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, It gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from liarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re- Sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during whith period firmed to come off, till h e became, to use his own terms, his hair co n - perfectly J Daniel, •• bald as if his h ea d had been shaved ;" and the Rev. . E. then clergyman of th e parish, offered him a wig as a subst for his lost hair. U nder these circumstances , he was induced to itute try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASS Aft 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 new to ho ‘st 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 growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation. —Bell's Messenger. 11"Iss Beware of "Spurious Imitations! --The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASS 1R OIL " on the wrapper.

The full attendance with which he was ho noured on Monday, and the hearty reception with which he was greeted as soon as he made his appearance, were proofs to him that he had not been forgot during his wanderit:gs in other lands. We never heard him in finer voice than he displayed last night. He seems in high health and spirits. The programme contained teeny beautiful songs, some of which he sang for the first time in London. '' The Stuarts of Appin" is one of the noblest songs we ever heard, the music being equally eff ctive with the poetry. The burst from the minnr into the major in the second strain had a thrilling effect. This song cannot tail to prove a great attraction 4it,elf. Another, which be &ang for the first time, was Burn's splendid lyric of " Go, ff,tch to me a pict of wine." He sang it tea beautiful melody, which suited the song admirably ; and it was honoured with a hearty and unanimous encore. He sang very finely the old song, " An thee vvert my alit thing," nhich, old though it be, is one of the most elegant melodies that could be listened to. In his hutnnuroui songs he was as rich te. ever, and ceased much exertion of the risible faculties of his audience. We were glad t, see, by his next Mon- thy's procramme, that it is " An. Hour wi' Burns," in ' which), besides singing many of the ploutiliman Bard's most adurreti lyric.. tar reeites so adutirabry the tatnotis Poo of" Tam e' She ter."

Butler, the widow of th 9 celebrated tragedian and lee user, Samuel Butler, gave her .econd draceatie reading on Wilda) night at Crosby Hall. The attendance in the occa,ien was, we were gratified to observe, very nu merous. and the exertions of the clever elocutionist met with a degree of applause proportionate to their gre at merit. Her recitations, evidently the result of intense study and passionate attachment to the inspit iting works la our most gifted authors, were characterised by a ehasten..ss of cone Tejon, exquisirely refined judgment, and beautiful deity( ry, which afforde I inconte-tible evi &nee that Mrs. Butler is possessed of decided genius. Her powers of description and personation are of no or dinary stamp, and there is in her intonation an bar monious sequence of melody peculiarly benefiting her for enlisting the sympathies and admiration of her patrons. The programme so judiciously sel cted for Mon ( ay night's entertainment, comprised some of the finest passages from Shakspere, Hood, Arnold, and Ather itime. Mrs. Butler, too, appeared in the double capacity of atrhores., and elocutionist, introducing an eft ant ing, romantic sket c h, ent i t l e d " Th e D aughter of Erie," er own composition. Throughout America and the Continent of Europe, where Mrs. Butler frequently and with creditable success, delineated the conceptions of the master-minds of our admired dramatists and poets, this oaenat(ap-di.ef; yeie faction of knowing that her literary efforts were fully recognised by a British audience. " Hamlet's Soliloquy on Death;" " The Last Days of Herculaneum," " Hot spur's Description of a F o p," and " Parrhasius," where the Athenian paint er i s represente d t or t ur i ng t h e Olynthian captive, in or d er t h e b etter t o und e r s t an d t h e pains and passions of his Prometheus, which he was then about to paint, w ere correct l y g i ven. Indeed, we have seldom enjoyed a r i c h er treat than M rs . Butler's illus trations of elocutionary expression; and we trust that she will often afford us similar opportunities of bearing tribute to her unassuming merits. THE SEPA — ItAT - T --- E SYSTEM. At the Dorset Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, the Marquis o f W estm i nster again intro d uce d t o th e Court his o pi n i ons uon the subject of prison dis cipline and separate confinement. The topic had occupied th e a t tent i on of the Court upon th ree f o r mer occasions, a n d h as as many times b een no tic e d in our columns. O n thi s occasion the N o