" Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your Eye Snuff. Its action on the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means so cleansed the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his suggest:4on- Thanks to your i nven ti on , t h at ope ration will not be necossary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any,manner you may think best. " I Am ;sir, your obedient servant, " J. B. LACHFIELD. " P.S. Be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, a 4s. 4d. and two 2s. 4d. canisters. You can send the change in the parcel for the enclosed half sove- reign. " J. B. L." G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. This eminent Surgeon and Oculist has attested to the truth of this Letter. Copy of a letter sent to Mr. Grimstone, Jan. 2,1841. " Sir,—Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time, a friend who had received benefit from using your eye snuff recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of two of your 2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has im proved ; the weakness and dimness is removed ; and, sir, it is my wish that you make this known for the good of the public. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry.—(Third Testimony.) " Your's, ' 6 G. " 6, York-place, Kentish Town." Copy of a letter sent to Mr. W. Grimstone, inventor of the celebrated Eye Snuff: _ _ " To W. Grimstone, Esq., Inventor: of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-street "The Marchioness de Broglio Solari presents her best com pliments to Mr. W. Grimstone, and has the pleasure to in form him she has had the most convincing proofs of the be neficial qualities of Ida Herbaceous Eye Snuff; iu many-cases of its restorative power, both of sight and hearing. " Mr. Grimstone—sir, you are at liberty to make use of her name. Sept. 22, 1838. 46. Charlotte-street." Abstract of a Letter from Mrs. L. S. Brewer, Dressmaker. 3, Edge-terrace, Kensington Gravel Pits. " To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye Snuff. " sth December, 1840. " Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many medical gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr. Alexander : indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their skill. ' Physic, bleeding, blistering, with a seaton, and all kinds of lotions, but no relief, till chancing one day being led by your house, in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide inquired if I had tried your Eye Snuff, on which I Purchased a Is. 3d. canister, opened it in the shop, took some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye Snuff cured me. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry. —I am, sir, yours gratefully, " L. S. BREWER." It is supposed that the mines in full work in Spain afford employment to half a million of people,, and to 50,000 beasts of burthen. The present year's revenue from the proceeds of the same, at the rate of five per cent. yields 291,000 dolls. AN AMERICAN AUCTIONEER " GOING" IT. — But this is not the most curious point in an American sale. Instead of a stately "going for one dollar," they use a very quick re iteration—" One dollar, one dollar, one dollar, one dollar, one dollar," about five iterations, in a sort of chant, sung through the nose, making one going, and every going making one thump. Then the cash system, or coinage of the states, affords a grand choice of diction in naming the bids. " Shall I say one pound ? (says the auctioneer in Philadelphia.) Shall I say two dollars?

It is a somewhat remarkable fact, in connection with the subject of his letter, that the Bishop of Chester has only promoted one Irish clergyman in the whole of his extensive diocese. So unscrupulously and perhaps unnecessarily careful is his lordship. The STANDARD is regularly forwarded to the Preston Opera tive Conservative News-room, and we are unable to give any reason why it is not punctually received. Our corre spondent will perhaps be surprised to hear that we some times don't lay our hands upon a newspaper for a week after they are posted. The third letter of " Baptistes" shall appear, if possible, on Tuesday. We have received 10s. for the District Provident Society, and the same sum for the Strangers' Friend Society. In consequence of the great length of the advertisement of subscribers to the Jerusalem Bishopric, we are compelled to forego the insertion of several interesting communica tions. Ebr Ztherpool &tan Darb. