" The general committee, on the occasion of meeting the proprietors at. this annual assembly, are ratified in being negotiation, with the late lessees, for thb purpose able to state that, after having devoted nuch time to the an end to the double letting, under witigh the theatre had been demised since the year 1849, they hive succeeded in obtaining a surrender of the term remaining unexpired under such letting ; and, having thus succeeded in their endeavour to restore matters more nearll to their former past, and will look forward with more confidence to_ the future. In consequence of what has Ipen above stated, of putting the committee have been enabled tu giant a lease to Mr. E. T. Smith, who is the present lessee, it the annual rent of 4,0001., being the same amount as was reserved under, the double letting. With respect t o th e present decorative state of the theatre, the committee beg to state, for the information of the proprietors, that in the recent lease, under which Messrs. Jullien and Prye held the theatre, was contained a covenant to expend in the Past season a sum of 5001. in Substantial and decorative re pairs, and which they were ready to perfn - rn ; yet of such primary importance did the' committee consider the sur render of the remainder of the term, tint they deemed it prudent to forego a portion of the ameant stipulated to be by Messrs. Jullien and Gyo expended the committee receiving the money, instead of its being laid out by the late lessees; by means of which nearly be whole of the works which appeared to be necessary has, under the superintendence of the architect, been gadually effected, during the summer recess, by Mr. Pallier, who has been many years employed at Drury-lane Thettre, and who has charge, on the part of the proprietors wardrobe and properties departments; and the cobmiEterictas , now congratulate the proprietors upon the pusent state of the interior of the theatre, which, in pott of decorative embellishment and accommodation, is 110 t surpassed by any other theatre in this me+ropolis. As regards the financial position of the propel ty, the Payment already made to the renters is only an instalment in respect of the present seaso e, and, although small in amoent, it is hoped that it may be augmented from time to time, as funds come to the hands of the committee, from the resources of their lessee and otherwise, to enable then to make a fur ther payment to the renters. The committee have to state that, notwithstanding the difficulties with which Mr. Smith had to contend, in point of time for prep a ration previous to his opening the theatre, as well as disappointments in his managerial arrangements for Easter (which compelled an earlier closing than was otherwise i ntended), he has proceeded gradually towards the liquidation of the amount of his rent for the theatre to the present period. With reference to the prospects for the future, the committ ee are i nformed that Mr. Smith contemplates (with the con currence of the committee) introducing shortly at Drury-lan e Th ea t re an English operatic patronage, c° Novem ber, and a part of December. The sum of 1,349 /. 4 s. Bd., being one year', rent, has been paid to thegro nn d l an dl ord the Duke of Bedf or d, to whom the committee f ee l it mpn during y theof celebrity,na tlof October, and un d er distin guishedno s in cumbent on them to express their ack nowledgments for the indulgence and forbearance which bis grace has ex tended towards the property in times of emergencg, arising from the non-receipt of the rent from various persons who have been unsuccessful in their theatrical enterpri ses . The heavy amount of rates and taxes under which this estab lishment suffers has also been paid, as well as the other demands for salaries, and nearly the whole of the expenses for the year which has passed since the committee last had the pleasure of meeting the proprietors in general assembly. The cash receipts of the season, by lessee's rent and other incidental sources, have amounted to the sum of 3,720/. 13s. 6d., whilst on the other hand the payments amount to 3,6741. 17s. 7d., the final accounts of which, as audited, are now laid before the proprietors. In concludin g this report, tho c o mm itt ee t rus t the steps they h ave taken during the past year, and the arrangement by which they have effected the termination of the late mode under which the theatre was let, will meet with the approbation of the proprietors, and be the means of raising the position of Drury-lane Theatre." A PROPRIETOR wished to know for what term the theatre had been leased to Mr. Smith ? The CHAIRMAN said it was optional with Mr. Smith to go on, or with the committee to put an end to the agreement, which was for seven years. The lease wns deLrminabl© upon six months' notice on either side. Another PROPRIETOR—What amount of rent has he paid in the six months ? Mr. BURGESS—Eighteen hundred and odd pounds., Mr. PYEFINCH understood that