WIGRAM.) MARSH V. KINGDOM. This was a suit for the purpose of enforcing the specific performance of a contract to deliver to the plaintiff a lease for 96 years of certain houses in West bourne- terrace, but was not concluded at the rising of the Court. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court took the special paper to-day. ST. PANCRAS.-SCDDDING V. LORANT. This case occupied the Court the greater part of the day. The point at issue between the parties was, whether a rate, made by the \ vestry of St. Pancras, for the relief of the poor, on the 12th day of August, 1539, but which was not completed until the subsequent 14th of September, was a legal rate or not within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. The plaintiff, and several other ratepayers, refused to pay the rate, on the ground that it could not be enforced, as some alterations took place in the vestry between these periods, and they were conseqnently subjected to a dis traint. Believing therate to be invalid, theplantiff brought an action to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had in consequence sustained, but principally with the view of deciding whether the rate was valid or invalid. The jury considered it was valid, and gave a verdict for the parish, thus confirming its legality. A rule calling upon defendants to show cause why a new trial should not be had was subsequently obtained on the ground that the rate was invalid, inasmuch as it was stated to be a rate made on the 12th of August, whereas it was virtually not made until the I4th:ot September; that it was not signed, in accordance with the Act, by the vestrymen by whom it was made, and was never allowed by the justices. The vestry book alone had been signed, but not until the 14th, the rate being set forth as one made on the 12th of August. Mr. PEACOCK was now heard at great length in sup port of the rule. Mr. WATSON followed on the other side, and con tended that the rate was really made on the 12th of August, although the lists of ratepayers though persons were employed at them from day to day— were not completed until the 14th of September, when it was signed. The Act did not mean that at one single meeting all the parties were to come and sign the books and make them perfect at that one meeting. Though some alterations did take place between the periods mentioned, there was a sufficient number re maining of the old vestrymen to make the rate. If the proceeding was confined to one day, the making of a rate at all would often become abortive, because the task could not be - performed in a day. Mr. PEACOCK replied. The COURT intimated that it would consider the matter. The Court will resume the special paper on Tuesday next. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SALES OF SHARES AND SCRIP.—LAMOND V. DEVAL. This was an action to recover the sum of 791., the price of certain scrip sold to the defendant. Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr. Bram well appeared for the defendant. Mr. OGLE stated that the plaintiffs, Messrs. Lamond, were very large share-brokers in the city of London, and they occasionally held large sales of shares In the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street. These shares were not only belonging to different persons wishing to sell them, but some of them belonged to Messrs. Lamond. On the 7th of August last a sale was held, and the de fendant made his appearance and bid for several lots. There were ten East Indian shares at twenty shillings, and two lots of others, making in all 791. Some ques tion afterwards arose as to the sale, and the only ques- tion the jury would have to try was whether the de fendant did or did not purchase the shares. Mr. Kitchen, the clerk to the auctioneer, stated that he remembered the sale on the 7th of August. The de fendant was there and purchased three lots of shares, which came to 791. The money was not paid, nor was there any offer of payment for some time after. By Mr. BRAM WELL —One of the rules of the place is that all shares bid for are forfeited if payment is not made on the day following. Neither the deposit nor purchase-money was paid. Is aware that Messrs. Lamond afterwards sold these shares, and they came to the sum of between 611. and GU These shares had risen very much in price before the end of the year. The defendant afterwards came to Messrs. Lamond and said that if the shares were delivered to him, he would pay for them at once. The shares had then been sold. When the defendant bid for them witness wrote down his name. The conditions of sale were read out before the auction began. By Mr. OGLE—The defendant came and offered to take the shares on the same day that they rose in the market. Had no communication with the defendant before entering his name as the highest bidder for the shares. After some further evidence of no material weight, Mr. OGLE said that he had closed his case. Mr. BRAMWELL said that no case had been made out. It had been held that the entry by the auctioneer of the name of the highest bidder in his book was a written agreement, and that agreement had not been produced. He also objected that the present case came within the Statute of Frauds, as the shares were not legal shares, and legally transferable. Mr. Justice EnLE here recalled Mr. Kitchen, who stated