DIAMOND DUST.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
It is more easy to forgive the weak who have injured
tit, than the powerful whom we have injured. Ile tl
has cot the lion's claws will not feel himself quite secure
until he has ulso drawn his teeth.
Where merit appears, do justice to it without scruple.
The future is always fairy-land to the young. Lfe
is like a Lt autiful and windini, lane, on either side brightflowers, and Leauiful buttnlies, and tempting fruits,
which we scarcely pause to admire and t i taste; so eager
are we to hasten to an opening which we imagine will be
more beautiful still. But, by degrees as we advance, the
trees grow bleak; the flowers and butterflies fsil; the
fruits di:appear, and we find we have arrived, to rt ach a
desert waste; in the centre, a stage ant and letheau lake,
over which wheel and shriek the dark-winged birdr, the
embodied memories cf the past.
You can never overtake tiine. It is Lest therefore to
be always a few minutes before him.
Forgiveness of injuries—The odour flowers yield
when trampled on.

MR. ARCHER'S BENEFIT.—The benefit of Mr. 3.
T. Archer, the box book-keeper at the Haymarket
Theatre, whose valuable services are well known at d
appreciated by every frequenter of the boxes of the
" little theatre in the Haymarket," is fixed fir Friday
next. The bill of fare is excellent. Jerrold's comedy
of Nell Gwynne will be revived, when Mr. Keeley will
appear in his original character of Orange Moll, Mr.
Webster will appear for the first time as King Charles,
and Miss Reynolds will make her first appearance as
Nell Gwynne. The comedy will be followed by Buck-
stone's f.rce of the Christening; after which will be pre-
tented Mrs. Gore's popular drama of The Maid of
Croissey, in which Madame Celeste will appear in the
character of Theresa ; and the entertainments will con-
clude with the comic drama of The Maid with the Milk-
ing Pail, in which Mr. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam
will sustain the principal characters. Mr. Archer's own
merits are sufficient to secure him a bumper, but, with
such a bill of fare, he cannot but have an overflow.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—The market to-
day has been very quip t and heavy. There was a strong
determination on the part of purchasers not to buy, ex-
cept at a reduction in price, and for some titre after the
market opened little business was done, producers seem-
ing determined to hold out with equal resolution. 'lbis
feeling 'revai!ed more or less duringthe eay, and very
little bush ess wa3 dere in-any article, the turn being in
favour of the buyer, without any quotable decline in
prices.