ble Marquis ob served, that th e su bj ect still we i ghe d u p on his mind, and the m ore strongly, because he f e l t , w h e n com mitting a p r i soner to the gaol of Dorc h es t er h e was committing an irreparable injury. He had a perfect recollection o f one case of this kind, where the man left the gaol much worse than when he was sent there, and his re• commitment became necessary. The question was whether or no the separate system was the only means that had been f oun d effectual in reforming offenders, and he submitted that it was. In proof of this, the Noble Marquis adduced the re port of the chaplain of the Preston House of Correc. tion, the opinion of the Governor of the Glasgow douse of Correction, the experience of the Model Prison at Pentonvir e , attested, as it was, by Lord Chichester, the Speaker of the house of Commoes, Sir B. Bnalie, Maj, , r Jebb, and ~tner§; the sentiments expressed at a meeting at Frankfort last year of benevolent and distingoished men from En;.;latid, Gerin2ny, Swit- France, l‘ussia, z-rland, Iraly, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Holland, America, and other tuitions ; and at which meeting a unanimous resolution in favour of separate and solitary confinement was agreed to ; the reports of the inspectors of the Western Penitentiary, at Penn Sylvania, the testimony of Judge Parsons when charging a grand jury in Philadelphia, and the ~pinions of Lord John John Russell in 1837, and of Sir G. Grey during his present term of otfiee;—all which were expressive of the good effect, under pro per management, of the system for which he con• tended. This system had already been carried out in twenty-eight prisons, with three of which he was connected, Find he wished to add Dorset to the num ber. He knew that in rural districts there was a great objection to laying out money, but he wished them to look at this question more as tradesmen than farmers, calculating upon the ultimate return rather than upon the present advantage. He concluded a long address by leaving the subject in the hands of the Court, expressing himself, however, un willing to relinquish a question which he considered of vast consequence to the moral state not only of thot county, but of the nation at large. Mr. G. BANKS.% M.P., the chairman, after thank ing the Noble Lord for the able and comprehensive manner in which he had stated his case, observed that it was very true that the court was cautions in laying out large sums of money; the magistrates felt that the money which they expended Was not their own, but was contributed by parties who were less able to contribute it than they themselves were. It was evident the Government had some comprehensive scheme in contemplation, and, although he would not then venture to pass any decidedly strong opinion upon it, still he must say that he concurred in the observations of Lord Denman, that the proposition for abolishing transportation was an " appalling" one. At present it would be most imprudent to lay out their money in altering our gaols, still he hoped the Noble Marquis would not relinquish the subject, but bring it forward, if necessary, upon some future and more convenient occasion. After a few remarks from Mr. PLOYER, lu.p., t h e on all former subject dropped, as occasions, without any definite result. AND LINCOLNSHIRE — RA A I I L A W N A C Y U .

After a probationary service as midshipman, the deceasedoflicer, in 1814, Wai appointed to a Lieutenancy, and in 1829 was advanced to the rank of Commander. He was a midshipman in the San Josef at the siege of Cadiz, and, in 1810, while holding similar rank, he served in the Andromache, on the occasion of the capture of the United States frigate the Presileat. his next services were on the occasion of the capture of Algiers. In 1824, when Lieutenant of the Thetis, he commanded the boats of that vessel in an action with the Ashantees. MR. GALE'S SECOND BALLOON ASCENT.—Mr. Gale made his second ascent on Monday, from the grounds of the Rosemary Branch, Peckham. The assemblage inside the grounds were fully 5,000, and outside another cypher would not cover the calculation. At a quarter past six the word " Go" was given by Mr. Gale, and he and his fellow-aerial travellers, Messrs. John Ellwood Geor .e Sharpe, were disengaged, with the machine that carried them, from the corda which held them and it from their upward flight. - A temporary excitement. of a most painful kind, was created by the appearance of the balloon (shortly after Mr. Gale had descended to the lower car, and disch trged his fireworks). by the machine to all appearance losing form, collapsing, and descending with fearful velocity. We are hapoy to say that this wa, quickly dispelled by a fast,rtdiag horseman, ift ,! „,I t , „ A .t, descent of the aerial voyage, s on Yenge-commoa, on the further side of Peckham-rye. 7 - tr lU l ' AM I APRIL Li, 1847.

