Lnrd o f th e Manor of Hampstead , &C. kc., on the SOURCES of BODILY and IdENTAI. DISEASE and tha P , IIA.:TICABILITY of th e i r ERADICATION. By CIIARLES F . J. LORD, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, kc. kc., London : John 011ivler, 59, Pall Mall. The members of this excellent association, which pays particular respect to the aged and the decayed of their timber, assembled last nht in the Freemasons Taverr, and sat down, together with .their friends, to dinner; S.r Benjamin Hall in the chair. Every arrangement for the delight or convenience of the guests seemed to he appreciated t o th e i r f u ll ex t ent b y a ll present. After dinner the Non nobis was sung, and the usual toasts in honour of her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal Family, and the Army and Navy, were given with all the honours. The Chairman then rose to propose the toast of the evening. It was " Success to the Association of the Eating-house and Coffee-house Association." The Chairman, in introducing the toast, referred to the com paratively lqte increase of the class out of whom rose the members of the society, who had been in the ratio of 2,000 to 10 during the years since when it first appeared in society. The lion. Baronet in the course of his speech pronounced a high eulogium on the efforts of the coffee house keepers to advance the intellectual character of the people. Mr. C. LusnixoTosr, who sat on the right" of the Chairman, proposed the Chairman'S health, and paid him a high cotnplitnent. . . M. COCHRANE, who sat on the left of the chair, gave the " Press;" and spoke at length upon the reciprocal advantages, which the press and the people equally received. Mr. HUMPHREYS then read a report of the finances of the Society for the year, in which Sir B. Hall tip peered for rOl - 10s. ; John Masterton, W. - si. ; Mr. Conyfeera, 5/. ss. ; and a number of others equally worthy of. notice. After the other usual toasts, the assembly broke up, entirely satisfied with the entertainments of the evening. Sorry always to find ourselves lonely, we were sorry es pecially t 6 find that we were obliged to disapprove of the arrangement, which prevented us by the distance at which we were compelled to occupy our place, from hearing either the Chairman or any of his worthy com peers round him. It was with a far different wish we went to join the celebration of the anniversary of a noble institution, but if the friends of the Secretary ex hided him and the press from the neighbourhood of the Chairman, they entailed an evil on the public and the institution which they were met to support. Only one fact more we stay to mention in justice both to the chairman and to the guests.. Sir Benjamin Hall having• consented to do himself and the company the honour to take the chair at the anniversary dinner of this Association, agreed to preside over the assembly at five P.M. On the afternoon of the assembly, when the guests were already met at five o'clock, the hour of dinner, a letter was received from this indefatigable statesman, informing the guests present that he could not preside till halt an hoer past six o'clock. But this hour was again ushered in by a note, intimating that the Hon. Baronet would be present in ten minutes thereafter. We are glad to be able to say that the Hon. Baronet did come; the guests, moreover, waited his arrival, and sat down somewhat on the yonder side of seven, instead of five, o'clock, to what could scarcely be other than a cold collation. This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, 1,11 sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintlins that the high character of the work is n referable Lo its mere connexion with the Post-office; for an important change has ~ een g,ra.lually introduced into the man lier of collecting the intl)rmation ; and a larger portion of the wt rk than heretofore has been confident to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, :he plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nur his the proprietor tested content with his past suce.ss, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its hulk with out sty increase of price. Ihe l'ostal Directory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished 4. iy by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking mMateness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column ; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the " Directory" will fit d that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial country this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY 11ER tLD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of 'the feat-OtlCe Directory for 1847 is already In our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. Tee pro duction et a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metrsirdis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur chasing the, new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. lIERAPAN trB RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements unon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge. ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation We know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as wits done in the last, to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of_nt.ight over right in the il ioSsession of Government. But shouhl abe attempted, surely t following statement of its con ductois. will go 'home to-the conselenees,;lfilley have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping. aterference of Goverii meat. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere connexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the com pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory' 'sassing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this.

Of coarse, th e postal treaty with Prussia has not beets overlooked ; and hi minor points the work seems to b ear t he test of search into matters in ' ol e h changes have been very recent. The f MORNING POS • , Nov. 19, 1846. forty-eighth annual publication of this admirable work has Oat men issued. Any dissertation on the usefu'ness of this volume, er Its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the C u r t Palls for so many years past, must be quite unneeessary.

