7TH MlDDLemax (leumrron) RIMIR. —A very
gratifying musical entertainment was afforded by the band
of this corps to the inhabitants of Islington and friends of
the volunteers' on Tuesday evening. The band met in the
inclosure of Lonsdale-square, to which the public was ad-
mitted by tickets, as also all volunteers in uniform, and the
promenade was exceedingly well attended, all appearing
well pleased at the NOCCOMI attained at this first 'on.
The lady well-wisher of the corps are forming a corn.
mittee to raise subscriptions, in order that these agreeable
promenades may take place weekly during the fine weather.
We think if the above example were followed, where prac-
ticable, the amount of interest taken in the volunteer move.
went would be materially increased.

No. 2 south lode ; ft is 2i feet wide, worth 3 tons of ore, or
30j. per fathom. We have now about 4 fathoms more lode
to take dawn. The lode has been improving fur this last 9
fathoms, and is now best in the preseut end. From pre-
sent appearances it will, in my opinion, improve in valise
the next time it is taken down. The esst is improved,
being now worth 14 ton of ore per fathom."
From Wheal Edward, Captain M. H. East reports (July
10) :—" South lode : In the 81 east the lode is very pro-
mising, producing saving work ; in the 61 east, produces
good stories of ore. The stops in back is worth 24 tons of
ore per fathom, and the rise 3 tons per fathom. In the 60
west of rise it is worth 2i tons of ore per fathom ; in the
61 went, 15'. per fathom ; and in the 50 east it yields a
little copper ore. North lode : In the 52 west it is com-
posed of c.ipel, spar, mundic, and spots of paean and
copper ore.'

NANBION-HOUSE.
All Lint:DINT THIEF.
Eibeardlony, a smartlyslreened, gond.lonking
who described himself as a cigar maker, was charged with
stealing ds. ltd. from the person of Joanna Collins, a young
hely residing at Shepherd's Bush.
The prosecutrix delosisl that she had just ascended the
steps at the other end of London-bridge, when she felt a
tug at her ark emm....equeoce of which she put her hand
into her 'octet, awl found that it had been emptied e(
:is. ltd., while the priolicr, who was the only person near
enough to touch hetet the time, was begimiing to ono away.
She r.tiaekl a ere "f '• Stop thief r and he was soon after
caught by a railVllll4.
Shown, pollee-constable f 174, said he stopped the prisoner,
who loudly proteited that he load robbed no one, but at the
sonic time he pullet Ti, fxl. from his pocket, and said he
was quite willing to give it to the prosecutrix, rather than
get into troubk innocently. Afterwards he tried to drop
the 74. la into her hand, but by the advice of
%vitae., she refused to take it, and the prisoner
wsa conveyed to the station.house, where some other
money was found upon him. When first taken into
custody, he denied the right of witness to apprehend him,
as he said the robbery was committed in the county, and
not in the ('its, anal that therefore be ought to be taken to
Southwark police court, and not to the Manaowhouse,
but as the spot was just within the borders of the City,
witness, of course, paid no heed to hie protest.
The prisoner now strenuously asserted his innocence,
insioting that he was an "industrious young fellow who
earned his hying honestly ." but there was more than a
+ll4plei.ll that be had Lee; at the bar before, and when
toll that if he persisted in his plea he must be committed
for trial, be admitted his guilt, sad was sentenced to be
imprisoned for three months with hard labour.

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL

CAUSES.-MAY 28.

(Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Baron Martin, and Mr.

Justice Wiles.)

The court was occupied all dap with undefended petitions
for dissolution, none of which were of the slightest public
interest.

In the case of " Beesley v. Beesley," a petition fora dis-
solution, pmmnted by a printer in London, for his wife's
adulterv, the court rejected the application on the ground
of insufficiency of evidence.

