HULL REFORMERS.--9 meeting, attended by
many of the lading members of the Reform party in this
borough, was held in the large room of the Kingston Hotel,
on Wednesday last, B. M. Jalland, Esq., in the chair. A series
of resolutions was moved and adopted, the object of which was
to concentrate the Liberal force, superintend the registration,
and provide a news-room for the working classes.—Hull
Advertiser.

RUTABAGA TURNIP.—We have this week,
seen a Rutabaga turnip, perfectly sound, which weighs IWilbs.,
and measures two feet eight inches in circtunference. The
seed was in the ground by the first week in May hit, and re-
ceived no injury from the heavy fall of snow which followed,
or from mildew, to which early tillage is generally supposed to
be liable.— West Briton.

PETITION FROM IRELAND TN FAVOUR OF
Mit. FROST.—At a meeting of the National Trades' Union
last Tuesday, it was resolved that a petition to the Queen in
favour of Mr. Frost should be forwarded for presentation to Mr.
O'Connell. One of the speakers an this occasion is reported to
have said—"'le could not refrain from saying that. Frost de-
served his fate—first, for being a traitor to his Queen, and
secondly, for not making a better fight for the workmen wham
he had deluded into violence. The petition came well from
Ireland, because she had defeated the machinations of chartism ;
and this was fortunate for Irishmen, because, had they acted as
the Chartists had done, they would not have got even the sem-
blance of a trial, but would be hanged from the lamp-posts of
the city.—(Hear, hear.) He remembered the period when
men who were not half as culpable as Frost were left dangling
from the lamp-posts at the corners of the streets. He was
convinced that, if unfortunately, the time should ever arrive
when Irishmen would be placed in the position in which the
Chartists were placed, they would nat skulk away as they had
done.—( Cheers. ) Though Frost deserved to be punished,
' they should do all they could to prevent his blood being shed "
COVENT-GARDEN TH-FflTRE.—The Clan-
destine Marriage was Pere:ormed on Saturday night P,,!. Wks
theatre to a crowded
:udience. The cast of the cinecky

atten-
tion to costume which so distinguisfie.s the et

management, The dresses were those of the
product* of the comedy—the middle
tiles.. The lady characters were time of the first
of the eighteenth cen-
Nisb,ett, Mrs, Lacy, Mrs. '• . animatedly sustained by Mrs.
Jones. The latter
T urger, Mrs. Humby, and Mrs. C.
Miaa Heidelber.g. " 'actress
Nisbettdispla and Mrs. Lacy (late
much talent as Mrs.
.ne acting of Mrs.
7,yior) gave full effect to the two Sterlings, and the con-
-'7lst of their servants was cleverly displayed by Mrs. Orger
and Mrs. Humby. Farren played Lord Ogleby, and gave
broad and somewhat coarse effect to the part. F. Mathews
(poor Bartley was indisposed) enacted Sterling, and rather
overdid the merchant, carrying the weaknesses of the character
a little too strongly into burlesque. Cooper, as Sir John Mel-
ville, and Mr. G. Vandenhoff, as Lovewell, sustained their
parts with respectability ; and we ought to say a good word for
the Brush of Mr. T. Green. Mr. Bland's Canton did not much
please us. Take it all in all, however, the performance of the
comedy was excellent and attractive. It is quite refreshing to
find our good old English comedies put upon the stage with so
much talent and spirit, and it is equally gratifying to find the
efforts of the management attended with triumphant success.
A FOUNDLING.—On Saturday morning a la-
bourer at Mr. Moyle's at Bosvigo, near Truro, coming to his
work heard a faint cry near the path ; on which he proceeded
to the house, and informed a female servant of the circumstance.
They then returned with a light, and found, on some straw, a
fine female infant, apparently about a week or ten days old.
CHARTISM.—The Yorkshire papers received
this morning bring no intelligence of any outbreak in their
respective localities. With regard to Nottingham it seems that
some unnecessary alarm has been created in Mansfield and
neighbourhood during the past week. The press of that
county unhesitatingly avows that some " knaves," not in
Chartists ranks are infamously imposing upon his Grace the
Duke of Portland, which has caused his Grace to promote all
the measures that have been taken. The Nottingham Review
states that the military have been called out, and that other pre-
cautionary measures also have been adopted to preserve the
peace, bnt no insurrectionary movement has been witnessed,
either in Nottingham or its neighbourhood.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JAN, 17.—S
samples have been drawn this week, which, as the trade was
distressed for them, sold readily at prices much above the
London market, Taking a general view of the market, it
can rarely have been said to be in a more unsatisfactory state.
