A striking instance of the power of scientific art to re me dy the defects of nature leas lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, gentleraan residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, Ott returning from ilartcwaue Market to Weybred, where he then re- Sided, sustained 90 severe a fall from hta boric., as to bring rat an ili- Seat of several months' duration, during which period his hair con- Untied to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the p ar i s h, o ff ere d hi m a w i g as a su b s tit u t e f or s lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the !tre a ct of ROWLAND'S 3IACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying I .° Ivith the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the grovrtn r ecommenced, and he has now to bwitt 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 toe strongly fbr itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the ; prevent s it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandruff, and Makes it beauthully soft and curly. *** Beware of " spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the "implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception. ROWLAND'S MICASS tit OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20, lIATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and Perfumers. A N Additional and Important Evidence of the Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC IILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire. " " Kingscliffe, 2•T orthamptonshira, March 14, 1846 . To Mr. Thomas Pront, 229, Strand, London. "Sir,—l feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to Inform you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I was fre quently laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to attend to business for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's Pills, but it was not until a friend pressed them upen me that I was in duced to take them, and from which I found speedy relief. This is several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. • I ant, Sir, your obedient servant, " SAMU DIXON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing EL effects of this 'valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, risen- Daatism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, slope have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the eem inanity, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the inspOrtant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, The efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommen dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective ter gout and rheumatism in all Its various forms, including sciatica, l umbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth- Ltehe, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any Aurid. and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, Or ether vital part.

COPX OF A YOUNG LADY'S VALENTINE. A nice young lady, with a fond intent, Address'd a letter to a nice young gent. Her sole design, of course, was that of wooing, And this the season sanctioned her in doing. I shan't disclose the name of this young lady, It might be Tomkins, or it might be Adey. Nor shall I name the gent. in this affair, For broken confidence I cannot bear. 'Twould matter nothing if his name were Loppy, The Valentine's the same, and here's A COPY: — Dear youth I when I look at your form, I long for your hand to he mine. And often my heart has felt warm, At the thoughts of my lov'd Valentine. The elegant manner you dress, My high approbation has won ; And I think I shall make a good guess, If I hint at E. MOSES and SON. It may be a fond failing to own, That my thoughts of your fashion are such ; But, certainly, nature alone Could never delight me so much. The dresses of MOSES and SON, Add beauty to beauty, forsooth ; And hence has my noti ce b een won, To thy charming appearance, dear youth. If we're ever united in life, (Which fancy too fondly supposes), Yes, if ever we're husband and wife, 'Twill be all through the dresses of MOSES, LIST OF PRICES. =Ain YAM X s. d Beaver Tagllolll4,4ogringtons •.••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • 0 la 5 Chesterfields and l • d Chesterfield', and every descriptioa l'aahas, D'Orsays, a- 11 •••• • • • 1 5 0 of winter moats ...• 4 every style and make • ...... ••• • • 0 8 6 Boys' Winter Coats, in .. ~.. 1 ,1 , —,..„ •••••••• ••••• • • • • • 0 10 6 Tweed Trousers, lined • • ' '# • Doeskin. • • • • . • • • • • • .. •'4." -- ** •••••••• • . • • • • • • 1 1 0 5 6 6 . . . • • • • • .. •• : : : : •. .. .• .. 0 2 0 bra Coats— .• •• .. . • • " - •• Frock Coats.. .. ,t!ri3's' Hussar and Tunic Suitt' • • • • ............. . 0 3 0 'lan' Winter Trousers •••" ' • •• . . .....