We believe that the present volume is not to be aliktebia in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate of toed end specific information is no less a typographidal wonder than a Vrodigious monument of diligence and enterprise. Same dozen or so of separate Directors are included in this huge periodical—the only sae. it - seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the ornamental. The " Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the Government offices, and a record of official personages. This is fol lowed by a "Street Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every thoroughfare, and the points at which the streets are intersected by those at right angles; while the "Commercial and Professional Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above. Then comes a "Trades' Directory," in which the names are allocated under their respective Wittig's. The " Law Directory" is a list of judges, Queen's counsel, sergeants, barristers, attorneys, &c., with a cata logue of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their peculiari ties of jurisdiction. The "Court Directory" comprises the addresses Of the nobility and gentry ; and the " Parliamentary Directory" is a record of the Members of the House of Lords and Commons, with an alphabetical list of the boroughs, cities, and counties returning Members to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, kc. The " Postal Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery o .every Post-office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places throughout the world to which mails are dispatched front London ; the rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road mails, . The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities, the public companies, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the Churches_ and chapels, the newspapers, Sic. ; and the "conveyance Directory" includes the railway tables, the coach and booking offices, the wharfs, &c. The volume closes with Banking and Assurance Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the multi tudinous nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of s ubordinate directories, which meet every conceivable want, pre rtl°ll a curious analysis of the public and private Institutions of e metropolis and of the commercial world. Every person is to be : l and under his proper section, from a prime minister down to a officer—every establishment, from a palace to a lodging rse- The editor, in his preface, takes occasion to congratulaie himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced, MaalPatly flowing from the employment of " selected agents," insteag of the ordinary carriers of the Post-office.

"Post-entice London Directory, 1847," is just delivered. • Though it is apparently limited to London, it is in reality a national Work. None of the leading towns can well be without it ; it must b e en essential to every countinghouse in the kingdom, as well as to every place of business in and about the metropolis. It is an invalu ,,_able work of its kind ; and the extent and minute ness of its useful de ._ a l, are truly wonder ful. Being prepared " under the immediate and • 1111,cial patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest and completest means were, of course, at the command of the pro- Prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty ' eighth annual publication. Few cetnmercial amid trading men can 'ow require particular description of the mall. important and useful larorMation to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Hi • re et ol 7- Preceded by an admirable and persalcuous Map of London, • reared expressly, it is declared, for the wor k, b y Mr. B.

Commercial," "Trades," " Law , " " Court," " Parlia tientarf," " Postal; " City," " Conveyance," " Bankin;," and many other Directories. • The hope is express e d i n th e p re f ac e that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-offi ce L on d o n Directory" may be found "in all respects to equal th e b es t o f it s p re d ece ssors." From very consider Vll examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and information en matters which it must be so difficult, labori us, and expensive to collect, we hesitate-not to say, that this unassuming is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede ,„, Fs, but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are usefulness important alterations and addition., largely adding to the rentiness of the book. It Is intimated, and truly, that although all ...n tition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that here h as b een no r e laxation in the multifari ou s l a b our s to per ,e2',;„__ute extraordinary work.

