T HE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY SPECIAL NOTICE. DIVISION OF PROFITS, 1850. Attention is particularly requested to the Benefits to be de rived by Assuring with the Company before the 15th of No vember, 1849. ALL POLICIES opened.with the Company before the 15th November will participate in the Division of Profits to be made next year, (1850,) when the Surplus Funds which have arisen since 15th November, 1845, will be divided. In accordance with the mode of Division adopted by the STANDARD, Policies have an increasing claim at EACH Divi sion of Profits : and Persons now Assuring secure one year's additional Bonus at each future Division over later Entrants. At the Division of Profits in 1835, 1840, 1845, large additions were made to the Company's Policies. For example :- 1600 was added to a Policy for £lOOO opened in 1825. 1562 10s. was added to a Policy for .11000 opened in 1826. .1525 was added to a Policy for 11000 opened in 1827. And so on, as shown in the Company's published Bonus Table. The extensive business transacted by this Company, its large Revenue and Accumulated Fund, afford every inducement to Assurers to become connected with it. The STANDARD was established in 1825, but, during the last Six Years alone, the Directors have Assured upwards of 3400 Lives, to an amount exceeding Two Millions Three Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling.

The British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship, Caledonia, Capt. John Leitch, arrived in the river this morning soon after one o'clock, having been detained outside for several hours from want of water. She has brought intelligence from New York to the 23d ult., be ing only three days later than that brought by the steamer Herrman. • She has brought twenty-eight passengers, among whom are Sir John Richardson, the celebrated na vigator, and the Rev. Ernest Hawkins, who has been on a tour in the States and Canada, in connexion with the Society for Propagating the Gospel. The intelligence outwards by the Niagara, as far as re gards the misunderstanding with M. Poussin, was consi dered satisfactory, The Americans were keenly alive to the rumoured pur pose of Russia to make the refusal of the Ottoman Porte to betray the rights of hospitality a cause of war. Money was easy and abundant, and notwithstanding the ruling quotations for sterling exchange at 10k, and the ex port of silver by each packet for Europe, no solicitude was felt for the currency. The banks had plenty of coin, and the sub-treasury had on hand a balance in coin of 3,800,000 collars. The harvest of all sorts is abundant, and there would be, during the next few months, it was confidently expected, considerable shipments to Eng land of flour, corn, barrelled provisions and bacon, al though the demand here did not encourage them. The cotton crop, it was known, would be short, but uncertainty, of course, hung over its ultimate extent. The Niagara, steam-ship, would leave New York on the 31st ultimo, her regular day, so that the accident she met with must have been slight. Thera is no new phase in Canadian politics. Memo rials for and against annexation are openly and actively circulated—the former receiving most numerous signa tures—the latter being signed chiefly by official persons. It has been officially intimated that the sea; of govern ment will be changed from Montreal to Toronto. This movement will advance the cause of annexation at the former place, whilst it will retard it at Toronto. Mr. L. M. Viger, the Receiver-General of Canada has resigned his office, and it was reported that Mr. Leslie, the Pro vincial Secretary, has done the same. The advices from Montreal are to the 22d ult. The repeal of the Navigation Laws by this country was expected to give a great impetus to ship-building in the United States. The barque Rio, of Newcastle, was fell in with on the 28th September, a complete wreck. The crew saved. The estimated loss to the planters by the Red River overflow is £5,000,000. The tobacco crop of Ohio is estimated to be worth $750,000. A vein of superior coal has been discovered in Albany county, New York.

Corrox.—Our market closed as advised per Canada on the 16th inst., with an animated demand, and sales to the extent of 4,000 bales at extreme rates. A large portion of this business was speculatis e, the buyers anticipating an advance of id. per lb. per the Niagara, then expected. On the 17th the high rates demanded drove buyers from the market. Sales of the day 600 bales, principally for home use at Ili a llt for middling fair and fair Uplands. On the 18th, the Niagara's advices were received per tele graph, and their tenor being disappointing, re-sales were made to a small extent (500 bales), at a decline of ic. On the 19th, the sales did not exceed 400 bales, speculative parcels being freely offered at c. reduction from the rates of the 16th. On the 20th, the transactions amounted to 2000 bales, chiefly re sales, at c. decline.

