EFFECT OF RATIONAL AMUSEMENTS ON THE
PEOPLE. - The Queen's marriage was honoured at Manches-
ter by all the public institutions of the town being thrown
open gratuitously to the public. More than 0,000 persons
visited the Zoological Gardens; yet we learn from a speech
of Mr. S. Greig, at the annual meeting of the Macclesfield
Useful Knowledge Society, that no wanton mischief was
done or property ;destroyed, the whole amount of damage
sustained consisting of some of the grass sod being .trampled
down by the presence of this immense concourse of people;
and as a sequel to all it is a fact that after this universal holi-
day, when the whole population had been turned out to enjoy
themselves, the next morning there were fewer than even
the ordinary number of cases of drunkenness brought before
the bench of magistrates.—Penny Magazine, Dec. 5, 1840.
PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSE FUND.—A dramatic per•
formance, we perceive, is announced to be given by the

Theatre, to-morrow (Saturday' evening, in. aid of the en-
dowment fund connected with the above valuable institution.
Sbakspere's As You Like It and the farce of The Haunted
Inn will be played. We trust the efforts of the Dramatic
Society will meet with a hearty response from the friends of
the institution, and the trade at large.
THE GREAT SALE AT THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.

--MENAI STRAITS, TIIIIIISDAY.-Tir sale of the immense
surplus materials at the Britannia-bridge, and whichis being
attended by a very large number of buyers and bidders from
all parts, commenced on Tuesday morning, amidst a storm
of wind and rain, such as has not been witnessed in the loca-
lity for years past. The spring-tide was raised by the gale
to an unusual height, overflowing the
incessant
the Menai,
and the spray was carried by the storm in one cloud
beneath the arches of the bridge. It was some time before
the subsidence of the waters enabled the purchasers to occupy
the groand, but soon after the auction commenced with great
spirit, the articles consisting of enormous balks and quanti-
ties of timber, workshops, offices, sets of stages, fire-engines,
and iron by tons on tons, realising fair prices. The first
day's sale consisted of 258 lots. Yesterday ( Wednesday
the second day's sale, there was a very good attendance, and
the prices were better than on
.the previous day. There were
250 lots, consisting of the 10-inch ropes and hawsers, from
100 to '2OO fathoms each, manufactured expressly for the
bridge by London and Liverpool makers. There were seve-
ral or Carter and Kisbee's life-buoys, anchors of from 5 cwt.
to 15 cwt., cable stoppers, capstans, boats, and chains. The
proceeds of each day's sale are estimated at upwards of a
thousand pounds. To-day (Thursday) and to-morrow the
most valuable articles, such as the hydraulic presses, chains,
&c., will be brought under the hammer.
When marriage is founded on prudence and honour,
life has a definite object, and existence becomes a substantial
blessing. Eliza Cook's Journal.

We have reason to believe that the letter of Lord
John Russell to the Bishop of Durham will lead to results
which were little anticipated at the time of its publication.
We are informed, from good authority, that it is likely to
create very great confusion in the Irish Government. It is
even whispered that (ne of the chief law officers of the Crown
has either already resigned or is about to resign his situation,
on the ground that he cannot with any satisfaction to himself
retain his connexion with a Government whose head has
spoken so slightingly of those ceremonies of his religion,
which he regards with feelings of profound reverence, as to
call them "mummeries."—Advertiser,