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1842 Since the appearance of Sir Howard Douglas amongst us, we are happy to say that he has more than realized all the anticipations which we have held out as to his reception. On the afternoon of Wednesday the gallant candidate made his appearance amongst the merchants on 'Change, and was greeted with the most hearty congratulations. In the evening of the same day he addressed the Protestant operatives of the Park, in Toxteth-hall ; last night he met the burgesses of West Derby Ward; and on both occasions his straight forward profession of Conservative and Protestant principles—of attachment to the monarchy, the esta blished religion, and the constitution of the land — were received with the almost unanimous approval of overflowing auditories. It must have been an object of sincere gratification to that portion of the constituency who have in days past supported the cause of Conservatism in Liver pool, in the person of Sir Howard Douglas, to notice the unimpaired bodily and mental vigour with which he now appears amongst them; after so long an ab sence. In all respects the gallant candidate is, physi cally, as capable at the present moment of performing efficiently the duties of a representative of this great commercial body in Parliament, as at any former pe riod of his life; and we cannot overlook the added experience with which time, the important duties in which, since his firlt appearance in Liverpool, he has been engaged, and the well-known acuteness of his observation of passing events, have matured the judg ment and statesmanlike abilities which he is now pre pared to lay before the acceptance of the constituency of our borough. It is the intention of Sir Howard to visit every ward and explain to the electors his sentiments upon the great questions which at present agitate the public mind, previous to the day of nomination ; and we have no fear that the result will be other than a cordial re cognition of his eminent fitness for the office to which he aspires, on the part of the entire constituency. The burgesses of Liverpool will return to Parliament by their unanimous voice their old and tried champion and by so doing add another to the long list of staunch supporters of the Throne, the Constitution, and the Established Protestant Church of the realm, who rally round that Conservative Government which now, hap pily, holds in its keeping the destinies of this great country. This gratifying assurance is now, indeed, placed be yond the possibility of doubt, if such a feeling could ever have found its way to the mind of any Conserva tive. The dejected and forlorn Radicals of our borough have declared —or, rather, Mr. Thomas Bolton, in their name, and "for his party," has declared—that no opposition to the return of Sir Howard Douglas will even be attempted by them. We accept Mr. Thomas Bolton's heartwrung declaration of the utter prostra tion and lost condition of " his party." Radicalism must be far gone indeed—stone-dead—when it dare not offer one factious kick at its triumphant oppo nent ! We are satisfied of this fact ; but our assu rance is not based upon the mere word of Mr. Thomas Bolton. We cannot take that gentleman as the repre sentative of the defunct thing ; for we have a distinct remembrance that, on a very recent occasion, its car case was galvanised and made a terrific splutter in the world, without either that gentleman or " his party" being very much consulted or having much control over the operation. Messrs. Thomas Bolton and Wil liam Earle may imagine that they are representatives of Radicalism within our borough; but we bear in mind that Sir Joshua Walmsley ° thought otherwise, when that learned and illustrious personage reanimated its cast-off rags, and, at the head of his assembled Pro tectors and Repealers, snapt his fingers at the preten sions of these members of our Whig aristocracy, and obtrudelLhis claims upon that portion of the constitu ency of Liverpool which they fondly deemed their own. Upon such a question as the proposed grant of land to an institution so beneficent in its purposes as the Asylum for the Education and Protection of Female Orphan Children, it might certainly have been antici pated that our Municipal Council would have been able to arrive at a decision, if not unanimous, at least un marked by acrimony of temper and language. There are some minds, however, it would seem, so peculiarly constituted, that they cannot, even to promote the most sacred object and when appealed to by the most ele vated sympathies of our nature, forego the opportunity of displaying the rancorous and bitter feelings which they entertain against the persons, the principles, or the creed of those to whom they are politically op posed. To such men there is no neutral ground which passion cannot enter—no question so hallowed, so di vested of party, as to be unsusceptible of being warped into an occasion for the manifestation of party or sec tarian strife—no time, or place, or circumstance in which the kindliness of humanity is allowed to get the better of the carping spirit of the partizan. Amongst the number of human beings afflicted with this unhappy obduracy of temper, Mr. Thomas Bolton stands conspicuous. In his breast a truculent secta rianism appears to have utterly excluded every amiable feeling of our common _nature; and yet, offensive as are most of his exhibitions, we never remember to have seen that offensiveness so flagrantly manifested and persisted in with more shameless obstinacy than at the Council meeting on Wednesday, with respect to this grant to the Female Orphan Asylum. In ordinary cases it is quite sufficient to draw down the hostility of this acrimonious Socinian upon any institution—that it is conducted upon the principles of the Established Church —that it emanates from or that its benefits are shared, without their principles being compromised or insulted, by members of that church. But that the bereaved and destitute