If there is any truth in the old suing, that " money mak t
the mare to go," the new lessee of this establishment has a
right to anticipate a brilliant issue to his speculation—the telly
fear we have is that he may test the proverb too liberally. One
thing is certain, he has made a good beginning, by adding 300
sovs. to the Hippodrome Handicap, and bringing together a
better field of horses than we have ever seen in competition for
a race within ten or a dozen miles of the metropolis. This
alone will " tell ;" but, in addition to this, liberal sums were
provided for other prizes, and, to raise the character of the.

after which Dreadnought, who had been in their wake, took up

Currier, Fitzroy lying in the rear. Without any material
change they went on for nearly a mile and a half, when Maroon
took the lead from Dreadnought, arn: at an amended pace kept

OLI V ER C ROM WEL L.—Perhaps in the whole
range of modern annals there is no character or career more
nobly adapted to the purposes of historical fiction than arc those
of the great and self-raised Protector—the Napoleon of the
Commonwealth ; and 'mottling but the extraordinary difficulties
surrounding the task can have hitherto kept it unfulfilled. The
wonderful subtlety of Cromwell's character ( which has kept it
a mystery to this day), and the unrivalled eclat of his career
(not surpassed by that of Napoleon himself), offer scope for one
of the most striking works of its class flat our literature can
boast; and report says that the highest expectations which
the subject can raise will not be disappointed in the forteorning
Romance, entitled "Oliver Cromwell," which the author, with
a rare modesty, chooses to usher into the world under the edi-
torship of Mr. Horace Smith, the distinguished author of
" Bra.mbletye House," &c.

Amber is of such a
Tuft and sticky nature that it is apt to take
fire; and when exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and
will burn away with flame. This statement is further con-
firmed- by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and
Hems, on Chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of
such a material for spectacles to imperfect. vision may be aszer-
Mined at any respectable optician's in London.
PO LYT EC Ii NIC INsTITuTIoN.---The Directors
beg to announce that several interesting novelties have lately
been added to the exhibition, particularly a Coining Press,
which strikes off fifty medals per minute, according to the plan
adopted in the Royal Mint ; and Hall's Hydraulic Belt, by
which a large body of water is raised without the use of pumps.
'These models, with several power and Jacquard Looms, may
daily be seen at work, one of which latter weaves glass thread
with sill;. A separate room contains upwards of 100 beautiful
specimens of Continental Daguerreotypes. Upon the ;DO feet
of water in the great. hall there are numerous vessels of every
description, including some Chinese war junks, and a patent
launching slip, showing how large vessels are launched w her
Majesty's Dock-yards. The Easter attractions are contin?ed es
usual. Open from 10 o'clock in the morning. Admission