DECK r. DECK.
The parties were married ►t Norwich in 1843, and they
cohabited till 1848, when they were separated by deed.
Mr. Deck, the respondent, then went to America, and had
since been an analytical chemist in New York, where he
had committed bigamy with a Miss Louisa Halpin.
Kr. O']l►Uey and Mr. D. Keane appeared for the peti-
tioner; but the respondent did not put in an appearance.
Their lordships considered the evidence in support of the
allegation of bigamy was sufficient, but they took time to
consider whether the respondent had not lost his English
domicile, and whether the court had any jurisdiction over
the case.

ST. JAMES'S.

-atste;rptTd and kr s;cftern falled-, -
has one more chance of sweets. M. Adrian Talexy, •
gentleman well known in dramatic circles, has organised a
troupe embodying several of the celebrities of Parisian
theatres, has engaged the St. James's-decidedly the most
appropriate locale for such representations—and last night
eonuesseed • fresh campaign, with every sign of • hopeful
remit. The house has been freehly decorated, and looks airily
pretty,and lest night it eras fully and fashionably attended. The
performance commenced with a little introductory sketch,
• prologue d'onverture called Les Biala de Paris, specially
written for the occasion, which was not particularly witty,
bet served its purpose well enough. Then followed a very
pretty piece, Le Mecca Blanc, by Octave Feuillet, which
bra been recently played in Paris. The plot is simple, but
very nice, the dialogue is sparkling, and the acting excellent.
A husband and wife have been separated for ten years,
though contriving to iahabit the acme house. Jea-
lousy on both sides has caused a quarrel, which
has brought about this result, and neither seem
dimmed to gin way. On their return one night from
• ball they get into conversation ; he taxes her with her
flirtations, she informs him that a lady has been inquiring
his age. The. is • sore point with him, and he retorts
savagely in reminding her of the date of her own birth. In
the coarse of their talk she sees in his head his first grey
hair, and thereupon speaks her hopes; how she had looked
forward to the advent of this epoch in his life as the chance
of reconciliation; how that, the heyday of youth being gone
with both of them, it was fit that they should forget old
jealousies and thenceforth live happily; and how, finally,
she had hampered the lock of his dour with the view of
bring* about this consummation, which it ia needless to
my takes place. The two characters are played with the
most perfect finish and delicacy by Mdlle. Dormer and
M. Paid Devanm and the little piece will doubtlem be-
-03010 a peat favourite in London. The last and longest
piece was one in three acts by M. I.egonve, called Par Irroit
de Conqutte, and tarns upon the rivalry existing between the
roturier and aristocratic clamor, and the method by which
• rich and clever member of the former wine the daugh-
ter of ores of the proudest representatives of the
latter race. It is rather heavy and prolix, and
not entirely suited to English bates. M. Brindeau, of the
7WAtre Franca* who played the hero, has plenty of spirit
sad verve, but he is a little ponderous' both in manner and
figure. N. 'Palely will best snit the wishes of his audience
by playing short sparkling vandeVilles andmodarn comedies
toiesably devoid of sentiment. Among the artists an-'
corned to appear are Mdlle. Adele Pages, Mdme. Dol-
phins Its, and IL Got. With such talent at his command
the &labs MK do wonders, and sustain and improve upon
the capital dart which he made last night.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Thomas Hayward, a respectably-droned young roan,
wee charged with being in possession of Alba, of rice, sup-
posed to be stolen.
Monger (detective) said—About 9 o'clockonSaturday night
I saw the prisoner in a public-home, and be called me a
rogue, saying that I had locked up several of his pals from
the lane—meaning Mincing-lane. At the same time he
held up the parcel which I now produce, and said, " Look
here; this is stolen property; but I defy you to take me to
the station-house." I then took him into custody, and
found the parcel to contain 7lbs. or Albs. of rice, which be
said had been given to him by a man at Gray and Walker's.
He could not give the name of theman, but I have inquired,
and found there is a man working there who did give the
parcel to the prisoner, and I waa told by a clerk that he
would he allowed to do so.