REMARKABLE FIRE IN SHOREDITCH.—On Mor.drty )h4.)rtly betove six o'clock, an accident t,t' a v,l• 3 ' sirgular character, and which occasioned con , iderAble excitement in the to..k plac, in High street, Slim editch, nearly facing Ea,tern Colitties Railway terminus. It appears that a nett-icier of men were engaged in unloading a waggon tilled with pun cheons of turp-nttne. One of :he immense etvlis having been attached to a crane belonging to Mesas. Gt‘bey and ‘Vvlls, wholesale oilmen, an:i had been draA n up some distance, when, by some mishap the head of that puncheon came out, and the whole of its contents fell to the ground. A lad, who wa,s standing by, was in the act if lighting a cigar with a Inciter match, and the vapour of the turps coming in contact with the light, the whole of the 120 gallons of spirits became ignited, and the flames rose in one immense sheet upwards of twenty feet, setting on fire the shop front and side doors of the defunct Parcels Post depot. At the same time the sheet of flame was drawn under the archway at the side of Messrs. Gabey's oil stores, and for some time it was feared that those premises would have been de stroyed. A number of the inhabitants and several of the men employed on the premises rendered essential aid, and succeeded in getting the fire extinguished, but not until considerable damage was done to the premises numbered 223, and the whole of the turpentine de stroyed. Such was the alarm created in the district, that messengers were dispatched in all directions for the engines. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the brigade, and Mr. Fogg, the foreman of the A section. quickly attended with four engines, but, fortunately, their services were not required. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE EDGWARE-ROAD..-- Monday night, at ten o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in the New Small Debts Court, 112, Edgware-road. The first discovery was made by the police-constable on the beat, who immediately raised an alarm, and sent a messenger for the engines. The two parish engines quickly arrived, and there being an abundant supply of water at hand, no time was lost in setting them at work, but the flames were already issuing through the windows and roof with such fury as to threaten with destruction the whole of the surrounding property. The engines of the brigade, 8.z.c., followed, and were set to work from the most commanding positions, but, notwithstanding, the fire continued to burn upwards and downwards, so that it was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the fire men could obtain the mastery over the destructive ele ment. By that period the whole of the upper portion of the building was destroyed, and lower part nearly burnt out. The backs of some of the houses in Cha pel-street are damaged, but fortunately not to any great extent. The premises numbered 111, in the occupancy of Messrs. Howitt and Co., silk mercers, have also sus tained some damage; and those belonging to Mr. Hedges, harness maker, No. 109. The whole of the parties are insured in the Union, Phcenix, and County Fire-offices. The origin of the disaster could not be ascertained. It appears,_ h ow ever, that some workm en h a d b een em ployed during the day in getting the court ready for z openit ' - on Wednesday next, and it is supposed that they must have left the fires improperly extinguished. MISS BURDETT COUTTS'S NEW CHURCH.--The ar rangements for proceeding with the erection of Miss Burdett Coutts's new church, in Rochester-row, West minster, to which an ecclesiastical district has already been assigned, having now been completed, the founda tion stone will be laid in the course of a few days with the customary solemnities. It is expected that the cere mony will be performed by Miss Coutts i n person, assisted by the Bishop of London and the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. The site has been gratuitously made over by the Dean and Chapter.

