Another reflection suggested by the mournful
story is the urgent necessity of improving our public
buildings. The means of egress are always sadly
deficient, and although we believe care is taken
that all new buildings should be better constructed
the old ones are left as they are. If Exeter Hall were
to be the scene of a similar alarm on a crowded night
what an awful catastrophe would result, and many
other of our large buildings would be nearly as fatal.
It would surely be well worth while for all such

halls and places of amusement to be examined, and
where the means of egress are not large, easy of
access, and numerous, to make additional ones at
the cost of a little inconvenience or expense. By

this means we should avoid the risk of having these
dreadful catastrophes among us which so suddenly
and so terribly convert a scene of pleasure and
diversion into a dismal and painful tragedy.

The monopolising spirit which has of late taken
possession of the railway companies is about to put
the public to fresh inconvenience, lire are threat-
ened with a partial strike of the London cab-
drivers, and this time that much-abused class have
certainly reason on their side. It seems that the
railway companies employ cabs of their own, and
refuse to grant the non-privileged cabs the very
just and reasonable request which they make. They
ask that "_every cab-driver who takes a fare
to the station shall be permitted to carry
one from it," but the railway companies
refuse this, and the cab-drivers resent what
they term "an oppressive monopoly." A
meeting was held in Cumberland-market, which
was on the whole very creditably conducted,
and addresses were delivered by the president of
the " No-Monopoly Club," and others. The men
have determined not to ply at any railway station,
or on any rank in the neighbourhood of a railway
station, after a certain date not yet fixed, and they
solicit the assistance of the public in refusing to
employ privileged cabs. This assistance will
not, we apprehend, be very generally forth-
coming, inasmuch as the inconvenience of
a cabless railway station, more especially if it be
one of the London termini, is very great, but we
hope the railway companies will be brought to rea-
son without this awkward process. It is foolish
for them to quarrel with the cab-drivers, who are
certainly very important auxiliaries, and the public
feeling is certain to be against them after the re-
cent specimens of their arrogance and overcharging.
We want a more liberal and enlightened spirit in-
troduced into the management of our railways, else
we shall have to reconsider the pros and cons of the
continental system, which keeps the control of all
such matters in the hands of the central authority.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist., 8,

ROYAL ACADEMI OF MUSIC.

The annual public concert of the Royal Aca—e 0,
took place on Wednesday afternoon, at the 031/0

fashionable audience. The music was generall/

a King's scholar, played a capriccio of his 003 Tittle
position, in which, the orchestra was a Were
too nuisy to do him justice. The lady students from
Miss A. Lanham, who sang the well-known duet or
" Norma" with Miss De Chastelaine very credit;,oo.
Miss Vokins, who played Mendelssohn's fi3B tioa

and Miss Dowling, whose manuscript part
" Oh, the Merry May," was charming, th:;t11

COURT OF CONIMON PLEAS.

(Before Chief Justice Bovill and a Special Jury.)
BLYTU V. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was also an action against the above railway
company for compensation.

The plaintiff was driving his horse near Strat-
ford-bridge, when the animal became so frightened
at the noise made by one of the engines of the
company, and also by the steam that came from
it into the roadway, that it " bolted" and
seriously injured itself. The plaintiff him-
self also received very severe hurts and bruises,
which, as they had been occasioned through the
instrumentality of the company, they ought to be
called upon to make proper reparation.
The company contended that they were not to
blame, that the engine was standing in the siding,
and that no further use was made of it than they
were entitled to by the Act of Parliament.
The Attorney-General and a long array of counsel
appeared in the case, which seemed likely to extend
over the day.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

V. BILLING.

This was a suit to obtain probate of the will of
Mr. Ananias Billing, lately the senior partner of a
large building firm at Nottingham. The will was
opposed on the ground of incapacity.
The case appeared to be a very complicated one,
from the fact that the will that had led to all these
difficulties had been executed after one had already
been formally signed.

THE STRAND MUSIC HALL.—This case, under the
winding-up order, was specially appointed to come on on
Saturday at the Rolls Chambers before Mr. Marshall, the
chief clerk. Several parties attended; Mr. Holdsworth
for the official liquidator. There is a fund in hand, and the
matter was to go before the Master of the Rolls to ascer-
tain which of the creditors was to be paid. It is expected
that there will be no dividend to the creditors, and no calls
made. The chief clerk made a formal adjournment to com-
plete the case, and said the parties need not attend, as the
matter would go before the Master of the Rolla on the
quintiwz 9ipayunut.

Sir,—Some months back I had an, attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSA of
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiviug strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-

SOULLERS' ItACE FOR £lOO.

A match for the above amount was rowed on Tuesday
Irons Putney to Mortlake, by John Augustine Caffin,
waterman of the Old Swan, London-bridge, and William.
Sadler, a waterman of Putney.
Sadler was a great favourite, and the betting opened at
2 to 1 on him, and went to 5 to 2; he also won the choice
of station, and took the Middlesex side, sheltered from the
wind, while Caffin was exposed to all of it in mid stream.
He weighed 12st 41b, while Sadler weighed 2st less. Mr.
W. Wilberforce, jun., was referee; Mr. It. Bain umpire for
Caffin, and Henry Kelly his pilot. Joe Sadler stood um-
pire for his brother, and George Hammerton showed hint
up. They got off on a bad tide, Caffiu with a slight lead ;
ho was dispossessed of it, however, in 50 yards, and at the
Star and Garter Sadler led by one-third of a length, both
steering in shore. Sadler increased the gap as they neared
the London boat-house, but here Caffin drew up, and half-
way up the Willows Sadler, who was too close in shore,
came out, and they fouled ; Sadler went on with the load,
and was well ahead at Hammersmith, but again off Chis-
wick Caffin caught him, and a smart struggle to the bath-
ing place at Barnes found them again fouling. After that
Sadler maintained the lead, and at Mortlake was declared
the winner on the foul. Time, 27 min. 25 sec.

THE HOME SECREnIRY.

Tho following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
evening:—

This afternoon a deputation, headed by Mr. D.
Seymour, M.P., waited on Mr. Hardy, at the Home-
office, topresent to the right hon. gentleman the Lon•
don Irish address against Fenianisin. The address
had appended to it 22,603 names. The deputation,
numbered about 50 persons.
The address having been presented,
Mr. Hardy said—Mr. Seymour and gentlemen,
as you are aware, it is not usual when an address
is brought to the Home Office for presentation to;
the Crown, that the deputation should be received
by the Minister who takes charge of it. But I felt
that an exception might well be made in a case
where I was persuaded a great number of Irish
residents in London would be glad of an oppor-
tunity of declaring, under peculiar and trying
circumstances, their loyalty to the Crown and in-
stitutions of the country. It will, of course, be
my duty to lay this address at the earliest moment
before her Majesty. I cannot doubt of izs favour-
able reception ; and I will afterwards communi-
cate her Majesty's gracious answer to Mr. Seymour,
whom I presume you wish should be the medium of
communication.
The deputation then withdrew.
