IA 0 IT F.; Y P m-. 17 ,oa AND 001 VEVIP.,2.,CIAL INTELLIGENCII CITY, Two o'CLoCK. Let!ers from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, with an animated appearance, and, compared with Friday, prices of American and Surat were id. per lb. dearer. The sales were 17,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. In the Rail way Share Market there was no alteration to report. Business in the market for foreign and colonial produce is rather inactive, and the intervention of the Fast-day will probably render them quiet throughout the week. Superior grocery kinds of sugar are in demand, and other sorts remain at about previous prices.. Coffee is dull, tea steady, and in rum very few transactions are recorded. Notwithstanding the letters from Paris report some - symptoms of improvement in the discount market there, and the Bank have increased their loan operations, the progress of monetary affairs on the continent generally is not altogether satisfac tory. Within a few weeks the Banks of Amster dam, Frankfort, and some of the other principal cities have raised their terms of discount, and the Bank of Berlin have just elevated their minimum to 64 per cent., owing to the pressure for accom modation. These frequent changes denote a very unfavorable state of affairs; but it is encouraging to find that the tendency in Paris is temporarily in the contrary direction. Whenever money becomes dearer on the Continent it always exercises a sym pathetic influence here, but the movements in Paris are necessarily more important than those in any other market. It is stated that the Bank of France is still obtaining supplies of gold, and the with drawals from the Bank here are partly ascribed thereto, but there are two or three circumstances which may account for this large and sudden efflux. Owing to the perturbed condition of things in America, remittances of gold are likely to be made thither, in payment of calls upon the railway securities of that country. For instance, an important sum was paid on the Illinois Central, and the position of the New York exchange necessitates the transmission of gold. nowever, there is now a demand for gold on the Indian account, which, in addition to tne Conti nental requirements for silver and the Paris Bank, will probably lead to a rapid absorption. Austra lian supplies are consequently awaited with some anxiety, and about half a million is overdue, but this season of the year is not favourable for quick Passages, and further withdrawals from Thread needle-street are consequently anticipated. Yes terday about 65,000/. was taken away, and the Bank return for the current week is expected to exhibit some unsatisfactory results. Besides a reduction in the bullion it is feared that the reserve of Notes will be severely trenched upon ; for in addition to the commercial demand which is still very active, the authorities have granted a loan of a million sterling to the Hon. East India Company, on India Bonds and other securities. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, it would not olcasion surprise if an early advance of per cent. in the minimum took place, and some are of opinion that the alteration cannot be defered beyond Thursday next. The Stock Market continues very heavy. Several transactions have taken place for money, but as they have consisted of small amounts, they have given very little support to values. Speculation is still confined within a very narrow compass, owing to the approach of the settlement, and although many of the operators are predicting lower prices, they operate to a very small extent. Consols for money are 90 to 901, and 901 2 for the November account, and the variation has not exceeded per cent, The New 3i per Cents. were 101, and Ex chequer Bills are Bs. to 4i. discount. India Stock is 210. In the Foreign Market there has not been muck animation, and the quotations have appeared heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 941 95, and the 4 per Cents, are nominally steady. Spanish 3 per Cents. remained at 40i, and the Deferred 251. Peruvian 3 per - Cents. were dealt in at 54f, French 3 per Cents 68.25 (exchange 25.25), and Dutch 2i per Cents 65j. • The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i 6 ; Mexi can, 21 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 78& 9i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 53i 4i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 44i 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 11 ; ditto 4. per Cents., 974 84 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 258 ; ditto CertiticAtes, 5i 6 ; ditto Passive, 54 6. A moderate business has been done in the Rail way Share Market, but at a decline in most cases of about to 1 per cent. on yesterday's rates. Ches ter and Holyhead, South-Western, and South- Eastern receded ss. ; Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Western, and Midland, 10s. ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and North-Eastern (York), 158. ; - Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, and North Eastern (Berwick), 11.; and North British, 11. 10e. The Foreign lines were rather firmer. Northern of France im proved 55., Paris and Lyqns N., and Lom bardo -Venetian ss. The Colonial undertakings are exceedingly depressed. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded U. 10s, and Great Western of Canada ss. to 10s. East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula are steady. Mining Shares are quiet, and exhibit no mate rial variation. St. John Del Rey advanced lOs. Joiut-Stock Banks and Miscellaneous Shares were dealt in to a very limited extent.