Nothing but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer. • Among the important alterations will be found those introduced into 1.11e!` postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and complete; and must much increase the daily, it might be more truly prenounced • its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the trader, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia caused very considerable changes in the rates of postage as effecting the Austrian dominions, Batten, Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark, the German States, Hamburg, Hanover, Lubeck, Meckienburgh, Older.- burgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wurtemburg, ice. &c. &c., those changes arc detailed " precisely as they arranged to come into operation on the Ist of January, 1847." The other changes are not only numerous, but all the intelligence is announced 'to be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the appearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The business merits of the work are of the highest order, and render it, of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for its completeness, fulness, and usefulness. SUN, Nov. 18,1846. The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it is. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years under the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the manager of this work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had the effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work careless. Ile is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a continuance of the same untiring energy by which the success was in the first instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and minuteness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable to every commercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, however, is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the articular page required to furnish the intormation—a marvellous 'stance of clearness of arrangement in a st ork consisting of upwards Of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This Directory •is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever offered to the public. Ot not only time usefulness, but time indispen sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment entertain a doubt ; and consiCering the completeness and fulness of the latormatien furnished, and the enormous outlay of time amid o capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the Information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published really wonderful. T HE EXPERIENCE LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. Edinburgh, 15, George-street. London, 58, King William-street. Established 1843. Capital 310,0001. This Company's Tables are based upon the EXPERIENCE OF THE SEVEN fEEN LIFE OFFICES,as contained in the Report of their Mortality published in 1843. The Company embraces, in its constitution, the adva'itages of both the mutual and proprietary systems of Assurance. The SHORT PERIO I) RATES will be found, in comparison with other. Companies, to be exceedingly favourable to Insurers, and the rates for the whole period of life as low as Is consistent WITH PERFECT SECURITY. For prospectuses, &c., apply at the offices as above, or to any of the Agents throughout the kingdom. By order of the Directors, T. YUILLE WARDROP, Secretary. VICTORIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. Id, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY. DIVISION OF PROFITS. At the first Septennial Meeting of this Company, held on the 11th March last, a BONUS, averaging 23 per cent. on the amount of premiums paid, was declared on Policies entitled to participate in Profits. Four fifths, or 80 per cent. of the entire Profits of the Company, will at future divisions be appropriated to all Assurers entitled to share therein. Every advantage is offered by this Company to Assurers. On Policies taken out for the whole term of life, one-half of the An- nual Premiums thereon may remain unpaid for five years. Parties Assured with the Company are allowed to reside in many of the Colonies without additional charge, and the Premium required for the East or West Indies, and other extra risks, is more than usually moderate. By a plan originating with this Company, great security is offered to parties Assuring the Lives of others. Advances continue to be made to Assurers on Assignable Property or Income, and also on the guarantee of most undoubted personal sureties. Detailed Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, by application ut the Office, or by letter addressed to the Actuary. WILLIAM RATRAY, Actuary and Secretary. GLOBE, Nov. 21, 1846, • Kelly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just *lade its appearance for the ensuing year. The visit mass of infor !nation which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but absolutely necessary as a part of the office fttrniture of every man of business ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, Who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions, and localities of the great metropolis. In its present extended form, the book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense which it has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have beta immense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly knows which most to be strack with and admire—the excellent arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the city which requires such a directory. The volume, moreover, contains au excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 15, 1846. . . The forty-eighth annual publication of this highly-important and Seethl work has just been issued ; and we must confess that its bulky appearance has surprised us not a little ; and when we reflect ' that the price remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting the materials must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality of Mr, Kelly, the proprietor. In a commercial point of view, per haps, so book ever contained so much useful matter. Among other Information, there is an Official Directory," a street Directory," a" Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Direc tory," a " Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a " Convel ce Directory," and a " Banking Three tory,"—in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and pers ne in ordiaary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in trade. Every description of information has been corrected to the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of mind and exertion of body. Sewed with-the book is an excellently engraved Map of London, more extended and accurate as to the suburbs than any map we have seen.; and to make it as complete a reference as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal Directory" there are the new rates with various parts of the Con tinent which will come into operation on the Ist if January. Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors ; and we are nct surprised that other Directories should hays gone to the tomb of all the Capulets. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1646. The French people have done themselves some credit by their in- Anstrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though in genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the industrial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move . tnent of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume many in stances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart laent. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private *dents, the changes of residence are now brought down to a later Period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is conse fEtentlY enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer tallY established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro vulbi, that any Anther recommendation of it is superfluous. - - - JOAN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846. This annual leviathan is already comp l e ted and p ublished ; but a proof that the rapidity with which it must have passed through the Press has not operated against its ca reful accurac y , we ma y cation that the changes rendered ueces sar y b y the ver y recent deter of Mr. Stewart, M.l'. for Renfrewahire, are duly attended ' Se e Pages 1669 and 1676).

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Isarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re titled, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con tinued to come off, till he because, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bale -, . as if h!4 11 , fad had lain stet td;' lie-. J. E. Daniel. then clergyman'of 'the put tih, offered him a wig as a substitute for "Tics lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of noWLAND'S MACASSAR. OIL, and It is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was .used the growth recommenced, and he has now to ho est of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new grow th is curly and strong.

A N Additional and Important Evidence of the Salutary Effects of BL AIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon,of Kin,,scliffe, Northamptonshire. " Kingseliffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846. " To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. Sir,—l feel it a duty which 'to yourself and the public to nform you of th e great benefit which e I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills During several years I was gout, fre quently laid up by attacks of * being unable to attend to business for months at a ti me. I had often been advised to try litlair's Pills, but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was in duced to take them, and from which I found speedy relief. This is several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack conies on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " SAMUEL DIXON." The above testim onial exhibits the never -failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present ag e, none have colt ributed so mu c h t o te comfort and ease of the com munity, nor conf erred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the important discovery of BLAIR'S GOT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of whi c h h as been tested by the approval rind recommen dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequen tly treated as tooth ache, &e. They require ne i ther confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