IT is an established fact that where S TENCH arises from DRAINS, PRIVIES, SLAUGHTER -HOUSES, STAGNANT DITCHES, &c., there CHOLERA and TYPHUS are found. COLLINS'S DISINFECTING POWDER, when exposed to moisture, yields free CHLORINE, which perfectly and almost instantly destroys these stenches, and thus prevents Cholera and Fevers. In the important property of yielding FREE CHLORINE on exposure to moisture, it differs essentially from Chloride of Lime and all liquid Disinfectants. It requires no trouble in its use. and its cost is trifling. A Package can be had from the druggist's for Sixpence, which is su f ficient for a month's domestic use. Dr. Brett and other eminent Chymists have tested and certified to its perfect efficacy. R. N. Com.r NS, Patentee, Oxford-court, Cannon-street, Lon don. Wholesale Agents.; Messrs.

ENGLISH'S PATENT CAMPHINE COMPANY, SOLE PATENTEES OF CAMPHINE, - REG to CAUTION Consumers against many•offered imitations of Patent Camphine, such being dangerous and unpleasant in burning. The recently improved Lamps, with Patent Camphine, effec tually prevent smoke and smell ; and, consequent upon the great advance in the price of all Oils, the Patent Camphine is the cheapest article offered to the .Public. The Light being equal to that of the rays of the sun, and giving a uniform Light day and night, has been adopted at the Royal Observatories of Greenwich and Woolwich, for the purpose of Photographic Registrations. Mr. Glaisher, in his letter from the Royal Ob servatory, Greenwich, writes:—" Your Camphine has burnt night and day for many months, constantly, without smoke, smell, or blacks, and has been uniformly pure." Captain Youngbusband, from the Magnetic Observatory, Woolwich, says :—" English's Patent Camphine answers our purpose admirably."

Laconic's MEDICI NES.—The extraordinary success of these Wafers has tempted unprincipled persons to imitate them in all kinds of ways—one more daring counterfeit in the form of Pills, (which has been advertised in the Man chester Newspapers,) even copies the form of the advertisement of Dr. Locock's Wafers, and states that Mr. George Westma cott, of Market-street, and other most respectable Chemists in Manchester, are "Agents by Appointment"—which is totally false, as Mr. Westmacott has not only not consented to become agent for the sale of any such preparation, but has actually de termined not to keep those Pills in his stock. [ln a letter just received by Messrs. Da Silva and Co., (the sole London Agents for Dr. Locock's Medicines,) dated Manchester, foctober 23d, 1849. Mr. Westmacott writes—" I have just been shown an advertisement of a medicine called Lococx's PILLS,' to which my name is attached as Agent, which is entirely without my authority,' and, indeed, it is my determination not to keep the medicine at all."] From such unprincipled deception the only protection consists in observing that no medicine is genuine but " DR. LOCOCK'S PULOSONIC WAFERS," forAsthma,Coughs, Colds, &c. :—and "DR. Lococx's FEMALE WAFERS" the only medicine recommended to Ladies, by the use of which, they pass through life comparatively free from complaint, and never suffer from the painful diseases of advanced life. Consumption is prevented. chlerosis, general weakness, accompanied by weariness and sinking at the pit of the stomach, feverishness, indigestion, constipation, loss of appetite, flatulence, heart burn, giddiness, palpitation, pains in the head, stomach, loins, and all hysterical affections. They have a plesant taste. Price le. 12d., 26. 9d., and Ils. per box. Observe that all lima under similar names are counterteite. SHIPPING NEWS. CLEARED FROM NEW YORK.—Oct. 20, Constitution, Brit ton, for Liverpool; Oct. 22, Empire State, Russell, for Liver pool. MARRIED.—On the 17th instant, at New York, Capt. JOHN LEITCH, of R. M. S. Caledonia, to ANNA MARIA, eldest daughter of ALEXANDER ALCOCK, Esq. Her Majesty's frigate Constance, 50. Captain Courte nay, left Valparaiso, on the 28th of August, with 1,750,000 dollars on freight for England. THE NEW NAVIGATION ACT.