that none of these shares were in companies au thorised by Act of Parliament. They were, however, well known in the market. Mr. Justice ERLE said that they did not then come under the Statute of Frauds. Mr. BRAMWELL then objected that the property was improperly described as " shares" in the declaration, when it was merely certificates of scrip. Besides any ten East Indian shares would have done for the de fendant; there were no specific shares set apart for him, and therefore until the specific property was described by its numbers, or delivered, it was no sale. Mr. Justice ERLE asked Mr. Kitchen whether, in sell ing the ten shares in the Ea3t Indian Railway Company, any particular ten were alluded to, or whether the deli very of any ten shares in the company would meet the bargain. The witness replied that any ten would have done. Mr. BRAMWELL then objected, that on their own ad mission the plaintiffs had realised 631. 10s. on the subse quent sale of the shares, and yet they brought their action for the whole sum of 791. If the action for goods sold and delivered could be maintained, the plaintiffs could recover the whole sum ; and if they got their ver dict the defendant had no means of recovering the sum of 631. 10s., which they had received for the sale of the shares. They were only entitled by right to 151. 10s. Mr. Justice ERLE said, that on all the points but the last he was against Mr. Bramwell. It was clear that there was no accounts stated before action, and therefore the action could not be maintained. Besides, there w as an offer to pay the 79/. on the delivery of the share s . He thought, therefore, that the plaintiffs should be non suited, giving Mr. Ogle leave to move for a verdict for 791., or 151. 10s., as the Court should deem fit. liberty for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit, or turn it into a special verdict by consent of the parties, should the Court be of opinion that the contract wils From the evidence given upon the trial, it appeared that the plaintiff in the action was the administratrix of Mr. Lee, who, during his lifetime, had purchased two annuities, one immediate, and the other deferred, in the National Loan Fund and Life Assurance Society, of which society the defendant was the secretary. The object of the present action was to recover from the society the; sum of 3551. paid by the deceased, on the ground that at the period of his entering into the contract he was not of sound mind. It appeared that shortly after the purchase of the annuities in question, the deceased was confined in several lunatic asylunv.7, and that lie died in an unsound state of mind. The question left for the jury to decide by the Lord Chi e f B aron was, whether the plaintiff was, at the time of making the contract, of a sound mind, and had the defendant any notice of the same ; or was the contract such an one as would reasonably be entered into by a sane person, without fraud on the part of the company. The jury found that he was of unsound mind at the time of the contract, that the contract was per fectly fair, and that there was not slightest ground for attributing fraud to the company. Mr. GURNEY now moved, pursuant to leave given at the trial, to enter a nonsuit, on the ground that there was no evidence to show that the deceased was of un sound mind at the time of his entering upon the contract. Mr. Baron PARKE—A departure has recently been made from the old rule, which prevented any person pleading lunacy as the grounds of non-liability ; but it must be set out in the declaration that the plaintiff was known to be of unsound mind. The Loan CHIEF BARON—Tiore is no doubt but that the contract was perfectly fair and honourable, and, for a person in the situation of the purchaser, was highly desirable and advantageous. It was finally arranged that the verdict should be made special in the case by consent of the parties. CROCKFORD V. LORD MAIDSTONE. Mr. JAMES moved in this cause for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Judge who tried the case. The action was brought by the executors of Mr. Crockford to recover a considerable sum of money from the defendant, Lord Maidstone, for entrance fees and subscriptions to the club-rooms established by the late Mr. Crockford. The defendant pleaded to a portion of the declaration that the house in question was a common gaming•house. The Lord Chief Baron, who tried the cause, not being of that opinion, so directed the jury, and the jury, in consequence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. It was now contended that there was evidence to show that this was a common gaming-house within the meaning of the Act.—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS—(THIS DAY). NEWTON AND WIFE V. BOODLE AND OTHERS.