THE DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES OF TUB EAR.-- The 31st anniversary festival in commemoration of the estab lishment of the Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, in Dean street, Soho, was celebrated on Blnodayat the l'hatilied-house Tavern, St. Jame4-street. The chair was taken at half past P ik' o'clock by lord Ashley, supported by the Lord Mayor, Dr. Tattersall; the Rev. R. Montgomery, and About 40 other clergymen and gentlemen. The vocal arrangements were under the direction of Mr. G. Taylor, assisted by Messrs. Kenny, Binge, and Frost. The healths of her Majesty and the Royal Family having been drank with the honours, and followed by appropriate songs and glees, the toast " The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Established Church" was given, to which compliment the Rev. Mr. Montgomery replied in a speech of considerable eloquence, setting forth the claims of the dispensary for support, and the readiness of the clergy to afford their aid towards it. - The Noble Lord who presided then proposed the toast, " Success to the Dispensary," which was received with great applause. His Lordship took the opportunity of advocating in strong terms the claims of the institution on the public, both as affording relief to the industrious poor and alleviating most distressing calamity, and also as offering to persons in the middle ranks of life opportunities for the ekilful treatment of diseases which, if such an institution did not exist, it would be out of their power to procure, unless at considerable cost. His Lordship regretted the financial affairs of the dispensary were not so flourishing as they deserved to be, but he trusted that so excellent an institution would not be suffered to fall into decay by any want of contributions and support from the public, and from the gentlemen he saw around him ; it would be a calamity and a disgrace if means were not afforded to it to carry its objects into tall development. His Lordship baying concluded, the toast was drank with great ,enthu siasnt ; and in the course of the evening the secretary an nounced subscripti.ais to the amount of upwards of 1001. The health of the chairman was then proposed by Mr. T. Hawkins, and drank with the honours; and his Lordship having returned thanks, proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, who acknowledged the compliment in a meat speech. Dr. Tattersall and Mr. W. Harvey returned thanks for the healths of the medical officers, after which some other appro priate toasts were drank, and the company broke up. sculpture, this port intended for n t deposithe veiTreasury,msspe nrGttirnhege.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Worsham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from i lodestone \iorket 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 which period his hair con timed to come off, till he became, to use his own tenets, " as perfectly bald as if 'his head had been shaved ;" and the 11ev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSA 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 hoest 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. v..

A song to the suit—the prime new suit— Which I'm sure will last me long; Here's fame to the Mart which has acted its part In selling a suit so strong. There's style in its make which few partake, And beauty surpas.'d by none ; And it plainly shows that the mart for clothes Is the Mart of E. MOSES and SON. Then here's to the suit—the prime new suit— Which stands in its make alone : May it spread the fame of MOSES' name, Already so widely known. In the days of old no dress was sold Like the suit whose praise I sing ; High price was paid in the tailoring trade For a far inferior thing. E. MOSES and SON have nobly done In selling a suit like this — Which has proved to be " just the ticket" for me, Having nothing at all amiss. Then here's to the suit—the prime new suit— Which stands in its make alone; May it spread the fame of MOSES' name, Already so widely known.

The tree of Life's soft cushat's nest ! Word that falls on mortal grief As night dew on the parching leaf ; They who fain would have thee near, Let Wisdom whisper in their ear. Grasp not with a greedy hand At useful gold or fertile land ; Seek "enough," but mind thy touch Shuns the cancer of "too much." Fortune's fruit is blissful fare, While we ask a modest share ; But when we have gathered in All we can, with selfish sin, We shall find some oozing gall From " Discord's apple" tainting all. Sp. ead what serveth for cur food, And the ripe store keepeth good ; But lusci us pulp and bloomy scent, Unduly piled, will soon ferment. Few liesperian boughs are caught Whose fruit is flavoured as we thought, And wise Content must rule the breast Where Earth's riches bring us " Rest." Love not as the thoughtless love! Affection is the emblem dove, Whose sacred wings are ever spread In glory o'er the Maker's head. Passion burnzs—sbut such wild light Marks not Truth's sure beacon height, Pride may vow and offer up The soul-pledge inapeisoned cup : The lips may learn to lie with grace, And shrinking heart shovr eager - face ; But Love, God's love, that low:les:and cheers Through dazzling joys and plindin g tears, The Love that will not **Oaf For gaudy rank or shininglielf— This, this Love, only is the guest