He is de sirous of having it well understood that, although his establishment presents a large and well arranged stock of rich and elegant manu factures, still the ordinary articles of utility may be purchased of bint cheaper than elsewhere. For Instance, the best single-bladed pen• knives at Is. each, are warranted ; good scissors at the same price. Excellent tooth-brushes 6d. each, and the best silver wire ' and solid back at 9d. each. Good plain mahogany writing desks, 12s. each. Work-bores at all prices. Six well-finished table knives and forks tor 6s. Britton is metal tea and coffee-pots, plated on steel, and German silver articles, all reasonable and good. It may be well to state, that there are plenty of persons in the trade who have imitated articles of Mechi's sole invention, without being candid enough to acknowledge it; such as his patent castellated tooth-brushes, his Alechian dressirg case, his magic strop and paste, and so on. Ifeelit thinks it no more than just to remind his cus tomers of this fact, and to guard them against purchasing as his articles purporting to be what they are not. although dearer in price and inferior In quality.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper en Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put sate the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of Ne. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I over was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. (l.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex- perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasare in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops ea the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - orevent it turning grey. rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product et the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ou ehildrea's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' earls, it has such a peculiar cooling influent:4 on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as ptomoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet ef testimonials. rnett ., waned to William Brimstone Ilerbary, Highgate.

All those who have watched the sunrise upon the Alps from some lofty peak, have seen, as I have from Mount Cenis, first the night, the vast night, sad and void, but in which one would say a creation was elaborating itself—then the first ray of light trembling upon the horizon, vague and pale like a timid and uncertain hope ; then the long line of fire cutting the blue heaven, firm and de cided as a premise; and then, as at a given signal, the sea of vapours mounts slowly from the abyss, grey and sombre as doubt, extending itself like a shroud between the earth and the star of day, rising like a bad thought betwixt the world and truth ; to which succeeds the struggle, eminently poetic, between the orb, apparently beamless and lifeless, and the rolling mist, here black as envy, there dull and heavy as senseless ignorance, a biting cold the while encircling you in its serpent like folds, threatening your heart like uncertainty in the hour of trial,—until at last the sun, disengaging him- self from the cloud, reveals himself high in heaven, calm in his glory, and inundates you in the midst of the daz zling snows, with warmth and light. Such is the life of Genius. Envy and persecution ;—but on one side of the tomb, it matters little which, assured triumph.—Joseph Afazzini in the People's Journal.

The race was as fine a one as ever was seen. The course, which was situated near the Croix de Berny, consisted of two small circles, connected together by a long straight piece of country ; the circle next the \sin ning-post was along the side of a hill, and could all be viewed by the spectators. Right in front of the winning post was the brook, the great leap of the day, and after the horses had cleared it they went up the country, rounded the other circle, and came straight home. At starting Matchless took the lead, Gazely second, St. Leger in the ruck behind. At one of the fences in mounting the side of the hill, Switcher refused, but his rider driv ing hi.n at it, forced him through. They then all came down the hill nearly to ge th er , having to clear four or five fences and a wall in their way. Discount was first over the brook, Matchless second, St. Leger third, Switcher's hind legs caught in the bank, but his rider got him up cleverly; Hack and,his rider fell in and lost all chance. They then drove along up to the circle, being for a while lost sight of by the spectators. When .hey appeared again they were nearly all together, and seven of the horses were over the last leap within a few seconds of each other. St. Leger, and Young Lottery, and Discount were all on a line. The two former got a little in advance just at the finish, and finally St. Leger, after whip and spur were plied, won by a neck. It was a quick run race considering the state of the ground, up wards of four miles being done in less than eleven mi nutes. Value of stakes about 30,000 f. The Duke de mours arrived just as the race had concluded. The crowd was immense, and the nuutlfrr of carriages greater than last year. The weather was flue in the morning, and wet during the running The second race was about to be run when this re port left the ground. }Ups.