the terms upon which Mr. Smith had the theatre were to be acted on strictly ; and that the moment he failed in paying up his rent, the committee were to act promptly in terminating the engagement. He believed the arrangement was made because Mr. Smith was a stranger to them, and there fore they could not have the same confidence in him they might have had in others whom they were better acquainted with. The small sum that ho proposed to start with, and the little security that appeared to be to the committee, had, he understood, determined them to terminate the agre,3ment the moment he failed to meet his engagements with them. As he understood from tbc repot t that had just been read, Mr. Smith was now in arrear ; and he wanted to know how it was that he was still permitted to go on. He was under the impression that the moment he failed in his engagement the lease would be put an end to, seeing that Mr. Smith did not occupy the position that a gentleman renting that thea tre possibly ought to occupy, and that it was the duty of the committee to run no risk of loss. He should like to know how long it was since Mr. Smith bad failed in paying up his rent. Mr. BURGESS said that on the 11th of February he failed in his payment, and about a month since he re sumed paying. Mr. PrBFINCH would ask whether it was fair to have allowed him to go on in that way? He did not think that such a proceeding, any more than the management of Mr. Smith, was calculated to raise the theatre to the position it ought to occupy. How was it that Drurj lane, the most eli g ibl e dramatic property in the worl, should be in it s present most deplorable condition? A'most every other theatrical property in London, was comparatively successful/ while this was most unsuc cessful. He asked the committee to consider, for a me ment, whether they were not, to some degree in fault. No doubt they h a d done all they could, as honourable men ; but he asked whether, as commercial men, they might not have done better. That they had been very lenient to Mr. Smith was very eNident, and it struck him that the theatre was likely to lose its charact3r in a dramatic point of view. Tney had grantcd Mr. Smith very indulgent terms, and they had a llowed him to gp on still without paying the ba l ance due. It was hardly fair that such should be the case. It was doing no credit to the theatre, in his est; - ration. If they lookci back at the way the theatre had been recently conducted, they had nothing to congzatulah themselves upon, and they ought to bear in mind that "an empty house fs better than a bad tenant." Let them look at the spi rited management of Mr. Kean —look at the manage ment of Mr. Webster. If they went .7,,vm Sadler's Wells to the Haymarket, eve:y one of them was decidedly more successful than Drury-lane. The CHAIRMAN said the honourable proprietor had mistaken the case very much, and he could assure him that neither the committee nor Mr. Smith were very much to blame. The theatre had been let formerly under very peculiar circumstances, and by a species of joint tenancy. Tha:; was thought advisable some years ago, as an experiment, but it h a d most certa i n l y f a il e d] and it had been the cause of the want of success on the pal t of Mr. Bunn, and also, h a great measure, the cause of that of Mr. Smith, Before the tenancy of Messrs. Sullien and Gye was put an end to they had a lease for half the year, from Suns to December, and their promenade concerts lasted ti" that paled, The Co isequence was that the lessee could not come in and prepare for his winter catiipaign ) which was always the most profitable pair; of the season, atid he seldom had more than ten or twelve days to prepare and bring out his pantomime. lie had no opportunity of rehearing it in consequence of the continuance of the promenade concerts, and undoubtedly the pantomime was a great source of profit to the lessee for some six or eight Weeks after ChtiStitiasi The ‘ promenade concerts destroyed all hope of that. Mt. ftitli had come to them and had taken the theatre, notwithstanding all those difficultie staring him in the face. He was n o t f u lly aware o f a ll these difficulties until he had got into operation, and he had experienced the same failures as firmer lessees frond the Same Causes. The Committee had been for several months endeavouring Ed get rid of thi s j o i n t tenane y lease, and after more labour thaii be (Lord Glengall bad experienced in connection with the theatre for th I last 20 years, they had accomplished it. (Hear, bor.) They had succeeded, and had now got the theatre com pletely into their own possession, without any of those intricacies, or terms, or conditions which Mr. Anderson WAS foolish enough to consent to when he made the agree ment with Messrs. Sullied and (lye. For instance, he' could not play Italian operas or perform promenade concerts ; he could not even perform German operas ; and, in fact, when Anderson made these