-ALLEGED TRESPASS AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT. In this case, which has arisen out of certain proceed ings in Cheltenham regarding Admiral Rickett's pro perty, a rule was obtained by the plaintiffs last term, to show cause why a verdict of guilty should not be en tered against Mr. Norman, one of the defendants ; and why the judgment entered in last Michaelmas term should be set aside, a term's notice not having been given. The plaintiff complained that the late Lord Chief Justice had improperly withheld the evidence ad duced against the defendant Norman from going to the jury, and that a bill of exceptions, taken by the plaintiff, had not been sealed before the death of the Learned Judge. The action was for the alleged false imprison ment of Mrs. Newton, who had been taken on a writ. The defendants are Mr. Wroe, the registered proprietor of the Cheltenham Examiner ; Mr. Norman, said to be the editor ; and their law agents, Messrs. Boodle and Lawcott ; and the proceedings arose out of a previous action, "Newton v. Norman," for an alleged libel in the newspaper respecting the claims of Mrs. Newton to Admiral Rickett's property, in which a verdict went for the defendant. A writ for the costs was issued, on which Mrs. Newton was arrested ; hence the present action, which was tried on the 20th of February, 1845. To the declaration not guilty and a justification were pleaded. A verdict of not guilty was given on behalf of Norman, and with regard to the other three, though the trespass was proved, a verdict of justification was returned in their favour. After some other proceedings for delay on the part of the plaintiff, judgment against him was signed on Nov. 14th last, hence the rule fixed for argument today. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD was heard at some length against the rule, contending there was not a tittle of evidence against Mr. Norman, and that with regard to the other point, the regular course of practice had been strictly adhered to. The rule should therefore be discharged. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL followed on the same side. Mr. NEWTON, who conducted his own case, replied in a very long speech. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the rule came before the Court under peculiar circumstances. It appeared on the trial that the Lord Chief Justice had ruled that there was no evidence f©r the jury against Norman. A bill of exceptions was tendered against the decision of the Judge, and also for the non-production of the writ, or evidence of the writ, ma which the alledged trespass had taken place. A note of the exceptions was handed to the Judge, and subsequently , the sealing of the bill founded on these notes was de layed, from the original notes having been mislaid, and from some other circumstances that had arisen. Shortly after this the Lord Chief Justice died, but before the bill of exceptions had been closed. This was a matter the present Court had not the power to remedy. On a former occasion a motion on this head had been dis charged, but that substantial justice might be done the rule in the present form was allowed. Having now gone into the points raised by the present application, and h e having w as ogonef opinionover the that notes there of wasth e n l late t e evidenceL or d Chief hi whatevere fJustice, to fix Norman, and he considered the ruling of the l ate Chief Justice on that head quite correct. On this ground, as well as on the others stated, he considered the rule should be discharged. The rest of their Lordships concurred. Rule accordingly discharged. place for the purpose of committing a felony. The sen tence of the Court upon him was, that he be transported for the term of seven years. Upon hearing the sentence, the prisoner's whining tone changed into defiance, and he left the bar mutter ing curses against the judge and the jury. Joseph Moss was indicted for stealing a bar of lead, the property of Thomas Ray. It appeared that the prisoner's master had been making some alterations on the premises of the prosecutor, and the prisoner being engaged in carting away rubbish, availed himself of the opportunity to steal the lead. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months imprisonment, with hard labour. George Mills was indicted for attempting to pick pockets at the General Post-office, on the night of the 28th ult. The prisoner was one of a numerous and dexterous gang of thieves, who infest the post-offices at St. Martin's-le-Grand and Charing-cross, about the time when there is the greatest rush of persons before the closing of the boxes, and on the evening named in the in dictment, George Seymour swore that he felt a tug at his pocket, and on looking round saw the prisoner close by, and a servant of the Oriental Club deposed to having seen the prisoner's hand in the pocket of Mr. Seymour. A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Charles Dohrman, an itenerant German musician was indicted for stealing a cornopean, the property of _a countryman of his named Jacob Vandenbergh. The evidence of the prosecutor was given through the medium of an interpreter, as well as the prisoner's de fence. A constable of the R division deposed to having seen the prisoner enter the prosecutor's shop, in Rosemary lane, about seven o'clock in the evening. and having watched him, owing to his manner being rather sus picious, he saw him take down the trumpet from a hook upon which it hung in the shop, and after he got into the street, place it to his lips and sound it, to lull suspicion. After following him a short distance, he took him into custody. The prosecutor identified the article as his property. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri soner, who implored for mercy in broken English, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Do. New Ditto Extension ~ 7!