By the projected measure it is also intended to erase the titles of 113 articles from the tariff, that is to say, to permit their entrance free of duty, whatever be the c.;untry or mode of importation; 185 other articles were also freed from prohibition, but conditionally—some whenever they should arrive in French vessels or by land carriage, others if imported exclusively under the French flag. The 4th article of the measure, relating to the com mercial treaty with Russia, runs thus:— " Throughout the duration of the treaty concluded on September 16th, 1846, between France and Russia, all Russian vessels coming loaded directly from Russian ports, or if in ballast, from any port, shall enjoy in all ports belonging to France the same privileges as native vessels, for the importation of all products of the Russian soil or manufactures ; as also for all dues on tonnage, pilotage, harbour, quarantine, and other incidental charges on shipping. Except as regard Russian vessels coming, loaded or in ballast, from the Black Sea or the Sea of Azoff into any port of France." By the 7th article the port of Rouen is included among the harbours selected by the law of February 9th, 1832, as receptacles for prohibited merchandise of every de s cri p tion.— Chronicle.

Hallett's, the bankers to the Western Dispensary, in Charles street, Westminster, and said he regretted to see the charity was so poor, and placing a 501. note on the counter, desired it might be put to their credit, as the donation o f a governor, declining to leave his name. 01 1 4 ak A N Ai! 1 - 17 Ny REMARKABLE FIRE IN SIIOREDITCH.—Last ever ing, shortly before six o'clock, an accident of a very singular character, and which occasioned considerabl , • t•xciteinent in the neighbourhood, took place in High street, Shoreditch, nearly facing the Eastern Co.intie • Railway terminus. It appears that a number of men were engaged in unloading a waggon filled with pun cheons of turpentine. One of the immense casks having been attached to a crane belonging to Mesa's. G4bey and Wells, wholesale oilmen, and had been drawn up some distance, when, by some mishap the head of ilo• puncheon came out, and the whole of its contents ft-I; to the ground. A lad, who was standing by, was in the act of lighting a cigar with a lucifer match, and the vapour of the turps coming in contact with the light, the whole of the 120 gallons of spirits became ignited, _and the flames rose in one immense sheet upwards of twenty feet, setting on tire the shop front and std: doors or the defunct Parcels Post depot. At the same tine the sheet of flame was drawn under the archway the side of Messrs. Gabey's oil stores, and fur some time it was feared that those premises would have been de stroyed. A number of the inhabitants and several of the men employed on the premises rendered essential ::id, and succeeded in getting the fire extinguished, but not until considerable damage was done t.i the premises numbered 223, and the whole of the turpentine de stri)yed. Such was the alarm created in the district, that . messengers were dispatched in all di rec ti ons f or th e i•lignies. Mr. liraidwood, the superintendent' of the brigade, and Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the A section quickly attended with f our e ng i nes , b u t, f or t una t e l y , !heir services were not required. DEftIIUCTIVE FIRE IN THE EDGWARE-ROAD.— Last night, at ten o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in the New Small Debts Court, 112, Edgware-road. The first discovery was made by the police-constable on the beat, who immediately raised an alarm, and sent a messenger for the engines. The two parish engines quickly arrived, and there being an abundant supply of water at hand, no time was lost in setting them at work, but the flames were already issuing through the windows and roof with such fury as to threaten with destruction the whole of the surrounding property. The engines of the brigade, &c., followed, and were set to work from the most commanding positions, but, notwithstanding, the fire continued to burn upwards and downwards, so that it was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the fire men could obtain the mastery ovecr the destructive ele ment. By that period the whole of the upper portion of the building was destroyed, and lower part nearly burnt out. The backs of some of the houses in Cha pel-street are damaged, but fortunately not to any great extent. The premises numbered 111, in the occupancy of Messrs. Hewitt and Co., silk mercers, have also sus tained some damage; and those belonging to Mr. Hedges, harness maker, No. 109. The whole of the parties art. insured in the Union, Phoenix, and County Fire-offices. The origin of the disaster could not be ascertained. It appears, however, that i some workmen had been em ployed during the day n getting the court ready for epenittg on Wednesday next, and it is supposed that they must have left the fires im p ro p erl y extinguished. EASTER TERM EXAMINATION.—The examiners of persons applying to be admitted attorneys have ap. pointed Tuesday, the 27 t h of April, at half-past nine in the forenoon, at the Hall of the Incorporated Law Society in Chancery-lane, to take the examination.