foolish terms, he was under the impression that dramatic representa tion alone would carry the town, and they were al', un fortunately, well aware of the result. In the present case, Mr. Smith, having taken the' theatre at a late period of the year, found that he could not get a com pany, every performers of any degree 'of celebrity being engaged elsewhere. He tried several experiment, but they failed, and losses came thickly and heavily upon him, and he was compelled to close, but now Mr. Smith had got it free from all obstacles, he was under no re sposibility, and could do as he pleased, and he had no doubt that by letting him go on he would be enabled to get back his losses and pay up b arrears. He was about entering into an engagement is ith an admirable company for the performance of Enesh opera. Some of the artists were, he understood, first-rate people, and they proposed to commence early in October. Mr. Smith was remarkably well backed, and he put it to the j proprietors present whether it was not more udifzious to continue him as their tenant. Mr. PYBEINCH, with all due deference, ho would sub mit that Mr. Smith had not the ideas or the capacity that would enable him to conduct a large theatre like Drury-lane, If they compared the management of Macready and Smith, they would see in the former evidences of a master mind. Mr. SPENCER said no doubt the' receipts w ere very large in the time of Macready, but so also •Ntre the losses, and the reilt was paid out of his own purse, not - 688 73 6 24,913 2,920 937 2,809 3,830 1,11 9 2,22 5 680 30,98 5 tral, 01° bduect d bilk y a s oil r fret la at an d 3d, all ( ' hoilia ,$ ca b:6 rear' ,I )5 7cl nisbelf 2Ss 0'1; • - an ci tirtia tt late 17 ; 15 6 15 6 16 0 23 A lsiv e 6 raft,' 110 * f 0 3reo'i ivi 4 ndo of of 0 1,42 1 24 6 1,027 1,489 26,74 5 '26,40 16, 452 8,242 21,7 52 3,604 • Alto oti; osal; 0(1 ) 4 6 1 1 c 35-1" 0 ,16 0 ,1 6 0 ,16 a at to' iu f°.,' Lan' 200' ll 4 i ; _"®'`: AUDITORS, C A PEL CURE, Esq.; rucl H.

This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair —produces a thick and luxuriant grow h—cleanses it 'om Scurf arid Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; andin the growth of WsnsxEns, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, It is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-c - mb unnecessary.

Those who may have imagined that Lord Seaton had, by this time exhausted all the resources of his genius as a military tactician, and had taxed to its utmost limit his power of introducing variety into military move ments, would have been most agreeably surprised if they had witnessed the field-day of Saturday. Brilliant as have been many of those.speetacles of mimic warfare, andinterestiogand suggestive asve the movements must have been even to the most — unprofiiiiiihialOriFetatefs; it is impossible to deny that the evolutions of Saturday surpassed without exception any which had before taken place, and, but for an accident of a somewhat serious nature, to which we shall presently allude, the proceed ings of the day would have been still more brilliant and remarkable. The manoeuvres of the day were intended to illustrate an unsuccessful attack on the enemy's camp, the repulse and defeat of the attacking army, and their ultimate rallying, storming, and taking possession of the camp. The encampment itself was the subject of the attack, and the retreat was made over the series of heights on the eastern extremity of the common. It is certainly no discredit to Lord Seaton to say of him that he an d a phpaesasrhs shown n o excel hi in t m sel f in he thisar o p f a r in ti a c k ui i ng a g ood ar, as iono others, retreat, a most skilful and able general. Tf the troops encamped at Chobham should ever be brought into actual service, although w their g r e t e r a u i s t e t k h i a l l t i t n h e y may never retreating have a before the occ enemysio to , ' n the general should be called upon to decide between the making a good retreat or fighting a bad battle, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the experience of Chobham will serve the troops well in the case of the former alter native being adopted. The difficulties connected with covering a retreat are too obvious to need pointing out to the most superficial of observers. It is not to be wondered at if Lord Seaton, having served in the Penin sula under Wellington, should have learned something from the cautious and unrivalled strategy of his great i i uncovered whole ho le always of the in ; m and, ainr ydm , except will I ring commander. The same grea t pr i nc i p l es o f ca ution which are so cha rac t er i st i c of Wellington ' s campa i gns are seen to pervade, u p on a sma l l scale, all the movements o f th e troops at Ch o bh am. N o flank is left unprotecte d , no pointerstpossess ea the this when the f a t e o f t h e day is to be decided by an advance of the the upon reserve v force r a i r s e n o o c t c occasion?, called