CLIPPER SHIP RED JACKET.—A. paragraph is going the round of the papers of the day to the effect that thi vessel has been taken up for the conveyance of horses from the Cape. We are instructed to contradict the statement ii it is meant to apply to the celebrated clipper of that name, so favourably known in the Australian trade in connection with the "White Star Line" of Liverpool and Australian packets. The vessel is now on her passage home from Melbourne, and her owners intend to despatch her as the packet of the 20th November. SERIOUS ACClDENTS.—Yesterday morning Charles Brown, aged 16, n.siding in Lant,street, B , irough, was in Ihe act cf.cleani t y7 a horse, wh en t h e animal struck oat his hi n d l eg, and buriPd the frog of the iron shoe in h's skull.

Blackwood.—" What will he do with it" presents us in this number with some striking and interest ing passages. The narrative follows the fortunes of the " Comedian," and that wonderful man ex hibits decisive proofs of his peculiar talent. Thi adventures which he met with in the strange town are full of fascination, and the skill with which he combines the real with the ideal, and achieves the triumph of his art by faithfully representing nature, awakens the sympathy and excites the interest. He was fortunate in securing the services of the mayor, " who had one of those countepaec , s upon which good nature throws a sunshine sof er than aaucl , ever shed upon canvas," but by his dexttritY and daring he contrived to mollify the hardest, and charm the most callous ; and indeed he must have been censorious; or captious in the extreme, who could have remained an ind , ffere4t- spectator to the impersonation of the soldier - of the Empire, " who had fought under Napoleme at Marengo and Austerlitz, gone thieugh ,the snows of Muscovy, escaped the fires of Waterloo, to find that the battle of life reserved in store for him still sharper con flict, and demanded sterner powers of endurance." An article, entitled " Modern Light Literature— Society," contains a great deal of truth in its re marks, and is worthy of consideration. It enters int) detail on the various sketches of acciety, met with in the works of writers of the present day. It calls particular attention to the fact that the generality of authors fix their personages in high life, even when the scene is laid in the country. "We remember no work of fiction, in ` our recent experience, where there is not an earl or countess paramount, a dowager or duke reigning in seclusion, or, at least, a baronet who owns the suzerainete of the district." "Our Hagiology" re fers to many remarkable superstitions and extra ordinary credences of the ancients, but it is useful to trace the causes of such dowr:nes being held, and, as it is observed, some profit must be found in the records of those who, were the first to bring Christianity to these islands. "Scenes of Clerical Life" proceeds with the history of "Janet's Re pentance." In this portion a mee:ing takes place between her and Mr. Tryan, and the story evidently approaches its crisis. The calm dignity, and the stedfast endurance of the much abused minister, at last overtime the fierce prejudices of Janet, and she is left in the prospect of obtaining more serenity within and without than has heretofore been her lot. " Beloochee Traits" furnish a groat dtal of "information concerning the habits of that race, and it is doubtless that there is truth in the opinion ex pressed by the writer that at the present juncture whatever will serve to illustrate the character of a Mohammedan people will'be welcome. It is curi ous to follow the traveller's wanderings among a people so savage and uncultivated. Sume lines on " India" are spirited, and express deep feeling for the injured ones. "The Syr:an Route to the East" upholds the Euphrates Valley route in oppo sition to the Suez scheme. Dublin. --The story of the " Partners," is pro ceeded with, and the before complicated plot be comes still more involved. The manner in, which the crafty and cautious Aubrey proceeds to carry out his designs is well desctibed, and hardly lees ably executed is, the conduct of Ingott, who was too much of a coward to act, but secretly applauded the actions of his partner. " The Cardinal Treaties of Merliseval and Modern History," are continued. The Peace of Utrecht is the present subject under consideration. " M'Cormack's Grudge," is the title of a story which commences in this number, and which appears likely to be an effective one, as it possesses some striking characters, and records events that occurred at an exciting periol. "Autumn Eclogues," by Jonathan Freke S ingsby, are full of life and energy. The Haymakers is very amusing, the city poet arriving at the village with his mind rapt in the study of nature, and