ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. Ry er Praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts h ave been made to koei.„ th in the scope and operation of the laws of mortality and Stalet( e , `lle savings of the Industrious classes, as well as various cal kiteeina regulating their distribution, having for their object either contingent, or deferred benefits. Stre e irgot examination, however, will demonstrate that the con- Item a . O of these associations or societies is defective; and that in- Sad o °, affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, 17 :°uld be the through of every one they confine too nar ed - atla,ln 2„roPortion as their action is circumsc ribed and embarrassed, r , - 411 ; L u t7 Is limited. For example, it is not to ever y individual class amongst the industrious community, that provision traußiekness is an object of such importa nce as to call for a 'Sacrifice; while to others such a pro vision a pp ears more eve, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk F Thi n ' , men they desire to be guardea. For this anomalous state sities et es there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, %Ro e covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or rnore be eet Fent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate should have its separate contribution. I wo lB to not having observed this rule, and to the association of W indier functions, and by confounding a sick allowance and %I ', 'lll4 - utY fund in one and the self-same paym ent, that much of the 7, d7 mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. Alk. tn " l echanistn can be so perfect for the management of a sick - tititi o ' n d Provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asse t:se: and watchfulness ef the several members c omposing it. By Isis e ' e arls a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and A titt i l ialt the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. / Ole set same perfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable ‘4lllO. - l and is to be accumulated through a succession of years, seers results arc to bear out calculations, money investment IFOr la general beyond the experience o f the industrious classes. these reasons it is clear that the finds destined for a provision in 1 1 1! should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a l e ion for old age :- aatir lft ; le icause the laws of sickness and mortality , thou g h a pp arently aa• ..ed. do not depend on the same calculation. Akrge r u ‘ s cause there are a great number who , in order to secure a lee „_Pro vision in old age are willing to take the risk of p roviding ' 4r‘?a ble sickness on themselves. fined to the responsibility of managing a p rovision for old age, I Vlth , to a distant period is, in a great me asure, incompatible ~t 441 11,eoluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre allesiTilitY, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of titaki r ritract , that when undertaken on the same principles that , b 7 govern commercial bodle,. mated . - ”ecarise the expenses of providing for sickness must, when lay m ,.'n the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi -114;* more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en- Ei atth h um . e one for the sake of the other. a t u the P'ed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge di scussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing ant Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here ▪ ad nod, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing gug a remedy for those fold other evils ; and in this manner kid l e a n additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, th eca it aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding • after Para the risk - s of sudden dissolution. tirs eostd ua f irch diligent search amon Ist the combinations ingeniously Neese "n time to time for the attainment of one of the principal 111.11, 011 .

There's style in its make which few partake, And beauty surpas-'d by none ; And it plainly shows that the mart for clothes Is the Mart of E. MOSES and SON. Then here's to the suit-the prime new salt- Which Wands in its make alone : May it spread the fame of MOSES' name, Already so widcy known. In the days of old no dress was sold Like the suit whose praise I sing ; High price was paid in the tailoring trade for a far inferior thing. E. MOSES and SON have nobly done In selling a suit like this - Which has proved to be " just the ticket" for me, Having nothing at all amiss. Then here's to the suit-the prime new suit-, Which stands in its make alone ; May it spread the fame of MOSES' name, Already so widely known.

STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL MARKET. JUNE 11.—As usual at this season of the year, immediately preceding the arrival of the new clip, the business transacted in this market is on a c•nnparatively small scale. The accounts received from Breslau leave little room tor doubt that a considerable advance upon last year's prices will nil: at all the Ger man fairs, and we may report, as a natural consequence, a somewhat improved tone in the rates current in this market. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 11.—There is not any variation in this market to report during the present week—either as to extent of sales or quotations of prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 10.—The busi ness of this week has been much of the same character as it has been of late, with slow sales, by a gradual re duction in prices. As the new clip lass not yet come freely to market our stocks are but light, and upon some sort of hogs prices are pretty well supported, but if there be no increased demand for the manufactured ar ticle before our stocks accumulate we must expect lower prices. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET.—The markets for the sale of wool commences this day, and will be continued every Saturday until the 6th of August. Two addi tional markets will take place, viz., on the first Satur day in September and the first Saturday in October. It should he borne in mind, that the town-council have reduced the weighing toll to the amount of one half penny per stone. This includes all charges with respect to weighing, as well as of porterage to and from the scales,—an arrangement which cannot fail to meet the approbation of both seller and purchaser; evincing, at the same time, the desire of the council to afford every accommodation and facility, and promote the popularity and usefulness of the markets. • YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 10.—There has been a heavy market, and only a few buyers in attendance, but most of the wool shown was sold. Good hog realised 13s. 6d., hog and ewe lls. to 135., locks and cast Bs. to 10s. per stone of 141bs. TRADE or LEEDS.—We have had very dull markets at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday. This is principally ascribed to the present uncertain state of the corn markets. There is scarcely anything doing on speculation, and the purchases to order are lighter than we ever knew them at this period of the year. The stocks in the manufacturers' hands are light, and prices in consequence rule steady. This being be twixt the seasons, very little is doing by the home trade in the warehouses, but the American houses are pretty busy. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, JUNE 10.—The wool market was extremely dull. The sales were com paratively small. Prices were firmly maintained, inns much as wool cannot be bought of the farmers at a rate which will meet purchasers in this market. The yarn market continues in a very unsatisfactory state. There is more doing in the export trade, but not to any amount to relieve this branch of our manufacture. The spinners are mostly engaged to order. There was an average business done in the piece market, especially in dress goods. A considerable number of orders were also given for moreens. We consider that the American merchants are at present the principal purchasers in our market. There was oo alteration in price. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, i HURSDAY EVENING, — There is certainly no one iu the trade who can call to mind when the trade of this district was in so thoroughly depressed' and unsatisfactory a state as at this moment. Roth spinners and manufacturers seem as though quite resigned to carry on their concerns without profit, but would be too happy in doing so if it could only be done without absolute loss. This, however, cannot be done, aed the consequence is a further limitation of the hours every he p stapler o s f of l of reduced d th fu e l r l month, pere e the cent., consumption ascompa ed r labour, or a total closing of their mills ; and there is w ct il t l be that, in vith that twelve months ago. The home trade gives no sign of improvement. NoTTINGHADL—The cotton hose trade, especially the cut-up branches, continues in a stagnant condition, bodies of men having been out of employment for weeks. The wrought hose branch is in a dull state. The silk hosiery trade is half extinct, though there is yet hope, as the two principal houses in the trade that make good articles are in a much better state as regards employ ment for their hands, than those who have embarked in the slop trade.—Nottingham Review. LEICESTER.—There is scarcely any improvement in Our market since our last , and work has been given out very cautiously. Spinners continue still to work short tie, and yarns are extremely dull of sale. Wools are flat,at ices in favour of the stapler.—Leicester Journal. pr THE NEW PUBLICATIONS.—The following interest ing new works have just been published by Mr. Colburn, and may be had of all boolsellers :-1.

THE BOSJESMANS, OR BUSH PEOPLE, AT THE EGYP TIAN HALL.