactionaries are compelled to acknowledge that their candidate will stand little chance against the most popular novelist of the day, who is also a most thorough-going Democrat : his popularity as a no velist will secure to him the support of the ladies, whose influence will, no doubt, prevent many from voting against him who would have voted against any other Democratic candidate. It is to M. VIDAL that the credit is due of having proposed the name of M. EUGENE SUE to the electors of Paris. Orders have been sent to the French fleet to quit the Bay of Naples should the English fleet appear there to demand indemnity for losses sustained by British subjects in consequence of the proceedings of General FILANGIERI in Sicily, in order to leave the round free for the negotiations of the British Minister. The Patric has the following communicated note : " Bereral journals, in giving w an account (lan incident which occurred on the departure of the President of the Republic from Versailles. say that some persons sur rounded his carriage and uttered seditious cries. It is 'true that one Of the horses in the President's carriage fill sit the Fond Point of the Champ Elyielr, but it im- meniately rose, and .no malevolent demonstration took pliwe. There were very' few people assembled." The following communicated note appears in the Parie and the Mon tour du Soir : " Some of the journals have on several occasions spol :an of movements of Austrian troops destined to form the garrison of Rome in conjunction with French and Spa wish troops. It is astonishing that various journals t.hoisid bring forward such statements on the faith of let ters from the shores of the Adriatic. All these reports are utterly destitute of foundation."

The Ministry of the Count of TnoMAR, has sustained a defeat in the Ilouse of Peers, an ad verse Committee having bcen apppointed to consider the Law on the Press, by a majority of 22 to 14. The Opposition was led by Count LEVRADIO and Senhor FONSECA AIAGELETAES. There was a levee on the 4th in honour of the QUEEN'S birthday. It was observed that the Duke of SALDA:iIIA did not attend the levee. GERMANY. The following is the motion of PATow, to which the Paop:e's House of the Parliament at Erfurth have :speed by a majority of 125 to 89 : " 1. The Home of States gives its full and tmcon dition3l assent to the draft of the Constitution of the General Empire, as agreed upon among the Govern ments, and annexed to the statute of the 26th of May; as also to Ithe draft of the law respecting the election of members for the House of the People, which was agreed upon at the same time by the Governments in q uestion.. " 2. The House of States Dives its full and uncondi tional assent to the additionsir Act 'to the draft of the Constitution of the German Empire, as laid before the Parham ant in the op ening message of March 20,1850. " 3.

" 4. The House of States resolves to propose to the AdminiArative Council cf the united Governments, in the draft: of the Constitution, in the draft of the elec toral law. and, thirdly, in the additional Act, to alter the subjoined) sections as follows." A memorial has been addressed by Prince SCHWAXCTZENBUIIG to the Prussian Government, urging upon them the necessity of, accrediting M. DE BUEOW o the Central Federal Commission. The King of PRU9SIA is much offended with Ge neral IV)a.rasEN for having accepted the command of the Schleswig-Holstein army, and as he has accepted it without leave, he forfeits his pay as a Prussian officer. .Tomusag ES STAurr was convicted on the 12th, at Darmstadt, after a trial of 34 days, of the murder of the Countess GORLITZ, in whose family he was a footman, and sentenced to be imprisoned for life. HOLLAND. The Second Chamber of the States-General will re-commence its sitting at the Hague on April 15th. The day will at once be fixed for debating the pro ject of law relative to the administration of the mint. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. General WILLENSEN has published a warlike pro clamation on taking the command of the Schleswig- Holstein army. " The King of DFNMARK," he says, " cannot be considered as our King, but only our Duke. Let him come in that character, and he will be re ceived with affection and respect. May our adver saries understand this language while it is time, and before the schism is too wide. Schleswig-Holstein and our right' is our war cry, snd at the same time our motto of peace. Let us swear to die, if neces sary; but never to submit. Our country expects every man to do his duty." It is said that the places of General BONIN and the Prussian officers who hare been recalled from Schles wig-Holstein will be supplied by some of the Hunga rian officers at present in London. TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople of the 21st ult. an nounce the reception by the SULTAN of Mr. MAasn, the American Ambassador, between whom and Sir STRATFORD CANNING the utmost cordiality exists. Diplomatic relations with Austria have not yet been restored. Count TELERT and M. GABOR have passed through Constantinople en route for England. DEIIBENSKt and MESSAROS are at Brussa ; BEM and the Mussulman converts haVe gone to Aleppo. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. The Russian troops are to quit the principalities in the beginning of April. Several Moldavian families have requested FUAD EFFENDI to obtain permission from the Sublime Porte to allow Moldavian youths to serve under the Ottoman Government. This petition has been very graciously received. MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) SAT DIANZLISTS. SmrrurrELD.--Meadow Bay, 2/ 8s to 31105; cl over ditto, 3/ Os to 4/ 10s and Straw, 11 Is to 11 8 1 per load.