being mistaken by the rustics for a madman, is very ludi crous. The following verses are pleasing Of all the flowers of earth, I wean, There's none that can compare With that which springs when meads are green, And bears thy nune, my fair. So bright the Daisy is and sweet, Si douce est la Marguerite. The welkin hath full many a star, The eyes of Night are they Earth's own flower-stars the daisies aro, The fairest " eyes of day." So bright the Daisy is awl sweet, Si douce est la Marguerite. Ah ! Marguerite des Marguerites ! My pearl of pearls art thou, The daisy wreath lies at thy feet, Oh place it on thy brow. So bright the Daisy is and sweet— & douce est la Marguerite. There are other poems to be mot with, among them tho " Artist's Motley Song," by Irwin, demands attention. " Recent Books on India," bring before the notice some deserving works, more or less in structive. It is remarked that " nothing with the name of India can be thrown away as waste paper." The article entitled " Vincenzo Gioberti," will in torest those who delight in theological controversy. It refers to the work of that distinguished man. A second chapter on the " Curiosities of the Eng ash Language," affords additional details on its structure and derivation. The " Revolt of the Bengal Army,", is the subject of some remarks. After dwelling on the details abroad, the home view of tha case is thus mentioned : "England will find in her hour of danger and difficulty an unfaltering ally in this island. Let her seek on these shores for succour, and she will gather to her aid thou sands of stalwart ' Women who will carry her fin to victory. It is a proud thing that the first offer of a volun t9er corps for service in India has been made from Ireland. The Tipperary Artillery Militia have led the way in prof fering their voluntary services to maintain the honour o f England, and avenge the snffezin,gs of her sons and daughters in the East. This offer is doubly blessed as an expression of Ireland's sympathy for England, and as re futing the slanderous sneer of a Continental paper that this war is not supported by the public voice. Sure are we that there are multitudes ready to respond to the call of more men for India. The sunshine of success will break out ere long, and it may be that out of this present terrible convulsion a glad result will spring. These islands may be knit more closely together than heretofore by the attemptel dismemberment of England and her greatest colony. with an "attractive — subject for his "New Book Notes," in which some details and incidents of the chi chansonnier's later days are interwoven, though so little is said of .his literary character. that it is not unlikely that we, shall have more " Notes" on this subject from the pen of this clever writer. "The Sledge Drive to Church" is a tale of Norway, • :told with considerable skill. It is the narrative of the narrow escape of a peasant's family pursued by a a pack of hungry wolves during their drive home from a distant church in a lonely Nor wegian district. The story is simple, and the in cidents have often f.und 4 place in fiction, but they tre sufficiently real and striking to give excite ment to the tale. "A Fortnight's 'Sport in the Highlands" records the perils of deerstalking. " Seven Years in an,lndiau Officer's Life " is the .itle of a narrative describing Indian experiences, i,hough, of course, not connected with prasent troubles. The author of "The Passing Bell," a veil known contributor to the pages of Bentley, furnishes a tale entitled, " A Mysterious Visitor," . having for its subject the' losses of an English family from,the recentlmassacres. The subject is, however, so terribly real and afflicting to so many liat is scarcely suitable for a story till time has softened some of its horrors. " The Life of an Archit:ct" is c mtinuecl, and so is "The Gallery of Theatrical portraits," which gives us in the tenth number a sketch of the wonderful successes of the Young Roscius. Dudley Costello's story is con tinued in its usual Style. The Un,&d, Service Mdgazine. Several vary important s_►bjects are discussed in the pre sent ntitnber. The first paper is on the late military purchase commission, and merits considera tion. It is justly obsrved by the writer that in tereit and pa - treillage are as fatal to military effi ciency as tha purchase system. Interest and money —it is observed—are at present the two requisites ; "as long as we hold by them there is a tight shce on each foot in our military system, and in getting rid of purchase,- we shall only have kicked off one, and, perhaps, not the worst of them." The remarks made on military reform are clear and sensible, and evidence a aarcftil examination and full, apprecia tion of the difficulties of the subject. " Hoar shall