1,.) the BIRTH of SHAKSPE ARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8.. is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,

Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co ,Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs,

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only

THE ARMY.

In consequence of the great demand made on the
War-office for properly qualified instructors for
those corps of Volunteer Engineers recently formed,
as well as those in course of formation, the number
of non-commissioned officers of Royal Engineers
specially qualified to fill those positions has been
considerably exceeded. Orders have accordingly
been received at the headquarters of the Royal En- '
gineer establishment, Chatham, directing a return
to be made of the names and service of those non-
commissioned officers of Royal Engineers who are
desirous of becoming candidates for instructors of
corps of Volunteer Engineers, in order that a selec-
tion of those found meet fitting to fill that post may
be made by the authorities at the War Department.
The non-commissioned officers so nominated will be
released from ordinary duty at headquarters, and
go through a complete course of sapping, mining,
and the various branches of field fortification, includ-
ing the customary drills, in order that they may
become thoroughly proficient in the several duties
which, as instructors, they will be called upon to
perform.

Col. W. R. Nedham, commanding the Royal
Artillery in the Chatham district, completed the
half-yearly inspection of the Ist division of the
Depot Brigade yesterday, in which he 'had been
occupied some days. The inspection, which was of
a very searching character, was brought to a close
yesterday by a parade of the entire Ist division of
the Depot Brigade, when the guns on the fortifica-
tions and the other descriptions of artillery used for
instructional purposes were manned,and the officers
and troops tested in their knowledge of the use and
working of the heavy Armstrong and other guns,
as well as the numerous appliances for the transport
of heavy ordnance of modern and ancient invention.
An experimental 6-pounder rifled gun, on a r",
breech-loading principle, the invention of Mr. Par-
sons, C.E., of Blackheath, which had previously
undergone the
Royal
oAverrsnenmael utnbttt, IVw
test,
o‘ovlaB yesterday
fired at the ien, in the
presence of the full committee of the Arsenal. The
gun fired 20 rounds in rapid succession, the trial
occnryiug only Bmin. 35sec., including the inter-
vals between each discharge. It is understood that
a favourable result will be reported to the Secretary
of State for War, under whose direction the gun
was ordered for trial.

MR. HOWARD GLOVER has nearly completed his
new comic opera—libretto as well 118 11111:;i0-40 be entitled

duced by the Pyne and Harrison company during the ap-
proaching F:eaeon of Laglieh Opera at Covent Garden,

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, 11• G•
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
dailycon presenttl ti o

MARLBOItOUGH-STREET.

THE ORGAN-GRINDING NUISANCE.—Antonio Capatali,
an Italian organ player, from Saffron-hill, was charged be-
fore Mr. Knox with annoying Mr. John Frederick Stan-
ford, barrister, of 7, Langham-place, by playing an organ
in front of his house.

Mr. Stanford said—About half-past five yesterday after-
noon the defendant came and played in front of my house,
7, Langham-place, and as I am much engaged in literary
occupations, I am much annoyed by these men. I requested
the defendant to go away, and after a few minutes he did
so, but came back again and played on the other side of the
house. At last I saw a constable, and thinking I would
make an example of the defendant, I gave him into cus-
tody. The defendant—who I believe understands English
—then became very violent, and got a mob round my door.
I went to the Regent-circus, and obtained another con-
stable, and then the defendant was removed.
Mr. Knox—Defendant, do you understand what has been
said ?

The defendant did not, or pretended not, and Mr, Knox
explained it to him in Italian.
Mr. Stanford--Although I ordered him away he refused
to go.