RED LION INN and POSTING-HOUSE, BOSTON. CAROLINE MINTON takes the earliest oppor tunity of expressing her grateful thanks to the public for the very liberal support they have bestowed upon her late husband, and more especially to those kind friends who have sympathised with her in her deep affliction ; and begs most respectfully to inform them that, with the assistance of her Son, she purposes carrying on the Red Lion Inn, and the Business attached to it, in all its branches ; in which she trusts she shall meet with a continuance of their patronage, which she will endeavour by every effort in her power to merit. It will be the aim of Caroline Minton and her Son to retain for the Red Lion Inn the character it has hitherto borne, of a comfortable Family Hotel ; to increase its accommodation to those agricultural friends who have so long frequented it; to extend its advantages as a Commercial Inn ; to pay unremitting attention to the Posting Department; and, by selling none but the best Wines and Spirits, and paying constant regard to the wishes of her guests, to strive to gain the favourable opinion of every class of her customers. 30 .* The Red Lion Brewery will be conducted as usual, under the most careful superintendence, and with a due regard to the produc tion of the best article, at the lowest prices consistent with a fair remuneration. Boston, Feb. 8, 1847. - - - Her Majesty's Theatre opened last evening for the season, and, notwithstanding the difficulties with which Mr. Lumley has had to contend, notwithstanding that it opened with an almost entirely new orchestra, an entirely new chorus, and, with one ex ce p t i on, an entirely new company, the opening night of the season of 1841 is without comparison the best opening night of any opera season within our remembrance. The orchestra is the most perfect that has ever performed within these walls —more fall and more complete than the former orchestra; there is also a greater degree of ensemble in its performance. Mr. Balfe conducts it as though it were one great instrument, which he guides according to his vo lition. It has, moreover, the advantage of numbering among ifs members the Chevalier Anglois, the greatest contrabassist in the world, who is what Dragonetti was twenty years ago. The orchestra is peculiarly rich in bass instruments, and the effect produced by the unison of the violincellos, the double basses, the trumpets, and. the trombones, is indescribably sublime. The chorine too, is very strong, and admirably drilled, and, unlike the old chorus, instead of arranging them selves in a semicircle on the stage, each chorus singer is an actor and takes a part in the scene. They divide into groups and re-unite, and net, instead of standing still like automatons. The greatest credit is elne to Mr. Balfe for the infinite pains he must have taken in making the orchestra and chorus so perfect, and we congratulate Mr. Lumley on having en gaged the most perfect orchestra, and the most perfect chorus ever heard within these walls. The opera was Donizetti's La Favorita, the plot and music of which is familiar to every English playgoer, and the following was the cast : Fernando, Signor Gardoni (his first appearance in this country); Alfonso XI., King of Castile, Signor Superchi (his first appearance); Bahlassan s Signor Bouche (his first ap pearance); Leenora, Mdlle. Sanchioli; Ines, Mdlle. Nascio (her first appearance in this country). Signor Gardoni is quite worthy of the high fame which he has acquired. His voice is a tenor of moderate power, of considerable compass, of great flexibility, and of excessive sweetness. It is capable of great variety of expression, and is completely under ma nagement. Judging from his Fernando, we should say that the tender and the paLl:et.'s is his fin*. In Elvirto t for in stance, we should opine that he would be inferior only to Rubini. He is a remarkably handsome man. His features are perfectly classical. To look at him in repose he seems the model of some antique statue. The duet with Sanchioli in the first act was exquisitely given, and the grand scene at the conclusion of the third act, in which he casts his broken sword at the feet of the King, was given with great spirit. The great triumph, however, was the fourth act, the whole weight of which rests upon the tenor, and nobly did Gardoni sustain it. Nothing could ex c e e d the exquisite expression, the tender, heart-rending pathos which he infused into the romanza in the fourth act (perhaps the chef d'ceuvre of Do nizetti) ; and the duet which follows with Sanchioli, and which may be considered as the finale of the opera, was given with an intensity that went at once to the heart. Signor Gardoni is still young. He has a brilliant career before him. We give him four years to be the first tenor in the world, not by sufferance merely, but to be universally acknowledged as such. Signor Superchi is one of the most wonderful bari tones we have ever heard. Never has there been heard a voice of such depth, such power, such firmness, and at the same time such wonderful flexibility. To the depth of the bass it superadds the flexibility of the most flexible of tenors. Superchi is moreover