—Although the act (12 and 13 Victoria, cap. .29) will not come into force until the Ist of January next, yet as ships laden with the pro duce of foreign countries are on their way to our ports, it is necessary to make known some of its principal features. No goods or passengers are to be carried coastwise, nor to or from the Channellslands, nor from British possessions, except in British ships. The Queen in Council may re gulate the coasting trade of the colonies on application, and the coasting trade of the British possessions in India is to be regulated by the Governor-General in India. There are provisions with respect to British ships being registered, and the employment of British seamen. As to " reciprocity," her Majesty may restrict the privileges of foreign ships. She may prohibit or restrict the ships of foreign countries, either as to the voyages in which they may engage or as to articles which they may import in to or export from any part of the United Kingdom or of any British pos session in any part of the world, as her Majesty may think fit, so as to place tile -ships of such countries as nearly as possible on the same footing in British ports as that on which British ships are placed in the ports of such countries, and may impose additional duties. All goods imported, exported, or carried coastwise, con trary to the act are to be forfeited, and £lOO penalty levied. A new form of registry for British ships is provided by the act, and also a form of declaration to he made by owners of such vessels. There is an excep tion with regard to vesselsunder3Otons burden employed in inland navigation, and under 50 tons for the Newfoundland fishery ; they are to be admitted to be British boats, al though not registered, as long as they shall be so employed. Scovca RECONCILIATION.—A Scotchman, who was supposed to be at the point of death, sent for a neighbour with whom he was in feud, in order that he might depart in peace with all mankind. The reconciliation was ef fected, and the visitor was about to depart, when the dying man called out, " Noo, Sandie man, if I dinna dee after a', it's just to be atween us twa as it were afore." EXTRACTS FROM EVELYN'S MEMOIRS. - 1666 — May 15. Our parish was more infected with the plague than ever, and so was all the country about, though almost quite ceased at London. 1666—0 ct. 21.—This season, after so long and extraordinary a drowth in August and Septem ber, as if preparatory for the dreadful fire, was so very wet and rainy as many feared an ensuing famine. 1667 — April 4.—The cold so intense that there was hardly a leaf on a tree. The above extracts show a similarity in the weather of the year 1666 (when the plague was in Eng land) and of this year, and may be matter of interest at this time when there is a similar scourge in England. IMPORTANT TO BACHELORS.—Mr. Ross has advertised one of the most extraordinary sales that ever occurred— one which, upon the face of it, seems to make sad havoc of " our old nobility," and appeals strongly to the sympa thies of the masculine unmarried. In one day our worthy townsman will dispose of " 600 large duchesses, 500 small ditto, 400 marchionesses, 3,700 large countesses, 1,000 viscountesses, 9,500 wide ladies, 9,500 small ditto." Here is a precious pick ! Why, it is a harem large enough to suit the views of the most Turkish in our midst. Going, going, six dozen ` duchesses, to meet the taste of fasti dious swains, three of 'em are large and three `small'; a bundle of ` wide ladies' is added, together with an o dd marchioness or two, rather the worse for age. 'Tis a splendid lot for builders—who bids ?" Yes, reader, 'tis a splendid lot for builders, for mind you, these aristocratic terms of feminine distinction are applied to tlakt, and not to 'rumens—lpswich Express. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.-RETURN OF SIR J. ROSS. We have announced, in another column, the arrival at Scarborough of the Enterprise and Investigator, forming the expedition under Sir James Ross, on their passage home from the Arctic regions, having been perfectly UR successful in their search for the gallant Franklin and his brave companions. The two shipi wintered at Port Leopold, at the en trance of Prince Regent's Inlet and Barrow's Straits. On the 15th May last, Sir James Ross, with a party of sea men, set out and travelled 200 miles along the coast of North Somerset, south side of Barrow's Straits, on land never before trod by civilized men. The expedition re turned after Lein out 40 days, during which time not the slightest clue was obtained of the lost navigators. They were without the sun about 80 days, and had the tem perature 80 degrees below freezing, Fahrenheit. The Enterprise has lost four men during the voyage, and her consort, the Investigator, three. The two ships got clear of the ice September 25th, and made the Orkneys October 28th. On the Ist of Novem ber the Investigator was spoken by a vessel, and informed that no news of Franklin bad been received at home. This announcement spread a gloom over the crews of the ships, and Sir James Ross was deeply affected. Sir J. Ross visited Woolwich yesterday. LONDON MONEY MARKET.