In angel form that bringeth "Rest." Ye who murmur and repine While ye dwell mid "rose and wine;" Ye who cast a languid eye On a "velvet canopy '-" Ye who find a downy heap Bring no sound, unbroken sleep-- s ; Leave the chariot and chair, Cushioned seats and perfumed air ! Up ! go forth into the day, Climb the rugged mountain way ; Task your sinew—brace your limb, Dig or dance, or leap or swim, Let the sickle or the plough Rise the sweat-drop on your brow, For venomed Luxury soon breaks The calm of sloth with spawning snakes: Labour only is the blest And blessing price that buyeth "Rest." Dwell - not as the many do On Life's hemlock, thorns, and rue ; Pain and trouble may arise, As shade comes over summer skies. Happiness is not the lot Of this chequered trial spot ! Duty tormeth here our task, Else why would the Spirit ask A "Future " in its hopeful prayer, And dream of realms for ever fair? Take the poppy with the wheat, If bees hare stings their hive is sweet And bells that give the churchyard knell, Ring the wedding peal as well. Weigh the things that make us glad Against our moments lone and sad, Nurse not all the ugly forms Conjured up from dust and worms;" The broadest stars of light may set, But the darkness must be met; And if anguish vex thy soul, Stem the rough waves as they roll! Hope and courage shed repose Even while the tempest blows; And bosoms that e'er make the best Of human ills, find most of " Rest." Turn not with a doubting face From the kindly of thy race! We may meet the false and foul— Reptiles lurk, and wolves will prowl! Many a heart we may have seen Prove bitter, faithless, cold and mean; But God sendeth nobler things, And Nature's harp has finer strings. There are beings frank and just, Worthy of all huthan trust; There are souls that bear below The rarest blossoms that can grow In a soil where they recoil From warfare that must crush and spoil. There are beautiful, high hearts, Free and staunch as barb that starts, And, like that barb, will die and drop In Friendship's race before they stop. Be ye sure the world holds those Who claim our homage—even as foes ; But when we find such twining round Our spirits—fondly, closely bound, Then Friendship is no " hollow jest," But sheddeth balmy, hallowed " Rest." Rest, sweet Rest, mellifluous Rest, The tree or Lite's soft cushat's nest! Word whose dearest tones belong To the mother's cradle sizing; Word whose echoes ever float 'Mid strife winds the Eolian note; Word that cannot be erased Where by Honesty 'tis traced On a Conscience firmly pure— The only tablet to endure. Thou'rt the word of promise still, Be " worn and wearied" as we will; The word that's printed in the heaven When no chariot cloud is driven; Written on the stirless deeP, When the sea flower falls to sleep, And spelt with daisies on the sod, When we lie down with Peace and God.

GALE'S BALLOON ASCENT.—This intrepid gentleman, whose aerostatic exhibitions have novelty to re commend them, and \ apparent though not real danger to excite the most apathetic, made an ascent on Monday from the Rosherville-gardens at Gravesend, accompanied by two other aeronauts, in the presence of a vast number of spec tators collected within the grounds. Previously to the ascent, the ceremony of naming theballoon, somewhat in the manner of naming a ship at the time of launching her, took place amidst the cheers of the multitude. When at a very great elevation the lower car was let down from the upper one, to the distance of thirty feet, and Mr. Gale descended from the one to the other, and ascended again to his original place, having discharged a battery of shells from the lower car. The gardens, which are no w in admirable or der , were, not• with s tanding the unfavourable s t a te of the weather in the visited by some thousands of p ersons , the early of in cyder to afford a perfect view of the n o v elt y of it s construction.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES, HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.) Room B. Their Lordships met this day at eleren o'clock, and proceeded with THE CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW, GARN KIRK, AND COATBRIDGE, BRANCHES TO GLAS- GOW AND STATIONS). Mr. M‘Guffie, railway contractor, and Mr. Alexander Black, surveyor, Falkirk, were called to speak to certain borings on the railway, for the purpose or showing that the strata was of such a soft and friable character, that a danger would be incurred it the company wt-re allowtd to execute their works on the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway's tunnel. Mr. Adie. C.E., gave evidence to show that great danger would arise from the construction of the works. The clay they would have to deal with was of a very sort and friable character, and it would, on the admis sion of water, be apt to come off in large flakes. This would be apt to occasion the sides of the tunnel to col lapse and tall. Mr. John Milier, C.E., corroborated the preceding witness's evidence. Mr. ANDREWS replied for the opposition. The ComMittee decided that the preamble was proved, and then adjourned. Room C. RZRNE BAY AND CANTERBURY JUNC TION. The Committee appointed to examine into the merits of this line met this day, at eleven o'clock. The Duke of Buccleuch presided. Mr. HOPE examined several witnesses to prove that very little traffic existed between