a great actor, and " makes up" with great taste. His Alphonso, whether considered musically or histrionically, was perfect. The celebrated duet with Leonora was superbly given by Superchi and Sanchioli, and was rewarded with a rapturous encore. His aria in the second act was given with exquisite taste Like Gardoni he is young, like Gardoni he enunciates with beautiful distinct ness—like Gardoni he is a perfect musician, and like Gar doni he will at no distant period be the first singer of his class. Gardoni.and Superchi will be ere long, the new Rubini and Tamburini. Bouche has a magnificent bass voice, which was of immense service in the concerted pieces, and is more over a good actor. Leonora is certainly the best character in which Mademoiselle Sanchioli has yet appeared. Her splendid voice enabled her to do full justice to the music, and her energetic style of acting told admirably in Leonora, which is, par excellence, a character of energy. Mademoiselle Nascio is very young and very pretty; she had little to do, but that little she did well. The opera was admirably put on the stage, and there was alto gether a completeness about the manner of its production which we have never before observed on an opening night. The principal artistes were called for at the conclusion of the third act, and also at the conclusion of the opera. The National Anthem was sung by the whole corps, after which the new ballet of Coralia was produced with the following cast :—Coralia, Mdlle. C. Rosati (her first appearance); the Knight Hildebrand, M. Paul Taglioni ; Squire, M. Gouriet ; Bertha. Mdlle. Petit; Page, Mdlle. Honore ; Duke, M. Gros selin ; Fraisondin, Al. V e nefra; Fisherman, M. di Mettle. Tis ballet is founded on the Baron de la Motte Fouquf's beautiful tale of Undine. It is in five tableaux, and the fol lowing is the plot : " Sir Hildebrand, of Ringstetten, is victor at a tournament given by the Grand Duke, and attracts the attention of the Prince's adopted daughter, Bertha. She presents him with her scarf, which possesses magical properties, but requires him to enter the 'Enchanted Forest,' of which wondrous legends are related. With that chivalric deference to beauty so prevalent in feudal times, Sir Hildebrand obeys her com mand, and actually forces his way through the forest. The Marine King, Troisondin (the Kuhleborn of La Mothe- Fouqui), the most potent spirit of thi ll aellte7 has directed the steps of the knight towards the luft of a poor fisherman. This simple abode forms an afire le contrastirto the scenes of splendour which Sir Hildebrand has lately quitted. The old fisherman and his wife receive him hospitably; but the principal charm of the cottage is their adopted daughter, the lovely Coralia (the ljndine of Feuqui), who is at once Palirsnisivater alynticit.:;aatt 4 .liteerserezie Jeri &Ate_ ;ede and, though alma has been reared by mortals, retains all the sportiveness of her peculiar nature. Her heedless conduct in the presence of the stranger draws upon her the reproof of the fisherman's wife, but the playful girl is unwilling to bea of restraint, and in a fit of ill-humour bound s out th cot tage. A violent storm arising, the old people and the knight become alarmed for the safety of Coralia , and go in search_ of her; at last she is found by Hildebrand rep osin g on a bed of leaves in the middle of the large lake, which supplies the fisherman with the means of subsistence. By the aid of the scarf which Bertha had given him, Hildebrand draws her to the bank. Their mutual love is now avowed; nymphs, of d; and the t the nymphs, companions of Coralia, appear, as if t o el happiness of their beautful friend. On the app m the fisherman and his wife, who have come t o the same part part of the lake, Sir Hildebrand declares his intention to marry Coralia, and the union takes place without delay, the awful Troisondin attending as an unseen witness of the ceremony. " The return of Sir Hildebrand to the court of the Grand Duke at first occasions general delight; but the joy of Bertha s is changed to sorrow on perceiving that her former lover Da is still brought with with him his bride. Her annoy ance further increased by the appearance of the fisherman and his wife, who claim her as their own daughter, lost at the time satisfy when they found Coralia.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We are much surprised that the editor of the Medical Gazette, is his last number of February 12, at page 285, should attempt to screen Dr. Sir Theodore de Mayerne from participation in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury by poison administered " medicinally," and this, too, in the face of such an eminent jurist as Mr. Amos. As to Mayerne being retained in the King's service after the death of Overbury and Pence Henry (which is relied upon by the Gazette as proof of his innocence), it is, in our judgment, no inference what ever in his favour, but rather the contrary, since it was the King's interest to keep the poisoning a secret. In conclu sion, we beg to state that we have shown, in all their bear ings, by an illustration, the dangers to which all classes of her Majesty's subjects are exposed so long as deadly chemical preparations are held out "medicinally," whether by doctors or no doctors, the whole of which is made palpable to the meanest capacity. The illustration may be had at the Hygeist office, 368, Strand, London, and, in our opinion, should be in the possession of every individual.