ThLs Institute founded, and partly supported by subscriptions, and
placed under the supervision of a Committee of Subscribers, offers to
the Industrious classes, IN ALL CASES, THE GRATUITOUS
ADVICE of an able and experienced Surgeon, and, in some cases,
Medicines also free of expense. The guarantees for uniform, humane,
and skilful treatment, which such an Institute affords, will, it is
hoped, induce the afflicted humbler classes to seek its aid, *lnd
thereby avoid the waste of pecuniary means, and the risk to life
they are sure to incur, by app'ying for surgical. or medical, relief to
ignorant and unprincipled quacks, and nostrum•vendors.

pAßlss' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy-
sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come In direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered under the term of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of
consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad-
vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

SHOCKING EFFECT OF FRIGUT.—A few weeks
ago, a young woman, seventeen years of age, living with
Mr. John Sadler, farmer, South Kilvington, near Thirok,
was terribly frightened, whilst going to milk, by a servant
boy of the farm presenting himself before her enveloped in a
white sheet. From the effects of this she recovered. A
fortnight ago, a broom was set up, wrapped with straw, and
covered with a sheet. This was too much lbr the poor girl
to witness. The sight, at night, was so alarming, that the
poor creature is now, and has been ever since, bereft of rea-
son. This dangerous practice has often resulted in the same
way, and holds out a fearful warning against such an idle
and insane practice.—Leeds Times. .

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—An example very worthy
of following has been set on foot by the proprietor of the
Boyd Amphitheatre, Mr. W. Batty, who, on Thursday
next, by the aid of a committee, will hand over the proceeds
of that night's entertainments for the benefit of the suffering
Irish. Mr. John Cooke, leader of the orchestra, has selected
every Irish air for the occasion, and the dancing under the
direction of Alr.W. Harvey, who will introduce most of the
popular steps of the sister-country. This is only
urinary of the committee's exertions, who, while advocating
the cause of the Irish, are not unmindful of the misery en-
dured by our Scotch and English brethren.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new one-act ballet, entitled The Pretty Sicilian, was
produced here last evening, for the purpose of introduc-
Inc' Mademoiselle Marietta Baderna, a pupil of M.
Blasis, to the British public. Mademoiselle Baderna
has b:-en the premi?re danseuse at La Scala, for some

time past, and has acquired extensive popularity both
at Milan and at Genoa. She is very young, very pretty,
her bright, sparkling, expressive eye., are beautiful—
exceedingly, and very graceful. Her figure is slight,
but exquisitely formed, and her style is perfectly artisti-
eal, being free from exaggeration and from affectation.
Her poses are most graceful—quite classical in their
elegance,—and her pantomime is expressive. Made
moiselle Baderna has one great advantage over many of
her competitors,—she thoroughly understands the art of
moving the arm in a graceful and elegant manner; of
rounding it, so to speak, and of avoiding the angularity
which too frequently mars the effect of the most expres-
sive pantomime of others. Her pirouettes are exceed-
ingly neat, and it is evident that she thoroughly under-
stands the principles of her art. She is, as we observed
before, very young, and will therefore improve from
year to year for some time to come. She has a
brilliant future before her. She was admirably supported
by M. Croce, also an importation from La Scala. M.
Croce is a very clever dancer, and was much and de-
servedly applauded. The pas de deux in the last scene
between M. Croce and Mdlle. Badetna was perfect. The
audience were rapturous in their applause. The success
of Mdlle. Baderna was complete—as complete as that of
her two fellow pupils, Flora Fabbri and Fuoco, had
been. It is no small credit to M. Blasis to have had
three such pupils under his instructions. The house was
very well attended.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--Early ye-sturtiay morning,.
the Lying-in Hospital at Manchester,sitnated in St. Mary's-
parade, wai discovered to be on fire, and in two hours after-
wards all the rooms, with the exception of the board-room,
were reduced to ashes. The servant-girl was awakened at
five o'clock by a sense of suffocation, and saw at once that
the house was likely to be destroyed by fire. She alarmed
the houae-surg,3on, •Mr. Runcorn, who slept in the upper
etorv, and he started from bed, and tound that front the
progregs of the flames egress by the street-door was impos-
sible:. He immediately tied together two of the sheets oh
his bed, and lowered himself down to one of the short lad-
ders which had been placed under his window by Mr. Hurl.
butt, plumber, and by this means escaped without injury.
Mrs. Horncastle, the matron, with four other women in the
house, behaved with remarkable presence of mind under the
trying circumstances.. The smoke in her room was dense,
almost beyond endurance, and throwing up the lower sash of
her bedroom-window, she instructed her companions to bold
their heads out in the open air to breathe. She then tied
together the sheets of her bed, fastened one end to the lower
part of the bottom sash, and thus urged her alarmed friends
to descend in the way that the house•surgeon had done.

having waited to see all the other women reach the ground
in safety. The flames were not subdued till about eight
o'clock in the morning- The fire, it is thought, originated
in the surgery. The damage sustained will amount to about
2.0001.