Mr. Knox—You are engaged in an occupation which
renders silence necessary ?
Mr, Stanford—l am.
Mr. Knox—That is one of the requirements of the act,
which says illness or any reasonable cause.
Collins, 29,5 A—The defendant was given into my custody
for annoying the complainant. He was not playing when
I took him into custody but sitting on his organ. The
defendant was N ery violent.
Mr. Knox—These men are a most abominable nuisance,
I am well aware ; but the question is, whether the defendant
is rightly in custody cr not. Had the man been playing
when the constable came up, he would have been justified
in taking him into custody. The right course for you, Mr.
Stanford, will be to take out a summons against the man
and have him punished that way.
Mr. Stanford—lf the act is strictly carried out, I shall
have no protection whatever, as the moment I go for a con-
stable the men put down their organs and pretend not to
be playing. The men begin at a quarter to nine of a morn-
ing, and continue all day —either at the back or front of
my house, and I am obliged, owing to the irritation it causes
me sometimes, to go out of the house. I am annoyed almost
as much as Mr. Babbage, and to wage war with the men is
almost au impossibility.
Mr. Knox—l am most anxious to relieve you, but I wish
to do so strictly in accordance with law. I will therefore
grant you a summons, and if a:3 man does not appear, a
warrant shall issue.
The aefendant was then dis3barged.

ti construction of ARTIFICIAL TP.ETII has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so ;fable to injury, are always
nsefui, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

unchanged.

DUNDEE, 29th.—There was more animation in the
market to-day than for a few weeks past, and a con
siderable business done in some departments, at an
advance upon last week's prices. Flax, tow, and
codilla continue quiet, as the large public sales of
goods landed, damaged by salt water, fill the hands
of the smaller buyers weekly at present, and keep
them out of the regular market. To day there were
three such sales, at which prices went higher than
before, but is sound goods there is no change.
Jute, especially good to fine, is in good demand,
and some large sales have been made within the last
day or two at improved prices., There is now
little of suitable quality in the market, and it
is held firmly for an advance. The inquiry for yarns

home trade and for shipment, Forfar goods are
much wanted, and so are those made throughout
the district. Dundee fabrics are also in better de-
mand, and the year closes with more activity in
trade here than is usualv witnessed at this season.

LEICESTER, 30th.—The hosiery trade is quite,
and but very little has been doing during the pas,
few day; partly in consequence of the Christmas
holidays. It is also usually a dull season for hosiery
at the end of the year. There is no material change
in wools, the market being quiet, but prices hold-
ing about the same. Yarns continue firm, at
high prices, while spinners do not seem inclined
to materially alter.

NOTTINGHAM, 30th.—There has not been much
doing in the lace trade during the past few days,
the Christmas holidays having interfered with
business in the warehouses. In other respects
there is very little altaration to notice. plain
goods are still a dull sale, in consequence of the
high price manufacturers are compelled to ask for
them. The demand for black silk laces and nar-
row edgings is also slow, while silk mechlins and
quiltings are still in request. Stocks are exceed..
ingly light. In hosiery there has not been much
doing, the holidays :having also impeded business
transactions in this branch of the staple trades,

that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN—

pictures of the drama of real life, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best writers. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these lite pictures will be
rapidly icplace,i by others. The pages of Shakspere and the

The Condemned Convict, Samuel Wright.

The execution of Wright has, we learn, been
postponed to Tuesday, 12th pros. Strenuous efforts
to avert the capital sentence are being made by
working men and others in the Lambeth district.
The all but universal feeling on the subject appears
to be that the very summary course of procedure in
this case was incompatible with a due regard for
that fairness which has hitherto invariably distin-
guished British justice in dealing with offences in-
volving the life of the accused. There is some
reason to believe that Wright intended to apply for
the postponement of his trial; but it is said that he
was overcome and lost his presence of mind at the
last moment. This is not to be wondered at when
the extraordinary haste with which he was called
upon to plead, after being committed by the coroner
and magistrate, are taken into consideration.

A very general opinion appears to prevail that
Wright's sentence will be commuted, arising pro-
bably from the public feeling being favourable to
that course. Wright has himself memorialised Sir
George Grey, setting forth his account of the sad
affair which has placed him in his present awful
position.—Morning ,Paper.