—Considerable amusement was created at this attractive exhibition on Saturday last, by the intro duction to the Bushmen of four Madagascar natives. Mr. Tyler, the gentleman under whose care the Bush people are, provided a few sweetmeats for the Madagas car men to hand to their countrymen. Nothing could exceed the delight the Bush people evinced at recognis inr, some of their own genus (if not the same tribe). Th e y proceeded to hug and kiss them with all the fer vour and affection evinced by people of a more civilised locality. One of the Madagascar men conversed with the youngest Bushman, which so overjoyed him, that he leaped from the platform, and could with difficulty be separated. The audience were also highly amused at the surprise exeited in the Bushman when Mr. Tyler showed td+e how to light the gas. He opened his mouth, and stared with imuttertib!e astonishment at the sudden ig the lighted taper. Altogether this se shihitim is d highlyby en tertaining, and dvserves the pa tronage which it appears to receive. Mr. Owen, at the conclusion, gave a very spirited lecture on these singular aborigines, which exoited cusider4ble Satisfaction. QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES. (From the Dispatch ) Mr. Editor,—We have an election in prospect more completely devoid of purpose than any which has occurred for many years. The " sense of the people" is about to be taken, and nobody knows upon what sub ject. There is no appeal to the constituencies by any party. In recent debates, or pending measures, no great antagonist principles have been brought into colli sion. Even the lower excitement of party preponder ancy is wanting. Nobody expects that the result can so strengthen Lord G. Bentinek's faction as to carry him in ; and nobody, except that faction, cares about keeping out Sir Robert Peel. Electors will go to the poll, simply because it is the time. Parliament approaches, as nearly as is customary, to its natural period of dissolution. No great harm would happen, nor any particular good that I know of, from the re-election of its Members in a lump. There will, probably, be some changes ; but it is the toss of a half penny whether they be for the better or the worse. Clouds and sunshine affect us far more, just now, than Whigs and Tories. The aspect of a corn field is much more important than that of a canvassing-book. Foreign grain is the question ; not foreign policy. This indif ference of the public mind does not stop the custom of cross-examining our candidates. It often multiplies questions in proportion as theirimportance is diminished. Every conundrum of a clique, or crotchet of an indivi dual, has its chance. Instead of having to stand the dis charge of a cannon, whose ball strikes him dead if it hits at all, the aspirant is peppered with perpetual small shot, the largest of which is only some silly stuff about cen tralisation or Sunday schools. As to what will come of it all, safer were it to pretend to prophecy the winner of next year's Derby. And yet, under these uneseitiug and unpropitious circumstances, the country's representatives and legis lators must be chosen ; and the power so conferred, whether on the wise or the foolish, the knavish or the honest, may continue for seven long years to come. Surely, then, it is a fitting season for the mind of every elector who feels the sacredness of his trust, to advert to the general principles of Government and the perma nent wants of the people. If candidates do not know what to say to us, we should know what to say to them. The compromises of parties, and the pettiness of per sonal pretension, should not sink into littleness the powers of a great nation over the policy of its rulers. If blue and yellow are only symbols of party or paltry interests, electors should start questions indicative of those which are great and national. Amongst these may come foremost, " What do you intend to do with the taxation of the country?" "To put as much of it as we can into our own pockets," would in many cases be the most honest answer that could be given. But the language of such a reply would not be Parliamentary. It is least likely to be made when it is most likely to be meant. The subject will be evaded, for the sake of future Chancellors of the Ex chequer. Perhaps the candidate will pledge himself to vote for the repeal of some local or class burden, by way of a sap to his influential constituents. The interest of the people requires a complete revision of our whole system of taxation. The corn-laws were only a single item of abuse. They took from the consumers and tne industrious, to the advantage of the possessors of pro perty. In this, there was nothing peculiar. The Customs and Excise do the same thing through the whole round of their operations. Every article that we purchase from another country is obviously the dearer for an import duty. Every articie of home production is the dearer for the Excise. When we see returns of the millions raised by duties on tea, sugar, tobacco, or soap, there is often a misty nation in people's minds that the sugar, &c. pay so much to the Government. It is reckoned a tax on articles, and not on persons. Non sense ! It is the man who drinks tea, and sweetens it, and smokes, and washes, that pays the money. He is the paymaster, just the same as it the duty were levied on the act. Suppose a policetnau keeping the key of the caddy, and demanding pence for the spoonfuls be fore they go into the teapot. Or standing at the shaver's elbow, and stopping the brush when it begins to twirl in the soap-dish, until the proportionate cash has legalized the lather. If the plan were practicable, we would pay less this way ; and the trade arising from importa tion would not be checked. In fact, we tax trade, we tax cheap drinking, we tax cleanliness ; and we leave comparatively untaxed the inheritance of large revenues for which no service is ren dered to the State. Out of fifty millions of annual tax ation property pays rather more than two,- consumption and industry pay the remaining forty-eight. That is to say, they are paid by the masses. They are taken from those who have only what they earn. The proprietary of Great Britain contributes the merest trifle towards the cost of protecting and governing Great Britain. All taxation is essentially an insurance of the safety of pro perty, and that insurance is mainly paid by industry. Folks are gulled because the tax is paid indirectly. Their hands are not actually put into their pockets for it at the bidding of a collector. The trick Is - done out of sight. We do not see the machinery of Customhouse leger demain. The cotton free traders have carried their point, but the tea and sugar free traders, the snuff, cigar, and French wine free traders, the soap-suds free traders are left in the lurch. There will they re main till they bestir themselves. The election is an op portunity. No man