The Lord Mayor—Did he really my it was stolen?
Witness—Yes, my lord.
The Lord Mayor—Well prisoner, how do you account for
making such an au of yourself?
Prisoner—l never said it was stolen, I only said it aune
out of the lane ; and be said directly it was stolen pro-
perty, and took me into custody.
The Lord Mayor And you are sore he said it was stolen
Pr°4lnYtness—Yee ; and I am told that he has threatened to
do for me if he can get me in a dark corner.
The Lord Mayor—Well, I darn say you don't care moth
for that. Has he been bailed or locked up since Saturday
night,

Witnese--Locked up, ruy lord.
The Lord Mayor—Well I think he deserved all the
punishment he has got, but he is discharged now, and in
future I advise him to have a little more discretion.

Eliza Cole, a deTentliireaseil woman, with an infant in
her arms, was charged with being in possession of five silver
watch-csaea, supposed to be stolen.
She was stopped when offering the articles for sale at the
shop of Kr. Sherwood, 121, Bishopagate Without, and ac-
counted for their posses by smarting that she picked
them up in Shoretch, near the Eastern Countiea Railway
station. They were very much battered, with every indi-
cation of wilful destruction, but as a boy, in the service of
a watchmaker, to whom they had been entrusted for deli-
very, admitted that he missed them near the spot indicated,
and that he might have=d them,

with a new ecenedietts in two acts,- on behalf of which we
amok " with the very beet intentions," to quote the cant
*ram of one of its personages, find much to say. A more
shined or an idler ooniuuction of stale incidents and the
cheap second-hand materials of farcical effect, has not very
' often been seen. The plot, if such a confused story can be
so sailed, is indeed KC far original that it is more unnatural
then almost any other stage conception yet represented of
potable events in the London life of the proud day. In
this play, which bears the title of Appearancer, there in •
young fellow, a snob in mind and manners, who, having
had a fortune left him, changes his name of Tommy Puff
for that of Montgomery de Courcy Plantagenet, and pur-
chases an old-fashioned portrait, warranted by the picture.
dealer for • genuine " Holbein," to make believe it is that
of • noble ancestress ci his own family. The portrait has
been seen in the shop by an interesting pair of
young ladies, Mrs. Mewling, a rick widow, sad
her cousin, Mies Cecil's, who recognise it as the
likeness of a deceased female relative, mother to the
second, and aunt to the first. They come to buy it, and
are referred to Mr. Puff, who is coxcomb enough to fancy
they are both in love with him. The mysterious deceased
lady bad also ababy son, who was entrusted to an unprincipled
muse, and 'somehow mislaid " on a doorstep in Docility.
street." A wicked old man, guardian to the two ladies,
who was privy to making away with the infant for the sake
of his inheritance, is led to fear that in gallant Thome Puff
will be discovered the long-lost boy. Hence some tamper-
ing with the dismal old woman, formerly the nurse, and
now the housekeeper, " all unbeknownst," at' Ptdrs lodg.
hip. Two genteeler men, an artist and an accomplished
barrister, enamoured respectively of the two fair cousins,
come in to cross the pretensions of Mr. Montgomery Planta-
genet Puff. It would be tedious to describe the inoonsisteat
and not very intelligible mistakes and accidental detections
that ensue. The upshot of it all is that, by the agency of
May Marigold, • slighted poor cousin ci Tom Puff's, the
mislaid orphan is found in the person of Mr. Vincent, the
deserving young Templar, who obtains Mrs. Mowbray's
band, whilst her cousin makes the artist, Mr. Florid, equally
happy ; and the luckless Puff, having been thrashed, and
snubbed, and bullied in a variety of ways, at last con-
descends to requite May Marigold's affection. The dialogue
is poor, abounding only with tedious repetitions ci the same
verbal blunders and misapplied phrases, with which, how-
ever, the gallery audience was diverted to the end ; and as
the good Vicar of Wakefield remarks, "if there was less
wit, there was all the more laughing." Mr. Clarke, in the
character of Tom Puff, was broadly humored= and funny
enough ; Miss Hutton appeared as the elegant widow. The
author of the piece was called for, and announced to be Mr.
Palgrave Simpson.