-YESTERDAY. There has been a little more buoyancy in the market for Public Securities this morning, and Consols have been done at 922 and j for the account; for money the range has been the same. Three per Cents. Reduced have been done at 91i and a-, and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 92a to k. The price of Exchequer-bills continues firm, the quotation being 44 to 47, and India Bonds 84 pm. Bank Stock has been sold at 198/. LONDON SHARE hiARKEL-YESTERDAY. Shares to-day are generally better than they were on Satur day, though the market at this moment is scarcely so firm in tone as at the commencement of business. London and North Westerns are quoted steady at 1151 to Hsi; Great Westerns, at 61 to 63; and Caledonians, at 13. North Staffordshires show no signs of improvement; they quote 9 to 8.1 discount. London and Brightons mark 73k; Midlands, 47i; South-East erns, 18i; York, Newcastle, and Benvicks, 171-; York and N. Midlands, 19g. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.- YESTERDAY. The supply of Beasts is moderate, and the demand cheerful. In some instances nearly 4s. 2d. is made of a choice Scot, but this is rather too much to quote as an average of best qualities. The weather being favourable for slaughtering, everything is cleared off, at fair prices. The number of Sheep is about the same as on Monday last ; but the demand is larger, and prices on almost all kinds have slightly advanced. Calves are by no means plentiful; they are readily disposed of at higher rates. Pigs are also dearer. From Germany and Holland there are 6 1 2 Beasts, 2,650 Sheep, 65 Calves, and 77 Pigs; from France, 18 Beasts; Leicester and Northampton, 1,700; Lincolnshire, 370; and 120 from Cambridegshire. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. With a limited amount of wheat fresh up this morning, dealers display an inclination to purchase, and the currency of Monday last bas been supported both for English and foreign. Barley, Beans, and Pease in moderate request, at previous prices, Oats sold nearly at former quotations; and Flour and Malt fully supported late rates. Best Red Wheat 445. to 465•; White ditto 465. to 495. SMITH O'BRIEN'S CAPTOR. William Hulme died suddenly on the 27th ult., at the White Chimnies, near Leek, aged 28. The deceased was the captor of Smith O'Brien, for which he received the government reward of £5OO. IRISH RABBITS.—It will be seen by an advertisement in to-day's paper, that Mr. Johnson, of Queen-square, now receives all the rabbits from two large estates in Ire land—which, with his Scotch agencies, gives him great advantages. How CARDINALS ENCOURAGE RAILWAYS. The Papal Triumvirate have decided that the railway to Na ples is a useless scheme, tending to inundate Rome with worthless foreigners; they have, therefore, definitely suspended the works, and thereby thrown thousands out of employment. WATERPROOF OVERSHOES. -- Large importations of India-rubber Overshoes have recently taken place from America, but, as they are admitted at a 10 per cent. duty, they are sent en masse, regardless of quality ; some caution should be used in their selection, more particularly as many are manufactured of the unvulcanised material, and split on exposure to any change of atmosphere. A correspondent says that, in the course of a walk round Bath, may be seen the following names of boot and shoemakers :—Long, Strong, Short, Broad, Good, Small, Tyte, Large, Pinch, New. Noble, Best, Smart, Prime, Perfect, Gould, Steele, Wood. Cotton, Brown, Greene, White, Black, William Rex, and George King.—Bath Chronicle. The Dublin Nation describes "eighty or ninety" of the Irish members of parliament as " scoundrels or inca pables, cunning knaves or weak fools !" Mr. Duffy him self, who has so long been giving lessons in crop plunder ing, and who, in the same number of his paper, puts the base and cowardly murder of Mr. Cage under the head " Retaliation," is, of course, neither knave nor fool—in his own estimation. The family of a farmer living at Witnesham, Suffolk, were seized with violent illness, on Sunday week, after dining on a piece of roast veal ; and upon investigation it was discovered that some arsenic had fallen on the drip ping pan, and had been mistaken for flour by the cook, who allowed it to remain. Fortunately medical aid was soon procured, and all the family have since recovered. CAUTION TO BRICKMAKERS.