The public character of a man is the tinsel worn at Court ; his private character is the service of gold kept at his banker's.— Eliza Cook's Journal. It is stated that the cos ts incurred b y the Bishop of Exeter in the Gorham cue amount to 14,0004 . STRAND THEATRE. We would advise all who enjoy a hearty laugh to call on Friend Waggles. He is to be foetid at home here every evening, in the likeness of Mr. Compton; and his mishaps and adventures, his sayings, and his doing. form a glorious conglomeration of fun, which keeps alt, who witness them, on the broad grin for about thret quarters of an hour. Friend Woggles was first intro duced to the public last night, arid there is no doubt but that his career will be long and triumphant. • AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY. The fourth concert for the season took place last night at the Hanover-square Rooms. The programme consisted of a selection of pieces exclusively by English composers. The first piece was a symphony by Mr. Henry Leslie, the very clever and indefatigable secretary of the society. This work, which was performed for the first time last season, is of very great merit, and exhi bits en originality of thought and a mastery of musical science which must eventually place Mr. Henry Leslie in the very first rank of composers. We look to this gentleman for the production of some great musical work which " the world will net willingly let die." A new symphony in 1) minor, by Mr. Macfarren, entitled "Thalien," was psi formed last night for the first time, and performed in a manner of which even the Philhar irionic orchestra might have been proud. This sym phony is perhaps the finest thing that Mr. Mall:urea has yet written, and is scored in the most elaborate and masterly manner. Both symphonies were conducted' by their respective composers. The other pieces (among which we would parti cu l ar ly not i ce the overture to 13slfe's Castle of Aymon.which was admirably performed) avere conducted by Mr. Negri. We congratulate the members of tkis society on the great success which has attended their efforts and on the marked progress which they have made. THE ALLEGFD MURDKR AT 114 ALEHAM.--Yester day, Charles Hotisen, of Staines, the man who upon self-ac. cnsation is now in custody for the alleged commission of a murder committed twenty years ago, was brought up before the magistrates of the county of Middlesex, at Staines, for examination. The statement of the policeman, which we have already published, was again made befere the magis trates, and some further evidence add uce d as t o t h e fi n di ng of a eeton at the place pointed out by the prisoner as the grave of the deceased. The prisoner was remanded. A Mr. Pride, cashier to Mr. Lamont, coal agent, of Edinburgh, absconded the other day with 3001. Ha has just been taken at Stroud with the residue of his plunder, only 301., in his posiee.sion. Leaves seem light, and useless, and idle, and waver ing, and changeable—they even dance; yet God has made them part of the oak. In so doing, Tie bas given us a lesson not to deny the stout-heartedneqs within, because we see the lightsomeness without.—Eliza Cook's Journal. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.— Saturday morning the premises of Mr. Barr. flour factor and wharfinger, of Co. penhagen Wharf, on the river Lee, Limeheuse, were dis covered to have been entered, and upwards of 304 ii silver and copper money abstracted by the thieves. The burglary was effected with considerable skill, the thieves having ob tained an entrance at the window, and, as it is supposed, shortly after daylight, so as to throw the persons engaged •on the premises, looking after the cows and other stock in the outhouses off their guard. About twenty minutes to nine two men were proceeding in a truck from the direction Of the prethises, but, as it was not earlier than the usual hour for commencing suburban business, no notice was taken. Sus picion has, consequently, fallen on the mea who were seen in the truck, neither of whom have, unfortunately, been yet recognised. Burglaries at this end of the metropolis and its vicinity have been greatly on the increase lately. Tan ARAB HORSES PRESENTED BY LIER MAJESTY TO Mn. Barri.—Our readers will remember that about a month ago her Majesty made a present to Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astley's Theatre, of two out of several Arabian 'wises sent to the Queen by the Emperor of Morocco, that her subjects might have ;the gratification of seeing pure specimens of this renowned breed of animals. They were two entire horses, spotlessly white in colour, perfect in sym metry, pure in blood, standing about 14 hands two inches in height, and rising one four and the other five years old. The animals were committed to the care of experienced breakers and trainers, under the immediate eye and superintendence of Mr. Batty himself, and both have now become perfectly docile, and thoroughly obedi en t t o th e w hi p and re i n, whether in single or double harness; and in the course of two or three weeks, such is their docility and intelligence, that they are expected to be sufficiently well up in their parts and the business of the stage to make their debut upon the boards where so many of their kindred and clime long sustained a distinguished rep u t a ti on an d attracted crowded audiences. Her Majesty also presented Mr. Batty about a week ago with a mare of the same breed and colour, but slightly freckled with black spots. She is a beautiful animal, with a broad chest, much bottom, and