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants, the Members of the British College of Health, ler and on behalf of Hygeists.—Feb. 15,1847. WASTE LANDS. TO THE EDIT OR OF THE SUN. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Siit,—The Rev. Mr. Alpinele published in yesterday's Chronicle a statement, showing the number of people holding land in his parish, and the quantity of acres possessed by each. This statement, the reverend gentlemaq, says, " gives that there is hope for Irelapd in that part of the Midi ferisi policy so strongly censured by the Hon. Member for Bath." With great deference, I submit that the example stated by the reverend gentleman is widely different from the Minis terial policy on this subject, as clearly proved by the following table : MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUAl?rEll TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very dull, and the sales amounted only to 1,000 bales, at about previous rates.—Shares were neglected. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lainond and 'Co., proceeded without much alteration; prices were steady, and a good proportion of the shares were sold. The following-are a few of the principal sales:— East Indian Waterford, Wexford, and Valentia ...... 0 5 0 Great Western of Bengal 0 5 6 Calcutta and St. Georie's Point 0 4 0 Boston. Stamford, and Birmingham South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 2 6 6 Eastern Counties Eastern Counties, York Extension ..... 4 11 6 Shropshire Union and Canal - 1 6 6 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 3 15 0 Newmarket and Cheeterford.. 9 6 0 Cornwall 0 17 0 North Staffordshire .., 8 3 0 Manchester and Southampton 1 11 0 North British, Extension 1 6 0 Great Northern (London and York Reg.) 3 16 0 Buckinghamshire , Taw Vale Extension and Dock .. 3 5 0 The large majority against Lord George Bentinck's Rail way Bill for Ireland has afforded much satisfaction here, because it will afford Government a reasonable opportunity of proposing its financial measures unshackled by engagements previously entered into by Parliament. Most persons expect a plan from Lord John Russell that will partly meet the object sought by the protectionists, and not derange the money market so much. Until the budget is announced, it is not considered probable that the Bank of England will further advance the rate for discounts. Advices of December 20, from the Cape of Good Hope, state that there had been no further hostilities between the Kafirs and troops, but that matters could not be considered to be entirely settled. The Brilliant had arrived at Pert Elizabeth with stores, and 40,0001. in apeele. The Kafirs, who bad submitted were in course of location. The latest dates received out from England were to Sept. 30. In the Grand Duchy of Baden great regard for the poor is manifested, for in all the provinces of that state, councils, made up of clergymen, burgomasters, and the leading citizens, have been appointed, whose duty is to see that the unemployed poor are set to work on things of public utility, and also to make wholesale purchases of provisions to be sold to them at a moderate price, or given gratuitously, as cir cumstances may require. The means will arise from the contributions of the benevolent, and the funds of the different communes ; and in cases where the communes are too poor for the purpose, then at the expense of the State. In 1839, says a letter from St. Petersburgh, the Empress of Russia expressed her satisfaction at the first attempts of the Agronomical Society of Moscow to introduce the cultiva tion of silk into that country, and ordered a small . establish ment for that purpose to be prepared at the Castle of Hude • netz, under the superintendence of the Horticultural Society of Moscow. This patronage led several Russian. adies to establish plantations for that purpose to which they attended personally. Amongst these was the Lady 'Berednikef; wife of the Privy Councillor of that name, who in the year 1845 obtained a sufficient quantity of silk for the production of various articles of elegance for the exhibition in that city, and which, being afterwards sent as a nuptial present to the Archduchess Olga, obtained for the Lady Berednikof a magnificent gift of bril liant earrings from the Empress of Russia, in token of her approval of the success attending her cultivation of this new article of industry. The English Funds have been very well supported again to-day, and the large ministerial majority has reassured the speculators. Consols are 90% to 91 for present transfer and the 25th instant. The value of Exchequer bills has rallied to one shilling and lout shillings premium. A funding of this security, since the March bills are to be re newed at lid. per centutn per diem, appears to be determined on. Bank Stock has been quoted at 203 to 204, and India Stock 250.