—At Wolverhampton, lately, the owner of a brickyard was fined in the mitigated penalty of f.,50 for allowing his tenant or manager to re move the bricks to the kiln before the proper duty had been levied on them. The owner was quite ignorant of the fraud, being supplied by the party making the bricks at a certain rate per 1000, including duty. In another case of a similar kind nearly 14,000 bricks were forfeited, and a penalty of £5O inflicted. A MYSTERY FOR HOUSEWIVES AND FREE TRADERS. —The Scotsman makes the following remark on the present condition of the community generally, and sug gests an important problem for the solution of housewives, and, as we beg to add, for the advocates of free trade also, like our contemporary himself :—" How comes it let housewives tell, if they can ; but true it is that domestic servants have of late years, while an opposite process has been going on among almost all other classes, been becom ing better paid and worse qualified." A truth which, though we scarcely expected it to be acknowledged by our contemporary, will bo readily recognized by the public at large. We thank the Scotsman for its valuable testimony. A CONFEDERATE ATTORNEY SUSPENDED.—At Belfast Quarter Sessions Court a scene was enacted, on Monday, in which Mr. Rea (the attorney to the Dolly's Brae Ribbon - men), the assistant barrister for Antrim, Mr. Gibson, and, the police force, were the actors. Mr. Rea, we may pre mise, was, in the days of the Irish Confederation, a red hot patriot of the Mitchel school. In consequence of his behaviour in court, the bench ordered him to be impri soned, and to be suspended for practising there for three years. In one case which Mr. Rea defended, the court told the prisoner that if his defence had been entrusted to any man of ordinary discretion, his conviction would probably not have followed. The innualfite of the Mechanics' Institute at Leeds, on Friday, elicited speeches from two very dissimilar men, —Lord Mahon and Mr. Roebuck. One almost wonders how they could find themselves together, except on the open and comprehensive arena of the House of Commons. Their remarks on this occasion are eminently character istic. His lordship wanders through the field of historical anecdote, and shows by example bow much may be picked up with very little trouble in that region of real romance. His younger hearers will soon be deep in the shelves of biography and history, and will find, to their disappoint.. ment, how few the prizes and many the blanks in the lot tery of historical research. Mr. Roebuck, on the other hand, after criticising the previous speakers, just as he would do an Irish debate, proceeds to grapple with the fundamental question of mechanics' institutes and popular education. CHARGE OF ABDUCTION.—OR Saturday, at Guildhall a diminutive red-faced man, named Robert Sutton, who described himself as 43 years cf age, but his looks indi cated him to be much older, was charged with decoying Louisa Rogers, a weak-minded girl, frora her parents' residence, and stealing property belonging to her father. The prisoner, who is stated to have amassed some pro perty as a cooper in America. treated the proceedings ap parently with the greatest indifference. The father of the girl stated that the prisoner had married her that morning at St. Duustan's Church. He believed that the prisoner intended taking her to America. They were married by license. A watch, ring, part of a locket, and other things, which were owned by Mr. Rogers, were found in the prisoner's room, and the accused stated that Louisa Rogers, then his wife, had brought them there on the previous evening. The prisoner was re manded. The young woman having declined to return to her father's house, the alderman informed her that the magistrates had the power to send her to prison if she refused to obey their order, and, eventually, the officer, induced her to return. SIMPLE PAT.--A roar of laughter was caused at the Board of Guardians to-day, -by an application for a recom pense, from a countryman who asked "any thing that was pleasing to their honours, for having saved the life of a female officer of the house—in proof of which he referred "their honours" to the comer's inqueft on 4tr I#ody. Limerick Examiner, GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. No sooner does one political difficulty get solved on the Continent than another comes to disturb that confidence which is so essential to manufacturing and commercial pursuits. The peremptory dismissal of the French minis try by the President is the latest announcement ; and with respect to this, it is generally admitted that Louis Napoleon has sheen great courage, but only done that which any other person similarly situated ought to have done ; and it is to be hoped that having unmasked his pretended friends, he and the new ministry may be ena bled to carry on the government with spirit and honesty.