children, for whose protection this benevolent institution has been originated, should be trained exclusively in the faith of the established religion of the realm, is an enormity which Mr. Thomas Bolton cannot tolerate, and which called forth on this occasion an extraordinary measure of his rancorous vulgarity. It is nothing to him that these poor chil dren are without parents, without guardians, or with out friends. The rectors and the clergy of the Church of England in Liverpool must not be permitted to sup ply to them the place of their natural protectors; and this humane and pious personage would rather see those children abandoned to wretchedness and infamy in our streets, than allow the pastors of a church, which is hateful to ;his sectarian spirit, to become the fathers of the fatherless. For the particulars of the proceedings of Mr. Bol ton, in the course which he has thought proper to pur sue at the Council meeting, we must refer to our re port. We are confident that it will excite in the public mind unqualified disgust ; and it is with pleasure that we notice, as contrasted with it, the conduct of the more respectable members of his party. All are not lost to shame—all are not insensible to the claims of decency and humanity as paramount to the indulgence of sectarian spleen, although Mr. Thomas Bolton is so. In particular, we cannot but express our admiration of the sentiments expressed and the course pursued by Mr. James Aikin, which we may safely put forward as a reply to the raving bigotry of the insignificant section of his party from whom he differed upon this occa sion. Why does not Mr. Aikin display more fre quently the same tone and spirit in the Council, as an example to his unreflecting friends around him ? Of course the opposition of Mr. Bolton and his small tail to this grant of the corporation is based, pro fessedly, upon their regard for " Liberty of Consci ence !" Mr. Bolton is afraid lest the education of the desolate orphan children, for whom this institution is designed, if conducted upon Protestant and Church of rngland principles, should jar the feelings of their sur riving dissenting relatives ; and contends that each of these unfortunates should be trained in the particular sectarian views of religion to which their parents be longed, and should attend such place of worship only as their friends—(who are they ?)—maq require. But is that, we ask, the true ground of Mr. Thomas Bol ton's factious fury upon this question ? We unhesi tatingly answer, No. : Mr. Bolton knows that the adoption of such a principle in the Orphan Asylum is utterly impracticable, and would entirely defeat its sa lutary operation. The true ground of this amiable Dissenter's opposition to the grant to this institution is the rancorous hatred which he bears to the Established Church of the realm. The very name of that church or of its clergy is at any time sufficient to work up his meek temper to madness, and render him alike forget ful of decency and of gentlemanly feeling. On the occasion in question it will be seen from our report, that, not satisfied with the display of his cus tomary truculent bitterness against the establishment itself, he did not scruple to direct a volley of coarse detraction against the gentlemen who compose the pre sent finance committee. Baffled in his attempt, as a member of that committee, to bully it into submission to his views, and to thwart its proceedings upon this question by moving amendment after amendment—in a tone of factious insolence which would be disgraceful in any one except himself—he did not scruple to de nounce his colleagues to the Council and the public as men whose actions and motives were devoid of honour and integrity. The castigation which so gross a vio lation of truth and decency drew upon him would, by any other gentleman, be remembered with shame and confusion. We anticipate no such impression, how ever, upon the stolid and obdurate mind of Mr. Bol ton ; and we trust, therefore, that Mr. Aspinall, whose vindication of the character of the Council was, upon this occasion, above all praise, will persist in the course to which, we understand, he has pledged himself; and, at all times, insist upon an adherence to the rules of gentlemanly and decent language on the part of this unruly individual. _ _ We shall not say a word upon the unfortunate exhi bition of Mr. William Earle in this debate. We can only pity the infirmity of temper and obliquity of mind which lead, a gentleman, capable -of far better things, to be content to rest his reputation as a member of the \ I Council u on the facility with which he plays alter nately the ch cter of the mountebank and the frenzied tabby. Poor Aliam Earle ! Although the constituency of Liverpool have forgot ten that Colonel Torrens, ex-M.P. for the radical bo rough of Bolton, is at this moment, unfortunately, both out of place and out of parliament—an uncomfortable predicament for so eminent a patriot—that gallant ofh cer has not omitted to notice that Liverpool is just now unprovided with a representative. Accordingly, in the advertising columns of the London Times of yesterday, the worthy colonel has presented us with a refresher, in the shape of an intimation that he