The members and friends of the St. M+ryle:•boone Pro tection Association, to the number of about a hundred, mbled at the Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood, last evening, to colt brace the success with which the local I hjeets of the Association had been pursued, in the re duction of certain burdensome, unnecessary, and, it seems, illegal taxes ; and in the increase, at the same time, of the benefit which the public derived from better paving, lighting, and cleansing on the thoroughfares of the surrounding neighbourhood. Mr. Goslin, the active proprietor of the Eyre Arms, was employed as caterer for the convivialities of the even ing, and judging by what we saw, and heard, and felt, judging by our own satisfaction after dinner, and the expressions which the like feeling drew from the other guests, a better choice could not have been made. The tables were laid out with great good taste, and after wards loaded with what could most agreeably meet a good appetite, and not offend a fastidious taste. In short, the dinner was capital, the wines very good indeed ; the puntuality and attention of the servitors all that could be wished ; and the toastmaster, Mr. Wheeler, will certainly add to his patrons, by the excellent discharge of his office last night. Benjamin B. Cabbell, Esq. was in the chair ; sup ported by W. P. Carter, Esq., barrister ; Charles French, Esq., James Russell, Esq., William Collins, Esq., Jos. Angell, Esq., Alex. Ridgway, Esq., Jos. Haynes, Esq., Captain Sparshott, R.N., Jos. Rawlins, Esq., bar rister, James Rusford, Esq., John Vandal', Esq., and other gentlemen, sat down to dinner with their nume rous friends at half-past six o'clock. After dinner the " Non nobis" was sung with good effect by Messrs. Packingtou and Wild and Master Cook. Then followed the usual toasts— " The Queen."—National anthem. " Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family."—Glee, " Here's a health to the Prince and the Queen." " The Army and Navy."—Duet by Packington and Wild, " Oh give ma the tented field." Responded to by Captain Sparshott. The CHAIRMAN, in giving " Success to the St. Mary lebone Protection Association," said they had now come to the business of the evening for which he therefore begged the attention of the company, for although their meet ing had been of a convivial nature, he might with justice say that conviviality was not the sole object and had not been the sole result. He confessed he gave the toast with a feeling of mingled pleasure and regret — pleasure because they had something as an association worthy to be protected—but of regret because that some thing which they bold worthy was in danger and needed their protection. That was their case then. In a fair country they had equal rights and ought to have equal rates ; they had met and asso ciated themselves to protect these equal rights and to destroy the very appearance of inequality. He said, after the parish of St. Marylebone began to emerge from the condition of a mere rural village an enactment was passed for the lighting, watching, and paving ; but as the suburbs extended it was found that a new rate for these thinly populated parts would be necessary. That was called, levied as a highway rate to the amount of 41. Another Act, however. the 35th of George 111., was pas.,ed, increasing the am-unt of the highway rate to a sum not exceedieg ls. in the pound. lie begged ! h e e ,, m p e ey's attention to the Act. It allewed of no rate exc• eding one shilling, but in case the emergency required, it gave the vestry power to inner rate and accordingly, in 1822, when the rate was 25., the outer, or highway rate, was Is. But the reformed vestr), misint-rpreting the Ace, increased the amount of the imposition ; so that in 1844 while, n ith the go ,d accommodation, the rate in ether parishes w,ts—in St. Pancras, 25. 9d ; in St. James's, 2s. 4A. ; Sr. George's, 2s. 4d. ; Sr. Ann's, 2 , e 4.1. ; in Mar lebone it was 3i. Bd.—(Cries of " Hear.") And the difference between the outer and the inner district rate was only 81. or 9d. In these eireurnsianc, s. when with increased taxes, and when the vestry actually resolved on ex tinguishing every alternate lamp, it was that a number of gentlemen had met in that room and asnociated them solve: to prevent so egregious an injustice. The Chairman proceeded at length to enter into details, and ss i I the result, in the short space of two years, mainly thr..nh the exertions of the gentleman near him, their treasurer, Mr. Freeth, had been that the rate was reduced to its legal bounds of Is. He concluded by giving the toast coupled with the name of Charles Freeth, Esq., which was received with bumpers, and three times three. Song by Mr. Wild—" There's a land that bears a well-known name." Mr. FREETII, who was received with loud cheers, entered at length into the history of their efforts with the vestry, and made several statements relative to the local accommodation of the neighbourhood, which were received with cheers, and on the ground of which he appealed to the gentlemen present to join the associa tion, and aid them to accomplish what was still to be done. He concluded by reading a list of subscriptions to the funds of the association, on which the chairman appe.sred for 5/. ss. and Mr. Frecth 2/. 