Canterbury and Herne Bay. Robert Johnson, a van proprietor and driver, was examined, who stated that during the winter weather he obtained no profit from his occupation, and that it *as only by the business which he did in the summer thonths that he was enabled to make a living. The principal part of the visitors to Herne Bay came by water, It was formerly very much visited, but since the opening of the South-Eastern Railway it had declined. The Rcv. G. Dawson, vicar of Whitstable, was next examined, who proved that there was a gradient upon the Whitstable line which required three or four runs of the train backwards and forwards to enable it to overcome it. This gradient was not the only one which required such an effort of the engine. Herne Bay had fallen into disuse as a watering place, and the steam-boat service was not carried on well from want of traffic, and he considered that the popula tien of Herne Bay had greatly decreased, partly from the facilities of communication to other places, such as Ramsgate and Margate, and partly from the imposition of the innkeepers. After a eery lengthened argument, the Committee de cided that the Bill had passed. Room D. SWANSEA VALLEY. Their Lordships met this morning at eleven o'clock ; present, Duke of Northumberland (chairman), Marquis of Winchester, Earl Rosse, Lord Wrottesley, and Lord Kinnaird. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAYE opened the case of the pro moters. The line was intended to accommodate a rich mineral and agricultural district, by giving it an opening with the port of Swansea and the existing South Wales Railway. The length of the line was 17 miles, extend ing from Abercrafe, in the county of Brecon, to the sea. Evidence was afterwards called for the promoters. The room was afterwards cleared, and on parties being admitted, The CHAIRMAN announced that the preamble of the Bill was proved. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) GROUP VI. EZETER GREAT WESTERN. The Committee were occupied in hearing rebutting evidence on the part of the South-Western Company concerning an alleged breach of agreement on the part of that company with respect to the division of the western districts of the country between the two compa nies. Mr. AUSTIN addressed the Committee upon this re butting evidence. At the close of his address the Committee adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP VIII.

The Thetis Club, though less fortunate, have rowed " well in front " at both Put ney and Erith. The course was from Chiswick Eyot to Putney-bridge, with the tide. Amongst the cutters ac companying the match, we observed Lord Kilmorey's four, the Leander, Thetis, and St. tieorge's eights, the Engineers four, cum mull& aliis.

Their Lordships remained in deliberation until nearly six o'clock, after which it was announced that the decision was for holding the assizes at the usual time. sotrrn DEVON avEZIVT AND EN. TENSIONS. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE opened the case for the pro moters of this Bill, which was to authorise the South Devon Railway Company to make a branch from Tor quay to Brixham of eight miles in length, and to ex tend the main line from a point near to a place called Crabtree to Tavistock, so as to form a direct railway communication between Plymouth and Tavistock. Several witnesses were examined in support of the Bill, and the Committee adjourned. GROUP X. This Committee met at the usual hour this morning, Lord Clive in the chair. EASTERN COUNTIES (ILFORD TO 'TXI.- BURT PORT AND SOUTHEND). The Committee were engaged the whole of the day in hearing general evidence in favour of this Bill. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP XXIV. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD (HOLYHEAD EXTENSION). The Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. ALEXANDER was heard in reply on the whole merits of the case. The room was then ordered to be cleared, and the Committee decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved, subject to certain amendments introduced by the Committee. GROUP XXX. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock; Mr. Currie in the chair. GREAT NORTHERN (ISLE Or AXHOLME EXTENSION). Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM suggested that the counsel on the other side ought to be called upon at this stage to say whether they had got the assent of the Admiralty for their crossing the river Dun with the competing line. Mr. JAMEG saidit was premature. Negotiations were then going on with the Admiralty, and their consent would be produced in the course of the evidence for the competing Bill. The CHAIRMAN decided that the promoters should continue their evidence in favour of the Bill. Mr. J. Blackburn, farmer ot about 700 acre s o f l an d i n the neighbourhood of Stainfirth, said there were 900 inhabitants in the township on about 2,000 acres of good alluvial soil, productive ot grain, &c. Their market was Doncaster, which was reached by the Dun, and was attended by factors from Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, and other places. These factors sold the grain by weight, 60Ibs. to a bushel, and bought it by the im perial measure, whatever it might weigh; and as the corn there weighed considerably more than 601b5., that went to the middleman as his profit. The farmers or the public were thus losers by the difficulty of getting to the markets of Wakefield and other places. A direct line was required in the district, as produce was brought at present at an expense of 3s. per ton, but the railway would effect a saving 1 f 2s. a ton on 1,200,000 tons a year. Very much injury was sustained by driving their fat cattle to market. A saving liken ise would be effected by the railway on the carriage of coals which were brought from the Barnsley and Silkstone fields. Altogether, upon the matter of carriages, there would be a saving of 14 per cent. on the rental, besides what might be saved in travelling. Similar evidence in detail' was called in reference to the other townships in the district of the line. