LYCEUM THEATRE.
7° Parents and Guardians.—At Jubilee Howe,
ei„ `Plianz, Young Gentlemen are, 6.c., is the title
of"
1,1:1 ene-act comic drama, produced here last evening.
The Principal of Jubilee House is Mr. Swish (Mr.
Ce'uclvvs), a genteel edition of Mr. Whackford
,queers. His resident "Parisian" usher, Mons.
Tourbillon (Mr. A. Wigan), is the hero of the piece.

Perished during the revolution, and he has taken
Irzefuge in England. With the feelings of a gentle-

tnster—the butt of the boys. The master, in the

-4.• Et TING OF COAL WIIII;PERS.—On Friday even-
BO numerous meeting of the coal whippers was held
n,toe Mechanics' Temperance Hall, Shad well, to take
Daniel
consideration the present position of their body.
Ittliel Browne, who was called to the chair, admitted the
_,not
benefit of the Act passed in their favour, but it
4_ net secured to them a fair day's wages for a fair
:37's work. In seeking to improve their condition they
t must not resort to strikes, but endeavour by mild means
2 attain their object, through the aid of the Commis-
'lovers, sad the Registrar, Mr. Barlow. The least a
gang of eleven men ought to have was 9d. per ton ; but
since the passing of the Act they had not been able to
obtain that price. This he attributed to a by-law passed
".Y the Commissioners, which limited their privileges to
The Prince Regent's Reach, whereas the Act extended to
Gravesend. A resolution was then agreed to, that the
meeting views with deep regret the impoverished condi-
tion of the coal whippers of the port of London, and are
determined by peaceable means to obtain a fair day's
pay for a fair day's work. The meeting then adjourned.
ALARMING FIRES AND Loss OF LIFE.—On
Sunday morning, shortly before four o'clock, an alarm-
IN fire, by which an aged female lost her life, broke out
•‘ll the premises No. 36, Little Bartholomew-close, West
,:alithfield, a very narrow and densely populated neigh •
oonrhood. The house in question is occupied by
nnu-
merous families, and the deceased, a person named Jane
‘lould, tenanted the back room first-floor. At the time
before stated, some of the inmates were alarmed by per-
e •
ehlng smoke in dense bodies entering their bedrooms.
48 soon as possible a search was made to find out the
cause, but no sooner had the inmates reached the stair-
ecase, than they became aware that the premises were on
're, and when they opened the door of deceased's room
most fearful sight presented itself, the apartment being
411, general blaze, and in the middle of the floor was
deceased, who was on fire from head to foot. The
Pollee, with the aid of the inmates, succeeded in getting
the deceased removed, but she was so dreadfully burnt,
that she died almost instantly afterwards. All the other
initiates fortunately succeeded in leaving the premises
in safety.—About half-past three o'clock on Saturday
rrning a fire that did considerable damage broke out
It the private dwelling-house of Mr. J. May, No. 19,
44anor-street, Old Kent-road. It was caused from a
I.lantity of linen, placed in the kitchen to dry, taking

out the same time, at 23, Tysoe-street, Clerkenwell, in
no Workshop of Mr. Light, a cabinet-maker. Engines
of the Brigade and West of England Company attended,
44(19 °Wing to the prompt assistance of the police and
others, the damage done was very trifling.—About three
;ours previously, a very alarming fire broke out in the
„,arks belonging to Mr. J. Rumsey, a cocoa-nut fibre-
s" dweller and bone crusher, situate in Dean-street,
a„"Idwell. Engines of the Brigade were set to work,
ff" 4, With the aid of fifty auxiliaries, the firemen got the
,Innes extinguished, but not before the upper floor and
2°f were destroyed, and the machinery and steam
engines severely damaged by fire and water.
SINGULAR MATCH.—A wager was laid by several
Putlemen in this town, on Wednesday last, that a pigeon
vtould not be able to compete with the railway train run-
t between Manchester and Ashton. As the trains
4_kon the Ashton branch of the Leeds Railway were con-
sidered to run at a greater speed than those upim th
Sheffield branch, parties were despatched with the pigeon
O Manchester. At the moment when the train started
"3.131 Hunt's Bank, the pigeon was set at liberty, and
'filmed at home three minutes before the train reached
Ashton the
terminus. Numbers of persons were stand-
