" Noon.' Alfred isa pleasing specimen of landscape painting by a member of a very talented family, who has contributed largely to this and former exhibitions: The subject is a lake or pond, over bowered with trees, wearing a rich autumnal tint, and over hung in the back ground with a precipitous hill, which we conceive is a little too -darkly painted for the period— noon—in which we are understood to see it. The water in the pond, in whose cool -depths some oxen and cows are refreshing themselves, is transparent and well painted; the landscape itself is warm in tint, and the foreground especially very clever. 'The cattle, however, are rather so-so productions. 23. " Nottingham. from the Grantham Canal Lock." H. Dawson.—This is a-very clever little picture, and we are glad to observe, is sold.

On more close examination, how ever. the eye was struck by a very clever distance, in which were the grey towers of John o'Gaunt, and the town of 'Lancaster, on the left, and Morecambe.Ba-y and sands stretching ont into a vast expanse on the right. The picture before us is a similar subject :—the same fore ground —a-stone quarry—is introduced, but, with .great judgment; the artist has not given to it so vivid a tone of colouring. A few straggling cottages in the right centre of the picture compose the village of Longridge, and in the distance, indistinctly seen on the far verge of the in tervening landscape, are the spires and chimnies of:Pres ton. 'Altogether, the picture is very clever; and the sky, as usual in Mr. Dawson's compositions, is the concave sky of nature, and not, as with many inferior artists, a mass of blue and cloud plastered perpendicularly against the canvas. ENTERTAINMENT FOR A WET DAY !—A few hours of such a day as yesterday could not be more agreeably spent than at Mr. Colles's apartments in Bold-street, where, seated by a comfortable fire, his visitors are both surprised and amused. Those who desire to obtain one of his dancing-figures should lose no time, as his stock is again very nearly exhausted, owing to the numbers pur chased by passengers sailing in the last American packet as presents for their friends on the other side of the Atlantic. 'The evils of procrastination could not be better exemplified than in the case of a gentleman who had decided upon taking out a number of Mr. C.'s magical novelties ; but on calling some weeks since Mr. C. wasso engaged that he could not attend to him ; he did not renew his visit until late on Friday evening, when, much to his disappointment, Mr. Cellos was from home, (his rooms closing at dusk,) and, as passengers were obliged to be on board at ten on Saturday morning, be was com pelled to sail without the means by which he anticipated enlivening many a winter's evening on his return. CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE.—At a meeting in Manches ter, on Saturday, Mr. Councillor Howard made some im portant remarks. He said that he lately waited on Mr. Hugh Beaver, and ascertained that the quantity of coal formerly used inhis manufactory was 78 tons per week, whilst by the consumption of smoke and the improve ments consequent on the adoption of the system a weekly •saving is effected of 28 tons. " I vitited Messrs. George -Clarke and Sons" , manufactory," continued Mr. Howard, " and they told, me the saving they effected by consuming the smoke from their fires was upwards of 40 tons per week. They formerly used 140 tons per week, now they consume less than 1.00 tons. They have.expended upwards of .X 1,200 on new boilers to their steam-engines, in order to abate the smoke nuisance, and they expect the outlay will be repaid by the saving of coal effected in a year and a-half. 1 asked them," continued Mr. :Howard, "If they, did not thank us for enforcing the system ? the reply was, 'Undoubtedly ; and I wish you would enforce it more-strictly upon ourrneighbours, it would save no trifle as pave beneficial to YESTERDAY SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST CHILDREN.—CharIes Bell and Thomas Makin, two children, respectably dressed, were placed before Mr. Rushton. The parents of the children reside at Field Villa, Bootle, and on Saturday afternoon last they strayed into in which they reside, ar field opposite seven years old, lighted a lucifer match, and in that way set fire to a stack of bay, the property of Mr. Johnson, the lime-burner, of Tlatton-garden. file flames raged with the utmost intensity, and, but for the timely arrival of the fire-brigade on the spot. the entire stack, valued at about £4O, must have been consumed. As it was, by cutting away the burning portion, the damage was limited to probably £lO. Mr. Johnson was present in the court, but bad refrained from making a direct charge against the children. 'Under these circumstances, Mr. Rushton said he could not adjudicate in the case, which appeared to him to 'him to be one of a most serious character. He would, however, direct that the boys be kept in court un til Mr. Johnson should determine on the course he should 'take. The complainant stated that he had repeatedly suffered from trespasses on his field, and attributed the principal blame in the present case to the parents of the two children. Mr. Johnson very considerately refrained from bringing any specific charge forward, and thus pro cured the dismissal of the children upon payment of less than one-third of the actual damage, for the payment of which he has allowed the parents considerable time. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—An Irish fellow, who gave the name of Edward Laney, was observed, on Saturday, to leave the ship Siddons under suspicious circumstances. He was accordingly taken into custody, when three new shirts were found concealed round his person. The fellow had contrived to get on board the ship and lay his hands on the shirts, which were the property of the captain. The prisoner, who has been committed before, was sent to prison again for three months. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—A youth, named William Parr, was committed for trial for robbing his master, a Mr. Erwen, the proprietor' of a spirit vaults in Pitt , street. The prisoner had been about a month in Mr. Erwen's employment, and was suspected by the latter of filching money from the till. On Friday night Mr. Erwen marked several pieces of copper money. On Satur day night the lad was arrested, and on his person several coins which had been marked by his master were found, also in his carpet bag, a part of which also bore his mas ter's mark. leaning of windows, us well HousEaREARING.— On Sunday morning, at an early hour,'lnspector Nl'Donald, while on duty in the neigh bourhood of Scotland-road, apprehended a man named Peter'Hunter, a returned convict, who is suspected of being concerned as a principal in robbing a house in Wel lin.,gton-street, which had been broken into during the night, and a quantity of goods abstracted. A woman, passing by the name of Mary Hunter, was taken with the prisoner. Both were remanded to afford time for an in vestigation into the circumstances of the robbery. • Cunteus ADDRESS.—A few days since a letter passed through the post-office, Tunstall, Staffordshire, with the following unique address : "Thomas B—, Esq., "Immense Contractor " For railways & tetras, " Adam Street No. 7, " or thereabout Near St. Paul's, " Prepaid London." THE IRISH AMERICAN SEA SERPENT.—The Irish seem to be taking the American sea serpent " quite in tirely" out of the hands of the Yankees. It is a difficult labour to imagine an Irish-American sea serpent. The only picture we can draw of him is with a short pipe in his mouth, brandishing a shillelagh with one of his fins, shouting out, " Will any jintlernan just tread upon my tail ?"—.Punch. Westmacott, the sculptor, once undertook to make g king in twenty minutes. The tempered clay was placed before him, and, after cutting off some big slices with a wire, he set to -work with his fingers. In ten minutes royalty began to-shine through the mud.