deserves a vote who is not for re moving the burden of taxation from industry, and laying it upon property. Education is also a topic of permanent concern, and which requires to be put on th e broadest principle . The sects are all making thei r mar ket of it; and the esta blished sect in particular. Th e Bishop of Exeter wa nts to quarter the unemployed clergy on the school-house. He would make it a refuge for the clerical destitute. If there be not a spare parish for the priest, make him a pedagogue. Education grants may thus become a sort of poor-law for the parsons. Those who have not talent enough for the pulpit, or not interest enough for a living—" stickit Ministers," as such forlorn abortions are called in Scotland—will come upon the school for relief. Let the Lord Harry of Exeter alone for turning a penny of public money. He thinks of the pence, while Dissenting bigots think of the Papists. The Me thodists who insist on a Protestant version of the Bible, are not less perverters of National Education. There is practi cally an end of instruction for the masses, beyond drilling into the catechisms of different creeds, unless we revert to the gronnd originally taken by the Government, and of late so pusillanimously abandoned—that of providing the means of what is called secular education for all, and leaving churches to supply the theology. The difficulties of this plan have passed away. Its adoption would not cost the Whigs their places. Their faint hearts need not palpitate. Dr. Hook cleared sh e w ay for them. All sects and parties would have acquiesced ; they will still acquiesce, if the plan is revived with a determined pur pose. Those electors who really care for national edu cation may exert themselves with decisive effect. Let them disregard the petty exclusions or appropriations at which sects are aiming. Let them go direct to the sup ply of the great popular want. Let them ask, " Are you, or are you not, for securing to all the means of in struction, leaving theology to the voluntary supply of those concerned ?" The p )or-law should not be forgotten ; especially that very much neglected part of the subject, the burden of the rates upon the poor. An objection is often made to dealing kindly and liberally witn paupers, that the ex pense pauperises the rate-payers, who are struggling hard for their own subsistence. The feet is certain ; but the inference that the paupers should, therefore, be squeezed and stinted, is most fallacious. There is another way of ceasing to pauperise the struggling poor by the pressure of poor-rates. That other way is, not to exact poor-rates at all from the poor. The theory of the income-tax is, that every man should be exonerated from paying. in that form, to the State, who has less than 150/. a year. Yet, how many are assessed for public charity who earn leas than the half of that amount. The goods of the starving are seized for the expenses of a starvation law. The faces of the poor are ground to pay for the grind stone. The State is niggardly charitable to the entirely paupers, out of the pittances of semi and three-quarter paupers. And this system is intended to last. The Poor-law Reformers expend their fury on the Com missioners. The Ministry will cast Jonas overboard to still the storm. And t he p a y in g poor, and the destitute poor, are left, if they like, to go to the dogs, or the devil'Timetogether.and s p a ce allowing, there are th ree o th er t op i cs which I would enlarge upon. as well deserving legis lative attention, du rin g the next s eptennial period of Parliamentary exi stence.

If electors ask no questions, candidates will make no promises. It is true, indeed, that hustings' promises are commonly classed with lovers' vows. But if we cannot secure integrity, the next best thing is, to expose inconsistency. The ready tools of a Ministry or party may be despoiled of the plea that the people are indit ferent. We m ay be true to ourselves, in this, our rarely recurring opportunity. And questions of principle, calmly and firmly put, may prove the more impressive from the absence of party excitement. It would do legislators a world of good to make them feel that they an d determined people.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—TiIe Frolic, 16, Commander C. 13. Hamilton, was paid off yesterday in a manner so o.derly and expeditiously as never to have been equalled at Oil: pre The high estimation in which Commander Hamilton held his crew may be judged from the fact of their having had leave granted them on the day prior to paying off to go ashore, and returning to the ship per fectly sober, and within the time allowed them—a cir cumstance in itself so perfectly illustrative of the excel lent discipline of the vessel that we deem it worthy of special comment. It is a feature which never came under our observation in connexion with any other ship paid off at this port. The Frolic, after four years and a half service on the South American station, has returned home with the same masts and rigging she went out with—a fact which in these days of dockings and re-dockings (every alternate month with some vessels) speaks very forcibly in favour of her construc tion. She has been exceedingly healthy, and outsailed some of the fastest merchantmen afloat. This is her first commission, having been built at this port in 1842 upon the design of Captain Hendry, R.N. She is of 511 tons. The Vengeance, 84, Captain S. Lushington, is rapidly fitting for sea-going service. A further detachment of marines, with Lieutenants Aslett and Ward, • joined yesterday. Commander Altham, late of the flag-ship Winchester, is appointed to her, and Lieutenant Rogers, her First Lieutenant, is appointed First of the St. Vincent. Lieutenant Bickford, a most efficient and smart officer, is now First Lieutenant of the Vengeance, which, when equipped, will be one of the most efficient and ably commanded two-deckers in the world. Her ultimate destination is not decided on. She will join Sir' C. Napier's squadron, as we