CREMORNE-GARDENS._

- - _
This place of amusement possessed an advan-
tage over most of those, the attractions of which demanded
fine weather ; became although open as early as three
o'clock, the principal entertainments do not commence
until about six. By that time, the storms of mingled rain
and wind had abated, and shortly after the evening became
clew and bright though cold. In the result, therefore, a
eonsiderably greater number of persons made their appear-
ance in the pada= than could priori* have been expected,
when the slate of the weather in the former part of the day
was orwslisred. Whit-Moaday is usually the actual and
paddy* sommentelment of the season here, and several
payf men prednoed accordingly. In addition to the
Mum assaw, a assignation which gives a better

DEBTRI7CTIT6 FIRE AT DOCEHEAD, Borrrimaitx.
—The most extensive fire that has taken Oboe in the neigh.
hourhoodof Horselydown and Bermondsey for a considerable
time past broke out yesterday morning between the hours
of 7 and 8 o'clock. The premises in which the disaster
commenced were in the tenure of Mr. A. Mynn, a hop-
merchant, and Mr. W. C. Murrell,a hay and straw merchant,
situate in Butler's-place, Dockhead, llonelydown, and were
of great extent. Some thousand pounds worth of hops
were stored in the warehouses of Mr. Mynn, whilst many
hundred tons weight of hay, clover, and straw stood in the
stores of Mr. Murrell, and to add to the danger, the well.
known distillery belonging to Messrs. Jackson and Co., in
New-street, and the recently erected and spacious i
schools belonging to St. John's, Horeelydown, stood oneltet
side of the ill-fated property. Them buildings, how-
ever, escaped with but little damage. The fire was
discovered by • policeman on duty. A number
of engines were speedily in attendance, and after
several hours' hard labour the firemen succeeded in
getting the mastery over the conflagration, but it was not
entirely extinguished at eight o'clock last evening, although
no further extension of mischief was apprehended. The
total loss will amount to several thousand pounds, and is
thus officially reported by Mr. Braidwood :—" Butler's-
place, Dockhead : Mr. A. Mynn, hop merchant (offices.
Three Crown-square, Borough): upper floor of warehouse,
84 feet long burnt out and roof off ; insured, contents in
the Imperial, and the building in the Union offices. Mr.
W. C. urrell, hay and straw merchant : stables with lofts
over burnt out, and brick and timber buildings 80 feet long
and 60 feet wide, used as stores, with contents, nearly
destroyed; insured in the Union Fire-office ; the work-
men's cottages also partially burnt down. Wm. Jackson
and Co., distillers, in New-street : cart sheds, roof, and
hay stores severely damaged by fire ; insured in the Sun

Pirds.—trtcxis, womms, Bigots.—Bad lens, old wounds, and
sprains, whether recent or chronic, yield with surprising celerity
to the cooling, healing, and curative properties of this Invaluable
Ointment. It may be relied upon In all such cases as have baffled
the skill of our best hospital surgeons no matter the length of
time the malady has endured, the Ointment, assisted by a course
of Holloway's Pills, will quietly but certainly reach the core of
the complaint and thoroughly eradicate It, without additional
impediments to pleasure or business. These remedies will over-
come the worst forms of disease and the foulest state of the
blood: while in glandular swellings, scurvy, and all diseases of
the skin, they are equally irresistible.

YACHTING.