is willing to sup ply our wants in that particillar, provided any set of gentlemen in the borough are prepared with the ne cessary " ready," in sufficient superfluity, to tempt them to embark it for the purpose of securing the be nefit of his valuable services. Many thanks, colonel, for the kind volunteer; but we are provided, you see ; and, as the song says, " 'Tis good to be off with the old love Before we are on with the new !" The long address with which you have favoured us, reads " very trippingly on the tongue," and is " all very fine ;" but conservative Liverpool is not yet re duced to the necessity of putting up with any battered castaway of whiggery, merely because the kennel has been shut against him, the carrion hung up above his reach, and he is ready to worry the patrons at whose heels he was so lately in dutiful and loving attendance, as an obedient, well-fed, and well-bred spaniel ought to be. . Perhaps radicalism might have had something to say to you, good colonel, but for that unfortunate allusion to the money, which is contained in the last paragraph of your address. They could have wallowed your abuse of whiggery and its fraudulent schemes; but unless you can afford to stump up, you are but a lost colonel. The Whig gentlemen of Liverpool won't crack deaf nuts, depend upon it. LOCAL NEWS, Sinn LAUNCII.—On Saturday last a fine ship, of 450 tons burthen, was launched from the building yard of Messrs. Wilson and Co. There was a most sumptuous repast pro vided (at a cost not less than £150), by order of Robert son Gladstone, Esq., and amongst the guests entertained were the Earl and Countess of Sefton, and a large party of fashionables. The vessel was christened by Mrs. Grant, the lady of one of the partners of Gladstone and Co. " The Duke of Wellington." Sr. DAVID'S DAY.—We learn that the natives of the Principality purpose celebrating the anniversary of the Pa tron Saint of Wales, with a due regard to the circumstance of the birth of a Prince of Wales. We understand it is pur posed to hold a ball, in aid of the funds of the Welsh Cha rity Schools, under the same.patronage as on former occa sions; and that a dinner will also take place, at which a nobleman of high estimation, connected with the Principa lity, has been invited to preside. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—In our pub lication of Tuesday week, we gave a paragraph under the above title, detailing particulars of the loss of a boat on the river, opposite the Clarence Dock. It was known that all on board perished, but the names of the unfortunate men were not known. We have since been informed that the sufferers were three, and the following particulars have been transmitted to us respecting them. Robert Wilson, aged 25, was owner of the boat. He resided in Glover street. He has left a wife and one child. Robert Naylor, Henderson-street, assistant, aged 45, has left a wife and five children. Richard Thomas, single man, aged 20, son of Richard Thomas, Fisher-street. The latter is now in the Infirmary. The young man lived with his parents, and was nearly their sole support. The boat was washed on shore near Crosby, the same day, but none of the bodies have yet been found. MEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD POLICE COMMISSION ERs.—The commissioners, under the police act for the regu lation of the affairs of the parish of Birkenhead, held their general monthly meeting on Tuesday, in the Town-hall. Eight commissioners only were present. John Dean Case, Esq., took the chair. The proceedings of the last general and adjourned meetings were read and confirmed, as were those of the Road Committee, the Lighting and Watching Committee, and the Market Committee. In the course of the proceedings of the latter committee being read, it ap peared that, during the New Year and Christmas festivities, the teetotallers of Birkenhead celebrated the occasion by a splendid tea party in the Town-hall, the use of which was granted to them by the Market Committee, in consideration of the sum of twenty shillings. The teetotallers considered this charge somewhat cxhorbitant, and, on their behalf, Mr. Thomas Fry sent a letter to the committee complaining of it, and requesting the charge to be reduced to IN.—Mr. Pim said the charge was too much. Ten shillings was enough.— Mr. haycock thought so too.--Mr. Green expressed a simi lar opinion, and observed that on former occasions the charge had been only IN.—Mr. Jackson said that whatever might have been the old charge, it was evident that the committee had charged the society to at. (Laughter.) With this pun the conversation dropped. On the motion of Mr. Jackson, it was resolved that for the future the treasurer should pay the interest upon all loans when it became due, without waiting for the sanction of the Finance Committee, and the general meeting.—The proceedings then terminated. THE ELECTION.,--The writ, it was expected, would be moved for last night, and the Sheriff's precept will in all probability arrive at the Town-hall, from Preston, this after noon, about four o'clock. In this case the election will take place on Tuesday ; but should the precept not arrive until to-morrow, the election cannot take place before Wednesday.