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP XXXIX. THIRSZ AND LEEDS EZTENSION. The Committee assembltd this morning at twelve o'clock—Lord Charles Wellesley in the chair—when they proceeded with the consideration of the short Ex tension Branch of the Thirsk and Leeds line, which is about two miles in length, and is intended to unite Durham with the Bishop Auckland Branch, for which a Bill was obtained last session. Mr. Brown described the engineering qualities of the line, the principal feature of which is a double bridge across the river, over which there are to be two road• ways, one above the other—the upper one for railway purposes, and the lower one for the ordinary traffic of the district. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YEST Liati JAY.) The following Bills were decided to have complied with the standing orders : Liverpool Gas. Eastern Counties Railway(Maldon, Witham, and Brain tree Railway Purchase.) Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway Deviations. East Lothia❑ Central Railway. Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway. Peterborough and Thorney Line. Chard Canal and Railway Extension. The following Bills were postponed till Thursday next: Scottish Midland Junction Railway (Amendment and Branch to Laurenceltirk.) East Lincolnshire Railway. LAURENCERIRK. -- ABERDEEN RAILWAY. - The railway operations in this immediate neighbourhood are now advancing rapidly towards their completion. We understand, that both Mr. Munro and Mr. Brebner expect to li,ve their contracts finished, that is, altogether ready for the permanent rails, by October next. The number of men at present employed on Mr. Monro's contract is nearly 300, and on Mr. Brebner's above 100. Both these are only sub-contracts from t he com p an y , but the y , however, are very beavy cuts. FRIGHTFUL MURDERS. in addition to a long list of agrarian outrages, the Limerick Chronicle of yesterday contains the following: " On Tuesday night a most barbarous and fatal out rage was perpetrated near HsatLfield, in this county. Between seven and eight o'clock a party of armed men surrounded the house of a farmer named John Bennis, steward to property in that quarter belonging to Mr. Scanlan. The unfortunate victim of their vengeance was at the time surrounded by his wife and children, but, reckless of this affectionate family circle, they assailed him without hesitation, felled him to the ground, and while prostrate one of the miscreants levelled a gun close to his head, and shot him dead. Bennis's son and daughter endeavoured to save their persecuted father from his assailants, but received no mercy at the hands of the bloodthirsty ruffians, who dragged the unoffending woman outside the door, dashed her to the ground, and, with a refinement of barbarity, violently stretching out her arms, rolled a heavy laden car across them, breaking both wrists! Not content with this savage outrage, the demons again entered the house, where Bennis's wife was lamenting over the dead body of her murdered hus band. They struck her with guns on the head, inflicting serious wounds, and left the son almost a lifeless corpse by his father's side. From the fatal injuries sustained the youth has since died, and the only cause assigned for such diabolical atrocity is, that Bennis had served latitats for non-payment of rent a few days before." COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. THE CONSERVANCY OP THE RIVER THAMES. On Munday a Court was held for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of the Bill in Parliament relative to the conservancy of the Thames. A short discussion took place upon the motion for the admission - of strangers, an would inevitably it l u uss e t v a i t t e a d bl b y y e s a o u m se e m m i e sr m e: mem bers that " closed doors" w presentation. The opinion of the Court, however, was, that whatever disposition there might be upon the part of some persons to misrepresent the body, the question was one which ought not to be publicly discussed, inas much as the communications between the Government and the Committee of the Court were prirate. The Court was occupied for several hours in delibera tion; but the result was not publicly stated. POLISH BENEVOLENT SOCIETY, The Poles inhabiting London, sensible of their very painful position, which increases more and more, both materially and morally, and desirous of affording to each other a mutual succour, having put aside their poli tical differences, have formed amongst themselves a benevolent society. The Polish Benevolent Society takes care of the chil dren, of the