into action. The spectator,, keyg eat cahlalrtahce tmanoeuvres which he may witness at Chobham, and may account for each m ovement of the various bodies of troops with as much accuracy as an experienced chess player can detect from the "moves" the intention of his antagonist. _ The whole of the troops were ordered out for parade at 11 o'clock, but, in consequence of the continuous and heavy fall of rain, they did not then turn out, but waited accoutred in their respective camps, ready at a moment's notice. Shortly after hat f-past 11 the "turn-out" was sounded, and the whole of the brigades marched off to the valley in front of the encampment. Major-General Fane's brigade, consisting of the 42d, 50th, and 95th, occupied a position opposite its own encampment, but the right and left flanks of the camp exchanged posi tions, thus bringing the brigade of Guards on the right, and General Evans's brigade on the left, of the line. After being thus placed, each regiment counter. marched by sub-divisions around the centres of bat talions, thus completely changing, by a most beautiful and well-executed movement, the position of the respec tive reg . ments in each brigade. The whole division now formed line, en echelon of bi:gades, after which each battalion formed double column of companies in rear of the centre, and remained thus formed for a short time. 'Occupying- as they 'lid this position i# tteVifky, with the gentle ri, heights close behind them, the scene which the varied uniforms of the 9 regiments presented was one of great beauty. The field batteries were placed on the heights ; one battery protecting the flank of each brigade. The cavalry were assembled in contiguous column on the right of the infantry with the Horse Ar tillery on the extreme right. The infantry bugle now sounded the "Extend," and the two centre companies of each battalion of the whole division of brigades were thrown out as skirmishers, and commenced firing in the direction of the encampment, the spectators crowding the small eminences acting for the enemy upon this occasion, in place of the familiar whits and red jacketed Grena diers and Sappers. After the sxirmishers' firing had continued for some time the remaining companies of the first brigade—the 93d, the Rifles, and the 38th—ad vanced through the line of skirmishers, formed line, and supported by a field battery commenced a rapid and most terrific file fire on the encampment of the brigade of Guards, which continued far nearly half an hour, and in which upwards of 20 rounds were expended. The reader will now please to suppose at this time either that the Guards were " up and at 'em," or that the specta tors were advancing with umbrel'as and opera-glasses. supported by irregular cavalry, coaches, vans, and sun dry other kinds of ve hi c l es , l a d en w ith provisions and ammunition, or that some other cause has spread a panic through the ranks of this light brigade. For they have now ceased fire, and, covered by their skirmishers, their line is now falling back, and marching away in quick time by the rear of the second light brigade, passing by the famed 42d, the pugnacious 50th, and the gallant 95th, till they have obtained a shelter from their avenging pursuers at the rear of the brigade of the Guards—when they suddenly disappear, as though some portions of the swamps of Chobham had engulphed them. No such dire catas trophe had, however, occurred, for the whole brigade had merely laid down in the heather, concealed from observation, and resting from their fatigues. Major- General Fane's brigade now formed the left of the line, and after a terrific fire, it fell back out of range of the enemy's fire. The Guards now occupied the whole front, and they, after firing a tremendous volley, formed into square, as well as each regiment in Face's brigade. The Lancers and the Carabineers made one or two dash ing charges to protect the retiring infantry, and the Guards and light brigade having deployed into line, re tired to the base of the hills which skirt the eastern frontier of the common. Arrived at this point, the Guards occupied the centre, Fane's brigade the right, Evans's brigade, with the cavalry and Horse Artillery, were on the left. The Guards now commenced a rapid ascent of the hill, still pursued by the terrible enemy— more terrible, perhaps, because invisible—and covered by the fire of the field batteries on their flanks. Ar rived at the summit of the hyl, they rallied, formed line, and for a moment arrested the progress of their pur suers. The 42d Regiment meanwhile had reached the summit of another of the heights in rear of the Guards, and had there formed line ; in the rear of them again, on another hill, was posted the 95th, the Rifles occupying the slopes, One division of the avenging foe was sup posed to be pursuing the light brigade on the left, who were rapidly retiring before them, being covered in their retreat by the Horse ,artillery and cavalry.