This bankrupt, who is well known in the literary world for his connexion with the Era newspaper' Puna, &c.,&c., came up to pass his final examination , which had been adjourned sine die for want of suffici ent accounts. Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the bankrup t, and Mr. Braham, a solicitor, and one of the creditors, to oppose. The latter claimed costs for the last opposition, and contended that the order of the Court was, that the bankrupt should not come up again until he had filed a new balance-sheet, and paid the costs. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, the general rule was that the costs should be the costs of the assignees, allowedt ando themnot individual as a general r creditors, d rule,ito rs, it and w ou i l f d and the Court fees; to hold t o t h e contrar y, would be an extremely bad precedent. It was f or t h e assignees to opposewperere mium for oppressive opp os iti on, and the b an k r upt might be subjected to great injustice. Mr. BRAHAM said few debt s h a d b een p r oved, and the one chosen as assignee was sil en t. cboests a The Learned ComussioNEß—l need not remind you that there is the official assignee, whose duty it is to look after the estate, and it was on his report principally the examination was adjourned. You have taken upon yourself the duty of the assignee, besides, not being of opinion that you are entitled to costs, I do not see why the bankrupt should not now pass. Mr. BRAHAM pressed for an adjournment for a short time, for the attendance of Mr. Corks. said that The Learned COMMISSIONER subsequently the bankrupt was entitled to pass, the subject (:?,,fr his conduct might be inquired into when he cam e up f certificate. lication The sth of February was appointed for the *l 3 for the certificate. SECONDARIES'--(THIS DAY). HANKS V. HANKS. The plaintiff in this action resides at Abingdon. ac- The defendant is a cab proprietor at Kensington. The tion was brought to recover the sum of 41. Os. 6d., the balance of money lent. The defendant pleaded a set-off. Mr. HAI°, who appeared for the plaintiff, proceeded to state the case, from which it appeared that the plaintiff had been violently assaulted in consequence of hia at tempt to obtain payment. The Learned SDCONDAIOZ suggested that the matter should be referred to a mu Mal friend, as evidence given in a court of law between father and son tended to fur ther irritate the feelings of each, and to crimination and recrimination. said there would be neither Mr. PARRY, for defendant; on his part, and he had offered to submit the matter. Mr. HAIR said his client wois not present, and he could not consent. The case was then procef)ded with. The principal evidence for the plaintiff was Stephen Hanks, his son, who deposed to having been asked by his brother to solicit the loan from his fa ther. On the contra ry , how ; ever, a daughter and niece %mere called to p rove the loan of 10/. by defendant, and t hat the 51. was part payment. Notes of hand were put in with a view of showing de fendant had received 101. from a Loan Society to lend his father, but the dates aid not tally with the alle g;or. ed te occurrence, and it was con , ;e nded it was a clerical error. The SECONDARY said, it as a very painful exhibition was it was not even now tRo late to com e to a p arrangement. If not, the jury would have to sa ther there had been a Doan previously, and whet?: whe ther the 5/. was to go in part paymevit. The jury were considering for a lo ng time, and ulti mately gave a verdict for the plaintiff. The case lasted all the morning. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (ISM DAY.) _David Cleary was indicted for stealing a handker chief, the property of Henry Joseph Wood. The facts of the case were of the ordinary character. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, de livered, in a tremulous:tone of voice apparently with the deepest feelings of contrition and a sense of acute suffering, an unusually well-worded address to the jury, in which he stated that he had oi3ly just come out of the House of Correction, where he had been detained in de fault of a trifling fine; that he was in extreme destitu tion, having been refused the slightest relief both by his father, who was in independent eirctanstances, and by the parish authorities. Ile was found Guilty. p The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in passing sentence, after communicating with the officer of the House of Correc tion, said the prisoner's audacity and artful duplicity were almost without parallel. It appeared that he bad y `been three times convicted of felony , twice for violentl assaulting the police, and twice f o r b e i ng in a public EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.) RICHARDSON V. CARMICHAEL. Mr. MARTIN, on the part of the defendant, moved to set the verdict aside which upon the trial at the last sittings after term at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Baron, passed for the plaintiff for a sum of 231. The plaintiff was a bookseller and stationer, and brought his action to recover the amount due for certain articles of stationery to the use of the Dover, Boulogne, and St. Omer Railway, of which the defendant was one of the members of the managing committee. It was now contended that the verdict was against evidence, inasmuch as no proof was given that the goods in question were supplied to the use of the company; on the contrary, it was proved that some of the goods were sent to the private residence of the secretary. Rule granted. SIMMONDS V. MUNTZ AND SPOONER. In this cause, which was also tried at Guildhall during the last sittings, the verdict passed for the defendant, with liberty for the plaintiff to move to enter the verdict for the sums respectively of 3001. and 1001. The plaintiff was a traffic taker employed by the managing committee, of which the defendants were members, of the Manchester, Southampton, and Oxford Railway, to take the