2s. Mr. RIDGWLY, as a Liberal member of the vestry, and a friend to the objects of the association, was favourably received by the company, who heard him make several explanations, and enforce the main object of the meeting. Both Mr. Ridgeway and the previous speakers alluded to Lord Morpeth's Bill as likely to work a favourable change in the metropolis, and ex pressed their hope that every aid would be rendered to pass it into a law. The other toasts of the evening —" The Chairman," " The Stewards," " The Visitors, " and " The Ladies," were received with all the honours, and followad by ap propriate vocal music. The company at length dispersed in the highest feel ings of satisfaction. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, APRIL 12.—The Black Eagle steam-ves sel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, was taken into the basin at this dockyard to-day to be examined, having gone over one of the buoys in the harbour on returning from her recent voyage to Sheerness with the Hon. H. G. Ward, Secretary to the Admiralty. The Vixen steam-vessel is to be taken out of dock to morrow, having undergone a complete repair and been wholly new coppered on her bottom. The Rifleman and Sharpshooter, the former a wooden host and the latter an iron boat, fitted with screw-pro pellers, were taken into the basin to-day, to be prepared for further experiments to ascertain the best description of screw-propeiler, and the most eligible form of the veAsels fitted with that invention. The Teazer, weolen vessel, and the Minx, iron vessel, are also to be again tried, to ascertain their speed and qu ilities with various forms of screw propellers. The Dwarf had nearly 50 trims with screw-propellers with the object of txscor!aining the best mode in which they en!.f red the water on revolving, and every opportunity will still he atf.intel to test the invention to bring it to the greatest possible per f , Tile Princess Alice, Dover steam packet, Lieutenant Commander Seriven, t.rrived at Woolwich to-day, and was taken into the basin to have some repairs male to the frame of her machinery. The Hydra steam-vessel, Commander Morrell, arrived at Woolwieh yesterday, and will be paid off here. She has been three years and eight months employed on ti e coast of Airity.. The Mastiff surveying-vessel, and her render, the Woodlark, were tak , n oul of the basin yesterday, and it is exp,ct , d they will leave Woolwich on the 25th lost, to re...ufno their surveyii , g dui ies on the coast of the Orkney l'! •14 'i e ls.

The Blenheim, 72 guns, block-ship, fitted with a sc ew propeler, had tn:r steam up to day to try the cor rectness of the fittings of h:-T engines, four of 115 horse power each, constructed on the locomotive principle, with a horizontal stroke, and by that plan so low es to he ten feet ander the water-line. The water was let into the dock opposite the blacksmith's shop, where she is at present, and retained by the eaison after the tide had receded. The funnel of the Blenheim is corktrueted on the telescopic principle, and may be lowered to within six feet of the deck, and the steam-pipe for blowing off the steam may be made level with the deck. Intelligence was received to-day at the Woolwich d , .ekyard of the death of Commander Bremer, R.N., at Edinburgh, son of Commodore Sir J. J. George Bremer, K.C.8., and K.C.H., the superintendent here, who is at present in Devonshire, on leave of absence. MR. GALES SECOND BALLOON ASCENT.--Mr. Gala made his second ascent yesterday, from the ground s of the Rosemary Branch, Peckham. Time assemblyge inside the grounds were fully 5,000, and outside another cypher would not cover the calculation. At a quarter past six the word " Go" was given by Mr. Gale, and he and his fellow-aerial travellers, Messrs. John Ellwood and Geor :e Sharpe , were disengaged, with the machine that carried them, from the cords which held them and it from their upward flight. A temporary excitement, of a most painful kind, wa< created by the appearance of the balloon (shortly after Mr. Gale had descended to the lower car, and discharged his fireworks), by the machine to all appearance losing form, collapsing, and descending with fearful velocity. We are happy to say that this was quickly dispelled by a fast-riding ' y horseman,' on an t'enge-common,n w t h h: returned to the starting plac descent of the aerial voyagers announced the safe furth i e o r i sid L e y s ofP H t E - c L k T h E a ß ni- O T.