Colonel Bentmek lay upon ground, ap parently insensible, till he was raised by Colonel Wood and a number of other staff officers, who were immedi ately on the spot. Such cursoif examination as the nature of the circumstances permitted was made by the surgeons, and it was feared that, besides a severe frac ture of the ribs, the gallant colonel had sustained a con cussion of the brain. A cloak was procured from one of the dragoons, and the gallant officer carefully covered with it, and, placed upon a litter, was borne off the field by a company of the Coldstreems, of which regiment the gallant officer was the colonel. The sad cavalcade passed slowly round the foot of the hills, accompanied by a num ber of field and cavalry officers, and proceeded to Higham-lodge, the seat of Lord Seaton, whence he was afterwards conveyed to his own residence, a short dis tance from Higham. The proceedings of the day were brought to a sudden close, and the whole of the troops marched back direct to their encampments, with their bands silent. We need scarcely say that the accident has thrown a gloom over the camp, partially relieved, however, by an announcement made during yesterday, that the injuries which the gallant colonel had received l were not so severe as had been at first anticipated.

The company has been fortunate in the selection of its machinery and staff. .Of the latter, the committe 3 believe that a ipAver set of miners never left England. The machinery is of the very best description, consisting of a pumping enoi ne, .60-inch cylinde •s, with thr ee b o il ers of 12 tons each, pumps and pit-work, a steam engine of 20inch ;cylinders, crushing machine, hauling and stamping machines, raft wheels, connecting gear, jig ging machine work, bobwork„ capstans and shear work, chains, rope, railroad iron and wheels, wagg o n s , engineers.; smiths,' carpenters,' masons,' too's and mining implements, with duplicates of all the more important pat is of the machinery most subject to accident. In con sequence of the advance in the price of iron, the intrinsic value of this machinery is reported to be 1,5001. to 2,0001. more than the 'amount paid . for the same. Considerable credit' is due to Mr. Basset, your engineer, from whose plans and specifications the machinery was made. 5. A portion of the miners were dispatched in .the ship Ramillies (which left Southampton on the 20th February last),,t4t.reixatinder.( s weatiag e t,ne)saiNa is the Caroline (402 tens register), - viillible of the machinery. from Falmouth, on the 15th April; and the principal officers, and the rest of the miners, sailed by the Agra, on the 20th May. G. Full instructions (and remittances) have been for warded by your committee to the colonial committee to set the men at work on the mines immediately on their arrival, and it is probable that, by this time, those dispatched by the Ramilies are at work. 7. The Agra, which is a fast-sailing clipper, will pro bably arrive at Adelaide before the Caroline, and Mr. Bassett, the engineer, will be enabled to organise his plan l of operations bfore the arrival of the miners and machi nery by that ship. Mr. Basset has been inste acted to turn his immediate attention to the realisation of the ore al ready at Grass, on the mine. 8. Intelligence having reached your committee that gold had been di scovere d on the banks of the Echunga, a rive: passing by your property at Strathalbyn, and that the dis covery had been made within a very short distance there from, your committee deemed it right to give instructions to the engineer to report to them, at the earliest moment, on the existence, or otherwise, of gold on your property. It would be well if valuable discoveries should be made thereon, that yoor committee should have the power of taking immediate advantage of the circumstance by either working for the gold themselves, or leasing the ground ts, others. Your committee have, therefore, convened a special meeting immediately after the termination of the ordinary meeting, for the purpose of amending the rules of the cost book, by which the requisite authority may be given. Your committee, however, do not contemplate allowing any discovery of gold to interfere with or delay the pri mary object of this company, viz., copper mining ; for, however valuable gold mines may be, it would be better to lease them to others to work, than to allow the company to be diverted from its original purpose. The committee trust the shareholders mill support them in this view ; although gold discoveries may very materially increase the value of your propel 4, it must be borne in mind that a first-rate Australian copper mine is better than any gold discovery yet known. In illustration of this, the Burra Burra Mine, and the Kay ands Mine, may be referred to. 9. Very satisfactory representations of the valuable na ture of your property, stating that it abounds in mineral wealth, have been made by various parties who have visited the mines, confirming the reports made by the Hon. Mr. leterphett and his colleagues, who formed the original colonial committee. The reports, although not. official, yet, coming as they have done, from highly re spectable parties, altogether independent the company, and unknou o to. each other, strengthen the confidence which your committee before entertained of the high cha racter of the undertok,ng: 10. The anxiety which has long been felt with regard to labour in the colony is subsiding ; and, in a dispatch re cently received from one of the colonial committee, it is stated that the men wore returning from the gold diggings to their ordinary occupations, and that applications had been made to Mtn by some hands, originally employed on the mines, to be put to work again. Your committee therefore hope that no fear need be entertained of the men employed being true to their engagements. 11. In conclusion, the committea trust there is solid. ground for looking forward. to great and early returns from the undertaking. 12. The advantages which the company possess would. appear to be of no ordinary character. In addition to the mineral property, and I€evera.2 houses, smelting furnaces, &c. &c., the company possess GM acres, of which about 12Sacres are laid out as-tou t a ds, at Stratbalbyn, die . -te of-Itbcr Tr4tarAf!.orn th "" • VißigiikiValiP"" o "WOO , 4 tent town of Adelaide (between efe go - roads), and the value cf this ':end has, from its rrox;ruity t) the port, became greatly increased.