traffic upon the line of the pro jected railway, which was stated to be about sixty miles in length, at the rate of 151. per mile, to be paid in three separate instalments, the first on the commence ment of the work, the second on its completion, and the third was to be contingent upon the passing of the Bill. The first instalment was paid, and it was to recover the amount due upon the second and third instalments that the action was brought. There was also a special count, under which the plaintiff sought to recover a sum of money for extra mileage, the line being sixty-five miles in length instead of sixty ; and also a further sum for extra work in various alterations and additions to the traffic tables, and also obtaining evidence in support of the same. Mr. HUMFREY now moved to set the verdict aside, and enter it for the plaintiff for the sum of 3001., being the amount of the third instalment, the second having been paid into court. Mr. Baron PARKE—The third instalment was condi tional, but the conditions had never been complied with, and therefore that sum could not be recovered. Mr. HUMFREY now contended that the plaintiff wa a entitled to the same for extra mileage, it having beef proved that the line was 65 miles in length. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You can only recover th.p amount of the second instalment upon that item; th record admits the payment of the first instalment, anti the third you cannot recover. Upon this ground you can take a rule to enter the verdict for 251. only. Upon the remaining grounds of the application, for remodelling the traffic tables, in consequence of t he abandonment of a portion of the line, and obtaining e vi deuce, the Court also granted the rule. LAME V. LAMBERT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the f To pricier of the Sunday Times newspaper, to recover f tom the defendant the sine of 27/. for advertisements inserted in the Sunday Times, appertaining to the Jam aica Nor thern,Southern, and Eastern Connecting Rail v, of which the defendant was one of the managing commit tee. The verdict passed for the plaintiff for the sum claim ed. Mr. HUMFREY now moved to set the verdict aside,. on the ground that there was no evidence that the or dc , r which was given by Mr. Orlando Aguilar, the secrets try of the company, was given on behalf of the company. The COURT thought that there was evidence to E. 7) io the jury upon the fact, and refused to grant the rule.. LEE V. CAMROUX. In this cause, which was tried at Guildhall during the last sittings before the Lord Chief Baron, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the stun of 355/., with BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William Johnsen was placed at the bar before Mr. Jar dine, charged with illegally entering the area of the house of a Mrs. Forsyth, in Russell-street, Bedford square, and stealing some meat, bread, &c., from a safe therein. It appeared that Mr. Ashworth, a next neighbour of the prosecutrix, saw the prisoner get into the area, by climbing over the rails. He immediately went to the spot and found the prisoner in the area, who clambered up by the water-butt for the purpose of getting out, and Mr. Ashworth called a constable, and gave him in custody. Ile said he went down to get his cap, having thrown it down by accident, and he thought he had a right to go down after his own property. Two pieces of bread, each rather more than half of a 4-Ib. loaf, a piece of meat, and some other articles, which had been deposited in the safe, hanging in the area, were after wards found in the area, having been thrown on the ground. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed For trial. MARLBRO I -STREET-(THIS DAY.) Edward Crowther, alias Edwin Nalder, was charged with stealing two silk umbrellas from a shop in Regent street. Police• constable 182 C said he was on duty last night, about eight o'clock, in Regent-street, and saw the pri soner take two silk umbrellas from the door of Mr. Melton's shop, 194, Regent-street. Prisoner was run ning, and held two umbrellas in his hand. Witness tripped him up as he passed, secured the prisoner and one of the umbrellas, but the other was carried off by one of the prisoner's accomplices. The prisoner, who had been before convicted, was committed for trial. CLERKEN WELL-(THIS DAY). A miserable-looking old woman, named Bridget Moly neux was charged betore Mr. Combe with s t ea li ng 13 pounds of pork from the shop of Mr. John Conway, a cheesemonger in Gray's Inn-lane. The prisoner watched the opportunity, and while Mr. Conway was busy with a number of customers, snatched the pork from the window and ran off with it. She was captured after a sharp chase of nearly a quarter of a mile. The prisoner, who said she was compelled by hunger :o steal the pork, was committed for trial. TENET, SAUNDERSFOOT, AND SOUTH WALES RAILWAY AND PIER.—The first ordinary meeting of this compiny under their Act was held to-day, at their offices, in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, when the report of the provisional committee was unanimously adopted.

PRICE OF SUGAR. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending January 12, 1847, is 335. 10d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of January 15.) SuaAa..—To-day West India Muscovado of every kind was much wanted, and the trade were willing to pay previous advanced rates, but business was much checked by the scanty supply at market, and in consequence the private sales amounted to only 100 hhds and tres. At publie sale 152 hhds 3 tierces and 2 barrels of Tobago Sugar sold readily at is to 2s above those that prevailed on Friday last. The total sales for the week amount to 1,200 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—The home trade have been eager purchasers of all descriptions of Refined Sugar, but the supply at market has been far from sufficient for their wants, and a further advance in prices has taken place.