orphans, widows, aged, lame, and infirm of their brethren; and it has principally in view the educa tion of the childrea, in order that with a knowledge of the English language they may also acquire a knowledge of their paternal tongue, know the nation and its disasters, as also to prepare them for some trade, that they may be enabled to support themselves and their aged parents honestly. This society has elected a commission composed of Ave members— The Rev. Dr. Zienkiewicz, the Rev. Dr. Vwainski, M.A.. the Citizens Pruszeynski, Ambro ziewics, and Ruzyuski. It has authorised, by a man date, the persons aforesaid to act in their name, and to appeal to all those who may feel disposed to aid them in the realisation of this object. The commission, in executing the orders of the so ciety, has seen at first the necessity of making an exact statistic of the Polish refugees residing in England, of their marriages, children, orphans, widows, and aged. After having brought this labour to a close, the com mission has found that there are in England about 500 Polish refugees, 160 married, 317 children, in London alone 209 children, forty of whom up to the age of ten years are not baptised, and those are the children of gentlemen and enemies of the faith of their fathers. There are besides 13 orphans, 20 aged, and many widows and infirm persons. This Polish Benevolent Society is honoured by the names and patronage of eminent individuals, and who possess influence. The commission is employed in executing the will of the Benevolent Polish Society; it collects funds for the school, and for the wants of the orphans, widows, aged, and sick. We are of opinion that it will ere long publish its ulterior proceedings, and that it will persevere in its noble efforts. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

Boz's LAST WORK.—It must be a matter of sur prise to the public generally to perceive how varied a re th e opinions expressed by the leading newspapers, with respect to Mr. Dickens's last publication. It may well be imagined that some adverse criticisms upon the works of this and other celebrated authors may proceed from personal feelings or educational prejudices. These, however, could account for but a few. The majority, as we have the best medical au thority for stating, may be ascribed to irritability of temper., generally arising from a deranged state of the liver and other viscera, and which could easily be remedied by the occasional *e of Frampton's Pill of Health, which is gentle in its operation, and unfailing in its effect.

Her frank and joyous manner, the pure simplicity, the feeling she exhibits in the contest between her wilful, ungovernable spirit and her fervent love, were rendered most effectively and naturally. That it is her favourite performance may be judged from the fact that she chose it for her re-appearance on the stage, which it was supposed she had abandoned for over. The plot is so familiar to every playgoer that it would be a work of supererogation, to mention anything respeCting it. Suffice it to say that she was never on any-former oc .anion more perfectly at home, or received with amore cordial welcome. Many of her points elicited the most raptut ens applause, a tribute that was repeatedly ac cot•ded to her during the performance. It is needless to sa, that the other parts were well and effectively filled. It i 5 due to the management to say that nothing of a mediocre description is ever permitted in this establish tucni.

Botiffe's first part was the well known one of Michel Perriu. In this his delineations were more filLhei and exqui,ite than ever, but perhaps too much of the artist at peered, and the actor had lost somewhat of his simplicity. To be sure that part is a difficult one for an actor who pre tends to nature—a man employed at a s,lary as an agent of the French police, without knowing it, is a character somewhat extraordinary. But in his by-play, and in the natural outburst of feeling where the piece permitted it, M. Botta exhibited all that power which so many critics have pronounced inimitable. The vaudeville is admirably adapted to display Bouffe's powers, and he invests the role of the ancien curd witk the utmost vitality. As the plot thickens, and the honest old starving religieux, in order to promote the marriage of his beloved niece, unconsciously accepts the situation of an espion in the secret police, the actor became quite impassioned. The blunders committed by him here, and eventually the service rendered by him to France, were all pourtrayed by M. Bouffe with the utmost naive* ; he, however, appeared to the best advantage in the latter portions of the piece ; when he discovers the base situation he has filled, his honourable feelings revolt at the idea, and the old man is overwhelmed with grief, which is, however, partly assuaged, by his being ap pointed to his old curacy in Normandy. Bouffls recep tion was that of an old and established favourite, and of a first-rate actor, which he gratefully acknowledged. The other characters in the vaudeville were well sus tained in a very effective manner, by M. Dumery (Desaumais), M. Rhozevil (Bernard), Madlle. Vallite (Tivirese), &c. At the conclusion M. Bouffe was loudly called before the curtain, and again received the applause of the audience. The programme concluded with the vaudeville of Les vieu.r Peches, the character of M. Girard being allotted to M. Bouffe. The theatre was well and fashionably attended. Amongst the company we observed the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Countess of Lich field, Earl Granville, Lady Charlotte Dennison, Earl and Countess Crave n , Lord Portstrlington, Colonel and the Hon. Mrs. Fitzgibbon. Lady and Miss Macdonald, Mr. Errington, Lady Meux, Sir Fitzroy and Lady Kelly, the Marquis and De Marquise de Lousada, Sir Joseph Copley, &c. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The once most favourite tragedy, Pizarro, has long lain among the almost totally neglected portions of our dramatic literature ; but Mr. Batty, of " Astley's," has brought it once again into public notice by making it the foundation of "a splendid Peruvian spectacle," in which the object, it is stated, has been "to realise the beauties of the author " by the varied resources of this well-managed establishment. The idea was excellent, as the incidents introduce admirable opportunities for processions, combats, grand pageants, and all the efft.c tive displays that are sure to gratify the spectators at this theatre, and are equally sure to be excellently and efficiently arranged. So fur as the different require ments of the plot would allow on the present occasion, the original English text of Sheridan was followed ; and in the more striking passages (especially the well known address of Rolla), Mr. William West (who has been expressly engaged for this drama) was spirited and energetic. The spec tacle has been produced in the most liberal and lavish style. The scenery is very good; and the cos tumes, properties, and appointments equally deserving of eulogy. The result was complete success: and we trust that a portion at least of the immense popularity that attended the original tragedy will be awarded to this spectacle, so cleverly founded thereon. Several novelties also were introduced iu the " Olympic Circus," commencing with the surprising performances of "Ls petite Davison," who is described as " the youngest equestrian in the world;" but who, however, in the novel and extraordinary teats on a single horse, showed that, young as she may be, she has lived long enough to be as much at her ease on the back of a horse at full gallop as other people are on terra firma. The per formances concluded with a capital magical spectacle, entitled The Charmed Horse; or, the Black Valley, in which the amusing plot and the scenic and magical in cidents most intet estingly and effectively closed an even ing's entertainments, long enough, varied enough, and good enough, to satisfy even those who are usually the hardest to please. CALEDONIAN BALL.—We have authority to state that the Grand Duke Constantine has si gn ifi e d his intention of honouring this assembly with his presence the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and Prince Lowenstein, ac companied by their suite, will also be present. ASIIBURTON.—On Saturday and Sunday, in this part of Devon, we had fine showers of rain fall, and on Mon day it cleared off, with a bright sunny sky. The wh ea t and barley fields present a most exhilarating appearance. The potato crops around this town and neighbourhood never looked more promising, and the swarthy appearance of the stalks indicate not the smallest sign of disease. A much larger breadth of land has been sown with potatoes during the last spring than in the two former years, and great at tention is being paid to the potatoes. We trust the crops will repay those persons who use their utmost energies in endeavouring to procure this useful vegetable, as in former years, before the disease presented itself. EXCHEQUER-DILLS.---On Monday notice was issued at the Exchequer-bill Office, Whitehall, that Exchequer bills bearing an interest of 3d. per centum per diem would be issued this day, the 15th inst., in whole or part payment of the principal and interest of the bills issued under the 9th Vic., c. 15, per 18,380,2001., dated June, 1846, and that the Exchequer-bills now outstanding, issued under the Bth Vic., c. 23, per 9,379,001., in 1845, and Bth Vic., c. 129, per 9,024,9001., in 1845, and dated March, 1847, will bear an in terest of 3d. per centum per diem on and after the 16th inst.

DEATH OF SIR RICHARD PLASKET, K.C.M.G.— This gentleman, whose name has for many years been fa miliar in the history of our colonial empire, died on the 11th instant, at Hampson House, Torquay, Devon, aged 65. In early life he formed one of the staff at the Colonial-office, and subsequently held appointments in Malta, Ceylon, and, at the Cape of Good Hope; his career in such respect ex tending over a period of nearly thirty years. He usually acted as public and private secretary to ths home Govern ment, and generally gave much satisfaction to all parties. In consideration of his valuable services he received the order of St. Michael and St. George on its first institution. DR. CHALMERS'S BRAIN.— l'he cause of Dr. Chal mers's death was generally understood to be apoplexy, but the autopsy has shown it to have been disease of the heart, that organ having to a considerable extent been converted into fatty matter, and so becoming incapable of muscular action. The other parts of the body were decidedly healthy, Phrenology is rather at fault respecting Dr. Chalmers.