NEW PATENTS. — In.Newton and Berry's list of New Pa tents, for January, 1842, we find the following have been granted :—Charles Wye Williams, of Liverpool, gent., for certain improvements in the construction of furnaces, and eflecting combustion of the inflammable gases from coal. Sealed 11th January. Six months for enrolment.—Joseph Barnes, of Church, near Accrington, Lancashire, manufac turing chemist, for certain improvements in the working of steam-engines.

Six months for enrolment.—Andrew Kurtz, of Liverpool, manufacturing chemist, for certain improve ments in the manufacture of artificial fuel. • Sealed 27th Jan. Six months for enrolment. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—At a recent meeting of some electors of St. Anne's Ward, Mr. Councillor Parker in the chair, Mr. Councillor Jones presented, on the part of the gentlemen present, a very handsome silver cup, with the fol lowing inscription, to Thomas Holden, Esq. : " Presented to Thomas Holden, Esq., by a few of his conservative friends, as a token of their high esteem for him as an unflinching advocate of our glorious constitution in Church and State, and for his uniform urbanity and benevolence." The cup is of portly dimensions, (containing, when filled, three bottles of wine,) and the allegorical design speaks as highly of the classical taste, as its execution of the artistical skill of the maker, Mr. Doke, of Lord-street. The picture is an in structive allegory of the fruits of patient diligence, and im presses most forcibly on the mind the certain consequences of an early cultivation of habits of industry, namely, the enviable respect of good men, and an honourable station in society. The design represents a sturdy yeoman in the act of ploughing his land; the homestead is seen in the distance, amply replenished with hayrioks and other stores, the pro duce of which is to repay him for many an hour of anxiety and toil. The opposite side of the cup exhibits the well bound teeming shelves o f corn , th e ears lb en di ng d own w i t h their " hundred fold" return, and the whole is surmounted by the jolly god bestriding his favourite cask, and quaffing a brimming bowl to the harvest home. PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—On Tuesday lisst being the anniversary of the opening of the Earl of Seftein Lodge, of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, the members and friends dined together at Westmore's, Great Howard-street. The dinner was served in the usual stile for which the hostess is so famed. After the cloth was drawn the chair was ably filled by C. Denbigh, Esq., the V. G. chair by V. G. Drum mond ; to the right of the chair we noticed the G. M. of the district, Captain Banks, Mr. Whittingham, Mr. Greaves, Mr. Cundliff, N. G. Gillhain, Berryman, and several others. The health of the Queen was drank with enthusiasm. The vice-chairman proposed The Prince of Wales Earl of Chester, and may he walk in the footsteps of his forefathers," and several other toasts were drank with due honours. The chairman then presented a handsome silver cup, manufactured by Mr. Doke of Lord-street, to P. G. John Hogg, and ac companied the gift by a few introductory remarks. P. G. Hogg replied in suitable terms, and after an evening spent in the utmost harmony the company separated. THEATRE-ROYAL.—The entertainments at the Theatre- Royal have been of a varied character. On Monday evening " Hamlet " was performed. It was admirably got up : the scenery new, and very handsome. On Tuesday the " Sol dier's Daughter" was produced. Wednesday, " Othello" ; the following was the cast of the principal characters : Othello, Mr. G. V. Brooke; lago, Mr. Mude; Cassio ' Mr. 801 l ; Roderigo, Mr. Bellingham ; Desdemona Miss Julia Bennett ; Emilia, Miss Cleave r . Of M r. Brooke's Othello we can speak with high commendation. We were greatly pleased with what we saw of his Hamlet on Monday even ing, and have heard that throughout he sustained this most difficult character with taste, judgment, and ability. All