FREEMASONRY AND THE FRE- SENT DISTRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The cause in which I write, not being of private interest, but one in which a large and suffering portion of our fellow countrymen are deeply concerned, I feel confident that you will again kindly grant me space in the columns of your valuable journal, that I may reite rate my appeal to the Freemasons of England on behalf of their miserable and starving brethren of the United Kingdom. In a structure like masonry, which from foundation to coping stone, is charity—Heaven-born charity—the appeal of distress must surely find sympathy and relief. It surely can only be necessary that that cry should be heard, to find open hearts and extended hands responding to the call in a manner worthy of the sons of " Light." Charity is the distinguishing charn teristic of a Freemason's heart: he who feels not the warmth of that virtue of virtues in his breast is un worthy of the name of Mason: him I pass over and ap peal to those who, deeply impressed with the obligations of the order, shrink not from putting them in practice when necessity requires. Thank God, it is long since an occasion like the present called for the sympathy and aid of the craft, and when the evil hour has passed, long may it be ere its dark visage throws its shadow over us again. Sickness, nakedness, and famine, with united powers, stalk amid the poorer masses of our countrymen, and in their track leave misery, agony, and death. " The superfluity of the rich is the patrimony of the poor." Who is there of us who does rot find cash to expend upon some superfluity? Oh this time of desolation grudge not a trifle to alleviate the . misery that groans within the length and bread th of the land. Freemasons of England! do something As A BODY to rescue the sufferers from "Death, and all the sad variety of pain." It is your duty at all times—it is doubly so noa To. Jan. 14. THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA. TO TUE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR, --Observing in your paper of this day the cor reqmndence between Mr. Bunu and Mrs. Butler, calls to mind the following facts : In the year 1765 David Garrick was at the head of the Drury-lane company with a salary per night of 2/. Iss. 6d. ; Mr. Yates (the famous Othello) and his wife, 31. 6s. Bd. ; Palmer an 3 his wife, 2/. ; Ki ng (the colt:. brated Sir Peter Teazle and Lord Ogleby), 1/. Gs. 8,1. ; Parsons (the famous comedian), 1/. 6s. Bd. ; Mrs. Ca,- ner, 21. 103. ; Mrs. Pritchard, 21. 6s. Bd. ; Mrs. Clive, 11. 15s. ; Miss Pone (the first of chambermaids), 13s. 4d.; Signor Guestinelli (chief singer), 1/. 3s. 4d. ; and Signor Grimaldi and his wife (chief dancers), 1/. All the above persons were of first-rate talent ; eating and drinking, indeed all the necesa r i es o f life were as expensive in the year 1763 as in the year 1847. Either actors and actresses in those days were under-paid, or the actors and actresses of the present day are over. paid. Your obedient servant, London, Jan 14. A PLAY-GOER.

DURATION OF THE LIVES OF NOBLES AND SOVE REIGNS.—ExcIuding deaths by violence, the average duration of life among the English aristocracy was at a very low point in the fourteenth century ; it rose to a maximum i❑ the curly part of the sixteenth century ; and thenceforward it gradually declined till the close of the eighteenth century. The average duration of life (as inferred from the age at death) of sovereign princes since the Christian era (excluding violent deaths), is, on the contrary, gradually and steadily increased from about 52 years, in the first five centuries, to about 58 years in the last century. The most recent comparisons give the whole expectation of life at 21 years of age in the three classes of the sovereigns, the aristocracy, and the gentry of this country, as 54, 65, and 67i- years respectively, and at the age of 51 the expectation is 64, 72, and 74 years. Thus kings are placed at the bottom of the scale. It is stated by one of our contemporaries that the French Government is about to take into consideration a project which Napoleon intended to execute for establishing a hue of signals along the whole of the French coast, so as to put them all in immediate communication with each other VA 3% 39 25% 35% 58 1 ,4 92% % P 78 124 3 4 P 27 3 4 2% 31 /8 1 7 % ate, 75% 291 231 A 5 1 4 4% 5% 3 3 % 23/4 22 1 / 4 37% 344 1% 34 ..... 8 1/8 2 Ys 12 1 / 2 2% ?VA 16 1 4 4i-A; 71/2 3% 1% 14% 12% 4 3 / 4 2% 31% 12xd - 7 1 26 1 4 4►,2 LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND ()TITER COM PANIES' STOCK.
