The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

LONDON' SHOCKING EFFECT OF FRIGUT.—A few weeks ago, a young woman, seventeen years of age, living with Mr. John Sadler, farmer, South Kilvington, near Thirok, was terribly frightened, whilst going to milk, by a servant boy of the farm presenting himself before her enveloped in a white sheet. From the effects of this she recovered. A fortnight ago, a broom was set up, wrapped with straw, and covered with a sheet. This was too much lbr the poor girl to witness. The sight, at night, was so alarming, that the poor creature is now, and has been ever since, bereft of rea son. This dangerous practice has often resulted in the same way, and holds out a fearful warning against such an idle and insane practice.— Leeds Times. .

Batty, who, on Thursday next, by the aid of a committee, will hand over the proceeds of that night's entertainments for the benefit of the suffering Irish. Mr. John Cooke, leader of the orchestra, has selected every Irish air for the occasion, and the dancing under the direction of Alr.W. Harvey, who will introduce most of the popular steps of the sister -country. This is only urinary of the committee's exertions, who, while advocating the cause of the Irish, are not unmindful of the misery en dured by our Scotch and English brethren.

A new one-act ballet, entitled The Pretty Sicilian, was produced here last evening, for the purpose of introduc- Inc' Mademoiselle Marietta Baderna, a pupil of M. Blasis, to the British public. Mademoiselle Baderna has b:-en the premi?re danseuse at La Scala, for some time past, and has acquired extensive popularity both at Milan and at Genoa. She is very young, very pretty, her bright, sparkling, expressive eye., are beautiful — exceedingly, and very graceful. Her figure is slight, but exquisitely formed, and her style is perfectly artisti eal, being free from exaggeration and from affectation. Her poses are most graceful—quite classical in their elegance,—and her pantomime is expressive. Made moiselle Baderna has one great advantage over many of her competitors,—she thoroughly understands the art of moving the arm in a graceful and elegant manner; of rounding it, so to speak, and of avoiding the angularity which too frequently mars the effect of the most expres sive pantomime of others. Her pirouettes are exceed ingly neat, and it is evident that she thoroughly under stands the principles of her art. She is, as we observed before, very young, and will therefore improve from year to year for some time to come. She has a brilliant future before her. She was admirably supported by M. Croce, also an importation from La Scala. M. Croce is a very clever dancer, and was much and de servedly applauded. The pas de deux in the last scene between M. Croce and Mdlle. Badetna was perfect. The audience were rapturous in their applause. The success of Mdlle. Baderna was complete—as complete as that of her two fellow pupils, Flora Fabbri and Fuoco, had been. It is no small credit to M. Blasis to have had three such pupils under his instructions. The house was very well attended. Selesia beat Revoke, Brutus beat Foxblintt.r. Mentor beat Fair Maid> PRICE SD. COURT CIRCULAR.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--Early ye-sturtiay morning,. the Lying-in Hospital at Manchester,sitnated in St. Mary's parade, wai discovered to be on fire, and in two hours after wards all the rooms, with the exception of the board-room, were reduced to ashes. The servant-girl was awakened at five o'clock by a sense of suffocation, and saw at once that the house was likely to be destroyed by fire. She alarmed the houae-surg , 3on, • Mr. Runcorn, who slept in the upper etorv, and he started from bed, and tound that front the progregs of the flames egress by the street-door was impos sible:. He immediately tied together two of the sheets oh his bed, and lowered himself down to one of the short lad ders which had been placed under his window by Mr. Hurl. butt, plumber, and by this means escaped without injury. Mrs. Horncastle, the matron, with four other women in the house, behaved with remarkable presence of mind under the trying circumstances.. The smoke in her room was dense, almost beyond endurance, and throwing up the lower sash of her bedroom-window, she instructed her companions to bold their heads out in the open air to breathe. She then tied together the sheets of her bed, fastened one end to the lower part of the bottom sash, and thus urged her alarmed friends to descend in the way that the house•surgeon had done. in Seeing that death was inevit able if they remained h i h n ou: a e fe t t h y 7 th s e u m m a m t o ro n n ed be u ig pncetuhreaglaestfotrothmeatkase kt.haenedxdpeesrmenednetd, having waited to see all the other women reach the ground in safety.

