HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A young lady,
whose name was not given in the bills, appeared as Polly,
in The Beggars' Opera, on Saturday night. It was an-
nounced as long ago as April last, that she was about to
come out, and in the interval we understand that she has
been trying her powers in several country theatres. She
had the advantage of being well supported by HORN, as
Captain Macheath, who is at least a good musician, if not
a good singer. The young lady would be an acquisition at
any time, but especially now, when we have so few good
female singers. The house was well filled. the lady well
received, and The Beggars' Opera was given out for re-
petition on Tuesday.

A fisherman of 13osbam, named AYLING, had
a successful shoot of his net on Wednesday. A shoal of
mullet was discovered off Itchenor-park, which boats with
large mullet nets could not surround. AYLING, who had
only a flat fish net on hoard, succeeded in encompassing the
fish, of which he drew nearly 4 cwt. on shore. Three of
these excellent fish weighed 501bs , and he disposed of the
major part of his catch at 10d. per lb.—liants Chronicle.
HORRIBLE CASE OF POISONING...--The
wife of a tradesman residing in Dame-court, in a fit of
temporary insanity, poisoned herself and her two children
on Wednesday. She mired a portion of arsenic in an egg,
of which she induced the poor little innocents to partake,
and also eat some herself. In a very short time after they
were observed to labour under the most agonising pain.,
and on being questioned, the wretched woman acknow-
ledged what she had done. The mother and *hilt', en
were then removed to MERCER'S Hospital, where every
effort to prevent the dreadful effects of the poison proved
unavailing, and after enduring extreme torture, they expired
on Thursday night.—Dublin Morning Register.

The inhabitants of the neighbourhood of
Goodman's-fields were alarmed at three o'clock yesterday
morning by the discovery made by one of the new police-
men that the sugar-house near the corner of Meusell-
street, in Goodman's-yard, lately t►ken by Messrs.
BIRCICETT and MILBOURN, was in flames, and, by the
volumes of smoke which issued immediately afterwards
from every aperture in the building, it was apparent that
the fire had made great progress in the internal part be-
fore its existence was known. The north-western angle
of the building is closely surrounded by small tenement,,
the inmates of which were sleeping, wholly unconscious of
the near approach of danger ; and when access was ob-
tained to the interior, all the lower part in the above direc-
tion was burning furiously, and it was evident that the
safety of the adjoining premises would depend on the party
walls of the sugar-house. Within ten minutes of the dis-
covery of fire, more than fifty policemen were assembled
with their officers, and a large supply of water and many
fire-engines were quickly at hand, owing to the celerity
and promptness of communication made by the police.
The whole of the building in which the fire commenced,
however, is destroyed, together with a large stock of
materials, both raw and manufactured, the house being at
the time in full work.

BEAUTIFUL RAlNBOW.—Between eight and
nine o'clock on Tuesday evening the sky in the south-
east presented a most singular and beautiful aspect. The
day had been cold and stormy, and the appearance we have
noticed seemed a prelude to an extraordinary convulsion of
the elements. For more than half an hour previous to
sunset, a beautiful and fully formed rainbow, or rather a
series of rainbows under one another, extended from side
to side of the visible horizon, brilliant as the colours seen
through a large glass prism. Meantime the clouds above
assumed a dense darkness, and below they were not less
black and lowering. In the centre and near the region of
the rainbow they floated along in a strong current of air,
sometimes presenting a very troubled and lurid appearance,
and again they caught and reflected the bright rays of the
setting sun, flitting over the iris in corruscations, not un-
like those of the aurora-borealis. It was \ sometime after
sunset till this remarkable aspect of the heavens settled
down into sober twilight. During its continuation the
streets and suburbs were crowded with spectators, among
whom terror seemed to be a more prevalent feeling than
admiration.—Perth Courier.—( The singular appear-
ances-described above were visible in Edinburgh at the
same hour.)

INVERNESS SHEEP AND WOOL
Our great annual Tryst commenced this day, but little
business will be done till to-morrow afternoon, or Friday.
Two or three extensive dealers from the south, and two
eminent wool-staplers from Huddersfield, have arrived.
Others are expected to-marrow, but we regret to find that
the attendance will be comparatively small, and the trans-
actions likely to be fewer than usual. The late markets
in the south, particularly those of Appleby and Brechin,
were peculiarly unfavourable for the breeder of sheep.
Worse markets have not occurred for some time. Stag-
shaw.bank fair has been rather better, but still not of a
nature to induce or warrant much speculation, or to secure
a rise in prices. Under these circumstances, we do not
anticipate very extensive sales in sheep, though we hope
Inverness market will, a 3 it has done before, set a good
example, and give an impulse to uur friends in the south.
Wool is expected to improve on last year's prices. This
afternooon about 1,000 stones of Cheviot and cross were
sold. Next week we shall endeavour to give a full and
accurate report of the business of the market.—lnverness
Courier, June 16.

TIAI OF HOLDING THE FAIR.—The
Kelso Mail of last week has the following at tide
appears from the report of the Inverness Sheep and Wool
Fair, that the time of holding it is considered injudicious ;
and, in order to secure the attendance of the English wool-
staplers, a suggestion is thrown out that, in future, the
time should be either immediately before St. Boswell's
fair, July 18th, or after Lockerby fair, 31st July. But in
making a change, the wool growers of the north ought to
bear in mind that though most of the English dealers
attend at St. Boswell's fair, and a good deal of business is
done at it, their attendance in the south of Scotland com-
mences at Yetholm fair on the sth of July, and is next at
Kelso Wool Market on the second Friday of the month—at
one or other of these markets, (usually at the Kelso market)
the business of the season commences, and either directly,
or between and St. Boswell's fair, a vast quantity of wool
is sold—the wool.staplers attending °Oer markets in the
district, in the interval, or visiting the great wool-holders,
with whom they may have formerly dealt. It may, there-
fore, be held as a settled point, that they cannot leave the
south of Scotland during the early part of the month of
July. This we throw out as a useful hint to our friends
in the north."—lnverness Courier.