RIGBY WASON. The mortality of London, and indeed, of England generally, shows a gradual annual decrease, whilst it is well known the population increases considerably. The rates of premium for life insurance have been greatly reduced during the last few years, yet the offices continue as prosperous as formerly. These facts clearly demonstrate that some cause, either unknown or unheeded, must have produced such favourable results. Amongst these causes, the increased knowledge of anatomy, and the many very valuable disco veries in medicine, will stand most prominent. The small pox, that annually carried off thousands, has been success fully combatted by vaccination ; and Gout, that used to claim its numerous victims, has been thoroughly vanquished by Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. The Gazette of last evening contains a proclamation, by the Queen, for the election of a Peer of Scotland, in the room of John Lord Rollo, deceased.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY Since Monday scarcely any fresh English Wheat ha& been received for our market, coastwise or by land carriage, con sequently we had an unusually small quantity on offer. All descriptions commanded a very steady sale, and in some in stances a further slight improvement in value was obtained for selected parcels of both white and red. Owing to the high rates demanded by the holders of foreign Wheat, the amount of business doing in that article was small, yet pre vious rates were firmly supported. Barley moved off freely at the late advance in the quotations. The show of Malt being trifling, the factors refused to sell except at a rise of is per quarter. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were in short supply, and fair inquiry at Monday's prices. ARRIVALS. I Wheat. Barley. i Oats I Flour. English ....•. 1,210 qrs. 970 qrs. G6O qrs.

John Gibbs, Henry Chandler, John Richards , and John Bowen, were placed at th e b ar , h av i ng b een remanded several times on a charge of attempting to pick pockets. They bad been seen by an officer named Dunn, and by Mr. Grosvenor, the box keeper at the Lyceum, loitering about in Wellington-street, and trying the pockets of several ladies. Not less than a dozen policemen from various divisions were in attendance to give the prisoners" a character." They were all known and suspected. Chandler, Richards, and Bowen had been frequently summarily convicted, but Gibbs, though known as an associate of thieves, was not proved to have ever been in custody. • - Mr. Robins, who appeared for the prisoner Chandler, sub mitted that there was not sufficient evidence to convict, inasmuch as there was no evidence to show that they fre quented the place for the purpose of committing a felony, as required by the Act. Mr. HENRY said that what the Act required was, that they should be proved to be " suspected persons frequenting any place of public resort w ith i n t en t to comm i t a felony. " Now, it was proved that they were suspected persons—three of them convicted persons—and as to the " frequenting with intent," &c., the best evidence of the intention was their conduct, as they did actually attempt to pick pockets. He would, therefore, convict them all; but as Gibbs had never been in custody before, he would make. a distinction in his case. He would sentence Chandler, Richards, and Bowen to three months' imprisonment each, and Gibbs to one month. ' FEMALE SERVANTS' HOME SOClETY.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, a meeting of this society was held in the Hanover-square Rooms, and Lord R. Grosvenor presided on the occasion. His Lordship shortly explained the object of the meeting, which was, that the inhabitants of theNest end might know what the present position of the institution was. It was now entering on the twelfth year of its exist ence, and the importance of its objects might be estimated from the fact that 15,000 female servants were estimated to be out of place at the same time in London. At the con clusion of the Noble Lord's address. the Rev. Mr. Simpson rma...tur, ak. -.4r.5.•..AL T. servants out of place had been received in the course ot the past year; that 2,447 female servants had been registered, and 1,037 applications had been made to them for servants. The total number of such applications since the histitution of the society amounted to 2,584 ; the total number of regis trations to 7,233; and the number of cases in which shelter and relief have bean afforded to 2,423. A series of resolu tions were then adopted by the meeting calculated to ad vance the interests of the institution, the finances of which are, it appears, in rather an embarrassed condition. Several clergymen who have taken a warm interest in the affairs of the society are at present liable to the extent of 5001. in consequence of their benevolent anxiety to have its useful ness extended; and it is with the view of relieving them from this liability that the friends and supporters of the in stitution have been appealed to. In consequence probably of the unfavourable state of the weather, the meeting was thinly attended. FIRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT CAMDEN TOWN.