ILAIi lattifill adailViad to William Grimatme Ilerboy, Iltibgato. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Bourcicault's new five act comedy, entitled The School for Scheming, was produced here last evening. The scene of the first act is laid in the lodging-house of Mrs. Singleheart (Mrs. Humby), and we are introduced to "my landlady and her lodgers." One of these lodgers is the Mac Dunnum of Dunnum (Mr. Buck stone), a "capitalist," that is to say a schemer, who, upon the strength of having 501. in the bank, starts all sorts of joint-stock companies, and allots shares to un known persons, which he sells at a premium, and gets up a testimonial to himself, to which, under various aliases, he subscribes most liberally; in short, a stag of the first head. The other lodger is the Hon. Claude Plantagenet (Mr. W. Farren), a young old man, fifty-nine according to the peerage, thirty nine according to his own representation. He has run through three fortunes, and is deeply in debt to X. Y., the advertising money-lender; but he speculates upon getting out of all his difficulties by marrying his daughter to Lord Fipley (capitally acted by Selby), a noble pigeon, but th e heir to a dukedom. This daughter, Helen (Miss Fortescue), has been educated at the establishment of Mrs. Fox French (Mrs. Glover), none of whose young ladies have married any man below the rank of an earl ; indeed, one of them was expelled for tolerating the attentions of an Irish viscount. Helen, spoiled though sho has been by her education, has a heart, and that heart she has bestowed upon Craven Acton (Mr. Howe), a ruined man, as her father tells her, for Craven, like himself, is deeply in debted to X.Y., the money-lender. We are then introduced to X. Y., not the real usurer, but a certain Job Sykes (Mr. Webster), who has borrowed the name of X. Y. for a purpose. Sykes was originally a stable-boy in the service of Plantagenet. By dint of industry be accumulated wealth, and married a lady of noble family. She, becoming ashamed of the mesalliance, separated from him, taking with her their only chili. This child took her name, and the father was never permitted to hold any communication with it. She died during this child's infancy, and the child was brought up by her family. This child is Craven Acton ; and, in order to watch over and guard him, the father has assumed the character of X. Y., the money lender. He is aware of the love of Craven for Helen, and, warned by his own fate, is determined, if possible, to prevent their marry ing. Old Plantaganet, too, is desirous of getting rid of Craven, and at la s t r e p roac h es hi m w i t h being the son of his stable-boy. Ile persuades Helen also to accept the suit of Lord Fipley, and he himself; understanding that Mrs. Fox French has a fortune of 10,0004 makes love to the lady. Acton's heart, however, yearns towards Helen, and she loves him still, although she has promised her hand to Lord Fipley. His Lord ship, however, has a certain cousin, Lady Rose (Miss Julia Bennett), to whom as a child he had been engaged, and who, notwithstanding his folly, of which she is per fectly aware, is devotedly attached to him. There is a ball at Mrs. Fox French's establishment, at which all are assembled, and at which Lady Rose manages tileei7o" ; lfeenEeThirV - 1021 r renctf becomes . Mrs. Claude Plantaganet. and Mr. Claude Plantagenet finds, to his cost, that he has married 10,0001. of debt instead of 10,000/. of fortune. He is arrested for 3,000/. In vain does Helen apply to all her friends for the loan of a sum to free her fa, her ; she is rejected even by the Mac Dun num of Dunnum, who has jilted Mrs. Singleheart, to whom he had promised marriage, and to whom he makes a present of 100 shares in one of his companies as an alleviation of the. disappointment. At length Craven borrows from Sykes the 3,0001. (pledging with him the portrait of his mother , set in jewels), and, giving it to Helen, releases her father a nd * quits her for ever, disgusted at her heartlessness. On examining the portrait, Sykes finds concealed a letter from his wife to their son, informing him of his parent age, begging him to seek out his father, and to tell him how bitterly, on her deathbed, she had . repented of her treatment \ of him. The father and son recognise each other, and atereconciled—with this ends the fourth act. In the fifth act we find all the characters assem bled at Boulogne, Plantagenet and his wife and daughter living on an annuity of 1801., a year. Helen, broken hearted for the love of Craven. Lord Fipley, (now the Duke of Bungay,) a perfect specimen of a tame man. The Mac Dunnum, n ow pl a i n John Perkins, an exiled provisional committee-man. Sykes, an M. P., with the offer of a P eerage , travel ling with his son, in search of health and consolation and Mrs. Singleheart, a woman of fortune (the shares which the Mao Dunnum had given her turn up trumps), travelling in search of amusement. They meet, the re spective lovers are united, and the piece ends with a lengthy, moral tag spoken by Mi ss F ortescue. The i b es t character n the comedy is that of The M a c Dunnum o f Dunnum , and he is quite a hors d'oeuvre, for he has nothing whatever to do with the plot of the piece. He has some claims to originality, and the dialogue put into his mouth is smart, and at times witty. In fact, had it not been for the introduction of this character the piece would not h ave surv i ve d at a ll , f or, in the fourth act, where there is a vast deal of letter reading and "talkee-talkee":to no purpose, the audience were very impatient. Thi s i m p a ti ence was au dibly ma nifested at the commencement of the fifth act, and it was only the appearance of Mac Dunnum that put them into good humour. The first three acts are well written and tolerably well constructed, but the last two drag. In the fourth act there is a fault of construction, which we were surprised to discover in any work pro ceeding from the pen of such a practiset.writer as Mr. Bourcicault. Sykes, in a long and te dious speech, relates matters with which the audience were previously acquainted by his soliloquy in the first act, and by the actio n o f th e pi ece , t h us delay ing the point which every body knew must come, viz., the mutual recognition of the father and the son, until expectation had dullet; the edge of appetite, and the point missed fire. Nothing but the consummate tact of Webster saved the piece at this juncture. The whole of this scene must be cut down, and the pruning knife must also be unsparingly applied to the fifth act, and then the comedy will "gor The actors were all called for at the conclusion, but when Webster appeared to announce the comedy for repetition, there were some disapprobation manifested. It was, however, clear that the " Ayes" had it, and Webster's short ad dress," I feel justified," in announcing this piece for repe tition every evening until further notice," was received with loud applause, which completely drowned . the voices of the dissentients. Mr. Bourcicault was atter • wards called tor, and, on his appearance, loudly wel comed. The house was crowded to suffocation. Every seat was occupied before the rising of the curtain.

(From the Mark•lane F:xpress.) No time has been lost in getting the Corn and Navigation Law Suspension Bills through . Parliament, these measures having received the Royal Assent on Tuesday lest. Whether the importations of grain will be materially increased by the remission of the almost nominal rates of duties previously levied on arrivals of foreign corn may be questioned; at all events no immediate increase in the supplies can be caused thereby. Before it was known that Government intended to take the steps they have, orders had been sent abroad to buy up all that could be procured; and these purchases would, under any circumstances, have come fomard. The whole of the available 'stock at Baltic ports is a mere baga telle in comparison with what will lie wanted to supply the immense deficiency of food in Ireland. The same may be said as regards the Mediterranean ; and though rather a large quantity of wheat is held . at Odessa and the Danube, we shall have to outbid France and other countries, who are looking to that quarter as well AB ourselves for supplies, to secure any large quantity there. Our principal resource must, therefore, still be America; and we can only repeat what we have on former occasions stated, viz., that we en tertain considerable misgivings as to her capabilities to fur nish adequate supplies in a season when the yield of grain We are, co nsequently, has been more or less deficient over a large portion of Europe. inclined to view the reaction which has taken place in the trade in grain during the week now about to terminate as likely to prove temporary, unless our own farmers hold much heavier stocks than we have reason to suppose. The anxiety to realize which holders of Wheat m a n e d t n b a a y e n r c s ea s a n e d d acaruattihoenr oinmpthoertapnatrtfalolf has s er b c e h en an and Barley have all a t once exhibited, has, as usual, been ts, the m res ill u e r 4 t. That some giving way should have occurred at Liverpool is not surprising, as the arrivals at that port from America have been very abundant for some days dast; if, however, the wants of Ireland are nearly as great as estimated by the President of the Board of Trade, the Liverpool warehouses will not long retain what has just been stored. We have recently received a communication from a source we believe worthy of credit relative to the state of affairs in the interior of Ireland, which fully bears out the gloomy picture drawn by the different • speakers in. the House