to a considerable extent under the plentifil supplies of

the other hand, the almost entire disappearance of small-
pox from the city has created a revival cf the demand
for dry and pickled fish, and a fair amouat of business
might have been done in these articles hac receipts been
proportionate to the existing inquiry. The produce

CHRISTMAS REVELS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.---We
are enabled to state that the Christmas revels of the olden
time will be again held at Windsor this year, and with a
novelty which recalls the time of " the great Eliza." Queen
Victoria will open her dramatic campaign with a new
poetical-prose comedy of English life, from the pen of Doug-
las Jerrold. This is a good beginning of the dramatic new
year—with an agreeable smack of old days and of a literary
Court about it. The play will be brought out at the Prin-
cess's Theatre on the night following that on which it is to be
produced before the Queen and Court at Windsor Castle.—
Athenctunt.
BETTING LISTS.---It is reported that a Bill will be
introduced into Parliament, to render it illegal to receive de-
posits at betting-houses.