A STRANGE BEQUEST.—In bridewell died Madame Cresswell, a notorious procnress of the days of Charles the Second. "-She desired by will," says Granger, " to have a sermon preached at her funeral, for which the preacher was to have ten pounds ; but on the express con dition that he was to say nothing but what was well of her. A preacher was with some difficulty found who undertook-the task. lie, after a sermon preached on the general subject of mortality, and the good uses to be made ef it, concluded by -saying ,--" By the will of the deceased it is expected that I should mention her, and say nothing but‘what is well of her. All that I shall say of her, therefore, is this : she was born well, she lived well, and she-died well,—for she was born with the name Cress well, she lived in Clerkenwell, and she died in bridewell.' " --Jesse's London and its Celebrities. SCOTCH PRISONERS AT WORCESTER.—I cannot think that the extract from the acccounts of the churchwardens of St. Margaret's Westminster, at all justifies "C. F. S." in supposing that the Scotch prisoners were massacred in cold blood. The total number of these prisoners was 10,000. Of the 1,200 who were buried, the greater part most probably died of their wounds ; and though this number is large, yet we must bear in mind that in those days the sick sad wounded were not tended with the care and attention which are now displayed in such cases. We learn from the Parliamentary History (xx. 58) that on the 17th of September, 1651, " the Scotch prisoners were brought to London, and marched through the city into Tothill-fields." The same work (xx. 72) states that " Most of the common soldiers were sent to the English plantations ; and 1,500 of them were granted to the Guiney merchants, and sent to work in the gold mines there." Large numbers were also employed in draining the great level of the Fens (Wells, History of the Bed ford Level, i. 228-244). Lord Clarendon (book xiii.) says, " Many perished for want of food, and, being en the public health.' " LIPE BQAT.—A s considerable discussion ,has recently taken place relative to the conduct of some of the life-boat men in -Isoarding a vessel;which was in Jaeger of going to pieces, we think it right to bring before our readers a new description of life-boat, built by Messrs. White r of Cowes, used with .great efficiency at Cardigan and other places, under circumstances of the greatest peril. In these boats the arrangements adopted to insure buoyancy are at the same time conducive to the strength and stability of the boat. The air vessels form a trunk round the inside of the boat, rising -as high as the gunwale, but only extending down on each side as far as the bilge, by which means the centre of buoyancy is kept so high that it is impossible to swamp or capsize the boat ; the.upper part of the air,trunk is rounded inside to permit the boa; to be emptied of water as she roils, And to facilitate the use of the oars ; and the air-trunk is divided by partitions into several watertight compartments, so that no great injury could result from one or-more being stove. Several certificates from experienced .nautical gentlemen have testified to the advantages which these boats possess. They can be used for the ordinary purposes of a ship's boat, when so re ,quired, without any alteration whatever and do not weigh heavier, and can be launched from the ehip's deck without the use of tackle. Under canvas they are remarkably . sthT, quick in stays and easily worked. An experiment has been made with one .of,these boats full of water, when twenty -three men:stood .on'; the gunwale, but with their . united weight they were ;unable to capsize her, or even immerse the gunwale more ,than about four inches, and from :her peculiar internal -shape she cleared herself every roll -until the water was completely below the thwarts. TUE ,VOLISII BALL.—The - Times of yesterday thus concludes a telling article on-this subject charity is determined to dance, if the ivory horn .of ;Oberon has seunded•in her ears, let her remember that the cause of Poland is net the only one that has been gallantly sup ported.; that there are thousands in fthe humbler ranks of this country:to whose valour die owes that preservation which the .Polea, with all their gallantry, were tillable to achieve for their own; and let her remember that ne one ever yet proposed a ball for the benefit of the survivors of Salamanca, Vittoria, and Waterloo—the conquerors of the conquerors of Russia; and if she cannot exercise her function without the assistance of kid gloves and pumps, let her lead up her first dance in Guildhall to the tune of " The British Grenadiers." Surely the period of twenty years, which is long enough to bar the right to an estate, ought to extinguish a claim to charity. The man who in this busy hive of industry can find no employment after such a time is unworthy of compassion. If some statute of limitations do not bar the claims of these long-lived-patriots, we shall be dancing all the year round for the benefit of all the exiles of the earth, from Cain down to Ledru Collin. But, alas ! the maxim Nullum temptia occurrit seems as true of charity as royalty, and we are actually at this moment supporting out of the public funds the descendants Arnold, the American traitor, and pensioning the remote posterity of French Protestants driven to theme 'bogs by kkg frOCII• ON of the Edict a N an t e s, i n 10. chised in little room till they were sold to the plantations for slave-, they died of all diseases.—C. 11.

