MISS KELLY'S THEATRE.—This elegant little
theatre is at present occupied by Mr. Henry Russell, the
popular and accomplished vocalist, whose musical entertain-
ments, founded upon incidents of travel in America, have so
long been a source of delight to the pleasure-seeking portion
of the community. The nature of the entertainment is too
well known and appreciated to need any recommendation in
these columns, but Mr. Russell has introduced a novel and
agreeable feature into his performances, which is well worthy
of a passing notice. Mr. Russell was wont to deliver his
lyrical romances with so much pathos and dramatic effect,
that one scarcely thought there was room left for adding to
the interest of his songs. It seems, however, that his active
mind is ever on the alert to discover new methods of con-
tributing to the enjoyment of his patrens, and, taking a hint
from brother Jonathan, he has combined the pictorial with
the musical, and now his entertainment embraces the genius
of the artist as well as the taste of the musician. Nothing
can surpass the beauty of the panoramic scenes which
grace his songs and illustrate his anecdotes, while they are
as correct in detail as they are perfect in execution, and
those who wish to enjoy an intellectual treat should go and
pass an evening with Mr. Russell in the Soho Theatre.

ROYAL VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The fineness of the
weather, combined with the large number of strangers at
present in London, and the altogether superior entertain-
ments, accounts in the most satisfactory manner for the
nightly crowded state of the Royal Property. The pro-
prietor, in addition to the many attractions of this renowned
place of resort, has engaged an equestrian company, whose
merits have already been acknowledged. The principal per-
formers comprising the company, are Madlle. Palmyra An-
nato and Hernandez, each of whom have already acquired for
themselves a world-wide reputation. The water and fire
sports, invented by M. Faucault, and exhibited by that gen-
tleman, are truly beautiful, forming a very attractive part of
the evening's amusement. Next Wednesday isionnounced
for the benefit of Mr. Wardell, the indefatigab* manager,
whose liberality in granting the use of these gardens for
charitable purposes cannot be too highly commended. We
doubt not but that the public will testify to his popularity by
attending in considerable numbers on the occasion,

THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP.--This splendid
vessel, after undergoing a thorough repair, is expected to be
fit for sea in about two months. She is now in the graving
dock, where she has received a new keel, having been for-
merly flat, and a spacious and splendid saloon has been
fitted up on her deck, extending the entire length, 275 feet.
She will proceed on her Transatlantic voyage some time
during the month of October, under the command of Captain
Matthews, formerly of the Great Western, and afterwards of
the City of Glasgow—a seaman whose long and successfully
tried experience and judgment are justly appreciated alike
by owners, shippers, and passengers.—Liverpool Chronzcle.

SUICIDE IN HORNSEY WOOD.—Yesterday morning,
some youths who had entered Hornsey-wood for the pur-
pose of nutting, observed the body of a man suspended to the
branch of a tree. They informed the police, who cut down
the unfortunate man, and removed the remains to the Horn-
sey-wood tavern. From the marks on the tree, it is inferred
that the deceased clambered up and fastened the fatal noose,
and then threw himself oil'. The body is that of a man
about thirty years of age, dressed in black coat, light vest,
and Tweed trousers. His shirt was fastened with silver
studs, marked R. L. A., and some documents were found on
him, inscribed John H. Nelson.
MILITARY FORCE IN LONDON AND VICINITY.--The
following are the regiments and battalions at present quar-
tered in the metropolis and its environs :—Cavalry—lst
Regiment of Life Guards, Albany Barracks, Regent's-park;
2d ditto, Knightsbridge Barracks, Hyde-park ; Royal Horse
Guards (Blue), Windsor; Ist Royal Dragoons, Barnet; 4th
Light Dragoons, Hampton-court; Bth Hussars, Kensington
and Hounslow; 17th Lancers and Royal Horse Artillery,
Woolwich. Infantry-Ist battalian Grenadier Guards,

ditto, and 95th ditto, Portsmouth); Ist battalion Rifle

bury; Royal Foot Artillery, Royal Engineers and Sappers
and Miners, and Royal Marines, Woolwich. Besides the
above are the enrolled Chelsea out-pensioner battalions, who
can always be called out, if required, within 24 hours. The
tranquil state of the metropolis during the " Grand Exhibi-
tion of the Industry of all Nations" will not require after
this month more than the usual number of troops in the vici-
nity of town.

MAD FREAK OF A SERVANT GIRL.—The family
of Mr. Hall, of the Brunswick Inn, Ashton-under-Lyne,
were much distressed on the evening of Thursday week by
the sudden disappearance of a domestic servant girl, and as
much astounded by her re-appearance under as singular cir-
cumstances on the following Wednesday evening. She was
sought for in all places where it was thought she could be
at the time of her disappearance, but without effect. Two
nights after a low moaning was heard in one part of the
house, but nothing could be made out of it until Wednesday
morning, when the landlord beard a feeble knocking up
stairs, and on going to ascertain the cause, he found the
missing servant, just emerged from a hole communicating
with the roof. She appeared to have been without food
from the time she entered it, nearly a week before, and her
body was so emaciated that it was deemed advisable to send
her to the hospital. All the reason she can assign for her
very singular conduct is, that she is an orphan and she
thought everybcdy looked shy at herl
DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM-SHIP CANADA.—On
Saturday, at eleven o'clock, the British and North-American
Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Capt. Harrison, left the
Mersey for Halifax and Boston, with very heavy mails, for
the United States, Canada, Newfoundland, &c. She had
also a full cargo and 130 passengers.
BIRTH.—On the Bth inst., at Beverley, Mrs. H.
Llewellyn
Williams, of a son.