In Tea there is little stirring. . _ Letters received this morning from all parts of the United Kingdom report still lower prices for most arti cles of the Corn trade, with the single exception that at Newcastle-upon-Tyne farmers' Wheat was sold at an advance of is. peg quarter, and Flour was held with somewhat more firmness, which may be mainly attributed to the comparatively small supply of country 'Wheat brought to market, and, considering the near approach of the half-yearly rent-day, this can only be accounted for by the unwillingness on the part of the farmers to realise at the present low rates. In Ireland the positive decline in value is principally confined to Indian Corn, which in Cork is 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton lower; but in other articles, although the markets do not display so much weakness as in England, a very cautious business only.is transacted. The dulness which pervaded the Corn trade in Bruns wick-street on Friday, has since continued ; prices, although not lower, evince a tendency to participate in the general decline mentioned above. Indian Corn, in consequence of the depreciation in value which has taken place in the Irish markets, has been offered here again on rather lower terms, which, however, led to no actual sales. The sales of Cotton for the week are 41,900 bales, of which the trade have taken 19,000 only. Prices have ruled irregularly, and are generally an eighth per lb. lower. The stock of American cotton is reduced to 273,500 bales, against 344,000 bales last year; and to 56,000 bales of Surat, against 74,000. The other descrip tions are in small packages. With this reduced stock, and nearly a total absence of supply till the close of the year, the stock must unavoidably become much reduced, and future prices will be governed by the nature of advice of the growing crop, and the ability of holders to keep their stock off the market. On Saturday the sales were 8,000 bales. and to-day 6,000, (including 2,000 on specu lation and for export,) at steady prices. Of to-day's sale 1,000 were Surats, 700 Brazils, and the rest consisted mainly of Americans, at 51d. et) 61d. per lb. The Cale donia is off the port, and will be up at midnight : it is not expected she will bring any accounts of moment, though those by the following steamer are looked forward to with considerable interest. Irish Butter is about 2s. per cwt. cheaper, with little doing. Our market for Scotch Pig Iron is rather inanimate. Mixed numbers may be quoted at 425. 6d. f. o. b. at Glasgow, and 475. 6d. to 48s. at Runcorn. Bar Irou £5 ss. f. o. b. here. By circulars of brokers in London and Liverpool, it appears that the price of Tobacco has risen within the last few days, and that there is every probability of its continuing, in consequence of the comparatively small quantity in hand. At Liverpool the market has been very animated during the past month, and the sales amount to the very extra ordinary number of 4385 hhds., which is stated to be the largest on record. The Wool market remains in the same steady state as quoted in our last week's report. We have had a fair importation of Mediterranean wools. Importation for the week ending sth November, 1849 :—Foreign, 1,199 ; Irish, 53 ; Scotch, 304 ; English, 4 ; Total 1,560 bales. The arrivals from British America, since our monthly report, consist of one vessel, GOO tons. St. John Pine ranges in price from 17d to 18(1 per foot, being a slight decline. One cargo (very inferior and low average) sold at 14d. Quebec Pine is firm in price, but at the low quotations. Deals.: Spruce sell at £7 to £7 10s, and yellow Pine at £9 lOs to £lO 10s. Messrs. Holme, Slater, and Crook's Circular. Yesterday afternoon, a boat, with four persons on board, was upset during the squall, at the Cobourg Dock, and two of the party were drowned. On Sunday morning a female named Catherine Morri son, aged 68, was found dead in bed. She had been com plaining for several days. The dwelling-house of Mrs. Clegg, at Oxton, was robbed on Sunday night, during her absence, by the domestic left in charge, who decamped with thirty shillings, foUr £5 notes, and some plate, On Sunday, Mr. George Matthews, a commercial tra veller, whilst stepping on board the steamer at Woodside, fell into the water, but in the fall was so severely crushed between the vessel and the slip that he lies in a dangerous condition, having crushed his ribs and injured his lungs. ROYAL Am CHITIIEATRE .-The performances this week have been of the usual diversified character and ability. O❑ Friday Mr. Shuttleworth, the active and polite box bookkeeper, took his benefit, and gave an excellent even ing's bill. The performances of the two Viennaisis Dan senses were especially admired. TxEATRE.RoYAL.