— Yesterday, Mr. G. J. Mills held an inquiry at the University College hospital, on the body of Edward Franklin, who, together with several other persons, was buried by the falling of a dust heap under the following circumstances :—Edward Brown, a dustman, in the employ of Mr. Richardson, dust contractor, said, that about seven o'clock that morning wit ness and the deceased, together with twelve or fourteen other persons, were engaged in sifting under a dust heap about twenty feet high, when suddenly the upper part of the heap gave way, and the whole of the persons were buried more or less under the mass. S ome were f ortunate enoug h to ex tricate themselves, and every exertion was used to rescue their companions , three or four of whom were only recovered just in time to save their lives. The deceased being at the time nearest the heap, was covered by such an immense mass that upon being conveyed to University College Hospital he was pronounced dead. Some of the other sufferers were also taken to the hospital, but recovered speedily after their ad mission. In answer to the Coroner, the witnesses stated that the fall resulted from the rottenness of the upper portion of the heap consequent on the recent thaw. The jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental death." Loss OF THE PACKET-SHIP GARRICK.—The splendid ship Garrick, Captain Trask, belonging to Mr. E. K. Collins, of this city, went ashore on Deal Beach, Jersey coast, at about six o'clock on Tuesday night, where she remained up to eight o'clock yesterday morning. We learn from a mes senger sent by Captain Trask that she lies broadside and high up, with head to the southward, and was making considerable water. But a few moments before she struck, according to the lead, 15 fathoms were found; the vessel was t hen g oin g at the rate of 81 knots. The weather was so thick that it was found necessary to keep the lead constantly i n use, with persons on the look out. The Garrick left Liverpool on the 14th of December, having on board one cabin and 358 steerage passengers, and a valuable cargo, for this port. Although her position is by no means favourable, yet if the weather continues moderate, it is thought she may be got off. She is a noble vessel, and one of our first class packets. Her measurement is about 1,000 tons. She is valued at 75,000 to 80,000 dollars. She is insured in Wall-street, probably for two-thirds her value. None of the passengers had quitted the vesssel when the messenger left yesterday; they were awaiting a steamer to take them to the city. Two steamers went to her assistance early yesterday morning; they will return this morning with the passengers, and with what light articles can be conveniently taken from the ship.— New York Bel aid, Jan. 28. THE POOR. REMOVAL ACT, AND THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT.—The Committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the operation of the Poor Removal Act of last ses,ior, and investigate the Law of Settlement, met again yesterday. The members deliberated for nearly two hours with closed doors, and immediately the doors were opened to the pablic proceeded to examine Mr. White, formerly solicitor to the Poor-law Commissioners, as to his views of alterations in the system of the relief of the poor. Mr. White suggested that the law of settlement should be abolished, and the able• bodied poor should be re lieved from a union rate, and the impotent poor from a parish rate. He entered into various details of his scheme, and con cluded by admitting that his plan was preparatory to a national rate. Mr. White, at the request of several members of the Committee, who said that they did not fully compre hend the details of his plan, undertook to prepare a written statement of his scheme. To-morrow the Committee pro pose to take evidence explanatory of the present state of the law of settlement, and next Tuesday Mr. Chadwick is to be examined upon the subjects of inquiry referred to the Com- mittee. MONET MARKET.