MR. BEDFORD, JUN.—Young Bedford the nephew
of the glorious Paul, is, we perceive from the Dublin
journals, winning golden opinions in the Irish metro-
polis, and the opinions of the playgoers of Dublin is an
opinion of great weiht and importance. The Dublin
Theatre has always been the feeder of London; it was
from Dublin that John Kemble came to us, and Dublin
also sent us the most accomplished of actors, Farren. In
speaking of the acting of Mr. Bedford,
.jun. one of the
Dublin journals says, "Bedford as Von ,jun.,
in
' Twould Puzzle a Conjuror, as is his wont, kept the au-
dience in a continued roar of laughter, and as each sen-
tence of the quaintest drollery escaped his lips the re-
peated cheers of his audience announced their apprecia-
tion of his exceeding ability; whilst another of them de-
scribes him as having a istonian and laughter-pro-
voking oddity in the manner he looks around, especially
in his bye-play, that would excite feelings of mirth even
in the most ascetic. We should advise some London
comedians to look out warily lest some day they find
that younger blood and patient industry, combined with
innate talent, should slide the old fellows from the
boards they have lorded it over so long. We hope soon
to see Mr. Bedford on the boards of some metropolitan
theatre.

Zeal without judgment is an evil, though it be zeal
unto good.—Eliza Coole's Journal.
TUE GENERAL LYING-IN LIOSPITAL.—The quar-
terly general court of the governors was held yesterday
at the Hospital, Yolk-road, Lambeth ; Thomas S. Cox,
Esq , jun., in the chair. The balance sheet for the
past three months showed the total receipts to have been
9 if/ Mier defraying all expenses there remained a
sum of 4031. A committee, appointed some time since
to inquire into the " whole affairs of the hospital," now
brought up its report, of which the following are the
principal features. The revenue of 1848 was less than
the expenditure in a sum exceeding. 1001, and the anti-
cipated deficiency for the year 1849 is upwards of 2001.
For the last three years the average number of in-pa-
tients each year was 283—namely, of married women
267, single 16; the averaga number of patients attended
at their own houses in the same period was 448. For tne
thrie years last past the applicants admitted amounted to
849, mid the out patients to 1,344. The average cost for
each in patient (exclusive of rent, &c.) was 21 9s. 6d.
The re port recommended that the number of letters of
recommendation be curtailed, and suggested, as a means
of increasing the funds of the charity, that there should
be an anniversary dinner, and likewise that an occasional
charity sermon should be preached. The report was re-
ceiv‘d, and, in accordance with the rules, was referred
for confirmation to a future court.
TUE KEY. GEORGE WILKIN'S WHEAT.—We
have received from the Rev. G. Wilkins, of Wix, and
have c'eposited in our office, as he requests, for the in-
: pction of agriculturists, a sample of Egyptian wheat
in the ear. To grow it he states he put in only single
grains, and he had root after root of from 20 to 30 full
ears, and some of 35 and more. The Rev. Gentleman
adds—" I am about to put in on my small domain 6i or
7 acres, and I shall put in half that quantity of land with
so many pecks of seed, and I would do the whole so were
I to follow my own inclinations, but according to my
practice I shall put in some thicker, merely to convince
others, were it possible to do so, of the folly of wasting
seed and exhausting the land."—Essex Herald.
FANNY REMBLE.—It is rum6urcd that Mrs. /
Butler is about to marry Theodore Sedg wick, Eq., of
Stockbridge.