SUPPRES lON OF TRAL)ING IN SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION. .A numerously attended .and, respectable meeting of gentletnen was held yesterday at the King's Arms Hotel, New Pidace_-yard, Illestrniest,r, to 'support Nlr. Spooner's Bill tor the sup . nression of the trade in seduction and prostitution ; which is to be read a second time this aly in the House of Commons ; -Captain Gladstone, M.P., was ca ll e d to the chair. Prayers having been offered up ..by the Rev. Mr. Craig, The CHM - It:WAN said he was sorry that it had not Wien upon his Honourable Friend Mr. 'Spooner to oc • cupy the position in which he had been placed. He was sure that they were all obliged to that gentlernan for the excellent manner in which he had introduced his mea sure to • the House. The-speech he then made did credit to both his head and his heart, and he hoped that no formidable opposition would be offered to that mea sure on its second reading. He had heard only of two objections having ever been made to legislative inter ference on this subject. The first, that it was extremely difficult to legislate on a subject so delicate as the one which they had met to consider. That objection ap plied to several other questions. Now it was very difficult to prevent bribery, but . that had not prevented the Legislature making enactments from year to year. The next objection was, that by legislating on this subject they were giving an injurious publicity to the question, but he thought that by making public the means that were used towards those who were the objects of seduction, it might be of great service, by producing greater vigilance on the part of those who had the encody of females. He would conclade by calling on Mr. Hansard to propose the first resolution. Mr. L. J. Hatstsann said he came there not to address the meeting, but to subscribe 100/. towards the object which they had in view, even if it were the last farthing be possessed. It was for them to consider whether the resolution which he would propose would or wculd not have their approval. It was to this effect—" That the meeting deplored the existence of a trade in seduction and prostitution to an immense extent." The Rev. M. LIISIGNAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The Bishop of NORvrICH, in proposing the next reso lution, said—lie came there: rather to show himself friendly to the principle, and to promote a measure snick had a tendency to correct one of the greatest evils that existed in their country, and which reflected on the very civilisation of their country. From what he learned himself, from unquestionable sources, the evil which the Bill proposed to remove was far worse than it was represented to be. Cases had came before gentlemen who had proofs clearly of the guilt of the parties, whose names he would not fur obvious reasons mention, but they had found such a difficulty in bringing them under the operation of the law, that they %yen , obliged to drop all proceedings, and the criminals escaped. Though he did n , t believe that en Act of Parliament would prevent what they all denim ed, it might effect much good. '['here were ramifieation this subj.-et which could nev-r be concev..d but by a person acquainted with all the details. 'lowan nature actually revolted from the conduct Of so ::e who called thein,elv .s gentlemen. lle would conclude by moving th e seeee e l re (kid tn. Mr. BAILLIE, M.P., ~econded the resolution, which gated that the meeting consid-red it the duty of Go v rnment to enact efficient laws to put a stop to the trail, in seduction and prostitution. The resolution was e9. , -rip,l unanimously. The Rev. CHARLES CLAYTON proposed, and the Rev. DANIEL CooRE seconded, a r. solution, approving of the principle of the Bill emanating trim the As , ociate In ,tqu'i.,n, and earnestly hoped that it might be passed into a law, which was c.irried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Meta proposed the following resolu tion : " That the cordial thanks of this meeting are hereby presented to Mr. Spooner for his efforts in this cause ; and that a petitioa in favour of his Bill be signed by the chairman, in the b,half of this meeting, and forwarded to Mr. Spooner for presentation to the House of Com mons to morrow." Mr. LASCELLES seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. SPOONER, M.P., said he was deeply affected by the display of approval that was shown to his measure. It was one that was extremely difficult to be brought forward, and which required moral courage on the part of its proposer. He had always bad a conviction that it only required tliat the subject of the Bill should be brought before the House and the public to insure its suc cess. He had also a deep sense of thetresponsibility that at- Liched to a person holding aseitt in the House of Commons, • rt 1 1 "1,0 1061;e 0 •1 , 0, , V.., -1 •- An 11•.

It was, owing to the good sense of the Ho use , ren d ered unnecessary for him to enter into details, for when he applied to them, and stated that he was preuared to do so, they were satisfied with his mere assertion that a great trade was carried or. in the bodies and souls of their countrywomen. The manner in which they had received his bumble efforts was such as would always be remembered by him with gra titude. He was quite convinced of the ultimate success of the measure ; and Sir George Grey had asserted that the subject to which it referred was one that was entitled to every consideration. After some further observations, the Hon. Gentleman concluded. A petition to Parliament, praying the adoption of the Bill, was then agreed to. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet • ing separated.

