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. 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.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti fying the TEETH and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION. —To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis sioners of Stamps have directed the proprietors' name and address to be engraved on the Government stamp, thus " A.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Frolic, 16, Commander C. B. Hamilton, was paid off yesterday in a manner so orderly and expeditiously as never to have been equalled at this port. 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 Lushington has had her, although employed in the most contami nating service, she has not lost 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 makes 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 M.`Cleverty 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 ti in, 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. The Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir G. Seymour, Commander-in:Chief, was at Callao on the I4th of April, a letter of which date says, " We sailed from Valparaiso on the 25th of March, and arrived here on the 3d 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, were 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, Commarder Seymour, was at Arica Bay on the 23d of April, collecting freight for the Collingwood to bring home. The Grampus, 50, Captain IL B. Martin, was at Otaheite on the 10th of February. The Otaheiteans 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 Islands. The Constance, 50, Captain Sir B. Walker, sailed from Valparaiso on the 24th of December, Callao the 9th of January, and arrived off Mazatlan (where she remained on the 20th of April) on the 24th of February —all well. The Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, was also at Mazatlan at the date of the last ad vices, collecting freight for the Collingwood. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, sailed from Mazatlan on the 21st of February, fell in with the Constance on the following day, remained in company until the 24th, anchored at St. Blas on the 25th, and sailed thence for Valparaiso and England with a freight on the 13th of March—all well. _ . . The Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, was at the Sandwich Islands on the 20th of February. The Modoste, 18, Captain Watkins, is on her way to Portsmouth, to be paid off. The squadron generally was healthy at the last dates. The following are the promotions and appointments for the past week:— Mates—Edward Couch (1845) and Charles Kent (1845) to the rank of Lieutenant. Assistant-Surgeons Frederick James Whipple (1847), Dr. David H. Wright (1845), and Dr. George Duncan (1845), to the rank of Surgeon. APPOINTMENTS.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 13.—The importance of the royal steam n avy 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 Gr Br tai eat in:— " 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 rs the exaer mination, rank, pay, and appointment of enginee und 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.

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 comparatively small scale. The accounts received from Breslau leave little room ror doubt that a considerable advanee upon last year's prices will rult' 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 ot any variation in this market to report during the pre n sent week—either as to e xtent 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 has 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 I 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 be 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 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 I ls. to 135., locks and cast Bs. to 10s. per stone of 141bs. TRADE OF 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, anti 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 no alteration in price. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, 2HURSDAT EVENING. — There is certainly no one in 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. Both 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 a w n i d t h t o h u e t e atol se u ci te a e n 1 o e s. es is Ts, hi s r , t h h e o r w h e m v et limitation t c i o a n n cannot be d f t the ho o u n r e s , i , ,, f fe l tr a hy he stap le will a total closing of their mills ; and there is prospectwiltl be reducedbat,inanother i nl so on e t r h, ce th n e t., c a o s n e s o u i:ap mp a ti r o e n d o with that twelve m ont h s ago .