we supply the native army of Bengal ?" is the question which gives its title to the following article, -and after discussing ,various points the writer ar rives at the conclusion that the best thing that Lord Elgin" can do will be to retu:n to Hong Kong' with the Madras regiments intended for Bengal service, and to order the whole-of the infantry and artillery embarked for-service in China to .Elindos ,au, as he regards the Michas regiments with great suspicion., , Captain Spencer contributes an article on the union of the Principalities, giving-much in-• f(srmation respecting the races and inhabitants of Moldo-Wallachia, and strongly recommending their union under a constitutional monarch. A second notice . of " Our Life-Boat," furnishes some strik ing details of the services rendered by life-boats along our coast, and some useful particulars of their ne - Jessa , y qualities and the most advanta geous kind of life-13elt. The 6oceluding article on Wellington and his contemporaries in the social circle, - is chiefly devoted to Talleyrand. rt gives, however, some characteristic details of the Duke hiniself, and the following passage on his opinion of his great adversary's talents as a com mander is not without interest. " The Duke of Wellington had, as may be very well believed,'a high opinion of the military talents of the Emperor Napoleon the I. ; he said, " I have always con sidered the presence of Napoleon with an army as equal to an additional force of 40,003 men, from his superior ta lent, and from the enthusiasm which his name and pre sence inspired into the troops. And this was the more disinterested on my part, because, in all my campaigns, I had then never been opposed to him. When I was in Paris, in 1811, I gave this very opinion in the presence of several Prussian and_ ustrian generals who had fought against hitm,and you have no idea of the satisfaction and plea sure it gave them to think that, though defeated, they had so much odds against them." On another occasion the duke also said, that ho thought Napoleon superior to Turenne, Tallard, or any of the old generals of former times ; but Napoleon had this advantage over every other general, over himself in particular, that his power was unlimited. He could order everything on the spot as he pleased ; if he wanted reinforcements they were sent ; if to change the plan of a campaign, it was changed; if to reward services, he could confer honours on the field of battle; whereas, the duke and other generals wore obliged to write home to Ministers, and wait their decisions, perhaps that of Parliament ; and ho himself had never had the power of conferring the slightest reward •of any of his followers, however deserving," The Dynasties of India form the topic of a paper on the struggles of Hindoos and Mahomedans. An naval and military intelligence of the month is given in full, as usual. Co/burne's New Monthly.—A. new sttifir by the author of " Ashley" is commenced, which is in teresting, it is replete with that variety of cha racter and incident, which has before particulartly distinguished the works of this writer. The tale is rather a mkslancholy one, at least some passages are of a painful nature. It will most likely be more striking in the next part. No one can help pity ing the unfortunate Susan, deserted by her lover, betrayed by 11,r sister, but it is probable that her after fa , e-- will be preferable to theirs, since the foundation of happiness can never be laid in deceit and treachery. The fourth volume of the memo rials and correspondence of Fox furnishes Sir Na thaniel with the subject of an interesting paper, called "Fox at St Anne's Hill." " Watertoniania" is the title of an entertaining crit cisui on Mr. Waterton's "Essays on Natural History." "The Swedish voyage round the world," which was cer tainly not performed in the English express style, still continue/, and describes part of China. An other Scandinavian traveller records his experi ences of Siberian wilds. The Baths of Lucca, and North America are also found in the table of con tents ; therefore the lovers of travel will have a pleasant variety. Modern French novels receive a severe, but well-merited, criticism, which attacks their false sentiment and glaring exaggeration. In any other form of literature their absurdity would be their counterpoise, but combined with the dramatic talent and the love of excitement in the reader, it 13: , :comes dangerous. "The Ristory - of the Newspaper Press" is concluded, and an article on 'Preaching," makes a vigorous attack on in competent pr6achers. Cyrus Redding contributes an article on India. Fraser's Magazine—This magazine has its usual share of articles of a superior character, which par take less of the nature of serial light literature than of thoughtful