THE LATE FIRE AT G UIL DHALL. ---OH Saturday aninq uiry was instituted by Mr. B urn , t h e c h a i rman of the city lands committee ; Mr. Saunders, the city comptroller ; and Mr. B unn i ng, t h e city surveyor ; assisted by Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of th e London fire bri ga d e , as t o t h e origin of the fire at Guild hall. Mr. Wood, the superintendent of the Guildhall watch, Stewart, the chief officer, and several other wit nesses were examined, and from their evidence it ap peared that the fire was discovered by Wood and Stewart on going their rounds, and the latter, who had been in the fire brigate, speadily got the hall engines into play. The fire existed in the coal vault, under the lobby lead ing from the courts of law to the hall, and under library. From some cause the brigade engines did not arrive for nearly half an hour, when one on ly w as brought into use, as the watchmen and others, under t he direction of Stewart, had brought the hall engine to play upon the fire through a trap-door in the lobby, being unable to go down from the density of the smoke. It is a matter of doubt whether the fire originated from spontaneous combustion of the coals and fagg o t wood, or from the overheating of hot air pipes, but no person was known to have gone below after seven o'clock on the previous morning, and great precaution is taken to pre vent all persons from passing that way after the.. watch is set. Had it not been for the timely discovery, im mense loss would in all probability haN'e resu l ted, as the wooden flooring of the lobby fo rms - the ceiling of the vault, and the library, courts of law , and probably the comptroller's department wou b id , h ave _ fallen a sacrifice to the flames, and invaluable )9ks and docum ents been . destroyed.

After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN, in proposing her Mejest)'s Minis ters, said that if ever there was a time when it behoved that they should be endowed with all grace, wisdom, and understanding, it was now —now that they had fallen upon days of difficulty and distress, and when he was sure the sympathies of all classes were rallied round them in support of the measures they proposed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in returning thanks, said he was sure that, whatever might be the general opinion, support was accorded to her Majesti's Ministers, if only from a conviction that they were endeavourine , to do their best with uprightness of principle, and an inflexible intention to carry out the prosperity of the country.— (Cheers.) All, he thought, would concur with him in thinking that her Illuje , ty's.llftnisters were influenced by the best ef motives in the selection of their official officers; and in no case, he thought he might with truth fulness affirm, mere so than in their present appointment of Lord Torrington. In selecting that -Noble Lord, they had fixed upon one whcss natural aptitude for busi _ ness had been matured by his commercial end agri cultural connexion with the c ,, unty of Kent and the South• Eastern Railway, which were so well calcu lated to fit him for the distinguished post of Governor of Ceylon.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN rhpn, amid hud applause. proposed " Lord Torrington," and fxprossid his gratification at having been associlted a, a Liverpool merchant in the Smith- E rn Railway a nobleman of such talent, p. rseverance. and unques:ton d encr!y.— (Cheers-) Lord TORRINGT.N, amid loud acc l amations . returned thanks.

It wa, no desire for speculation that had in , inef-ii him to join the Smith- Eastern, but an earnest desire for the advantage of Kent, so as to introduce into it the system that would prove most advantageous, and he believed that the system that had been partly prvonnded by the Legislature would cause the county, as far as railways were concerned, to be the most vitally advantaged. The land of Kent y had already increased in value, carriage, nilauge duties, ebra smeli,ft anti ibg, brihesu t t tthh. splendido eei perseveranceTnmix os f caeie, consequent e e l hohn r i ceetm h enou a ttonre d pi fnu; tsoattet been hhnodee apwm g ra .bo r oi o s : uni t t a i i ltt t . dh. ): 1071bsat4lands,Inetri:anse, discharge h d unh thanked : b et 3 hian l id o o a t te h s : gr e ,:eu m d) pur pose,d wider the tutelage of the Noble Earl at the head of the Colonial Department. The CHAIPOIAN then propos?d the " House of Peers,. which having been briefly responded to by Viscount Torrington, SirNEn3tt:ND FILMER acknowledged the " House of Commons." Speaking of railways, he adduced a rather felicitous illustration of their progress. He had recently read in an old newspaper that in 1745 there was a fast coach that started from Bristol to London, and reached its d , stination in four days. In March, 1845, however, a medium train on the Great Western did ita in some thing umkr four hours ! So that one short century &one had converted days into hours, by a silent but r ' P ' w er' l ... l ..T.l.. - 6,74 - ' - pi - oli3 s en the Behan or the chair man, who had, he said, sacrificed so much of his time and talents to the advantage of the South-Eastern Com pany. 