ACTRESSES RAISED BY MARRIAGE. — The first person among the "gentry" who chose a wife from the stage was Martin Folkyes, the antiquary, a man of fortune, who, about the year 1713, married Lucretia Bradshaw, the re presentative of Farquhar's heroines. The next actress whose husband moved in elevated rank was Anastasia Robinson, the singer. The great Lord Peterborough, the hero of the Spanish war, the friend of Pope and Swift, publicly: acknowledged Anastasia as his countess in 1735. In four years after, the Lady Ilenrietta Herbert, daughter of James first Earl de Waldegrave, and widow of Lord Edward Herbert, bestowed her hand on James Beard, the performer. Subsequently, about the middle of the eighteenth century, Lavinia Bestweek, the original Polly Peachuns, became Duchess of Bolton. The next on record was Miss LinillWs marriage with Sheridan.; and, before the eighteenthcentery closed, Elizabeth barren, a perfect gentlewoman, bccarna countess of the proudest Earl in England, the representative of the Stanleys. She was Lord Derby's second. consort,. and mother of the present Countess of Wilton. AA 1807 the beautiful Miss Searle became the wife of Robert Heathcote, Esq., brother of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Bart..; and in the same year Louisa Brunton was married to the late Earl Craven. Her son is now Earl Craven, and her niece, Mrs. Yates, the actress, still exhibits the dramatic genius of the Brunton family. The " Beggar's Opera" again conferred a coro net.; Mary Catherine Bolton's impersonation of Polk Peachum captivated Lord Thurlow. She was married to his lordship in ISI3. In more recent times, the most fascinating of our &dresses, Miss O'Neill, wedded Sir William Wrixton Beecher, Bart.; Miss Foote, the Earl of Harrington • Miss Stephens, the Earl or EssU and Aim Nisbet, sir Wx. Poatiabb Bart. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT, Monday Night From America there is nothing new. The frost spoken of as haring occurred at Memphis must have been very local, as by accounts from other parts no mention is made of it. The weather was fine, and the estimates of the crap as wide as ever, from one and-a-half million bales to two and-a-half. The receipts were heavier than the previous year, as well as the exports, particularly to this country. To-day the Cotton Market has been steady and the sales reach 5,000 bales at full rates. We have not had quite so much doing in our com mercial markets the last few days, but prices for sugar have been fully supported, the deliveries of which staple article are on a large scale. Tea and Coffee have been in less request, and prices have slightly receded. The political news from the Continent has rather thrown a damper over affairs, and the Funds and Shares have rather gone back. It is thought that Prussia will see the neces sity of assisting in settling the Holstein dispute, and so avert the possibility of a collision with her formidable neighbours. The market for Scotch Pig Iron has been fiat all the week. Some sales have been male at 425. for mixed numbers f. o. b. at Glasgow ; and tha quotation to-day is 42/3 to 42/6 ' • Bars in Wales, £4 10s. to £4 12s. 6d. Our Share Market continued to progress favourably until Thursday, when it received a shock from the Con tinental news. These induced some real and more specu lative sales, which caused a decline of from two to three per cent. generally. The Market today is steady at the lower prices, and has shown during the day some symp toms of reaction. The quoted prices are :—Leeds stock, 48 71 11; Ditto fifths, 71 d.; Ditto Pref., ln ; London stock, 117 ; Ditto quarters, 211 3. p ; Ditto fi 3 6 3 p. ; Midland stock, 42 11; Ditto ht Ives, 211 16/3 ; North Union B, 170 ' • Oswestry, 81; Shrop , hire Union, 3 13 9 d.; Dovers, old, 201; Sheffield, Ro•herhatn, and Goole, par; Newcastle pref., 41 d.; York and North Midland. 221 3k 3 ; Belfast Junction, 271 d.; Midland .Great Western. lit d. The bullion in the Bank of England has again consi derably decreased, but the bank has still above £16,000,000 in its c)ffers. The weekly diminution is probably caused by a continued export to the continent ; but surprise is expressed in some quarters that the re ceipts from California do not exercise more effect on the stock of gold in this country and other parts of the conti nent. The iron trade does not manifest any improvement, and the following report, from the Birmingham Gazette of this morning, - affords a gloomy prospect for the coming winter : "The circu?ar alluded to in our report of the late quarterly meetings, issued by the firm of George Thorneycroft tool Co., the trad last quarter's .11.ur on the faith of the decision at the pre: liminary meeting, consider themselves unfairly treated, and are loud in expressing their 'dissatisfaction.