A frightful accident happened the day before yes-
terday at Arras, in a half-moon near the polygon of the en-
gineers. The guard-house in that work, which was used as
a workshop to make up the articles used in mining, blew up
with a terrific explosion. Nine soldiers of the 2d Regiment
of Engineers and the sergeant who had the direction of the
operations were blown to pieces, and their limbs scattered in
every direction with the materials of the building. Four
other men were seriously wounded and taken to the hospital.
The cause of the explosion has not yet been ascertained, but
it is not attributed to the negligence of any one, but rather
to the rays of the sun darting with great intensity on a
quantity of chlorate of potass which had been placed to dry.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
about 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken en
speculation. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 500
Peres= ard Maranham, at 54r1. to 64d; 150 Egyptian,
at .541 to 7d.; and 400 Surat, at 2d. to 34d. per lb. The
market closed firmly.—The Share Market was firmer,
and Midland Stock was in demand.
The Amsterdam Stuck Market, on the 9th inst., was
without change. Spanish Stock was more in favour.
The accounts from the West India Islands have been
delivered, and are not altogether favourable in respect
to the weather and the state of health in Jamaica.
There were complaints at Kingston of the loss of news-
papers, etc., and the matter is thus explained:—
" The continual mis-carriege of English and Colonial
exchanges, has, fur some time, been a source of incon-
venience and annoyance to us, and we, too, have con-
sidered the fact, to some extent, attributable to mis-
management in the General Post-office of this island.
We cannot say we are not satisfied that other causes
than this contribute to prevent perfect files from reach-
ing us, for we have occasionally found even our outside
file by the R. M. C. Steamer deprived of one or two of
the latest papers, either through the neglect of the
party forwarding it to see them inclosed, or because
they are abstracted on board —an alternative
which we are not at all inclined to entertain.
But the same fact as that alluded to by a contemporary
—that of papers addressed to other parties occasionally
being sent to us—cannot fail to incline us to the conclu-
sion that neglect at the General Post-office does, in some
measure, conduce to the continual disappointment to
which we are subjected.
" We understand that a money-letter, which was
some time ago posted in St. Thomas in the East, and
may be said to have been traced to the General Post-office,
has not reached its destination, and cannot be satisfacto-
rily accounted for. We trust, however, that the en-
deavours being made to discover what has become of it
will be so prosecuted as to lead to a successful result.
The authorities will, of course, see the propriety of their
using every effort to free the department from suspicion
of culpability in the matter."
The .American advices have been delivered, and the
private advices are satisfactory as to trading and
monetary affairs.
The Funds are very steady but not animated. Con-
sols have been quoted 96i for Transfer, and 964 for
Account. The New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. have
been marked 98i to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97
to 974. Exchequer-bills have realised 465. to 495.
premium. The prorogation of the English and French
Legislatures leaves the market free from exciting causes.
Foreign Securities have been somewhat fluctuating,
but there is not a great deal doing. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been 20i to 21, and the Three per Cents.
38k, being steady. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
realised 324 to 334. Mexican Stock is only 304 to 4,
owing to the disappointment at the small remittance.
Brazilian for Account has been 92, and Peruvian Old
Bonds are 904. Austrian Five per Cents. have realised
83, Dutch Four per Cents. 93k to 4, and Russian Five
per Cents. 115 to k.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have by the
Trent received advices from Mr. Faleonnet, dated
Mexico, the sth July, of which the following is an ex-
Ism si tract:—

" I have just received a communication from the Mi-
nister of Finance, purporting to be a reply to the va-
rious letters which I have from time to time this year
and last addressed to the successive Finance Ministers
on the business', of the bondholders. The letter is
chiefly confined to three points, viz.-Ist. The construc-
tion of the second paragraph of the 2d article of the
Decree of 14th October. 2dly. The interest on the
2,500,000 dolls, indemnity money; and, 3dly, the July
dividend now due in London. No. 1 is referred to
Congress. No. 2 is not to be allowed, and with
regard to No. 3, the deficiency is stated at 200,000 dolls.,
which the Government has called upon the Congress to
provide."
The Trent brings 30,000 dollars to Col. Facio, from
Vera Cruz, but nothing from Tampico, having been com-
pelled to leave behind both the mail and the Admiralty
agent there.
In Railway Shares there has been very little doing,
and prices consequently have undergone scarcely any
change. Caledonian, Great Western, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, Midland and Newport, and Abergavenuy,
have been infavour.
