ST. MARY'S HALL, ST. MARY'S-ROAD, CANONBURY,
ISLINGTON.—Last night the re-opening lecture was de-
livered at this eminent institution for ladies by the Rev.
J. F. Denham, rector of St. Mary-le-Strand, &c., on the
practical benefits of the ladies' college system o educa-
tion. Every kind of objection to this mode of female
education was amply considered and refuted, and its es-
sential conduciveness was shown to even the temporal,
as well as intellectual, moral, and religious welfare of its
recipients. The lecture had been printed for the occa-
sion, and was obtainable at the institution.
MONTHLY PAYMENT OF SEAMEN.—At a recent meet-
ing of the Devonport Board of Commissioners, reported
in the Plymouth Journal, Mr. Harris drew the attention
of the board to the evils likely to arise from the new
system of paying the seamen employed in ships abroad
monthly, instead of allowing the arrears to accumulate
and paying off the ship at the end of the commission.
He was quite sure the result of the new system would
be to increase the cost of parochial relief in seaport
towns. Some further remarks were offered on this sub-
ject, and the matter dropped.
GARNETT AND MOSELEY GOLD MINING COMPANY OF
AMERlCA.—Yesterday the ordinary general meeting of
this company (adjourned from September 7) was held at
their office, Cannon-street, City, to receive the report
and accounts, and for general business. The report,
which was agreed to, stated that in addition to the
quartz raised from the mine there was at surf ice up-
wards of 200.000 tons of sand, which produced Bs.
worth of gold per ton ; but Professor Ansted had ex•
tracted gold equal in value to 31. 10s. 6d.. To the 30th
June last, there had been expended in the purchase of
the mines, in money and shares, 27,5001. ; in stock,
plant, machinery, and houses, 5,4541. 9s. lid. ; and in

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—NoRwicH, Thursday.
—The attendance at the morning performances in St.
Andrew's-hall has increased daily during the week.
This morning about 1,100 persons were present to hear
Mendelssohn s Alijah. performed for the second time in
Norwich. The second part consisted principally of
selections from the works of Weber and Sphor. Meyer-
beer's magnificent Marche aux Flambeaux, given for the
first time in Norwich, brought the performances to a
close. At its commencement, however, the audience
rose to leave ; and ere it was finished the hall was
deserted.

ROBBERY OF A JEWELLER'S SHOP AT MANCHESTER.—
A young man, named Charles Wood, was brought be-
fore the city magistrates, at Manchester, yesterday,
charged with being implicated in a robbery of the shop
of Mr. Watson, silversmith and jeweller, Market-street.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning a policeman ob-
served four men loitering about that street, and he and
some other officers went towards them, when the men
ran away. About 20 minutes afterwards the officers
heard a noise in Market-street, and on approaching Mr.
Watson's shop they discovered that the shutters had been
prised open at the bottom. The prisoner, who says be
comes from Sheffield, but is well known to associate
with thieves in Manchester, was remanded till Monday.
A WORD TO THE BIITCHER.—The baker is not the
only man who is indisposed to follow the markets when
there is a fall. The butchers, we are afraid, forget when
the price of beasts is reduced. We find that in Smith.
field butchers' meat has begun to fall as compared with
prices a month ago. If we contrast the tariff at the be-
ginning of August and September, the reduction will be
clearly perceived :
August. September.
Beef
Mutton... 4s. 2d. to ss. 2d.
Lamb ... 4s. Bd. to ss. Ed.
It is high time the price of butchers meat was giving
way ; for, although the traffic in beasts now established
between Scotland and London tends to withdraw the
supplies,
and the high wages enjoyed by so many of our
operatives lead to a greater consumption than usual, and
the two circumstances united tend to raise the price of
the commodity, it is still at a price unnaturally high.—
