AlLert honoured this theatre with nun' presence last
night, to witness the performance of Macbeth, in which
the principal characters were, as usual, played by Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Kean and Mr. J. Wailack.
THE SPANISH STEAm•ERIGATE PimAßßo.—An
experimental trip down the river took place yesterday
with this fine vessel, built to order of the Spanish Go-
vernment by Messrs. Wigram and Sons, and fitted with
engines of 350 horse power by Messrs. Miller, Raven-
hill, and Co. On arriving at the measured mile in Long
Reach the time was taken, and the speed of the vessel
ascertained to be 10909 knots against the tide, the time
occupied in running the nautical mile hying 5.30 minutes.
On aga'n tiling her with the tide the speed was found
to be 13.091 knots per hour, the distance being accom-
plished in 4.35 minutes, making an average speed of 12
knots per hour. The vessel is 187 feet long by 30 feet
in breadth, and the depth of the hold 20 feet, and she is
upwards of 500 tons burden, fitted to carry two 68-
pounder guns on traversing platforms, and four 32-
pounder guns on her upper deck. The Pizarro is the
third war-steamer built by the Messrs. Wigram for the
Spanish Government.'
We understand that the beautiful estate of Glen-
ormiston, in Peebles-shire, has been purchased by Wil-
liam Chambers, Esq., of this city, at a shade above
twenty-five thousand pounds, which may be considered
as a moderate price, but not one arguing the prospect of
any considerable decline in the value of land.—Edin-
burgh Advertiser.

GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT
INS'
The asylum for aged governesses, which has recently
been established as a branch of the above institution, in
G,afton•street, Kentish Town, was opened yesterday,
and the event was commemorated by a fancy fair, held
in the grounds of the house. The attendance Was
considerable, and the weather being fine, notwith-
standing the cold and partial cloudiness of the
atmosphere, the festival passed off with considerable
fetal. The tents were pitched on the east side
of the building, forming a sort of open piazza, through
which the company walked, and transacted business
with the fair presidents of the stalls, who conducted
the process of selling their merchandise with a deli-
cate and fascinating skill. The names of the ladies
who thus lent their services as amateur shopkeepers
were recorded over the booths, and among them we
observed Lady Brabszon, Lady Robert Grosvenor,
Lady C. Egerton, Lady Guernsey, Lady Charlotte
Guest, Lady C. Bathurst, Lady tonally, Lady Geor-
gians Fullerton, Viscountess Masareene, Countess Au'
trim, Mrs. J, Bullar, Mrs. Coombes, the Honourable
Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. W. Kinsey, and other kind and
strenuous patrons of the institution. The articles of
sale were, of course, chiefly of drawing-room manu-
facture, laborious teats of Berlin work preponderating
among the prints, trinkets, and ornamental nicknacks
with which the tables were loaded. Tho band of the'
Scotch Fusiliers were in attendance, and
played s
variety of exhilarating airs, aided by the boys of the
Scotch School, who marched in battalions round the
place, and regaled the hearers with pungent tunes on the,
bagpipe.
The arrangements for the fair were admirably planned
and excellently carried out, and reflect the highest credit
on Mr. Thomas Belshaw, of Manchester, to whose judi-
cious superintendence they were confided.'
The asylum was to have been opened by the Duke
ce Cambridge; but his Royal Highness was unfortu-
nately unable, through indisposition, to fulfil his pro-
mise. The ceremony, therefore, was performed by
the committee, followed by a brief address by the
honorary secretary, the Rev. D. Laing. The building
was then thrown open, and the visitors were
allowed to saunter through the rooms during tue
remainder of the day, having every reason to admire
the cornairts which the refuge provides for those
who are unhappily in need of a home and protection.
The a-ylum is a neat structure in the Tudor style, com-
prising some igh.esn or twenty bed-rooms, seven' of
which are furnished ready for occupancy. There is
large dining-room and a drawing-room, and a convenient
basement of household offices. It is purposed, when the
funds of the Asylum are in a sufficiently flourishing eat,
to add a couple of wings, which will not only complete
the architectural design, but multiply the opportunities
of relief. • It is calculated by the architect," „y 3 the
printed statement of the committee, " that 2001. will at
any time secure the addnion of rooms for two more
occupants. The eedowtnent required is 500/., or 151.
per walum, I, gaily and I,ermariently 'secured ; and A
definite oject is thus offered to donors."

FOUNDERING. OF MORE EMI"
GRANT II IL'S.— ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Advices rt ceiv. d yesterday from Quebec state that at
midnight on the 10th of last month, the Maria, from
Limerick, on old vessel, manned by a crew of ten hands,
with 111 passengers, when within fifty miles from br•
Paul's, ran into au iceberg welt terrific force. The
whole
ut her bows were stove in, and the next moment the sea
was rushing into the hold with the violence almost of
cataract. A piercing shriek was heard from below, but
it was only of a few moments' duration, as the ship went
down almost immediat, ly. It was the mate's watch,.
who, with one seaman and a cabin boy, succeeding 111
saving three lives by one of the boats which floated from
the wreck as she foundered. About twenty of the pas'
stingers managed to reach the deck just before she went
down, some of whom jumped on to the ice, while others
clung to the floating spars. Nine only, however,
could be preserved, six men, two women, end
a boy, who had got on" to the ice. Nothing,
was seen of the master or the rest of the crew; they
perished with the remainder of the passengers.
Exposed in the boat to the most inclement weather, the
helpless survivors remained the whole of the fel'.
lowing day.. Eventually, a barque, named the Roslyn
Castle, and the Falcon, a brig, approached, and took
them on board. The poor creatures had suffered severely
from cold,: and their condition was the most heartrend.
ing. Their names are given as follows :—Michael
sack, Joseph Linch, Bridget O'Gorman, spinster, "'-
Conners, William Brew, John Hogan, aed Patrick
M.Toque ; the survivors of the Maria's crew are--
William Collins (mate), John Pickering (seaman), and
Michael '!'ague (cabin-boy), making in all, out of the
one hundred- and twenty-one souls on board, only twelve
say, d. In consequence of the brig Falcon bring short
of water, those who were picked up by her were trans'
ferred on board the Eos'yn Castle, which proceeded
direct to Quebec, and arrived there last Saturday fort-
night.

In addition to the loss of the Maria, the Hannah, an"
other emigrant ship, foundered near the same bearing.
The master ar.d portion of the crew left the ship when
she was fuuttoering with the two I.undred passengers'
many of whom were subsequently rescued, having been
picked up four days aftsr the melancholy event, and had
been landed at Quebec.