stated some time since, for a trial cruise, and eventually, it is expected, carry his flag. During ,the time Captain Lnshington has had her, although employed in the most contami nating service, she has not lest a man by sickness, de sertion, or accident, neither has any member of her crew been punished. The Pandora pilot-boat, Collins, of Dover, landed here this morning mails and passengers from the Thames, Captain Barclay, which sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, on the 20th of April. Among the latter were Captain Robeson, of the Ist West India Regiment, and family ; Dr. Morales, Mrs. Morales, and family. The Pandora spoke the North Star, from St. Übes, bound to the Baltic, off Dunnose, on the 12th inst., ten days out. The Alarm, 26, Captain Lock, was at Sacrificios on the 29th, with the yellow fever on board. Mr. Lowe, her Second Lieutenant, was one of the earliest victims. She was about to put to sea at the date of our letter to recruit the health of her ship's company, but she cannot remain long absent, Captain Lock being senior officer. The Fairy royal yacht having been re-embellished, was undocked yesterday, re-masted, and removed from the basin to her moorings. The Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander M'Cle verty, is ready to leave at half an hour's notice with dis patches for Lisbon. Captain M'Cleverty took those he brought on Thursday to the Admiralty himself, per spe cial engine, on the South-Western Railway. The Poly phemus made a splendid passage from Lisbon to this harbour, having performed the journey in three days and fifteen hours ' • one day was very foul, which ma kes the time occupied in performing the journey longer than it otherwise would have been. This is the quickest run made between Lisbon and this port since the commence ment of the Portuguese revolution. Captain WCleverty is expected down this evening with the dispatches. The Daring, 12, Commander Peel, was at Vera Cruz on the 2d of May. The Persian, 16, Commander Cory ton, left Jamaica on the 27th of April to relieve her, when she would proceed to Halifax. His Swedish and Norwegian Majesty's ship Fredicks yarn, Captain Count de Trampe, is expected at this port. She has been in the Downs some days. The experimental squadron seem slow in getting to Spithead, the St. Vincent and Howe being_ the only members at present at that rendezvous. The Vengeance, Avenger, and Odin, are getting ready with all dispatch in the harbour and basin. THE PACIFIC STATION. TherollingwoO3, 80, Captain Smart, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir G. Seymour, Commander-in-Chief, was at Callao on the 14th of April, a letter of which date says, " We sailed from Valparaiso on the 25th of March, and arrived here on the 33 of April, all well and comfortable. We expect to remain at Callao about two months more, then sail for Valparaiso, and arrive there in August, refit, and wait for our relief, which having arrived, we sail for England." The Herald, 26, Captain Kellett; the Pandora, 10, Lieutenant-Commander Wood; and the Sampson steam frigate, Captain Henderson, wore at Panama on the 23d of April. The Spy, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Wool dridge, was at Callao on the 21st April, having arrived prior to the 12th from Otaheite, touching at Pitcairn's Island (where everything was flourishing) and Val paraiso. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, was at Arica Bay on the 23d of April, collecting freight for the Collingwood to bring home. The Grampus, 50, Captain H. B. Martin, was at Otaheite on the 10th of February. The Otaheiteaus at that date had surrendered the island to the French. The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, left Otaheite on the 4th February, for the Navigator's slands. The Constance, 50, Captain Sir B.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 13.—The importance of the royal steam navy to this country, and the great responsibility devolving on the engineers of that branch of her Ma jesty's service, having rendered it advisable to hold out greater inducements than have hitherto been offered, to insure talented and fully competent engineers remaining in the royal navy, when great advantages and high pay were offered by private companies, and high rank and pay by foreign Governments, the following rules and re gulations have been made, for the benefit of the engi neers of the royal steam navy of Great Britain:— " Admiralty, May 31, 1847. " Her Majesty having been pleased by her Order in Council of the 27th of February to sanction a new clas sification for engineers in the royal navy, with certain alterations as to the appointment, rank, and pay of these officers, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you the accompanying copies of the rules and regulations respecting the exa mination, rank, pay, and appointment of engineers under the new establishment. But at the same time I am to acquaint you that all engineers at present in the service are to be continued at their present scale of pay and al lowances, rank, and denomination, until they shall be promoted into the new establishment, when they are to be furnished with pay documents up to that date, and their names are to be removed on the ship's books from the fourth list ' Warrant Officers,' to the second list Commission Officers,' civil branch. " Those engineers who draw bills for their pay as warrant officers may include the residue of that pay in the first quarterly bill they may draw on the new esta blishment, great care being taken that the period of ser vice and the amount of pay on each list be clearly distin guished on the bill; but those who have not drawn bills, having allotment in force, are to draw their quarterly bills from the date of promotion only, and the captain or commanding officer is to notify without loss of time, by letter, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, the date of promotion, in order that the allotments may be stopped. " By command of their Lordships, WARD."