essays on books and men, on human nature and social progress, that, however much they may oppose themselves to the opinions or convictions of the reader, command atten tion and suggest thought. Foremost among the topics of the present month, is a paper on Manchester and its exhibition of Art Tr asures, by a Manchester Man, who avails himself of this com bination of the practical and the ideal to give us his opinions on Manchester men, and on the marvels as sembled under their auspice'. Thisat Cele is edi ately foil° wed by one of the more t hough tfut class, "On the origin and Functionof Music," which introduces an ingenious theory on the derivation of musical expression from the natural sounds produced by the emotions or passions. The beneficial and ele vating tendency of the cultivation of music is up held, but the paper is somewhat too alstruse and elaborate for the general reader. Mr. Buckle's first volume of the History of Civilisation in Eng land receives a careful and comprehensive criticism, rendering full justice to the ability and research evidenced in the work, while differing from some of his principles and his inferences. These, in deed, judging from the criticism and the extracts provoke discussion and challenge opposition. 0 The causes and features of social advancement are , discussed with care and skill. "The Interpreter," , by G. Whyte Melville, is continued with vigour ; the present instalment, taking its hero to the siege itself, and describing, with animation and pathos alternately, the incidents of the campaign. A re miniscence of the cavalry charge is t •ld with elo quence and feeling. " Shooting in Albania" trans ports the reader from the murmur of past and pre sent warfare to the marshes of Corfu. The sports man's reminiscences will be chiefly interesting to those of similar tastes. "Jays and Nutcrackers" tike their place in the series of papers on Natural His tory, whicl combine information and anecdote very pleasantly. "The Curate of Edenlsolm" is a brief sketch of a son's selfishness and a mother's self devotion, ending, as such romances in real life too seldom do, in repentance and amendment when atonement was too late. " Holm Dramaticos appears at the third number, the first two having ba' published some years back, when the writer, we are told, had not leisure to complete his design. Few readers, we fear, will pay him the compliment ' of remembering the introduction, so it is well that the present number can be read alone. It takes for its subject the " Flask" of Cratinus, a comedy pro duced at the age of ninety-seven, which carried away a prize from the rivalry of Aristophanes. An article on " Art and History" traces their mutual influence, as evidenced in some national character istics, and the artistic tendencies of different epochs. 1 It is interesting and suggestive, though its brevity ( prevents an elaborate analysis of its subjects. The Art Journal.—The three large engravings of this month are " The Prison Group," from the picture by F. Bonvy ; "The Birth of Belphcehe and Amorett," a beautiful landscape from the pic ture by W. Leitch, Loth in the Royal collection, and an engraving of Mr. Crawford's group of "The Hunter." The literary contents are, as usual, 'at tractive to all artistic readers. The series of criti cisms on Briliih artists renders a worthy tribute t) George Lance; and the seventh chapter of "An Old Travellers' Talk about Pictures and Painters" contains same pleasant reading. The valuable .pa pets ou the applications of improved machinery and materials to art manufacture, by Robert Hunt, F.R.S. are devoted in this number to collodion and photography. The i" Book of the Thamas," by the able editors of the journal, brings its plea sant gossip to the metropolis. The Mechanics' Magazine maintains its esta blished character, and is admirably calculated to promote the circulation of scientific knowledge among those engaged in the practice of mechanics. It enables them to comprehend in some measure the plinciples of science as applied to their labour, and at the same time affords information of a kin dred nature on various other topics. Another advantage of this magazine is, that it affords an opportunity for practical discussion and correspon dence, so that if any one engaged in mechanics wishes to obtain any information or solve a pro blem, Ih-orttical or practical, he can appeal to his fellow-readers, and have the benefit of their expe rience or knowledge. Altogether, its utility is of a high character, and will, we trust, continue to meet with the support and encouragement it merits. The publications of Charles Knight are continued will their usual ability. The English Cyclopwclia has reached the fifty-sixth part of this division, and the biogt aphy approaches its conclusion.