The terms offered, however, did not, in he opinion of the com missioners, warrant their acceding to the purchase. The report also embodied a recommendation to the commis sioners to apply for a new ferry ; and coupled with it, cer tain amendments of the present act, containing increased powers as to roads, sewerage, gas, water supply, &c. The report was adopted, with the exception of that por tion of it which referred to the applying for power for constructing a new ferry.

SPIDERS A CURE FOR AGUE.—Seeing a note on this subject reminds me that a few years since a lady in the south of Ireland was celebrated far and near amongst her poorer neighbours for the cure of this disorder. Her v versal remedy was a large houie-spider, alive, and enve loped in treacle or preserve. Of course the persons were carefully kept in ignorance of what the wonderful remedy was. Whilst lam on the subject of cures I may as well state, that in parts of the county of Carlow the blood drawn from a black cat's ear, and rubbed upon the part affected, is esteemed a certain cure for St. Anthony's fire. —Notes and Queries: THE MINISTER'S SONG.—Certain Scotchmen at Ar broath once so pestered a reverend doctor for a song that he promised to comply if they would pay him diately sent round his bat.

At a meeting of the members of the Polytechnic Society held last night, in the theatre of the Royal Institution, Mr. Hignett read a paper on the "Uses and Purposes of Prat Charcoal as a Deodoriser, a Fertiliser, and as an Artie', of Fuel." The paper went to show the value - of a patent procured by Mr. Jasper W. Rogers, of London, for the preparation of peat charcoal. This gentleman priposes to work with profit the bogs of Ireland, the superstratum of which has been proved to be an un equalled agent in disinfecting putrid matter of every description, and the substratum equally valuable as a fertilising agent ; add to which, the benefits which must accrue to the sisrer kingdom, from the fact of em. uloyment being provided by this means to a large number of persons at present supported out of the earnings of the employed. The value of Irish bogs would seem to be almost beyond appreciation, for every portion is suscepti ble of profitable application. Amongst other uses a fatty matter which has been obtained in the course of the pro cess has been successfully used as . :. a substitute for tal low in the making of candles.

Jous Ross's EXPEDITION.—The arrival of two carrier pigeons from the Felix, in which Captain Sir John Ross proceeded to the Northern regions, is not credited, and the account given by the Ayr Advertiser of their being first seen tends to throw great doubts of their being any of the pigeons given to the gallant captain before be left Ayr. The Advertiser says the pigeons were first seen at Annarck, some distance from their or:ginal dove cot, anti assigns as a reason that the cot was shut up.. Those acquainted with the character of carrier pigeons feel convinced that they would have continued for days on the top or near the cot where they were formerly reared or kept, and must have been seen by their owner or per sons connected with the piece.
