DEATHS OF DISTINGUISHED OFFICERS.—We have to

roofe, Col. Plenderleath. C. 8., and Col. J. Murton,
C. 8., all old and distinguished men, of a class now fast

BENEDICT. This distinguished composer, having
recently superintended the production of his Crusaders
at Munich, under the title of .Der Alte von Berge, the
first representation of which, we read in the German
papers, met with decided success, is on his way to Lon•
don. He conducts the next concert of the Harmonic

Union at Exeter Hall.
HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' PROVIDENT INSTITU-
TION.. —A ball in connection with this very valuable society
is to be given at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, (to-morrow)
Tuesday evening, when it is to be hoped a large number
of its friends and supporters will attend. The object of
the parties who have got the thing up, is not so much
gain as to make the institution more generally known,
and to induce a greater number of persons to become
members. Unfortunately, the society has lacked what
could be called an adequate amount of support from the
class to whom it addresses itself, and has consequently
been considerably cramped in its operations—the sums
awarded to necessitous and aged members and their
widows, being in most cases much below what they
would be if the funds were info more prosperous state.
It appears that there is a reluctance on the part of club
servants, cooks, waiters, &c., to join the institution,
though we could scarcely point out any body of indi-
viduals who are more liable to vicissitudes, arising from
ill health and want of employment.
THE Loss OF THE EVA STEAMER.—Upwards of 4001.
has been received towards a fund for rewarding the four
brave fishermen, the crew of the Emerald Isle fishing-
boat, who so gallantly rescued the survivors of the Eva
steamer.
DEPARTURE OF THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The British
and North American Royal mail steam-ship, Asia, Lott
commander, sailed from the Mersey on Saturday morning
for New York, with the usual mails for the United
States and British North American possessions, 56 pas-
sengers, and a large and valuable cargo of merchandise
on freight.
PARIS BUILDING LAND COMPANY.—An undertaking
called the " Paris Building Land Company" has been
formed, with a capital of 108,0001., in 51. shares, of
which 25,0001. is to be subscribed in, London. The
plan consists in the improvement of some neglect-
ed feeshold ground in the Quartier Rollin, by the
construction of three new thoroughfares, and ultimately
of a leather market, supposing a concession be obtained
for that purpose. A dividend of 5 per cent., and the
ultimate repayment of the principal, with 25 per cent.
bonus, is collaterally secured by additional mortgages

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The fourteenth
public
rightsaturd ay of
, cthhoei
tohn
inst.,the
offices, 33,
Norfolk-street, Strand, in the presence of a
large assemblage of shareholders.
The Rev. Dr. Wor-
thington was iu the chair, supported by Mr. Cribb, and
members of the executive committee. The secretary
announced that shares up to 8,396 inclusive had been
taken, representing a subscribed capital of _418,800/.
from the 7th of September, 1852, to the 14th of January
1854, in about sixteen months. Mr. Bennett, solicitor,
of Sise-lane, and Mr. Cowling, of Notting-hill, were the
scrutineers. The fortunate members whose numbers
were drawn reside principally in Suffolk, Lancashire,
Cheshire, Middlesex, Surrey, Somersetshire, Warwick-
shire. and Bucks. Fifty shares were added to the order
of rights by seniority, the first 700 numbers in the regis-
ter having now the privilege of
selecting lots on estates.
The fifteenth drawing was announced to commence on
Saturday, Feb. 11, and the rev. chairman added that the
allotment of the valuable Downshire-square estate,
Castle-hill, on the Bath-road, Reading, was fixed for
Wednesday, March 1, an announcement which afforded

such as to deter buyers, and the market is only flat.
Noils and brokes without change. Yarns—There is little
doing except to order, and what is doing in this way is
anything but an average of former years. The com-
parative high prices for full-bred wool renders the
trade discouraging. Pieces.—The recent fire has caused
a large quantity of goods to come into the market on
impair regular busi-
favourable terms, and this tends to
ness. Goods made chiefly of wool leave a miserable re-
turn, in consequence of the high price of