The VA, :: - - . -K.- , indicates, is taken from that page in elleifi'etory this country when, after the battle of Culloden, the adherents of Charles Stuart were hunted down and execr.ted without much ceremony or forms of law. Major Murray (Mr. Howe), one - of these proscribed Jacobites, is an object of interest to Lady Somerford (Miss Fortescue), a young widow, whose ample for tune is coveted by her late husband's cousin, Sir Richard Wroughton (Mr. Stuart), and to possess which he determines, If possible, to compel her to marry him. Sir Richard is a staunch royalist, with powerful interest at Court, which Lady Somerford prevails on him to employ to procure the pardon of the young major, who is concealed in the neighbour hood. Sir Richard yields to her wishes, and obtains the pardon, but determines not to give it to Lady Somerford unless she consents to give him her hand. A note from the lady to the major, appointing a rendezvous at the Crooked Billet, a little roadside public house, is dropped by Patty Pottle (Miss Reynolds), her confidante and mes senger,picked up by Sir Richard, whose jealous suspicionsand i ar s e aroused, though the note is without signature, and he resolves to wait at The Crooked Billet until the unknown writer appears. Patty, ter rified lest Lady Somerford's secret should be disco has been changed from " The Crooked Billet" to vered, persuades Sir Richard that t he p lace of meetin g " The Greyhound," whither he hastens, after having engaged Duck (Mr. Buckstone), the devoted lover of Patty Pottle, to report to him faithfully everything that happens during his absence at " The Crooked Billet." Sir Richard is to give Duck a hundred pounds for this service, and the latter resolves to per form it most accurately; with this intention he con ceals himself in a linen chest, which Mrs. Pottle (Mrs. Stanley) locks, and nearly stifles Duck, who is at length obliged to call for help while the Major and Lady Somerford are engaged in con versation. The lady escapes, and the major breaks open the chest and drags out the half-smothered Duck, who receives from Major Murray two hundred pounds not to mention to Sir Richard anything he had heard or seen while in the chest—a promise that he cannot break, as he was totally unconscious of all that passed in the room after the chest had been locked. Sir Richard returns, and obtaining no information from Duck, orders him to be seized and carried to gaol.. The same evening Major Murray, under an assumed name, obtains by stratagem the situation of secretary to Sir Richard, and is present on the following morn ing, when the prisoner Duck is brought up to bek examined by Sir Richard, who hopes still to wrest the truth from him as to the meeting at The Crooked Billet on the previous evening. There he recognises, in the secretary, the person who had given him two hundred guineas to say nothing, and he falls into the mistake that the stranger had. come to meet Patty,. privately. Mad with jealousy, he accuses him of the crime to Sir Richard, who is, however, not so easily led astray—a strict investigation takes plase, which ends by Major .Murray's identity being discovered, and his life placed in the hands of his enemy. One way of saving his life alone remains : if Lady Somer ford will marry Sir Richard, or make over to him all her property, he consents to give her the pardon which he holds. She hesitates ; and be, to show his determination, places the pardon in the grate, and with a lighted candle is prepared to set in a blaze if she refuses. At this critical moment Duck, who had climbed up the wide chimney, endeavouring to es cape, comes tumbling down, covered with soot ; he seizes the royal pardon, gives it to Lady Somerford, who gives to her lover life and a wife at the same time. Buckstone's drolleries kept the house in perpetual screams of laughter ; his scene with Mur ray after he is dragged out of the chest,,and his jealous scene in the second act, were irresistibly humorous. Miss Fortescue's Lady Somerford was an easy and interesting personation, without being very dramatically striking. Miss Reynolds played with great vivacity in the part of pretty Patty Pot tle; she sang a