a particularly grace ful head and sloping back. She is considerably older than the horses, but from her build and temper she i s no t un lik e l y to verify he old adage that "the grey mare is the better horse." Mr. Batty is, as he well may be, proud of her Majesty's present, and bestows all the care and skill he pos• sibly can to make their training worthy of their blood and their performances acceptable to the royal donor and her loyal subjects. The northern lights, " Derwentwater's lights," were very brilliant on Saturday night last. WATERSPOUT IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL—A somewhat unusual occurrence for these latitudes occurred on Saturday evening last in the Bristol Channel. As the Fanny and Jane, a brig of 118 tons register, from London for this port, laden with wines and a general cargo, was on her voyage up channel, when about twelve miles off Padstow, with the wind at &S.W., they heard a strange noise, and the set suddenly rushed up, forming a large waterspout, and carried away the masts, bowsprit, and everything from the vessel's deck. She was taken in tow by the Alert, of Brid port, and brought into port. Several vessels that were within half a mile of the Fanny and Jane entirely escaped the visitation. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A lengthened inquiry was held by Mr. Carter on Friday night, at the Noah's Ark tavern, Park -street, Southwark, respecting the death of Miss Mary Carpenter, aged 82, who was burnt almost to a cinder, at a fire which occurred at the deceased's resi dence in Moss's-alley, Bankeide, on Tuesday evening last. The deceased, who was possessed of several freehold houses in the above neighbourhood, was looked upon as being one of the most extraordinary characters probably ever heard of. A few years since she had a number of dresses made so short that none of them would reach down to her knees. Part of her leg was exposed, but the o th er was encased in white stockings, tied up with scarlet garters, the ribbons extending to her feet or flyi ng a b out her person. In this extraordinary dress she would sally forth to market, followed by immense crowds of men and children. Six or seven years ago she en .. tirely changed her manner of living, for, instead of continuing the sport of the populace, the shut herself up in her house in Moss's-alley, and being apprehensive that " thieves would break in and steal," she had the win dows bricked up. She continued to live in one of the rooms floor to leavetint until her he dingymm eo apartmentr memorable high for tid one noec higher.c r r occurred, which e forcedg rcn ri her This room she also bricked up, so that not the least light could enter from the outside. A woman named Flynn used to attend upon her, and with the exception of her collector of rents no one else was allowed to enter on any pretence wha'ever. On Tuesday last Mrs. Flynn left deceased cook ing a mutton chop for her dinner, and in two hours after smoke was seen pouring through the apertures in the wall. An alarm being given, the house was broken open, when, on going to the upper floor, the place was found to be full of flame, and the deceased lying on the bed encircled in fire. The flames having been extinguished, the deceased was found to be frightfully burnt. There being no doubt in the mind of the jury that whilst deceased was cooking the mutton chop her dress became ignited, they returned a ver dict of" Accidental death." MARGATE.—The rumour that the Gravesend boats are to be placed on this station to work in conjunction wit h the North Kent Railway is very generally credited, and hOpes are entertained that it may come to pass; by this route, the distance from London to Margate would be per. formed in ab- ut three hours and a half. The question of fares by the steam-boats is a subject of deept some little importance to the majority of people in this town, consequently anxiety and regret is felt at the determination of the pier di rectors to continue the head money, for children and adults Is. each. This is a sum far too high, and interferes with the prosperity of the town, by reason of increasin g the fares to that extent. Public attention will be brou ght to bear on this subject during the pres ent s ummer, by the General Steam Navigation Compann wh intend wo r ki ng the Rams gate station at fares co nsiderably lower th an those charged to Margate; but during the time the town will suffer, for the public will be conveyed past the town at a less costs --showing to the most obstinate who are the friend's of the place—the advocates of cheap fares or the champions of mo uopoly.—.Dorer Telegraph. DaRING lIIGDWAY ROBBERY.—One of the most impudent and determined cases of highway robbery that we have for years had to record in this neighbourhood took plac on the turnpike-road leading from Abingdon to Drayton, an d between these two places, under the followingcircumstances Mr. J. B. Phillips, of Ardington, was returning home from market on Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, an d when about two furlongs on the other side of the Tithe Farm, he met six or seven men, and as he was passing two of them seized th e b r i dle of his 'horse. Mr. Phillips lost no time in layi ng about him resolutely with his whip, but the other men came up and dragged him off his hose, and rifled his pockets of six or seven sovereigns, and a cheque for 341., drawn on Bunny's Bank at Newbury; having accomplished the robbery, and without further violence, they got up the bank on tae road-side and decamped across the fiefs.