MY AGREEMENT WITH MOSES AND SON. Messrs. MOSES and SON. and myself, you must know, Enter'd into agreement a few years ago ; This agreement, of course, was a mutual bond, Which equally called upon each to respond. I cannot remember all, word for word, But as much as I can shall be willingly heard. We promise (said MOSES and SON) to supply The very best clothing whenever you buy ; We agree, and we pledge our word to the bond, That the cloth shall be such as may closely be conn'd ; We Mal ourselves down (said E. MOSES and SON), That the fit and the make shall ne'er be outdone. We pledge that the workmanship always shall stand Without any fracture, as witness our hand. And we furthermore promise to try each endeavour To sell all our articles cheaper than ever. With regard to myself, I agreed not to go To any but MOSES and SON'S famed depot. I promised to buy all my articles there, As I thought the agreement was all fair and square. Thus you've heard the agreement. which ne'er has been broken, Since we've each of us kept every word that was spoken ; And ne'er have had to regret what I've done In making agreement with MOSES and SON.

Mrs. Butler (late Miss Fanny liemble) made her first appearance on the stage since her retirement, at this theatre on M play evening. The part chosen for her debt was that of Julia, in the Hunchback, a character which she herself had created originally, and in which the majorityt of her suc cessors have taken her as their model. On her first appear ance she was greeted with most enthusiastic applause—so enthusiastic that her reception apparently unnerved her for the time, and prevented her doing full justice to the earlier scenes. She warmed, however, as she proceeded, and the celebrated "Do it," produced the same electrical effect as ever. She was called for at the conclusion, and received with cheers, which lasted several minutes. She was ad mirably supported by Mrs. Stirling, whose Helen was quite equal to the Julia of Mrs. Butler, and by Mr. Cresswick, who acted Master Walter, and by humanizing the Hunchback, made him more interesting than any of his predecessors have done. Compton's Modus was exceedingly quaint. The house was very well attended. NEW STRAND THEATRE. Mcnday evening the performances at this theatre, which is now under the sole management of Mr. Fox Cooper, were calculated to sustain the high character which it has obtained for the melodrama. The first piece, Hogarth's Mirror, was a very successful attempt to embody that inimitable produc tion of Hogarth—Marriage a-la•Mlode—with which every connoisenr is familiar. The story, as represented by llogarth is simply that of a young female who is forced by her father, a wealthy and an ambitious cit, to marry a profligate nobleman, notwithstanding her attachment to a young barrister. Atter some severe struggles between love and duty, the heroine yields to the influence of the former, ss hich leads to a chapter of horrors—to wit, the assassination of her husband by her paramour, and the poisoning of her self, under the influence of remorse for her crimi nal conduct. With the exception of an episode, the limning of the painter was adhered to by the dramatist, and the costumes were quite correct. The acting was excellent. Mr. Darcie, as the Earl of Normenfield, gave a very truthful impersonation of a dissolute nobleman ; and Miss Love, as Margaret Mammon, the heroine, embodied very forcibly the struggles of a young and ardent female, between the dictates of duty, and the strong yearnings of a deep passion. The minor characters were creditably sustained ; and the piece, which was ushered in by a humourous and appropriate address, delivered by Mr. Henry Lee, and followed by a lively epilogue by Mr. Darcie, in which latter there were some pertinent allusions to the decadence of some of those tastes whioh characterised the age at which the legitimate drama flourished, was an nounced for repetition. Two humourous pieces followed, and the evening's entertainments concluded with a new ballet, entitled, The Arabian Nights Entertainments, in which up wards of sixty coryph6es were introduced. The whole per formances elicited considerable applause from a numerous audience. ST. JAMES'S ASSEMBLY Rooms. FEMALE AMERICAN SERENADERS. These" dark ladies," whose performances at Liverpool and Manchester have created quite a furore in those towns, have at length ventured in the metropolis, and are now performing at the St. James's) Assembly Rooms (late Crockford's), St. James's-street. There are seven of them. Their costume is that of Indian Princesses : and, like their brethren, they ac company their songs on the banjo, the bones, the tamborine, and the accordion, or rather the seraphine, rer which the lady conductor of the concert presides 'and on which she performs most attistically. These ladies give several of the well k nown n i gger songs with great spirit and correctness, but they also, adopting the custom o f the West Indi an negroes, g i ve several nigger songs (pz?ces de cireon s t ance ) a d apte d to we ll k nown popular airs. This is a novelty and a distinguishing feature of this entertainment. As an instan ce , we may mention "De In vitation to de Ball," which is sung by the whole company, and the air of which is that of the popular ballad, " Come, dwell with me." This air has been harmonised for seven female voices, and is exquisitely sung by these ladies. Nothing can exceed the precision with which the voices go together. It would be well that the chorus singers of our theatre should take a lesson from the female American Serenaders. Their per formance is the very perfection of " part singing " and to a ll lovers of madrigals and glees, we can prom i se a rich treat. They succeed, we think better in serious then in comic songs, and as the gem of the performance, we would point out " The Phantom Canoe," this is we believe a new song. It was exquisitely sung by a lady, who calls herself Yarico, who possesses a rich and powerful contralto voice, which has been highly cultivated and is completely under command. H e r execution of this song was perfect, and if Ethiopia produces many such musicians as Miss Yarico, the black opera will sure'be a rival to the Italian. The room was crowded.