'lie CHAIRMAN, in reply, chserverl, he believed he might say that those who bud embarked in the South- Eastern were now about to.gathcr the golden apples of their enferprise. In projecting the South-Eastern Rail. way, they did not confine themselves to Dover, they did not stop at Boulogne, they did not pause at Paris, they saw something even beyond the Continent, for Calcutta was not too far, and even took Ceylon within their cir cuitaaT way .— feu r ( n L er.b o u et d tco c oa h us cheer:.) e i u r , s e. . u ) Tr.hoß They e were in fact the great high nch and the Bar," was re• sponded to appropriately by the ATTORNEY -GENERAL. Mr. Alderman LUCAS, in acknowledging " The Lord Mayor and Ald ermen of London, " said he- rose to make a public recantation. Originally he and a great many of his brethren in Kent had, through mistaken views, made a great error as regarded railways.—(Hear.) Had not the great landowners of Kent, through some lamentable short-sightedness, opposed the railways tooth and nail, they would years ago have had a dir ec t li ne to D over by the SoutleEasternßailway.—(Loud cheers.) Perhaps this strange conduct of the Kentish men was owing to their no: knoe ing so much in the south-castern as they did in the manufacturing districts—(Laughter) —or from a prepossession that if they wanted a railway they could do it for themselves. They were, perhaps, to be par doned in some respect, for at the time he alluded to most men's minds were not so clear as they were now on railway Subjects. It was necessary to accommo date them by degrees to the system They hits suff -red however, for this their treatment of the South-Eastern, Ind were now contritely eotifesiae their past errors. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "Prosperity to Ceylon." Sir GEORGE LARPENT said, votalt?eted as he and many eentlemen around him were with their colonial posses siens and Ceylon, he could not but hail the appointment )i lee Noble Lord as an augury for good.—(Chter-.) Ceylon was possessed of a tine climate, a noble soil, and e peaceable po, ulation, removed irem all the chances, ,tl only required to be further put in possession of those civic virtues and intelligence, which were the dis tingui,hing characteristics of the Noble Lord, to be pro uetive of the finest fruits that labour and industry could cause it to develop.—(Cheers.) He regretted, in , thjunction with many of his colleages, to say that up to the present time great errors had existed in the :fiscal and commercial relations of Ceylon. He bad panted them out to her Majesty's Government, and i t t o " It'shsuamd e that under the governorship of the Noble received every attention, and it was only fair Lord a better system would be introduced in the ar ticles of coffee and cocoa, and by the introduction of machinery.—(Cheers.) Moreover, there was a railway projected in Ceylon which would bring everything by rapid transit to the water's side, and as the Noble Lord had learned his lessons in railway practice and diplo macy in an English school, they could not but hope that it would eminently prosper under his auspices. Mr. GEORGE STEPEENSON, in returning thanks for his own health, and that of his son, Mr. George Stephenson, both of which were received with rounds of applause, adverted to the gratifying part he and his son had taken in carrying out the railway schemes of this country, and in none more so than in their connexion with the South-Eastern Railway. It was a proud thing fur them to reflect upon, that they had been mutually instrumental in connecting as by one chain all the na tions of the eartb, and in making more closely kindred gt 1 Q the whole human race.—(Cheers.)

TAYLOR.—The students of the faculty of medicine in University College are about 'o present to Dr. Taylor, their late esteemed Professor of Clinical Medicine, an address and testimonial, ex rressive of their high regard and estimation of his cha racter and talents. The address—a specimen of elegant penmanship, executed by Mr. Robertson, of Coventry street; and the testimonial—a handsome tea service and salver, manufactured by Messrs. Rowland and Sons, silversmiths, of Regent -street, will be exhibited to all friends interested in the matter, in the council-room of the College, during the early part of the week. Dr. Taylor was the first student of the College elevated to one of its professorships, but held office only a short times, his health breaking down under its onerous duties. R O IIIIIRIES.—Yesterday the police received infor mation of the following robberies:—Stolen from the house of Mrs. Somes, Grove-place, Brompton, a gold curb chain with locket attached, a bunch of roses on it, and the words " Forget me not;" a gold pin set with turquoise, and ss. in silver.