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester 'visited Her Majesty the Queen Dowager yesterday, at Marl borough House. HAYMARKET THEATRE. ---- - Last night was indeed a triumph for the English drama, and no fitter scene could have been chosen for that triumph tha n the little the a tr e in the Haymarket, where through evil report and through good report the English drama has ever found a h ome . Th e E ng li s h Th a li a h as again returned to the stage. Mrs. Nisbett has returned to us, and appeared last night at the Hay mar k e t f or th e first time these three, years. The play was' thei 'foie Chose, her character, of conrse,, Constance (the charac ter which is par excellence her own). She is looking more fascinating than ever, there is the same clear silvery, most infectious laugh, the same genuine spirit of fun, the same energy, the same via candca, as ever. The house was crowded to the ceiling, and had it been of twice the size, it would not have contained the numbers who had assembled outside the "doors to greet here rent, te upon the scene of her former triumphs. Never was there seen such a reception. The moment her voice was heard behind the scenes the applause began, atA when she appeared the whole house rose and greeted her with clapping of bands and waving of hand kerchiefs, and then, as if to give vent to their enthusiasm, they gave three true British cheers. She acknowledged her reception most cordially—it was the meeting of old ft lends long parted—and when the cheering began she appeared quite overcome, and could scarcely proceed with her part. Never, however, did she act Constance with more spirit; at every scene she was received with renewed applause, and never was applause more richly merited—never did she act Constance better than she did last night. At the fall of the curtain she was called for ; again the house rose at her appearance, the cheer ing was renewed again and again, and amidst showers of bouquets she retired. The other characters were admirably supported, Lut the great feature of the night was the re-appearance of Mrs Nisbett—the reintegration 0!- the entente cordiale between the public and the greatest of comic arti.tes. A.l3y it never again be broken. VICTORIA THEATRE. A new pies •, entitled Jack Long of Texas ; or the Shut in the Eye, was produced at this theatre yesterdly evening. The plot is as follows:—Jack Long (sir. N. T. Hicks) has married M.ry Gibbs (Miss Vincent), aril supplanted Captain Him k (Mr. W. Searle), leader of a band of " Regulators," or soi.disant prairie senate or executive, and who also distinguishes himself as a marksman, by i.hieh he incurs the enmity of Captain flinek, and upon an unfounded accusation of horse steal ing is subjected, and by the aforesaid worthy, to the in fliction of the lash. The inaignity which he has sus ra•ned operates so powerfully upon the mind of Jack Lon; (‘‘ ho is a young hunter from the rocky mountains, who is represented as possesAng all those feelings which are eagendered by a residei,ce amid Alpine scenery), that he becomes insane, and all his mental fa eu.ties become concentrated into a de ,. r?of destroying tee gang by whom he has suffered the ignominious pu nishment. This he effects, his reason is restored, and he is re-united to his bride. These are the materials of the piece, which is skil fully worked up. The language is natural, the imagery such as the wild scenes of the forest (the locale of the piece) would suggest, and devoid of that extravagance, that bizarre hue which too frequently characterises the productions of melodramatic writers for the British stage. Mr. N. T. Hicks represented faithfully the character he personated, and Miss Vincent as the heroine of the piece (Mary Gibbs) gave a per fect impersonation of the female character under the influence of that passion which is woman's destiny—love. The minor characters were well sustained, and the per , formance elicited hearty applause. The piece was an nounced for repetition every evening till further notice, and the announcement was received with stentorian plaudits. MR. WILSON'S FIRST NIGHT IN THE MUSIC HALL. Last night Mr. Wilson gave his first entertainment for the season in the Music Hall, Store-street, where he will be found " at home" every Monday evening during the season. The full attendance with which he was honoured last night, and the hearty reception with which ' he was greeted as soon as he made his appearance, were proofs to him that he had not been forgot during his g wanderings