ART-UNION OF LONDON. The general meeting of this Association was held yesterday, at the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, for the purpose of receiv- 4 ing the Council's report, and for the distribution of the amount subscribed for the purchase of works of art. The at tendance was very large, the pit and boxes being filled, and the stage crowded. Among the members of the Council present, !sc., we observed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, president, the Marquis de Sommery, Sir W. Ross, RA., Right Hon. M. Gibson, M.P., R.A. Cooper, Esq., R.A., hew. 11. Penny. F. T. Holliston, Esq., J. Parkis, Esq., R. A. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was warmly applauded, took the chair, and said—Ladies and Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in informing you that since the last time I had the honour of presiding at your meeting, when I announced that there were 16,000 subscribers, that this number is now increased by 1,000, which, considering everything, is most encouraging and satisfactory, and is a proof of how the taste for the Arts is increasing in this country. Having had the honour of presiding over, and addressing you so often, I shall not trouble you by en• tering into any more details, but refer you to the report of the secretary. I have only further to observe that Mr. Bunn has, with the greatest kindness, lent us this house, but he requests us to conclude our proceedings by three o'clock, and therefore I hope that those gentlemen who may address you will be as short in their - speeches as possible.—(Laughter.) The Noble President uFluded by calling on the secretary to read the report, which WEs of a length that prevents our in serting it this day. The principal prizes were two of 3001., three of 200/., five of 150/., six of 100/., twelve of SOL, twelve sit 70/., and til i een of 601.; and the successful parties were W. It Alport, 30/. ; F.