The interval between the two great turf meet-
inp of Epsom and Asoot bids fair to present some first-rate
sport on the Thames, Wednesday and Thursday next
having both been selected for yachting races, the fist-named
for the opening regatta this season of the great Royal
Thames Yacht Club, and the latter for the less but very
flourishing Prince of Wales Yacht Club.
In the Royal Thames Yacht Club the prizes for compe-
tition amount to 1451. amongst three classes. In the
te,iof these the antagonist yachts are the Lady Bird of
1:t
411bridp, from Weymouth, and the Phantom (8.
Lane), and the Thmght (F. 0. Marshall), of Loadca. It
L expected that the race will lay between the
two latter celebrated yachts, which have spin
end again contended with alternate =COM, and
I in consumems of some alterations made in the Thought
Ist year, and her fine sailing in blue water, she is I
epee se the favoariki In the next clam the Kitten of 13
tees (R. Leah), although oppoied by the Oboes (d. D.
Hewett), 10 tom, Laura (Lieut.-Colonel I. Armitage),
110 tons, and Psyche (Colonel B. H. Cumberlege), 20 tone.
has plenty of hackers from her well established &me, but
the other three are all sew boats, and it would therefore
be dangerous to speculate vary heavily upon what may be
the result. In the smelled alms are Capt. D. T. Chambm-
layne's Quiver, from Southeembon • Mr. Blanchanl's Folly,
from Colcheater ; Lord De Roes Vbilet, from Harwich,. W.
L. Parry's Folly, from Southampton (there being two boats
of the mane name in the race) ; and Mr. W. H.
Oade's Rifleman. The Southampton Folly appeared
last year, and is a fine boat ; the other Folly
is new, but the Quiver is decidedly the favourite.
All the boats dart from With, accompanied by the club
steamer the Prince of Wales (Captain Williams), which
leaves London-bridge at 10—the three largest morels turn-
ing at the Nom light, and the others at the Chapman Head,
and the whole fleet finishing the race at Erith.
The Prince of Wales Yacht Club Regatta is with yachts
of two daces—Axed and moveable keel, or centre board
boats as they are termed—for a very handsome silver claret
jeg, vales 2151 presented by Mr. P. Knobbs, the vice-com-
modore, for the fixed keeled brad ; and a piece of plate,
value 101., presented by the sailing committee, for the
sliding keels. The entries are very good, the lid being
Badger's Wildways, 12 tons; Bedded's add's, 8 ; R.
Hewitt's Jessie, t ; J. 8. Adams' Midge, 10; T. Oarr's
=eB; and Lord de Be.'. Violet, 9 ; of which the
'is strongly the favourite. The centre boards are :
Moore's Czarina, 4 tons; Haines's Spray, 6 ; the Hon. J.
F. Stanley's Midge, 4; and d. Hamm's Little Violet, 6 ;
ci which the Spray is the favourite. The club steamer
will accompany the noes, leaving Hungerford at a quarter-
past 9, from Erith to the Chapman Head and back. In
both the Wednesday and Thursday races there is a time
allowance of half a minute per ton.

HEALTH OP LONDON.

The return of births and deaths in London,
Wined by authority of the ReotranOeienal, exhibits a
considerable reduction in the deaths of London for the
week that ended last Saturday. In the previous ins
wean they ranged front about 1,200 to 1,400; they
have now declined to 1,111. In April the mean tem-
perature of the air Pas 42'5 deg. ; in the last fortnight it
has been 51'5 deg., and latterly the south-west has been the
prevailing wind. In the ten yens 1860.59 the avenge
number of deaths in the weeks oorreeponding with last
week woe 1,067 ; but as the deaths in the present return
oceurnd in an increased population they should be com-
pared with the avenge raised proportionally to the increase,
sanely, with 1,174. The moat of the comparison is satis-
factory, for the actual number of deaths was less than the
estimated number by 63. By comparing the tables showing
hint causes in the kw t three weeks it will appear that
seariatina, end hoopiag.cough have decreased, while
measles and typhus have increased. From smallpox the
deaths in successive weeks were 20, 18, 18 ; from scarlatina
there, 25 ; from hooping-congh 58, 53; 42. From roesales
were in the three weeks 3;38. and 53 ; from t7pkue
34, 24, and 34. From measles 3 deaths occurred in et.
Mary, Marylebone ; 3 in St. John, Paddington ; 4 in Bow
3in St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey ; 3 in the west sub-
district of Greenwich. In the prorate week the deaths
from phthios, bronchitis, and pneumonia were reneetively
167, 139, and 59 ; hest week they were 141, 88, and 62.
Three persons died from burns, namely, a female servant,
aged 16 years, whose clothes had caught Sr., the daughter
of a lighterman aged 1 year from the furniture of the room
takinf fire, and a Inman who died in University College
Hospital from buns nosived by some means not demented
