. .ng to peculiar circumstances M. Curioni has
not e.ppeared this year, at the King's Theatre, but the public
W:Ct have an opportunity of appreciating his talents at the con-
ceit, which he has announced to-morrow under distinguished
patronage. It promises, according to the programme, to be
'one of the finest concerts of the season; combining all the
great talent of the Opera House, with the principal attractions
of the musical world out of that establishment.
Mr. Bunn has taken the lease of another leading
London theatre, with the view of uniting it to Drury-lane, and
formang a company by the year.
ROYAL VICTORIA TIIEATRE.—It is said that this
house is likely to fall under the management of Mr. Fitz-
Gibbon, the lessee of the Birmingham Theatre, who is now in
town negotiating to take it for seven years. This property,
in skilful hands, would be rescued from the ruin which threatens
it, And, no doubt, prove as profitable to all parties interested,
as it is capable of administering to the taste and amusement of
all admirers of true dramatic excellence.
Rogers, the poet, we understand, has long been
preparing his " Reminiscences of the Life of the Right Ho-
nourable Charles James Fox," with whom he lived in the

statasJnan, which remains in manuscript, and in the possesssion
of a distinguished nobleman now living.
The shooting for his Majesty's prize at the Archers'
Lodge, Regent's Park, having been postponed on account of

already delivered will be available on that day, but no new
tickets will be issued.

The 'contest for Merionethshire is simply, on the
part of the Reformers, t. breaking ground" for the future.
Tory influence has been predominant for a century past ; the
families of Vaughan and Wynn have long enjoyed an here-
ditary supremacy. The constituency does not, we believe,
exceed 700; and it is probable that the Tories will poll 400
to 200 of the gross number. But the result of the contest
-will be the ultimate emancipation of the county, and though
there is nothing to gain there can be no loss in the liberal
opposition to prevent a Tory from " walking over the course."

Does.--The great number of dogs sego daily in the
streets of the metropolis at once shows the necessity of put-
ting in force those salutary regulations adopted for the safety
of pedestrians, and the suppression of that dreadful malady
bydrephobia. On Friday afternoon, as a little boy, the son
of Poor parents, living in Stanhope-street, was playing in
Lincoln's-inn-fields, a large dog seized him by the leg, and
tore it in'a shocking manner. Some persons attempted to
kill the animal, but it escaped.
The following account of the melancholy fate of
Captain Daniels, and part of the crew of the ship Hercules,
has been received at Hastings, where the_ friends of Captain
D. live. It appears that the ship was on her passage from
Sydney to London. On arriving off the Falkland Islands she
was struck by a tremendous wave, which carried away her
Poop and mizen-mast, and cleared the deck fore and aft,
washing overboard Captain Daniels, the first and second mate,
the surgeon, two passengers, and four seamen, all of whom
perished. By dint of great exertion, the remainder of the
crow got the vessel into Rio Janeiro, where she underwent
repairs.