PARISI! VESTRIES AND POPULAR AMUSEMEATS. The contest of the Chelsea Vestry against Cromorno Gardens - is not the only instance of a disposition on the part of PariAl Vestries to wage war against places of popular resort and amusement. Toe Argyll Rooms in Great • Windrnill-qrect, a well known establishment, one of the most popular in -,Len don, which has been in existence under one manazement seven years, and during all that peaidregularly licensed ey the Board of Magistrates —which gives regular and good employment to an orebestra of about forty musi cians of the first talent, and in the general business of the rooms employment to about sixty other persons, bas fallen under the ban of the vestry of the parish of St. James's, and the most strenuous opposition is to -be made to the application for the license at the ensuing session of the buard of nanistrates. It is also rumoured that the new Music Hall, now in course of erection, closely adjoining.Piceadilly, is to enc:iunter a similar op. iioAtiou ; .and, as the fantastic spirit of gentlemen "dressed in a little brief authority," is contagious, it iss to be - expected that all similar places of publio resort in London, • where music • and dancing form the staple of tha entertainment,, will be the objects of a crusade, instigated- and headed by Parish Thus fat; the warfare hav'opened inanspiciouslyfer.the assailants., The Chelsea Vestry have been forewarned by their solibitors with the good advice that there is no cvidenoe to support the charge that the-Gardens dete• -riorate the ajacent property. We believe this to have been the only objection taken to Cgemorne. What are the relative characters of the two establishments—Cre inorne Gardens and the Argyll - Rooms ? In their main. • features they are one and the same thing, music and dancing being the staple of the entertainmeut ; Crensarne being open both in the day and night, and the Argyll rooms in the evening only, from half-past ei!ht till twelve n'elock. It is true that - there are other amuse events at Cremorne, besides music and dancing, but these form the staple attraction, and both establishinents are dependent for support on the crowds who have neither leisure nor taste for such amusements during the uav, but prefer to listen to the one and mingle in the other by night. For ourselves we confess, with ail dne deference to that august body, the vestry of St. James's, to having been an occasional visitor at the Argy'l rooms during the whole period of their Existence we like the coup d'ail of the well-lighted, well-cm stiucted and Proportional, and tastefully decorated 'saloons—we like to listen to the orchestra, the best in Sagland for dance, and the cheapelt shilling's worth of musieto be had in London—we like to look on the h-althful amusement which has become so popular of late years as to be almost n ati ona l— we like to watch the file which never breaks into disorder, and to parti cipate in the quiet cheerfulness which always prevails in this establishment. Also, at the Argyll we see every body. It is the reunion of the clubs the Royal Exobange of free and easy intercourse. Hither go the best men of the country, not even excepting the magnates of the vestry of Saint James. Staid gentlemen with the r wives oftentimes delight to patronise it, quietly looking on, and sometimes figuring in the dance. Even Moth er huroh is represented, for we have seen very reverend gentlemen indeed of our ao quaintance, relaxing themselves in the Argyll Room,. l'rue, it may have been mere curosity which led them thither, perhaps to stimulate them to twofold eloquence in the next Sunday sermon; but whatever the motive, the visit has keen invariably enjoyed. The simple truth is that the righteous vestry of Saint James feels somewhat scandalised at the characteristics which dististinguish the Haymarket by night, and want-• ing a scape-goat for their virtuous indignation, they attribute these to the Argyll-rooms. We do not