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 ing some of their own genus (if not the same tribe). They proceeded to hug and kiss them with all the fer vour and affection evinced by people of a more civilised locality. One oc 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 excited in the Bushman when Mr. Tyler showed hill] how to light the gas. He opened his mouth, and se at the stared with uhutterable astonishment at the sudden ig enxithioibnitcieanusti,sd h b i y gh lthey entertaining, lighted tap er. and Altogether,deseryes the thispa. re Owen,M on r. the conclusion, gave a very spirited singular aborigines, w hi c h o zeited cantiderable satisfaction. tronage which it appears torecleeievteu. 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 d e b a t es , or p en ding measures, no great antagonist sion. i Even the lower excitement of party preponder principl es h a ve been brought into cons ancy s wanting. Nobody expects that the result can so strengthen Lord G. Bentinck's faction as to carry him in ; and nobody, except that faction, cares about keep in g out Sir Robert P ee l, El ectors w ill go to the poll, simply because it i s th e t i me. P ar liament approaches, ' as nearly as is cus t omary, to its natural perio d of dissolution. N o great harm would happen , nor any particular good that I know of, from the re-election of it s M em b ers i n a l u mp. 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 th an t h at o f a canvass ing-book. Foreign grainis the question ; no t f ore i gn policy. Thisindif ference of the public mind does not stop the custom of cross-examining our can d i d ates . It often multiplies questions in proporti on as t h e i r i m portance is diminished. Every conundrum of a c li que , o r crotchet of an indivi dual, has its chance. I nstea d of having to stand the dis charge of a cannon, w h ose b a ll s trikes him dead if it hits at all, the aspirant is p e p pere d w ith perpetual small shot , the largest of which i s on ly cen tralisation or Sunday sch oo l s . As to what will come of it all, safer were it to pret en d to prophecy the winner of next year's Derby. so me silly stuff about And yet, under these unexciting and unpropitious circumstances, the country's representatives and legis lators must be chosen ; and the power so csnferred, 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. rsople. 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 sop 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 the 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 article 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 aotion in people's minds that the sugar, &c. pay so mach to the Government. It is reckoned a tax on articles, and not on persons. Non sense I It is the mar. who drinks tea, and sweetens it, and smokes, and washes, that pays the money. He is the paymaster, just the same us if the duty were levied on the act. Suppose a policeman 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 po ckets for it at the bidding of a collector. The trick is d one out of sight. We do not see the machinery of Custom house leger demain. The cotton fees traders have carried their point, but the tea and sugar free tr aders, the snuff, cigar, and French wine free traders, the soap-suds free traders are left in the lurch. There will they le nv:l.in 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 the broadest principle. The sects are all making their market of it; and the esta blished sect in particular. The Bishop of Exeter wants 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 ground 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 the way for thorn. 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 poor-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 with paupers, that the ex pense pauperises the rate-payers, who are struggling hard for their own subsistence. The fact 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 th e St a t e who has less than 50/. Yet, ho w many are ass essed for public charity who earn , 1 a year. less th an t h e h a lf o f that amount. The goods of the starving are seized for the expenses of a starvation law. The faces o f thepoor are ground to p a y for the grind stone. Th e St a te i s niggardly charitable to the entirely p paupers, out of the pittances of semi and three-quarter pauper s . A n d t hi s system is intended to last. The Poor-law R e formers expend their fury on the Com missioners. The Ministry will cast Jonas overboard to still the storm. And the paying poor, and the destitute e poo i r ,i , m a e re an l d eft s , p if ac ethaellyowliinkge: there er go e to h t the r e e dogs, other or topicsth devil together. are which I would enlarge upon. as well deserving legis lative attention, during the next septennial per i od o f Parliamentary existence. The Healths of Towns Bill is a failure unless the cliques and jobbers of vestries and corporations are checked, as they would at once be checked, by popular demonstration. At present, the production of fever is amongst the privil eges of house property. There is a trade in typhus. Masses of human beings are so lodged that they might envy the boasts in the Zoological Gardens. The interested juntas exert their influence. Are there no vot ers t h at have a voice for the people ? Again, the assertion of religious liberty and equality is an enduring principle. Instead of picking out Maynooth grants, and such small fry, for protesting, why not exact a declaratio n aga i ns t an y partiality whatever o pby the State, for any creed what ever ? And last, though certainly not least, every voter who is generous or Just : will bear in mind that he is one of the possessors of an invol un t ary monopoly ; he belongs to a politically privileged class ; and the great m ajority, six to one, of his fellow -countrymen, belong to a slave-class. If electors ask no questions, candidates will make no promises. It is true, indeed, that h ust i ngs ' prom i ses a r e commonly classed with lovers' vows. B ut if we can not 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 indif ferent. We may be true to ourselves, i n thi s, our rare l y re curring opportunity. And questions of principle, calmly and firmly put, may prove the mor e i mpress i ve f ro m the absence of party excitement. It would do legislators a world of good to make them f ee l th at t h ey are under some degree o f r es ponsibility to an intelligent and determined people. FUBLICOLA.

From the largeness of his head externally, and the peculiarity of his mental tempera ment, the leading craniologists have long spoken of him as of necessity possessing a large brain ; but the post mortem inspection of the encephalon has disabused this idea. Thus, the weight of brain in Dupuytreu was 6402., in Cuvier 63, in Abercrombie, 63, in Chalmers 53 ; the average weight in persons from 50 to 60 years of age being 50oz. 2dr." Thus the science must not be deemed infallible.

S T t h a e te efonorfeFroonrceeignbrAoiffeairusp, osnocratfarirfis five OICIOC/1.1.-Qbtirte HAYMARKET THEATRE. One of Mr. Planche's clever adaptations of a French comic drama,was produced on Saturday night, under the title of The Jacobite, and was received with the utmost favour by a crowded audience. The plot, as the name indicates, is taken from that page in the history of this country when, after the battle of Culloden, the adherents of Charles Stuart were hunted down and executed 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, and is picked up by Sir Richard, ‘N hose jealous suspicions are 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 vered, persuades Sir Richard that the place of meeting has been changed from " The Crooked Billet" to " 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 be 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 he, 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 seises the royal p ar d on , g i ves i t 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 rea d ers 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 scn ra p, With that good woman, " which her nam e was Gamp." Then, listening to The Chimes, no wrongs co u ld 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 Life's Battle sorely tried, Clemency Nswcome 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 Wood Damon cried, " Past one o'clock r 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 topics 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 Far answering one grand object—to amuse. And now, the saddest task is left. To all, Who thus to-night, responded to our call, With more deep feeling than mere words mai tell, Let mo but speak that cruel one—Farewern 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 ?" 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. and Mrs. Keeley carry with them the good will and kindly sympathies of the public, on their temporary withdrawal behind the scenes. PRINCESS'S THEATEE.—A new comic drama, under the title of Ladies 1 Beware 1 was announced at this theatre on Saturday evening, but in consequence of the indisposition of Mrs Stirling, who was to have sustained aprincipal part, its first representation was postponed. The little farce of A IV ife for an Hour was substituted for the novelty, but it was not permitted to proceed quietly without an explanation as to the cause of the change. Mr. Walton was compelled to inform the audience that that day at noon he had received a medical certificate (which he read) from Dr. Hall, stating the impossibility of Mrs. Stirling's appearance in the even ing. Notices, he added, had immediately been posted in all the avenues of the theatre ; and what more, he asked, could be done ? With this the audience appeared satis fied, and the substituted farce went on. But, for our own part, we can say that we saw nothing in the e shape ae of a notice announcing the postponemen h t e of hou h se, piece until we had reacher,: ihe interior quitting had already paid our money, and on to timation of the sort at the entrance a closer inspection did not enable us to The engagement of Mr. MaeF r ea I. termi nates next week, when n nee Madame Vestris e co se m e m shtp previous to theirls October.