The committee have endeavoured t) conduct your affairs with the sti:ctest economy, compatible with effi ciency, And they cal only say that, to ti a best of their power, they w;1 1 continue to uphold that course. 14. The accounts, made up to 30th day of June, will be submitted to the meeting, and the committee will have great pleasure in Affording the shareholders any further in foleaation they may requ-re. J. THOMPSON, Chairman. DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO MURDER 4 F.EillA LE. On Saturday night, shortly before eleven o'clock, the quiet inhabitants of St. Dunstan, Stepney, were thrown into a state of considerable excitement, in consequence of a most atrocious attempt to murder a married female named Hannah Sargant, aged 26 years, of No. 11; Ed- ward-street, Liniehouse-fields, Stepney ; and from what can be gleaned, very slight hopes are entertained of the unfortunate woman's life. It appears that the injured female and her husband (John Sargant), a chaff-cutter, had lived very comfort ably together, but were frequently visited by a man named James Upson ' a blacksmith w h o h a d k nown t h em for many years, and who was in the habit of borrowing snic l .l sums of money. On Saturday night, about half past ten o'clock, Mrs. Sargant left home alone, for the purpose of purchasing her Sunday's dinner, and obtaining various articles for household use, and while passing the iron railing in font of Stepney Church, she met the man Upson, who said, " How are you r' " Oh, I am very well." After which they passed on in the direction of the Thames Police-court, Arbour-square, but had only proceeded a short distance when Upson asked her to lend him six shillings until Monday, which she told him she could not spare, as she was going to market. He seemed to be much excited, and when they reached the Edinburgh Castle public-house, he said to Mrs. Sargant " Never mind, I will give you some half-and-half, for you will never drink with me any more." Mrs. Sar gant refused to take anything to drink, and told him she must go. She left him, and he followed at some dis tance from her, and when she had reached a vacant piece of ground at the rear of the Edinburgh Castle, he rushed upon her and brandished a large table-knife, which he drew from under the left breast part of his coat. Mrs. Sargant screamed violently, but he immediately put his left arm over her mouth, and with his right hand in flicted a severe cut in the neck, just below the chin. He dropped her upon the ground, and made his escape ; but several females came out of their houses, and discovered the unfortunate woman lying on her back, with a large incised wound in throat, from which the blood was flowing very copiously ; she was also quite in sensible and near her was lyin g her market basket. Her hands were cut, a s if caused by her efforts to protect herself against the murderous violence of Upson, who is a powerful fellow. An immediate alarm was raised, and the wounded woman was carried by several police constables and other persons to the nearest surgeon's, where the injury in the neck was temporarily dressed, and the hemorrhage checked, after which she was placed in a cart and con veyed with all possible care to the London Hospital, where Mr. Streetfield, the house surgeon, and other medical officers rendered prompt assistance by sewing uP the wound, which was five inches in length. Last evening at eight o'clock, the unfortunate female. was in a very precarious state, but only her husband and her sister were allowed to see her. Several officers of the K division from Arbour-spare station went in search 'of Upson, but no traces of h im had been gleaned at a late hour last night...b is gene rallyr supposed that he has committed suicide It y Jump ing into the Regent's Canal, and steps Rill the authorities of Stepney to search for thebebotadkyewn with hy the drags this day (Monday).

