LE FuLLET.

Often as we have commended the style in which
the plates of thG fashions are executed in Le Fond—
a title by the way of rather questionable delicacy—
we are induced each month to notice them again. In
time Le Follet must supersede all other fashionable
brochures.

SIMMONDS' COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
As the magazine devoted to the record of our
colonial movements, Simmonds' always commands
attention. And, considering that our possessions are
evincing a progressive development—with a compara-
tively few exceptions—the interest of the Colonial
Magazine naturally increases in a relative proportion.

SHARPE'S MODERN MAPS. Parts IV., V., VI.

THE PATRICIAN. Edited by John Burke, Esq.,

Author of the Peerage.
In addition to the usual amount of interesting
genealogical and antiquarian information, which we are
sure to find in the pages of the Patrician, the present
number gives us the family history of some of the
new Members of the new Parliament, from which we
extract the following sketches of Messrs. W. J. Fox
and Feargus O'Connor :
W. J. Fox, the Chartist Member for Oldham, was
born on the Ist March, 1786, in a farm- house near
Wrentham, in Suffolk, and at the age of twelve earned
his livelihood as a weaver boy at Norwich., At fourteen,
the loom was exchanged for the balm desk, gut ill

STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION.
LOSS OF LIFE.
(From the New York Tribune, July 31.)
The steamer Niagara left this city this morning at
half-past six o'clock, and had proceeded on her way
to Albany, near to Sing Sing, when her steam chest
burst, and one of the flues of her boiler, carrying
away the smoke-pipe, barber's shop, firemen's room,
and doing other damage to the vessel, and killing the
two firemen, and scalding, more or less severely, seven
of the passengers.
Captain De Groot, of the Roger Williams, about
two miles behind at the time of the disaster, seeing the
occurrence, came alongside of the Niagara, took off
her passengers, and proceeded with them on her route
to Albany. The steamer Tom Powell towed the
Niagara near the shore, where she anchored.
Five of the scalded passengers embarked on board
the Roger Williams, for Albany ; the other two, a
gentleman and his wife, on their way to Seneca
county to vi.-At their sons, came back to the city in the
Thomas Powell to obtain medical assistance.
The usual verdict will be rendered in this case, we
suppose—" No blame to be attached to the captain or
officers of the boat:'

The Niagara (as we learn from a passenger who
gave us the foregoing particulars) was going at the
rate of 20 miles per hour, with a full head of steam
i on, when the accident occurred. She was, n, other
words, racing with the Roger Williams as her com-
petitor. She had about 200 passengers on board, all
of whose lives were thus trifled with, to gratify the
puerile vanity of the captain or owners.
And, in truth, they may not be solely culpable ;
some of the passengers themselves, in all probability,
are accessories before the act—by their pertinacious
urging of the captain to immoderate speed. It is
hard, however, that the sober-minded and considerate
of the travelling community should have their lives
put in jeopardy through the influence of the reckless
and foolhardy.
P.S.—The two persons who came down in the
Thomas Powell are now at the City Hospital. They
have been examined by Drs. Griscom and Thompson,
and are not considered in danger.
We learn from one of the officers of the boat that
two of the hands were blown overboard, and had not
been found when the Powell left the Niagara.
The Niagara is now lying at Sing Sing. A boat
, has been sent to bring her down.

NEW APPLICATIONS.

Mr. Bodkin appeared in support of an application
made by Mr. Richard Smith for the granting of a
license for the Commercial Tavern, King's-road,
Chelsea. He stated that the house for which Mr.
Smith sought the license was known as the Manor
House Tavern, and was close to the West London
Literary and Scientific Institution, the greater
number of the members of which had attached their
names to a petition in support of Mr. Smith's appli-
cation.

The COURT, after a short consultation, granted the
application.
The next application by Mr. Bodkin was on the
part of Mr. John Dubourgh, for the Hall of Rome,
No. 8, Windmill-street, Haymarket. _

The application was opposed by Mr. Clarkson, on
the part of the rector, the two curates, two out of
four of the overseers, and a majority of the other
parochial authorities; and also on the part of the
trustees of the school attached to the Bavarian
chapel in Warwick-street, the latter of whom stated
that the establishment of a house for music and
dancing, so close to their schools as the Hall of Rome
was, would tend to demoralise the female pupils at-
tending those schools.
After hearing evidence, and the Learned Counsel
on both sides, _ _ _

The COURT refused the application.
The application of David Montague for a music
and dancing license for the Colosseum, Regent's-
park, was refused ; as were those of George Evoke
for the Pied Horse, Chiswell-street ; William Barron,
for the York and Albany, Park-street, Camden-
town ; and John Knight, for the British Queen,

future be dispensed with.
The Court then proceeded with the election for
admission into the school. There were but five
vacancies and ten candidates.