give them credit for so much candour as to imagine that they think themselves right, while every one who knows London knows surely that they are wrong. It is now some shore about thirty years since we commenced tak iog a quiet peep at the various phases of life in Loudon, and for these thirty years the Haymarket has always been the same Haymarket, and at some periods infinitely worse than it is at present. Where then was the cause before the Argyll-rooms existed ? If for the better part of half a century a manifest evil has been tolerated in the parish of Saint James, let not the blame be cast on an -establishment in no wise culpable. We venture to affirm of the Argyll-rooms that they are one of the best condactei places of public resort in London, and that the crowds who attend them depart, on their closing, quietly to their homes. More than this, the frequenters of the. Argyll rooms are not of a class who throng the streets at night. If the pretext seized on by the vestry of St. James's be good, then, for the same reason, should the Haymarket Theatre be closed, and her Majesty's Opera, and all other places of amusement to which the public go in crowds ; and from which, the amusements being over, they must emerge in crowds also. We cannot have places of amusement without a cer tain amount of inconvenience ; but for that reason shall some cynic, or some DJgberry, perhaps, anxious to dis tinguish himself, cry out "nuisance." The trafficin the Haymarket is temporarily impeded when the spectators leave the theatre. The same thing occurs with the Opera House, immediately opposite. Cabs, broughamt., carriages, servants, crowds of people of all descriptions, for a short time, undoubtedly, create some inconveni ence, and as the masses gradually flow off, there settles behind them some of the dissolute, be it frankly said, who have been inside and waited outside, or in the im mediate neighbourhood of both theatre and opera, and t i whom such places have always been an attraction and resort. These things have made the Haymarket what it is. It may be affirmed with truth that not one- tenth ,part of the inconvenience arias; t;tiepuhlioon the closing of the Argyll-rooms, which supervenes from either of the other establshments, and why therefore Mould the former be singled out to bear all the oppro brium of a state of things long existent, and to a certain extent inevitable ? But we do not despair. Many a plcusaLt hour do we yet hope to spend in the Argyll, notwithstanding the vestry of St. James's ! An ebtabli,Lment which has so . . long existed without incurring a siiiileinerited;;;;;cli, and irk which the proprietor has invested a fortune, is not to be broken up at the breath of a palish vestry. We trust that the large number of persons to which it rives employment need feel no apprehension en the subject. We shall hope to meet oar friends and accinaintaLces there, and enjoy ourselves in wit nessing the enjoyments of others for many a year to come aye, and for that matter, %lance too, if the humour seize us« Pat ish Jacks in office, thank Heaven, are not law-makers, nor absolute arbi tors .of our tastes and amusements. Poor slaves, indeed, should we be if they were, for they are the most petty tyrants of all. Mighty virtuous though they be, there shall yet be " cakes and ale, aye and ginger shall be hot i the mouth too." Happy shall we be to learn that the zeal of St. James's Vestry — w arks in a right directiou. There is ample room for all their efforts—room too for reformers of all de- scriptions, amongst the ainnere, high and low, who abound in their parish, without attacking one of the most agreeable and orderly plaoas of entertainment we have, and suppressing amusements which are exceedingly healthful to our bodies without in any wise harming our so.alß. . , A CORR FOR THIS TOOTHACHE.—Steep a piece of the coarsest brown paper in e , ld vinegar, then grate ginger on it, and to apply it to the side of the face affected.