It appears that after his horse fell with him the animal's hind quarters rolled over, and for a moment rested upon his gallant rider's chest. The internal injury is confined to the racture of one rib, and not three, as stated by the weekly papers. Colonel Stanhope, of the Grenadier Guards, has been appointed to fulfil the duties of Colonel Bentinck, as commander of the brigade of Guards, pending that gal lant officer's recovery. There will be a great day at Virginia Water to-mor row. Ihe pontoon bridge over the lake is to be recon structed, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will order the Ist Life Guards, the 17th Lancers, and the 13th Light Dragoons to march to the spot, and cross over the bridge. _ __ _ The Horse Artillery, the 38th Regiment, and the 93d Regiment will also march at the same hour. The command of the whole force will be entrusted to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. 'THE Nii7V EACZNEY OA 121214 Thiii day the new act comes into force, and every driver of a hackney carriage (including cabs) within the limits of the metropolitan and city police district is re quired, on each occasion when such carriage is hired, to deliver to the hirer a card, on which must be printed " Hackney carriage " and the number of the Stamp office plate, &c. When required, a driver is to produce a book of fares. There is now no back carriage fare. For any distance within, and not exceeding one mile, the fare is 6d. ; and for any time within and not exceeding one hour, 28. When more than two persons shall be carried inside any hackney carriage one sum of 6d. is to be paid for the whole hiring, in addition to the above fares. Two children under 10 years of age are to be counted as one adult person. Lamps are to be provided for omnibuses, and to be kept lighted by the conductors. The advertising van nuisance is entirely got rid of by this act, as it is declared that it shall not be lawful for such vehicles to be exhibited to the obstruction or annoyance of the inhabitants or passengers within the limits of the act. The act extends to the entire limits of the metropolitan districts and the city of London. This district is con stituted by the provisions of the two acts of Parliament, 10th Geo. IV., cap: 44, and 3d Vic., 3. 47, and con tains the whole of the county of Middlesex, and the parishes in the counties of Surrey, Hertford, Essex, and Bent, of which any part is within 12 miles of Char ing-cross, and those a'so of which any part is not more. than 15 miles in a straight line from Charing-cross, except the city of London. The consequence will be, that the advantages of hackney carriages will be ex tended to all the suburbs of London, and persons will be able to ride out of London in cabs at little more than the expense of the omnibus. It is probable, therefore, that :all the high roads round the metropolis will be traversed by cabs as commonly as by omnibuses. Take, for instance, the road to Kensington, Hammersmith, Putney, Greenwich, Camberwel', and others. The fare to Hammersmith from Hyde Park-corner will be but is. 6d. The fare to Greenwich will be 35., and this will be the same at any time of night, It may be thought that the drivers of cabs will be in jured by being taken so far off at so small a sum, but on the other hand, if traveling by such a conveyance becomes genera', the cabman will soon obtain a fare back to town, and a consta at succession of fares will pay him bet;;er than wasting his time upon the stand. The owners of cabs sill, of course, find that their horses are tired in a shorter period, but the remedy for this will be an increased number of horses for each carriage, so that where a cabman now diives one horse to his cab per day, he will be able to change his horse two or three times, by which the profit vitt be increased and the cab in constant use. The material advantages that the public are certain to derive from this act will be at once perceived. In the first place the fare is reduced to those who are caref u l t o avoid extra passengers and short miles, otherwise th e expense will be as great, considering that th ere are to be no half-mile fares, and an increased price for more than two passengers. In the next place there will be a safeguard against imposition, so that the most timid female need not fear eith er oveecharges or misconduct. She w , ll merely have to apply to the policeman at the s t an d and desire him to put herinto a cab and tell her how much to pay. There are now hundreds of p ersons w h o. would rather walk or submit to the inconvenience of an omnibus than trust them se l ves to the mercies of a brutal cab driver.. These annoyances w ill now cease, and the cab men will soon perceive th a t c i v ili ty and good behaviour will secure them a very large increase of trade. The. advantage s o f th e new system might be still fur ther increased by the p ropr i e t ors o f ca b s, for the con venience of the public and their own safety, by an arrangement for sel'ing tickets to be used instead of money. The poli cemen a t th e stan d s m i g h t b e commis sioned to sell the tickets, and the cabman, when he gives the card with his number to every hirer, as the act requires, might be provided with cards, specUying the amount of fare paid by the hirer in the nature of a re ceipt. A system might thus be introduced, unde r which the cab owners might employ their drivers i ata fixed salarj, and secure themselves a gai n st imposition, nsteai of letting their cabs by the day, to a lower class of men, who might be induced to continue a system of extortion for their own immediate emoluments, without caring for the discredit the whole race of cab drivers would incur.