SANDERSON AND CO.

A third meeting of the parties interested in t 1 to
affairs of Sanderson and Co. took place on Tuesday?,
at which it transpired that the bills bearing the re-
sponsibility of the firm which have run off since the
meeting on the 28th ult., have amounted to about.
350,0001., and that these, upon the whole, have been
well met. It will be remembered that, at the date or
suspension, the amount of bills running was.
1,725,0001., a total which has now been reduced to.

about 1,000,000/., and which, before the end of the
year, will be further reduced to 220,000/. The
amount of acceptances held by the house (overdue
and to mature) on firms which have failed since
Messrs. Sanderson's• suspension is stated to be about
28,0001. The following is a minute of the pro-
ceedings :
"At a meeting of the parties interested in the
affairs of Messrs. Sanderson and Co., held at their
office, King 'William-street, London, October 12,
1847, by adjournment frum the 28th of September
last, present, Samuel Jones Loyd, Esq., in the

DEATH OF THIS KING.—The venerable pa-
triarch of the gipsy tribe, Will Faa, died at Kirk-
Yetholm last week in the 96th year of his age. Up to a
very recent period he was in the enjoyment of a hale old
age—pursuing his favourite amusement with the fishing-
rod, and taking long rambles ; but, within_ these few
months back his iron frame indicated quick coming decay.
His death was made the occasion for a gipsy wake, which
consisted of a more than ordinary house among such of
the clan who were in the village and neighbourhood.
Will, held his kingly honours unchallenged for many
years, and was as proud of his pedigree as if ho had had
all the blood of the Howards purpling his veins.—North
British Mail.
SAGACITY or A Doc.—Nine years ago, Mr. Hele,
postmaster of Alphington, trained a dog of the bull
terrier breed, to fetch from the guard of the Bath mail,
as it passed through the village, the bag of letters. On
the guard sounding his horn, the dog would leave the
office and meet the mail, and when the guard dropped
the bag he would bring it safe to the office. From his
sagacity and faithfulness, a collar was given him with
the following inscription :—" Mungo, guard of the Al-
phington mail bag.' Many gentlemen and passengers
have witnessed his performance during eight y ears. On
Tuesday last the mail was taken off the Plymouth road,
but the dog was in waiting fur the bag at the usual
time, but no mail arrived, and he has been apparently
in great distress ever since. He may be seen every day
waiting and walking up and down the road, and will not
leave the accustomed spot. A correspondent says—
"We hope his case will be represented in the proper
quarter, and that he will receive the reward of faithful
service."— Western Times.

The Earl of Dalhousie, the newly appointed
Governor-General of India, will be entertained at a
grand farewell banquet, by the Court of Directors of
the lEast India Company, on the 4th of the ensuing
month. The Duke of Wellington, Lord John Russell,
and other distinguished personages, have been invited on
the occasion.
THE CHOLERA.—The Austrian Lloyds' steamer,
which arrived on the evening of the 21st at Constanti-
nople from Trebizonde, had two eases ofcholera on board;
both proved fatal. It was sent into quarantine for ten
days. No case bad occurred at Constantinople.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

This theatre was last evening crowded to suffoca-
tion to witness the revival of the fine historical play
of Henry VIM, with Macready as Cardinal Wolsey,
and Miss Cushman ai Queen Katherine, and never
have we before seen either of those great artistes to
such advantage as we saw them last evening. The
Cardinal Wolsey of Macready was perfect. Never
has the aristocracy of intellect using the aristocracy
of rank for its own purposes, been more finely
embodied than by Macready in the scenes with
Henry the Eighth in the first act of the play.
And there was a power and a pathos in his outburst
of grief in the celebrated scene with Cromwell that
completely electrified the audience, and secured for
him a well-merited call before the curtain at the con-
clusion of the act. Miss Cushman's Queen Katherine
is certainly the very best thing she has yet done.
Her declamation was beautiful in the first act, where
she pleads for Buckingham, and in the trial scene
she was magnificent. There was a power and a
dignity, conjoined with a pathos in her indignant
protest against having Wolsey for her judge, which
was perfectly thrilling. Admirably was she sup-
ported by Macready in this scene, whose air of quiet
and repose contrasted beautifully with the fearful
energy of the injured Queen. Her dying scene, too,
was beautiful exceedingly; there was an exquisite
pathos in her tones which thrilled to the heart, and
as she died the face was lit up with an un-
earthly smile that passed across the features for
a moment, the lips and hands were slightly moved, as
though unconsciously, and all was over. The exqui-
site air, " Angels ever bright and fair," was beauti-
fully sung in this scene by Miss Anne Romer. At
the conclusion of the act she was called for, and
greeted with the most enthusiastic applause. Miss
Susan Cushman made a most interesting Anne
Bullen, and Mr. Ryder, as Buckingham, de-
claimed the celebrated dying speech with
great propriety. Of the Henry the Eighth
of Mr. Cooper we would fain not be compelled to
speak. lie was wont to be an useful, and a painstaking

MARYLEBONE.