these three qualities were strikingly displayed in his Othello. Mr. Brooke possesses a comely person, an intelligent coun tenance, and a remarkably fine deep-toned voice. His per ception of the telling points is very acute, and, without ap pearing to strain for effect, he makes a hit in a manner that occasionally draws forth marked applause. We predict Mr. Brooke will become a great favourite here. There is an energy, a vigour about his delivery, an earnestness in his manner, and a graceful manliness in his deportment, that enlist his auditors in his favour. Without the ranting fits and starts, and unnatural elevations of voice, of the Kean school, he contrives to bring out the fine passages of this great tragedy in a manner that proves him to be an actor of uncommon ability. His address to'the senate was delivered with much earnestness. His scene with lago, where that " honest" gentleman pours into his ear " the leprous dis tilment "of suspicion, was extremely clever. The chamber scene, where he calls Desdemona back at the request of Ludovico, was also beautifully done. The last scene was a fine effort : it was replete with beauties. We must confess we admired the mode in which Mr. Forrest played Othello in this scene : it made a great impression on us. He was discovered at a window, looking at the stars, and brooding over his supposed wrongs. " Tell it not to you, ye chaste stars." We should be glad to see this example followed. Mr. Brooke's attack upon lago in this scene was finely managed. We may say with truth that Mr. Brooke's Othello is worth the notice of every lover of Shakspeare. Miss Bennett is another acquisition. She is a very pretty girl, has a sweet voice, great animation, and an artless simplicity about her, that give an air of truth and reality to whatever she does. Desdemdna's love for Othello was exquisitely exhibited throughout her performance. Her vindication of her truth was beautiful. Miss Cleaver's Emilia has been often wit nessed ; she played with great judgment. Mr. H. Hell's Cassio is also familiar to us. His drunken scene was capi tally played. Mr. Mude, as lago, was occasionally very effective; but he is too sententious to please us altogether. H e i s s powerful auxiliary to the company. The Roderigo of Mr. Bellingham was about one of the worst we ever saw. It was extremely tame. Mr. Brooke was called for at the close of the tragedy. On Monday-erinecv paritondme-ts-to be produced. It has been got up with great splendour. The tricks, transformations, and so forth, are very numerous. The scenery will be all new. The Boleno Family, who are somewhat favourites here, are engaged. LIVER THEATRE.—Mr. Collins, a singer of some merit, and favourably known to the public, has been tolerably at tractive in the character of Paul Clifford, in the drama of that name. Mr. Collins gives us a good idea of a dashing, gay, and polite freebooter, who robs you of yo ur ' money w i t h a grace extraordinaire. His song , " Hurrah for the road," has been encored every night. The other characters in the drama have been ably filled. The farce of " The Nervous Man and the Man of Nerve" has elicited great laughter. Mr. Raymond, as 11P Shane, and Mr. Tilbury, as Aspen, have kept the audiences on the broad grin till sides ached with pain. This farce never has be en b etter done. The travestie on " Norma" is a most ludicrous affair. Mr. Marshall, as Norma, and Mr. Higgie, as Adelgisa, successfully rivalled Mrs. Wood and Miss Poole by their " most sweet voices." This travestie is one of the best in its line that we have seen for a long time. Mrs. Raymond, as Pullin, made a smart little Roman. The style in which she gave the airs, though rendered to absurd words, proved the excellence of her mu sical ability, and only causes regret that she is not oftener heard. The oper a i s closely parodied, but condensed into one act. The rising of the moon, and the offering made to her lunar majesty, and also her rejection of " that same," is a laughable incident. The priestesses are lovely specimens of humanity, and no wonder their charms made impression on their Roman conquerors some of them wanted shaving sadly. AMPHITHEATRE.