—The premium zsin on t golcla o t fPuarisvis. is 10 per mille, which, at the Eng lish price 10 1 4 d. per ounce for standard go 25.40 ; and the exchange at Paris 01, gives an ndLoudonatexshcohratnbgeeinogf 25.274, it follows that gold f is 0.4 11 a 9 cent.pl g r borh the dea price rerin of P g a o r l i d s than in London. By advfces ro is 4314 per mark, which , at the g he m En o lis 10 1 4 d. per ounce for standard English hgiliveh:t price of anexcha B n L g i e 7 o s. of 13.84 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.64, it follows that gold is 0.70 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on . London is 1064 per cent. , and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 3.08 per cent. against Eng land. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, tie interest must be deducted from the above difference. REDUCTION OF THE DUTY ON TEA..-4 meeting of bankers, merchants, and other inhabitants of Manchester was held at the Town-hall on Tuesday, the Mayor of Man chester presiding, for the purpose of considering " the urgent necessity for a large reduction of the present high duty on tea." memorial to Government, embodying the sentiments of the meeting, was unanimously adopted. GALWAY ELECTION.—The poll commenced on Saturday, and at the close of the day the sheriff announced that Mr. Monaghan, the Solicitor-General, had a majority of fourteen, the total number polled, so far, being nearly six hundred, or about half the constituency. WOOLWICH, FEB. 16.—The Cockatrice victualling transport-ship left Woolwich yesterday morning with boilers for the souv-kitehens in Ireland, e GENERAL , SIA. the 10th instant, pub- " ,e, rederick William, by the grace of God, King o f Prussia, &c., have manifested by the law of the 3d of this month, and the edicts of the same date, our intention to receive the eight provincial diets of the kingdom in one assembly, not only when a new levy or augmentation of the taxes may be required, but. also for other affairs of impor tance. The finances of the state, thanks to a long and happy peace, are in a well ordered condition, but as there are seine important affairs upon which it is proper to consult the Diet, and as in these circumstances we feel the necessity of forming a central and regular re-union of the states, for the purpose of consulting them upon those affairs, and upon the periods at which we wish to assemble the faith ful states of our monarchy for the future, we have con sequently resolved to call together the General Diet in our capital and residence of Berlin on the 11th of April of the present year, and to open them in pe rson , an d we c h arge the Minister of State to cause the convocation to be made by the Minister of the Interior, and to make the necessary preparations. " Given at Berlin, the Bth Feb. 1847. (Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM." EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Last evening, when Mr. Elliott had disposed of the business of the day at Lambeth Police -court, and was about to leave the bench, a respectable man, accompanied by his wife and two constables belonging to the V division of police, entered the court, and applied for the magistrate's advice and assis tance to obtain possession of his son, a lad of fifteen years of age, who was kept from his home under the following extra ordinary circumstances :—From the statement of the appli cant and his wife, it appeared that their son had a situation in the office of a merchant in the City, and had unfortunately, as they said, been taken particular notice of by the widow of a very distinguished officer, recentlydeceased, when that lady called to see her nephew, who was employed in the same office. About three weeks ago the lady in question invited the lad to spend some days at her house at Clapton, with two or three Youths from the west end of the town ; and they (his parents) feeling flattered at the time at what they conceived to be a great mark of kindness and condescension, gave their consent to the acceptance of the invitation. His visit to the lady was prolonged beyond the time originally intended; for, instead of returning to their (the parents') house at Lea bridge, he proceeded to Clapton-hill. There was not the slightest suspicion of the existence of anything improper, particularly as the two youths from the west end of the town continued to remain at the lady's house. On Saturday last, however, the nephew of the lady had brought them a letter, which had been received on that day from their son, anu in which he i`zndered the resignation of his situation, and stated that he should not again return to his office. Astonished that her son shotfld have written such a letter, and give up a situation that was likely to lead to a perma nency for life, the mother hurried off to the residence of the lady before alluded to, where she found her son, and, upon demanding an explanation of his extraordinary conduct, the promising youth coolly replied that he was in a fair way of being made independent for life, or something to that effect. His tone and manner were, however, such as to leave no doubt