John Brown, a young man, who has at least two
or three aliases, was placed at the bar, charged with
having been concerned in plundering the premises of
Mr. Charles Edmonds, the Feathers public-house,
corner of Br,)wn'Street, Edgeware•road, of cash to
the amount of at least 181.

At an early hour in the morning of the 3d instant,
Mr. Edmonds was aroused from his slumber by 61
D, who found the front door open. Search was made
and it was discovered that the money alluded to had
been carried off from the bar-parlour; two bundles
of cigars had also been stolen, and without loss of
time information of the robbery was given at the
nearest police-station. It was shown that on the
night previous to the discovery of the robbery the
prisoner and another person went into the house, at
two different times, but it %as not known at what
period they made their egress. Sergeant liambury,
12 D, at length took the prisoner into custody at
Islington, and conveyed him to the st•ttion-house in
a cab, and, on his alighting, he (the constable) found
on the seat a " jemmy" (crow-bar), the dimensions
of which exactly fitted to the marks made on the
drawers from which the money was stolen. He
had also in his possession some cigars, similar to
those which prosecutor had missed, and a number of
lucifer matches.

The prisoner, who declared that he knew nothing
whatever about the robbery, was remanded till next
Thursday, but was given to understand that good and
substantial bail would be taken for his appearance on
that day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Jones, a tall elderly man, of respectable
appearance, was charged with having assaulted Henry
Prince, goldsmith and jeweller, of No. 7, Harrow-
street, Lisson-grove.
The complainant proved that the defendant had
called at his lodgings on Friday last, and, in his ab-
sence, had told his landlady that he was nothing but
a --. He was informed of what had occurred on
hi 3 return home, and he immediately went to the de-
fendant's house, in Little Pulteney-street, to demand
an explanation. The defendant abused him grossly,
charged him with having written an anonymous let-
ter to his friends at Winchester, called him an in-
famous name, and struck him with his fist, and with
a stone which he sharpened his trade tools on.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Frice Current of Sept. 7.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market for Raw Sugar presented
a firmer appearance, exporters as well as the home trade
showing more disposition to do business, whilst mer-
chants offered a less quantity for sule. West India
Muscovado was sold to a fair extent for all purposes,
and the rates obtained were fully equal to those of Fri-
day ; indeed in some cases they were rather above. The
total purchases amounted to 550 hlads and trcs, includ-
ing a public sale of 151 hhds 6 trcs Barbadoes, which
went at fully former quotations : fine yellow fetched
44s 7d, good 43s to 445, good middling 42s 6d, middling
40s 6d to 425, and low 39s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a full de-
mand from the home trade, and prices further declined;
brown grocery Lumps selling at 54s to 543 6d, and to
pass the standard 555. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little
wanted, and 34s 6d is the nearest value of fine quality.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
sugar
demand was
at public sale amounted to 1,275 bags, and
was more active, the rates obtained were
6d per cwt above these of Friday. Privately several
sales were made in Bengal, and Madras also sold more
freely at stiffer rates.

flatly, and a small part only sold at about tormer rates,
viz , fine ord gneyish at 466 to 48, 61., fine tine ord 50s
to 51s, low nod 54s ; Na.ive pea berry 41s to 425, and
sea damaged 30s to 455; the chief part was taken in at
51s to 63s for sound, and at 64s to 66s for pea berry.
Privately few purchases were made in any kind by ex-
porters or the home trade, and the general tendency of
pziees is downward for Co fee.

PEARL CANDLE LAMP.—NO FICTION!!
—The Lamps hitherto used have created vast inconvenience,
and it is high time they were annihilated—thanks to the gigantic
improvements of our age, the time is at hand. To offer a Lamp—
perfection—is, we deem, rendering a public service ; ter what are we
without light ? The Pearl is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged.
No cleaning required. To sell the ordinary Caudle Lamps is now
Impossible ; the public have long enough been pestered with such
rubbish. The Pearl Candle Lamp is the perfection of candle lights.
The public will have none other. Designs to suit every taste.

N.B.—Every persons Candle Lamp can be altered to the pearl
principle.

STAR-LIGHT NIGHT-LIGHT ! ! PERFECTION 1 ! !
WHAT is a MORTAR LIGHT? What are ordi-

and will be used no more. The Star-Light Night-Light is a charming
little light to illumine the darkness of the bedchamber ; it must suc-
ceed ; its economy and limplicity myriads will admire ; for what can
be desired more than perfection ? This beautiful little Light burns

the goods depot of the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock
Railway at Glasgow to the proposed branch of the

Canal; and the other to contain the remaining provisions
