ESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
11 ~JI, commissioned by the Executors of a Gentleman deceased, to
SUB mil' to PUBLIC COMPETITION, in February next (if not
previously disposed of by Private Treaty),
A First-class Noble MANsIION, in the very choice elevated spot
distin:uish,l as Carlton Rouse-terrace. It is an elegant, command-
ing, and most substantial struc: are, upon a fine elevated terrace,
overlooking the Park, near the ii'ival Palace and Houses of Parlia-
meet. It wens on two sides, with Fouth and east aspects, upon a
broad gravelled raised parterre, enclosed by handsome balustrades,
and is finished with beautiml Corinthian cols/anis and balconies, and
other architectural embellishments. It contains a splendid suite of
lofty reception rooms, libraries, and spacious halls, numerous airy
bed-rooms and dressing-rooms, and offices of every description for a
large establishment, with stone-stair-cases to the top of the house.
The peculiar advantage of this unrivalled situation is, that from hav-
ing no stabling, or any noisy, low, or crowded sireet near it on either
side (to which most of our best squares even are exoosed), it is re-
markably cheerful, and the atmosphere is particularly pure and
healthy. The Stabling (forming a second lot) is in Carlton-mews,
and consists of five stalls, standing for several carriages, with cotch-
man's apartments, and lofts above.
Particulars and cards to view may be had at their Offices, in Wa-
terloo-place, Pall-mall ; also of Messrs. J. P. and IL treshfield, so-
licitors, New Bank-buildings.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
mpposing them married, questionably contented. DlMfence, or a
,erise of right deterruine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
..`.ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
somprosiug harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and juctlcedercand that health shnuld form an item
;n the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
,iegiect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
ihese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered

NA VAL INTELLIGENCE.

-
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Centaur steam,

frigate, Captain C. H. Buckle, fitting for the pendant of
Commodore Fanshawe, C. 8., for the coast of Africa, was
removed from the steam•basin to-day, and docked, to
hale her copper overhauled and cleaned. She slightly
fooled the Superb in towing round, but neither sustained
ma.erial darn,,ge. The collision was caused by the vio-
lence of the wind.

The Champion, 14, Commander J. M. Hayes, sailed
t'rom Valp,raiso for Lima and the coast of Central
America en the 4th of October, in company with an
American corvette, the St. Mary, a beautiful new vessel
of 1,060 toes, earl-) jag 16 lung 32's and four long 68's.
" What do you think of that for a corvette?" parenthe-
tically observes our correspondent. Ou the sth the two
had a capital trial of sailing on a wind, and the Cham-
pion well sustained her name by going well to windward
of her more than double tonnaged and heavily armed
competitor. The Champion could just carry all plain
sail from eight, A M., to nine, going 61, neither ship
gaining or altering her position. She then trimmed by
placing some hands aft, and from that moment the
Champion went to Windward fast ; the wind about
N. by W. At nine, A.M., she bore S.E. S., distant 5
miles. She was laying up W.N.W., going 7i. At noon she
bore S.S.E. 7 miles. In those three hours she had
gone 23 miles, a little more than five points from the
wind, with a long swell, but no sea. At 4 P.3.f. the Cham-
pion bore S. by E. 9 miles; it then fell light and calm,
and as near as could be judged in that trial of eight
hours, the St. Mary forereached on her 1 mile, and the
Champion went 4 miles to windward of her. This was
a signal triumph for the Champion, which is but 456
tons. It speaks well, too, for her form of construction.
She was built in this dockyard in 1824, on the lines of
the late Admiral Hayes, one of whose sons now com-
mands her. The Inconstant, 3G, a frigate unrivalled in
the navy, for symmetrical excellence, fast sailing, and
every good quality, according to the evidence of the
most experienced judges, is also the production of the
late Admiral Hayes; but, strange -to say, they are the
only Champion and Inconstant in the service.

There are no naval arrivals or sailings to-day.
Wind, W. by N.; strong breezes and cloudy.
WooLwlcn, JAN. 10.—The Arrogant steam-frigate,
46 guns, when she went down the river on trial on Mon-
day, brought up for the night in Nob's Channel, and
yesterday mornin7 proceeded for further trial betwixt
the Nore and Mouse Lights, where there is a good depth
of water, and with her auxiliary steam power only at.
tained a speed of 84 knots per hour. The Arrogant
then went on to the Downs, and landed Mr. Trickett,
assistant to the chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard,
and Mr. Stuart, Government pilot at Deal, the latter hav-
ing gone round from Woolwich to assist Mr. Tucker in na-
vigating the vessel. This fine frigate was opposite Deal at
4 o'clock P. M. yesterday, and held on for Portsmouth, the
working of her machinery and the speed she made,
having given the greatest satisfaction to all parties in-
terested in her success. Every word stated with refer-
ence to this vessel during her trial on Monday was given
from personal observation or on unquestionable autho-
rity, and more might have been justly said in her favour
consistently with truth, but her capabilities will be offi-
cially reported, and they cannot fail to be satisfactory
to the authorities and to the Admiralty; and it would
reflect great credit to the country to have several frigates
equally efficient, whoever may design, construct, or fit
the engines.

Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., is absent from the Ad-
miralty at Woodbridge, Suffolk ; and Captain W. A. B.
Hamilton has left town for Brighton for a few days.
We have great pleasure in announcing that the
highly respected Accountant-General of the Navy, J.
T. Briggs, Esq., is recovering from his late severe indis-
position. His progress towards convalescence, however,
is still very slow.

THE JENNY LIND CONCERT, iN
AID OF THE SOUTHERN AND TOXTETII
HOSPITAL.
(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
The career of the " Swedish Nightingale," Jenny
Lind, is the most brilliant of any vocalist on record.
Coming to this country under circumstances which
raised public anticipation to the highest pitch, and hee
vocal abilities having fully sustained the high opinions
previously oxpressed of them, she at once assumed a
position in the musical world which no vocalist ever
before attained in this country. Her services having for
souse time been secured by Mr. Lumley, of her Majesty's
Theatre, she visited most of our principal towns, where
her success was as decided as in the metropolis. At all
times distinguished for her charitable feelings, she has
latterly been giving vent to these by appearing gratui-
tously at concerts for benevolent objects. The committee
of the Liverpool Southern and Toxteth Hospital having
been successful in obtaining her services for a grand
morning dress concert, in aid of the fund for enlarging
that excellent institution, that concert took place on
Saturday last, at the Royal Amphitheatre, the free use
of which was granted by the lessee, Mr. W. R. Copeland,
of whose kindness and attention the committee speak in
the highest terms.
As soon as it was announced that Jenny Lind had
disinterestedly offered Ilex gratuitous services for so
laudable an object, the anxiety to obtain tickets of ads
mission was great. The prices were fixed at a &into.
for boxes and stalls, 10s. 6d. for the lower gallery, and
ss. for the upper gallery. The tickets were speedily
disposed of, and we have heard that as much as two
guineas were offered to secure a place by those who
were too late in making application. The places were
all appropriated by ballot, the only box specially set
apart being that used by Mr. and Mrs. Schwabe, and the
private friends of the charming songstress herself.
The Amphitheatre was decorated for the occasion by
Messrs. Jeffery, Morrish, and Co., Compton House,
Church-street, and the reception and retiring rooms for
Madlle. Lind were also fitted up by that firm with dra-
pery, loungers, mirrors, carpets, and candelabra, in a
style of splendour befitting their well-known taste
and extensive experience. The centre of the
dress boxes was lined with red, handsomely.
festooned on either side of the pillars, and de-
corated with the Royal arms in front. Never
did the theatre present a more brilliant appear
ance. Crowded in every part, boxes, pit, stage, and
galleries, by a fashionable audience, the scene was one
of the most magnificent ever witnessed in this town, and
one that will long remain in the pleasurable recollection
of all who had the good fortune to be present. Amongst
those present were Joseph Brooks• Yates, Esq., the pre-
sident of the Southern and Toxteth Hospital; the Earl
of Sefton, and a distinguished party from Croxteth; the
mayor; the family of the Dean of Chester, and many
distinguished individuals in Cheshire, Lancashire, Shrop-
shire, and Derbyshire. The number present may be
estimated at 2,500; the stage having been adapted to the
receptihn of about 300 late applicants who were glad to
pay 30s. for the accommodation afforded them. The
committee of the hospital, who bore wands and rosettes,
acted as stewards; and while they discharged their duty,
arduous under the circumstances, with considerable
ability, they evinced the utmost politeness in directing
the vast audience to the seats numbered and set apart
for their accommodation. In the centre of the rosettes
worn by the stewards, was a medallion of the fair
songstress.
Madlle. Lind remained, during her stay in Liverpool,
at the Adelphi Hotel. She arrived there from Manches-
ter at ten o'clock on Saturday forenoon, accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Schwabe, and she immediately after pro-
ceeded, in company of the former, to view the interior of
the Amphitheatre, with the decoratienti of which she ex-
pres,,ed herself well pleased. She was waited upon at
the
theAdelphi
committee b y-
of the
M r J. B.
Southern ToxtethE.L
t ham° ll
e
of
Hospital.
She proceeded to the concert at two, and appeared upon
Yates an
andd M
the stage during the whole of her own performances in a
dress of Brussels lace, stomacher set with diamonds,
white satin slip, and her head plainly, yet tastefully,
adorned with a few flowers.
The concert consisted of a miscellaneous selection of
music, principally from Donizetti, Rossini, Meyerbeer,
Weber, and Mozart; and, besides Mademoiselle Lind,
the other vocalists were Madame de Lozano, Signor Bel-
letti, and Senor F. Lablache. Criticism, on such an
occasion, is unnecessary. Suffice it to say, Madlle. Lied
(who was introduced to the audience by Mr. J. B.
Yates, as president of the hospital committee) was in
excellent health, and, in the opinion of those who
have often heard her, she never was in better voice. She
sang seven times, and was thrice encored. The concert
closed with the singing of the National Anthem (Madlle.
Lind singing the solo parts), which, as usual, was re-
ceived with loud demonstrations of applause, the whole
audience standing during its performance; and, at the
close, and as Jenny and the other performers retired
from the stage, nine distinct rounds of cheering, accom-
panied with waving of hats and handkerchiefs, were
given from every part of the house. Thanks are due to
Colonel Garratt and the officers of the 46th Regiment,
by whose kind permission the full band of that regiment
attended and played in admirable style, at the opening
of the first and second parts of the concert, the overtures
of Lucia di Lammermoor and La Fiylia del Regimento.
One of Erard's full horie,qltal grand piano-tortes, from
Mr. James Smith's establishment, in Lord-street, was
used on the occasion, and the gentlemen who presided at
it were Mons. Halle and Mr. J. Robinson.
The exertions of Messrs. Hime and Son, during the
last fortnight, in attending to the orders for tickets, and
devoting their establishment to the business details, de-
serve the warmest acknowledgments.
We are happy to say that, owing to the printed in-
structions issued by Mr. Dowling, and the presence of
a large number of the constabulary in Great Charlotte-
street, the utmost order was preserved in the setting
down and taking up of the large company ; and that,
notwithstanding the crowded state of that street upon
Saturday with vehicles, not the slightest accident oc-
curred. The carriages reached, in setting down the
company, from the Amphitheatre along Groat Char-
lotte-street and up Ranelaghestreet and Renshaw-street.
Business in that neighbourhood was almost suspended
for some hours.
After the concert, Madlle. Lind drove out to West
Dingle, the residence of Mr. J. 13. Yates, where she
was joined by the Mayor, Mr. Bald, the Swedish Consul,
and his lady, Mr. Schwabe and his lady, the Rev. Mr.
Nolan, chaplain, and the treasurer to the hospital, Mr.
B. Platt. The fair songstress had herself requested that
she might not meet a large party, which was, therefore,
limited, we believe, with the above exceptions, to the
family of the host.
Before repairing to the dining-room, Mr. Yates in-
formed Madlle. Lind that the committee of the hospital,
being impressed with a deep sense of the debt of grati-
tude imposed upon them, and of the honour which she
had conferred on the town of Liverpool, had committed
to writing the views and feelings which actuated them on
the occasion. He then produced a parchment seroll,and
requested the worthy chaplain to read the address. The
following is a copy:—