that a more than ordinary and more than proper inti macy had taken place between him and his lady patroness. This being the opinion of the mother, she at once demanded an interview with the lady, when the latter, who is verg ing on sixty years of age, unblushingly admitted the truth of the mother's suspicions, made the most fervent avowal of her passionate attachment for the boy, and de clared it to be her intention at once to marry him ! The mother, shocked and disgusted at this disclosure, insisted upon taking her son home with her, and after much difficulty she succeeded in getting the lad away. On Sunday the two boys who were staying with the lady called at the house of the parents in a cab, and requested that, as the lady was going out of the country, he ( the son) would pay her the last visit. This the parents consented to, but accompanied him themselves to the ho use , b u t a f ter the interview he re fused to leave. On the following day (Monday) the lady removed from her residence, N 0.3, Grove, East Clapton, and took apartments at the Railway Hotel, Nine Elms Station, intending to start for Guernsey, and there to get married. Here, however, they (the parents of the youth) had traced her, and having seen their son they endeavoured to prevail upon bins to return with them; but he refused to do so, and they now wished to know how they were to act to get him away from the woman. Mr. ELmorr remarked, that the parents had acted very foolishly, when they got the boy home, not to have kept him. The only course was to get him away, give him a good flogging, and keep him at home. Bent, one of the constables who accompanied the parties, said, that on the day before the son of the applicants and the other two lads, one of whom appeared to be eleven and the other twelve, while out had picked up a little girl, whom they took home to the lady, and the latter at once engaged her as a servant. In the morning the lady ordered an expensive dinner for five, including herself, the three lads, and the ser vant last-mentioned; but Mr. Howse, the proprietor of the hotel, refused to prepare it. The constable also said, that he ascertained Mrs. Boys had presented the son of the applicant with the most expensive rings, a splendid gold watch, and a massive neck chain ; and further, on that morning, she handed him 131. for pocket money. The mother of the youth here observed, that these costly presents from a lady whose hair was perfectly grey and cer tainly old enough to be his grandmother, had, she doubted not, turned the head of her poor boy. ELuore thought the father would be perfectly justified in taking away his sou and giving him a good flogging. The parties left the court, declaring their determination to have him one way or the other.

A FEMALE DANIEL LAMBERT. Mrs. Elizabeth Armitage, a lady of alarmingly large proportions is now being;exhibitedlat the Cosmorama Rooms, in Regent-greet, and promises to become an object of extreme interest with those who relish unnatural freaks of development. Mrs. Armitage is the first parallel to the renowned Lambert that the public has witnessed, her dimensions being 85 inches round the hips, her bust 72, her waist 47, her arm and the calf of her leg each 22i ! These be noble proportions, and may well excite astonishment, the more so as the head, hands, and feet are scarcely a shade bigger than those of ordinary mortals. This full-blown lady, a sample of the female sex magnified beyond all belief, with all these rare burdens• of flesh, walks easily, though the weight of 445 pounds, the aggregate of her personal conditions, is no joke to carry. Her health is stated to be good, and her bodily enlargements the mere growth of pure healthy flesh, the increase of which, it is supposed, is even yet not terminated! She is a native of Norwich, and is now 29 years of age. Her manners are polite, and her conversation cheerful and unaffected. THREE GIRLS DROWNED.—A melancholy case occurred at South Stockton o❑ Tuesday. It appears that soon after five o'clock in the afternoon, just as the cotton factory had given over working, a number of boys and girls went to have a slide on a pond formed by what is termed the " returned water" from the mill. Amongst them were three girls of the names of Mary Hutchinson, aged 14, Isa bella Donkin, 13, and Lydia Moxon, 13, who having ven tured too far, the ice gave way, and they were precipitated into the water. There were several young people of both sexes near the place at the time, and a lad named Donkin, brother to Isabella Donkin, threw off his jacket and plunged into the water to endeavour to save his sister, but his efforts were unavailing. As more than halt au hour elapsed before the bodies were recovered, life in each was of course extinct. —Newcastle Journal.