song which was much applauded. The other characters were very well sustained by Mr. Howe, Mr. Stuart, and Mrs. Stanley. The ap plause on the fall of the curtain was most enthusias tic ; and the piece was given out by Mr. Buckstone for repetition every evening amidst reiterated plaudits. The piece would, however, be much improved if the first act were greatly curtailed. LYCEUM THEATRE. On Friday evening the very successful career of this establishment, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, was brought to a premature close, in consequence of the misunderstanding which had arisen with Mr. Arnold, and with the particulars of which misunderstanding our readers are already well acquainted. It is unnecessary for us to observe more of this final night of an unusually prosperous theatrical managership than by saying that it was ap propriately the benefit-night of the two Keeleys, and that the performances were Martin Chuzzlewit, Jenny Lind, and the Bottle Imp. The entertainment was vociferously and deservedly applauded throughout, and, at the conclusion, Mrs. Keeley stepped to the footlights, and feelingly delivered the following Farewell Address from the pen of Mr. Albert Smith : To night, dear friends, no lightly-worded string Of jests and puns to raise your laugh I bring : No promises of novelty in store To please you, can I make, as heretofore. I come but now to thank you for the past ; Since here we meet for the last time—the last. Yet as the soldier tired of war's alarms, Loves to recount his by-gone deeds of arms Fain would I name, before we part for good, A few old friends who firmly by us stood ; Since first Young Bailey came—the wilful scamp, With that good woman, " which her name was Gazip.' Then, listening to The Chimes, no wrongs could turn The love of Meggy Veck from Lillian Fern, Next, in the Cricket on the Hearth's shrill sound Poor Dot—" That's me again, John,"—comfort found. And lastly, in Lire's Battle sorely tried, Clemency Newcome rubbed her arms and cried. Turn we from the great writer of the age To other gayer friends who trod this stage. First, of the tribe burlesque upon our roll, Forty fair Thieves your early favour stole. Then young Aladdin brought before our lights More gorgeous stores from the Arabian Nights. Next bold Sir Valentine obtained your praise, And savage Orson danced his truandaise. Then, turn'd again by Bow bells' nursery air, Little Dick Whittington became Lord Mayor; And from the kitchen, where she long had pined, Poor Cinderella felt your welcome kind. What wondrous objects followed in their course; Prince Firouz Schah and his Enchanted Horse ; Bold Robin Hood, and dashing Little John, The Magic Horn, and cup of Oberon, The Enchanted Forest, and its strange live stock, Till the bl ood Damon cried, " Past one o'clock It has been urged by critics most profound, Our efforts might have taken higher ground: That we threw o'er the grand for the grotesque, And gave our chief attention to burlesque. But if the top:es of the day were hit By pointed epigram or harmless wit; Or Care's dull, gloomy visage was beguiled Into a lighter train of thought, and smiled— If you but felt, whilst laughing at our fun, The sands of common life more brightly run, Surely you will not " such small deer" abuse For answering one grand object—to amuse. And now, the saddest task is left. To all, Who thus tonight, responded to our call, With more deep feeling than mere words can tell, Let me but speak that cruel one—Farewell! One hope alone can rob it of its pain— That, at some period, we may meet again!" Mrs. Keeley retired with some emotion at the warmth of the greeting from the audience, evinced in continued plaudits and showers of bouquets. A voice in the galleries enquired of Keeley "'Where shall we see you again F' to which he replied " Somewhere and soon, I hope." Those who will coincide in this aspiration, we are sure, will be very numerous , and very sincere. Mr. a nd Mrs. Keeley carry with them the good will and kindly sympathies of the public, on their temporary withdrawal behi nd the scenes. re, - - was de aptuoosseptprooonrceedt: PRINCESS'S THEATRE .-- A new comic drama, under the title of Ladies !