Steel, 401.; Mrs. Oliver (Twickenham), 504; R. Potter (Dartford), 300/. W. TuomrsoN, Esq., moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by AULDJO, Esq., and carried amid great applause. Sir W. Ross, R.A., moved a vote of thanks to the council. When he considered the important services they had ren dered, he was sure that there would be a general acquies cence in his motion. Mr. UXWIN said he felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Trium.ts WYsE, E-q., M.P., in a most eloquent addres,, moved a vote of thanks to the honorary secretaries, Messrs. Godwin and Pocock, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Gonwrx acknowledged the compliment. The Illustrious Plat SIDENT hero stated that he was com pelled to vacate the chair, and Mr. %Wyse was moved thereto, and having passed a most flattering eulogium on the late chairman, concluded by moving him a vote of thanks, which was unanimously adopted. After the prizes had been drawn, and the names of the fortunate parties announced, the meeting separated. THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND STEAMER.—This magnificent iron-built steamer made her first trip last week from Inverness to London. On her arrival at Aberdeen Steam Wharf she was visited by crowds of persons, who ad mired her fur the beauty and elegance of her decorations as well as for the gigantic size of her engines. The skylight of the saloon is formed of stained glass, on which are devices of the armorial bearings of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, of the cities of London and Aberdeen, and of the town of Inverness, &c. The arrangements are most complete. There are four elegant state ro, , ms, ladies' cabin, large cabin for gentlemen, and saloon.: Berths for 80 passengerscan be made up with every luxury and accommodation. From stem to stern-post she is 197 feet, her breadth 26 feet, depth 17 feet, engine-room 58 feet long. She was built by Robert Napier, of the Vulcan Foundry, Glasgow. The Aberdeen Steam Company have placed her on the London and Inver ness station, agreeably to the wise of the northern public. The company deserves great credit for their sprit and en terpiise, and the best thanks of the public are due to them for placing such a powerful vessel at the command of those who wish to convey their farm stock and produce to the London market. The Inverness Courier says :—" Cer tainly in elegance and extent of accommodation no vessel at all equal to this has ever been engaged in our northern trade." The vessel is also a fair specimen of the genius and perseverance of the citizens of Glasgow. Mr. Willoughby, the manager, and Captain Anderson, and other officers of the company, were most attentive in conducting the visitors who were anxious to see this magnificent iron steamer. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAT..--.A. guard of honour ar rived by railway this morning from Gosport, to welcome the gallant Sir Harry Smith, who is hourly expected in the Ripon steam-ship. It is in contemplation to give a grand entertainment to the gallant general on his landing, by the public authorities. REscuE OF LIVES.—The Royal Victoria steam ship, on Friday morning last, while on her passage from Lon don to Leith, observed a schooner off the Dudgeon, bearing a signal of distress. Although at the time it was blowing a terrible gale from the north-west, the Royal Victoria imme diately bore down upon her, and discovered that it was the Sarah, of Yarmouth, front Shields for that port, heavily laden with stones, and in a sinking state, baying sprung a leak during the gale.. The life-boat of the st e amer was in stantly launched, and five of her crew having gallantly volunteered to board the schooner, at imminent hazard to themselves, the whole hands, consisting of the master, mate, and two seamen, were rescued from their perilous situation. They were much exhausted from pumping the vessel, which sl - ortly afterwards went down. They, along with their de liverers, were hauled on board the Royal Victoria by ropes ; and the last of them had only got safely on deck when a sea swept away the life-boat, which was thrown under the paddle-viheel of the steamer and knocked to pieces.—Dur ham aronide. MUIR OF ORD MA.RIEET.—The first market of the season was held on Wednesday and Thursday last, and was bat thinly attended. The stock brought forward was much less than that exhibited at the April market of last year, and was also inferior in condition, which must be attributed to the severity of the wint er , the partial failure of the turnip crop, and the scarcity of keep. The demand upon the whole was steady, and fair prices were obtained. Crosses in general may be considered about 19 per cent. below the prices o f last year, and Highland cattle much th e s ame . A good . d eal_ e . of business was done in the latt er d escr ipti on , b u t a consulerabl_ number were left unsold. Mr. Trotter, Gargustown, got Fettis9. l Per head for his two yr o ld crosses ; a lot of 25 from Farm, fetched Si. ; Mr. Macdonald, Neilstown. near Cromarty, sold his lot at 19!.10s. ; Mr.Dickson,Keppoeh'sCrosses realised Brae Farm 61. 10s. ; Mr. Bi nn ing so ld a lot from at 9L ; and Mr. Rose, Drynie, a lot at 71. 10s. and three rears old highland cattle— two years old—fetched from Si. . to 1. 0 from 61. to 9!. 10s. A very superior l t of Highland heifers fetched 11/. There were a few lots of Cheviot and black facedsale. llfr. Laidlaw, Con tin,Kirkton, at 18s., hogs, which met with a dull M r. Rose, bought a lot of cheviots from and another lot was sold to Lord Ward at 215., which were the two principal in t he market. Mr. Duncan, Cro many Mains, sold 2o 200 half Leicester hogs to Mr. Mor ro , o f Allan, at 225. The blackfaeebogs d met with rath er a d u ll sale. Mr. Dickson, Keppoch, sold his lot at 11/. Most of the sheep were, however, left unsold. As the weather seems now settled, and the prospects of keep rapidly advancing, we expect that the condition of the stock will be much im proved, and anticipate a considerable rise in price by next market.—Ross-shire Advertiser. DROITIVICII—INTERESTING DISCOVERY.--A large portion of a very fine tessellated or mosaic pavement, found about eighteen inches deep beneath the surface of Bay's Meadow, near the town of Droitwieh, in the Kidderminster part of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, near where it is joined by the Stoke Prior branch, has been presented to the Worcestershire Natural History Society, 19 Y Mr. M'Caul, the engineer, Mr. Tredwell, the contractor, and the Rev. Mr. Lea, through the hand s o f M r . Jabez AllieF, who attended at the spot, on the 3d instant, and assisted in removing the interesting relic. The pavement is about three yards long by two and a half wide, and about one-fourth o it has b een a l rea d y b rought to the museum. This 1 pave ment not imp ro b a bl y b e l onged to a R oman res idence, and I so it is an i n t erest i ng hi stor i ca l fact i n conn exion with the . hard ancnt Salina.