of Commons, when touching on the subject of, Irish distress. From this state. ment it appears that the demand for meal. of every descrip tion is so great, that the power of manufacturing it has proved altogether inadequate ; that the poor people con stantly surround the different mills, and take away Wheat, Indian Corn, and Oatmeal, in small quantities of a fevi stones at the time, as fast as it can be made ; and oar correspon dent accounts for the accumulation of stocks at Dublin, . merick, and other seaport towns, under such circumstances, by the difficulty existing in procuring the means of convey ance, the boats, &c., usually employed in carrying goods into the interior having proved wholly unequal to the pur pose. All this appears, however, for the present, to have been lost sight of ; and, as already remarked, a decided change has during the week taken place in the tone of the trade. At most of the leading provincial markets a rather important decline has occurred. THE FORLIGN CORN TRADE. We have received two arrivals from America, the latest being the packet ship Patrick Henry, bringing New York advices of the Bth January, and accounts of corresponding dates from other parts of the United States. The news which had, up to that date, reached there from Europe, had not been regarded as particularly encouraging ; and, so far from any further rise having occurred, the tendency of prices had been rather downwards. Good brands of Genessee had been sold at sd. sc. to sd. 56.:., and other • western kinds at sd. 44c. to sd. 50c. per brl. A good many vessels had arrived out, and the demand for ship-room hav ing at the same time rather fallen off, freights had slightly re ceded; 4s. 54. per brl. for Flour, and is. 6d. per bushel for Wheat, having been taken for Liverpool. From the Ist to the 31st December the exports of Flour had amounted to 232,894 brls., and in the first week of January close upon 20,000 brls had been shipped. Indian Corn Meal had been in lively request, and large sales of Pennsylvania and Jersey had been made at 3d. 87' c. per brl. Wheat bad not excited much attention, and good Genessee had been sold at 115 c. per pusbel. In December 276,757 bushels of Wheat,245,791 bushels of Indian Corn, 59,954 bushels of Rye, 21,758 bushels of Oats, and 81,661 bushels of Barley had been exported. At New Orleans, on the 30th of December, Flour was ob tainable at 4d. 50c. per brl., and Indian Corn at from 62 1 4 c. up to 70c. per bushel, according to quality. The advices received this week from the principal Medi terranean ports describe the grain trade as having become very excited. In the Papal States the export of corn had been forbidden, and prices had risen c ons id era bl y i n a ll t h e principal markets. A litter from Marseilles, of the 23d inst., informs us that Polish Odessa Wheat had commanded equal to 61s. to 635. per qr. free on board at that port. Marianopoli 595., and Romelia 545. Our correspondent states that the anxiety to secure wheat had become so great as to render the price a matter of almost secondary consideration ; parcels not ex pected to arrive for five or six months had been taken with as much avidity as cargoes nearly at hand, ai.d that the ex citement was increasing day by day. - From Trieste we have letters of the 21st January; Odessa Wheat was then quoted 535. 6d. per qr. free on board, but the freight from thence to a British port was Ics. per qr., with 10 per cent. From Leghorn we learn that about 80 to 85 cargoes of Wheat had arrived there, chiefly bound to Marseilles. The demand for the article had been as active there as at neigh bouring places, and prices had advanced materially. Freight to England was 9s. to 10s. per quarter. The Hamburgh mail of Friday had not come to hand up to alate hour this evening; our accounts from the Baltic are, therefore, not of such recent dates as usual. According to the latest accounts fnom Dantaic, the highest price of Wheat was 635. to 655. per quarter, but it seems more than probable that a further rise has occurred since then. At Rostock and Stettin holders had raised their preten auu Ler ❑ue uplanu r * ed l n ii e e re a gu h a a r v e t e o rb a 6s la y s: t t r a p y e er i o i p . dated the 28th instant. It appears that a large number of o .h.r r at ta ed n ubu t en c en o a m ewp m aiu n du n P ication from Antwerp, French buyers had attended that market, and had taken off all the Wheat and Rye they had been enabled to procure. This had caused an important rise in prices, and the former article was, at the date named, worth equal to 70s. to 78s. and the latter 525. to 555. per qr., with every appearance of a still further advance. Since writing the above the Hamburg mail of the 26th has come to hand, further purchases of Wheat had been made there on French account, and the tendency of prices had continued upwards.