"Liverpool,
Jan. 6, 1849. ,
" We, the president and committee of the Southern
and Toxteth Hospital, at LiVerpool, desire to avail our•
selves of your kind permission thus to testify the deep
respect we entertain for your high character, and the
deserved admiration in which we hold your extraordi-
nary powers..
" It is difficult to do justice to ourown feelings with-
out wounding a sensibility that scarcely responds more
instinctively to the appeals of charity than it subse-
quently shrinks from any acknowledgmekt of the inappr-
tan& boons conferred. Yet it is impossible that -anch
surpassing talents, so benevolently employed, shotild
pass without this humble tribute. of gratitude and praise,
from those who aro lastingly benefited by them. A.
generosity so conspicuous and • disinterested, while it 'is
certainly without precedent or parallel, semis also, We,
fear, too-high for imitation.
"'Upon Liverpool and its vicinity; as upon other towns
in the British empire, you have 'conferred a vast And
permanent obligation. Its blesssing will'be felt, and its
value estimated, by the suffering Children of misfortune,
who, shall, in .future years; be received witeiu the -Walls
of our Southern and Toxteth Hospital, now so largely
extended by your munificence.

In the evening, Madlle:Lind avededherself of the offer
of Mr. Copeland; to set apart a box,for her reeeption, to'

cognised by the audience, w— hcr rose en muse, and
greeted her,with the most enthusiastic Cheering, She gra-
ciously acknowledged the compliment by rising in the
box, waving: her 'handkerchief, Bte. At the conclusion
of the play sho' left her box, and proceeded to the green-'
room, accompanied by Mr. Schwabe, who introducedh
her to Miss Cu shoran, whom she: highly complimented.
Madlle. Lind returned to her hox, and remained dur-