in other lands. We never heard him in finer voice than he displayed last night. He seems in high health and spirits. The programme contained many beautiful songs, some of which he sang for the first time in London. " The Stuarts of Appin" is one of the noblest songs we ever heard, the music being equally effective with the poetry. The burst from the minor into the major in the second strain had a thrilling effect. This song cannot fail to prove a great attraction of itself. Another, which he sang for the first time, was Burn's splendid lyric of " Go, fetch to me a pint of wine." He sang it to a beautiful melody, which suited the song admirably ; and it was honoured with a hearty and unanimous encore. Ho sang very finely the old song, " An those wert my ain thing," which, old though it be, is one of the most elegant melodies that could be listened to. In his humourous songs he was as rich as ever, and caused much exerticn of the risible faculties of his audience. We were glad to see, by his next Mon day's programme, that it is " An Hour wi' Burns," in which, besides singing many of the ploughman Bard's most admired lyrics, he recites so admirably the famous poem of " Tam o' Shanter." If we may judge by last night Wilson's soirees will be as popular thi, season as ever, though he has now entered on his seventh season. CROSBY HALL. Mrs. Butler, the widow of the celebrated tragedian and lecturer, Samuel Butler, gave her second dramatic reading last night at Crosby Hall. The attendance on the occasion was, we were gratified to observe, very nu nierous, and the exertions of the clever elocutionist met with a degree of applause proportionate to their great merit. Her recitations, evidently the result of intense study and passionate attachment to the inspiriting works of our most gifted authors, were characterised by a n,,s of c onception, exquisitely refined judgment, and twantiful delivery, which :anode! inconts.tible el i dwoce that Mrs. Butler is posse's' d of decided genius. tier powers of description and personation are of no or dirtry stamp. end there :s in her intonation an her fro:Alms sequence of melody pculittrly benefiiin her for enlisting the sympathies and admiration of ter patrons. 'I he pr. gramme so judiciously seh ctk.d for last night's entertainment, comprised some of the finest passages trom Shakspere, Hood, Arnold, and Ather stone. Mrs. Butler, too, appeared in the double capacity of au•hures, and elocutionist, introducing an enchant ing, romantic sketch, entitled " The Daughter of Erin," her own composition. Throughout America and the Continent of Europe, where Mrs. Butler frequently and ith creditable success, delineated the conceptions of the tnaster-minds of our admired dramatists and poet-, this unpretending production was greatly admired, and the talented lady last evening enjoyed the additional satis faction of knowing that her literary efforts were fully and " Parrha-dus," where h t D au a d y i s e n o c f e. 1 e . ; l a a m n e u t n s , S " l9 loilouty epresented torturing the 4 r , e n c o D g e n a i t s i e T e b ß e ßritish t a i s s the better to understand th e ostb p ie)u. r ia ' t e Ab D itab e n._ s i c ici r aa i p p nt t i i v o pe n a: o ilnl f teo a rr F dei o sr p p a ins end passions of his Pronietheus, which he was then about to paint, were correctly given.

Most contraltos having sought for many years past to force their voice into soprano notes, operas are no longer written for them, and they find employ. ment but rarely—still is the possession of such voices necessary to the completeness of a troupe. News was received this day that Mdlle. Lind was coming direct by 1 the most rapid conveyance. AMATEUR PERFORMANCE, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. —We understand that her Majesty has retained her box for the amateur performance at the St. James's Theatre on the 27th inst. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, also intend to honour the performance with their presence. WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.--ThiS afternoon, at a quarter before three o'clock, the Queen and the Prince Consort, with the royal children, after a sojourn of twice days only, left Windsor Castle for Bucking ham Palace. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent is daily improving in health, and purposes to remove from Frogmore to Clarence House, St. James's Palace, on Wednesday next. The Queen, it is understood, does not intend returning to Windsor Castle before the Ist of June (A.,cot Races); but it is probable that her Ma j es ty and the Royal Family will pass a week or two at Clare mont previous to the birthday drawing-room._ 0 f Captain Artillo,. ) Tho mas \ Cheltenham, aged 73. officers of the disa,trous camps.