—The fast-approaching' time for the re moval of the company of the late Mr. Ducrow from this town, renders it advisable to give those who wish to see it before departing a hint to that effect. The spectacle of Cromwell continues attractive ; and whether taken in the whole or in its details, may be looked upon as Mr. Ducrow's chef d'ceuvre. The final tableau certainly is one of the most gorgeous and extraordinary groups we ever witnessed. Those who take a delight in such matters will admit it to be alone worth while visiting the theatre to see. The varieties in the arena are all of an animated and most amusing character. The pantomime we have not been able to see, but report speaks very well of it. This house, as well as the Liver, has been crowded every night. We perceive that this esta blishment will be closed to-morrow night by Mr. Egerton, as a mark, of respect to the late Mr. Ducrow. We notice also that the magnificent spectacle of " St. George and the Dragon" is underlined for Monday night : it will be got up in its originally gorgeous state.—The following anecdote of the late Mr. Ducrow is at once characteristic of the man, and a proof of his good feeling. In his will he has directed that three of his favourite horses shall follow him to the tomb ; and, after the close of the engagements of the present com pany, these, with two others, shall be taken care of until the time of their deaths, annuities being left for their main tenance. MEETING OF THE DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meet ing of the Dock Committee was held yesterday. There were present Messrs. Sands, Horsfall, Holt. Molvneux, Aikin, Ripley, Chilton, Smith, Mellor, Bulky, gvans. Tobin, Shand, Marti n , H o l mes. M r. Bold, the member elected on Monday in the place of Mr. Chapman, resigned, took his seat for the first time. Mr. Sands, the chairman of the committee presided.—On the recommendatio n of the sub-committee of works, the shed on the north west quay of Clarence-dock was ordered to be lengthened at the south end a few yards, and the ends to be boarded up.—The Ma rine Surveyor, through the sub-committee for that depart ment, recommended a new light-ship to be built for the north-west station, in the place of the Meteor; the construc tion of which had been found faulty in several respects. It was intended that the new vessel should be capable of car rying a life boat, for which the Meteor was insufficient. After a short discussion the Marine Surveyor was instructed to report the kind of vessel wanted, and to make an estimate of the expense.—The Marine Surveyor reported that the old Bell Beacon had been upset iu the storm of the 26th instant, and was now unfit for service. A short discussion took place upon the hest means of making the bell ring in times of fog; and eventually it was resolved to issue advertise ments for the best rnodels.—The committee then proceeded to the consideration of the reports of Messrs. Walker and Cubitt, engineers, on the several dock plans submitted to them, during which the reporters were requested to retire. BRITISH SHIPPING.—Mr. Stilceman has published his comparative statement of the number of British ships, with their tonnage, &c., which have entered into and cleared out wards from and to places within the limit s of the East India Company's charter, in the years 1840 an d 1841. From this it appears that the number entered inwards at the port of London, for the year :1840, was 404, w i th 162,633 tonnage, and 9,247'men ; while in 1841 the number was 537, with 216,407 tonnage, and 11,654 men; showing an increase for the latter period of 133 ships, 53,814 tonnage, and 2,437 men. The number entered inwards at Liverpool in 1840 was 143 s hips, 54,279 tonnage, and 2,714 men; while in 1841 the num ber was 188 ships, 79,358 tonnage, 3,465 men ; showing also an increase for the latter period of 45 ships, 23,079 tonnage, and 751 men.
