meneed its season by a Bal Masque on the usual scale
of splendour. In spite of the ungeilial state of the
weather, the compsny was unusually numeroue, and the
proportion of masques as great as we ever remember
having seen it. Tue crowd was of the usual description;
crusaders, Choctaw Indians, Highland chiefs, Spanish
cavalii,ro, flower girls, court dames, and debardours, all
mingled together •on the most amicable footing, and
everything passed off with the greatest order and bile-
frity. Considerable additions and improves:mil:a have
been made in the prdens since last year—the ciacms has
been abolished, and the ring, floored over, forms a large
and elegant ball-room, which for the future will enable
the dancers to set the weather at defiance; two or three
additional supper-rooms have been added, and the lights
and, the music—the two great ingredients in the attrac-
tions of such a place of amusement—are even on a more
liberal scale than ever. We believe Ant, as consider-
able disapppintment was antioipitefl—trom the wet
weather of yesterday, the lessee, Mr. Wardell, has an-
nounced a second Bal Masque for Friday.

MAYNOOTH AND THE COUNT-OUT.
As an impudent attempt has been made by the Go-
vernment journals to saddle the Opposition with the
responsibility of the count-out on the Meynooth-
debate, it may be well to call attention to the &ate of
the case. In the first place, it was at Mr. Gladstone'a
instance that the debate was enabled to come on at all.
Secondly, the debate being adjourned from six o'clock
to eight, it was the business of the Government to
make the House. Canning has defined thtehedsuttiiej
the Secretary of the Treasury to be "to rEmke a
House, keep a House, and cheer the Minister."
Now, riot only did the "Protestant Govern
meet" not make a House (though it ~,,„, --"

and Learned Gentleman was announced
yesterday. It was only on Friday last that
but it is tic applica-

_, .
as engaged in the active prosecution of his pro-
nperinduced the sudden event. On f riday
week the Learned Gentleman was occupied for several hours
in addressing the Committee in one of his usually powerful
appeals, in favour of the proposed line of the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton Railway, from Oxford to Brent-
ford, from the effects of which he felt much prostrated, but
rallied
sufficiently to attend the Committees last week,
though he had discontinued doing so for the last few days.
The Honourable Gentleman, who was in his forty-eighth
year, died at Brighton on Tuesday evening, and Since 1836
was oae of the leading and most affluent members of the bar.
The last brief he held, in the case above, was endorsed with
300 guineas. It is said to be the intention of the Parliamdn-
tary bar to go into mourning for his memory. The mule of
death was ascribed to water on the chest. Mr. Talbot, {l,ao
was called to the bar in 1829, and belonged to the Oxford
circuit, was a bencher of the Middle Temple, Recorder of
Windsor, and Attorney-General to his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, as well as a member of the Council of the
Duchy of Cornwall. He was a son of
the late Earl Talbot,
and brother to the present peer. He married a daughter of

A CLOGS TOWER IN THE CITY.—A very interest-
ing ceremony took place on Tuesday by laying the foun
tion-stone of what is a complete novelty—a clock towers n
the city of London. The site is in the new street from
London-bridge to St. Paul's, and the historical recollections
of the place and its vicinity are unusually interesting.
The site is that on which the old choreof St-
Martin
St. Martin's-lane, formerly stood. ,The church was de-
stroyed during the
,Great Vire of London, but the tower .
was saved, and stood until it was rAntly pulled down
in ccusequerice of the City improvernentr. From the
period at which the church was destroyed a chapel was
erected tor the use of French Protestants, but Divine ser-
vice has not been performed therein tar nearly 40 years.