—Last evening Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean commenced a short engagement at this theatre, on which occasion the play of " The Wife's Secret" was ad mirably put on the stage, and supported by a powerful cast. The house, considering the inclement night, was a good one ; anti the piece went off most satisfactorily. The Amyott of Mr. Kean, and the Lady Eveline o. Mrs. Kean were splendid pieces of acting. The Page was excellently played by Mrs. J. Newton, and Jabez Sneed was well played by our old favourite, Mr. James Browne. SCRIPTURAL EDUCATION. — On Sunday evening last an eloquent and instructive sermon was preached in St. Mi chael's Church, Pitt-street, in behalf of the South Church. of Er.gland Schools, by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, to a densely crowded congregation. The rev. preacher se lected as his subject one of the typical institutions of the law, and drew forth from it, with his usual perspicuity, the great truths of the Gospel. Some remarks with which he prefaced his sermon, on the imperfect character of mere secular knowledge, were exceedingly valuable and well timed ; and equally so were his observations at the close of the sermon on the great Christian duty of liber ality in the cause of Christ. Between £3O and £4O were collected after the sermon. POST-OFFICE SABBATH DESECRATION STOPPED.—We rejoice to be able to state that there is good reason for our belief that Mr. Rowland Hill's scheme for the desecration of the Sabbath at the Post-office has proved suicidal— that, ere many days shall have elapsed, it will cease to exist, save in the memory of the masses of individuals whose earnestness, zeal, and fidelity to the claims of our religion have contributed to the downfall of this daring plan. We can inform our readers that on Saturday even ing the superintending president of the Inland Office announced that yesterday (Sunday) should be the last Sabbath on which he would perform the duties recently imposed upon him. The result, there is every reason to expect, will - be—a complete abandonment of the whole' scheme in the course of a few days ; but, whilst even the shadow of a doubt of success remains, no effort to pro r cure a triumphant issue should be left untried.—Morning Herald of yesterday. [Many of the ria9st efficient clerks, &0., have also resigned their offices.] MR. RYALLS, THE VOCALIST.— Of this gentleman we will be allowed to say, that he requires not the pres tige of his British celebrity to cause him to be received favourably —we may add enthusiastically—by an Irish auditory. Glowing, yet refined, his notes fall upon the senses with a freshness that never wearies. His judg ment and style of singing happily unite to do justice to the natural gifts he possesses, and no vocalist knows more successfully to employ or add those lights and shades to the theme lie illustrates, and which so fully evidence the resources of a highly cultivated and con summate artiste than does this gifted gentleman. "In this old Chair," which he gave with his usual precision and beauty on Thursday night, he was rapturously greeted, and in the beautiful ballad of Shield, " The Thorn," ho was repeatedly interrupted by bursts of applause, as also in the " Irish Emigrant," which he gave in reply to an enthusiastic encore. In the other pieces, in which he took so leading a part, his auditors were carried away by the admiration which his powers called forth.—Water lord Mail. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—On TUCSday . mo rning a distinguished member of the me di ca l professpn, i n Lon don, was found dead in bed. with a bible . lying near his right arm.

Two letters were found on a slab in the hall after his death. One of them was addressed to his wife, and ran :—" My dear Maly Ann,—Employ the lawyer to execute my will. You and Annie can do it. If you will take advice, I am sure Mr. Pringle will advise you. You will find £lOO in my drawer, in the vol. of ' Bell's Surgery,' page 472, also nearly £450 at Hoare's bank.

May God bless you and Missey, and preserve you from harm or trouble,—Your ever affectionate husband T , HOMAS MORTON." The o th er l e tt er was res i gnation of his situation at the hospital. Some very curious memo randa were found in the pockets of the deceased : " Last year I was spending at the rate of £5OO a year, which was absurd. I might have kept a brougham, or furnished the drawing-room, or bought £2OO stock, which would have been best. Extreme and constant economy, spending not one shilling I can avoid. Pay off my debts. Always be engaged in some useful and honourable work. Always be a gentleman, honest, truth-telling, and affec tionate to my family.
