gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiftd and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—
The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a Dew and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes; it Is designed to
keep cool and sweat such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
summer season. •

The Refrigerator is new considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every'good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
front the weather will more that pay the cost of the article in
one year.

They may be seen In operation, In their vari•us valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can bo supplied with
them on moderate terms.

OPINIONS OF THE PRPSS,

" We regard the work before us, ' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
hut cordially wish every one who is the victim ofpast folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaint; which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style iu
which this book is written, and the valuable tints it conveys to
the.ar who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

aghby) seemed to feel very strongly on the att •
of the report sent in by the surveyors. These officers,
he must remember, did not feel themselves authorised
to make suggestions as to the propriety of introducing
a new form of sewer until an I-lon. Commissioner ex-
hibited some sections, when they were ordered by the
Court to report upon the subject. They did not call
in question the stability of the present form--they
confirmed it—but they said that as there were cu.-
cum itances in which the perpendicular form might
be disadvantageous, they therefore proposed that now
before the Court, as combining all the excellencies of
the old with the superiority of the new, and at the
same time be applicable under every circumstance.
It was the fashion now-a-days to have something
empirical in every scheme. There was-a royal road
to knowledge now, and they had the universal
' medicine ; and now it was also that they
had discovered that a curvilinear form of
sewer was the best for all purposes. He
himself would decidedly support the plan exhibited
by the surveyors, and with respect to that proposed
by Mr. Leslie, he dissented from it, because in most
cases even a rise of water in the sewers to the height
of three inches would throw it back into the houses.
After some further observations the original motion
and amendment were put from the Chair, when the
latter was carried.
The next business to consider was as to alterations
in the forms of contracts under advice of counsel ; and
substituting the following for Llw N 0.103 :
" That the mode adopted under the 103 d standing
order of taking bonds from the contractors and the
sureties be abandoned, and that in future articles of
agreement under seal be entered into by the contrastor
with six of the Commissioners on behalf of the 10301070 T
the Commissioners, and that the terms of the tenderbe
incorporated in such articles of agreement, and that*
sfparate bond be taken from the contractor and his
si reties for the performance of the articles of agree-
ment."
The motion was unanimously agreed to, and the
Court adjourned.

MARKET NEWS--(YESTERDAY

CORN-EXCHANGE.
Compared with those of last week, the arrivals o.
English Wheat up to our market since Monday, have
been rather scanty; hence the show of samples of that
grain was limited. For most descriptions the demand
was steady, and previous rates were still supported. In
foreign Wheat, a fair business was doing at late rates.
The duty on foreign Barley having declined to 3s, with
very little chance of its falling any lower, several large
parcels were brought forward, and which had a most de-
pressing influence upon the trade, on somewhat easier
terms. The supply of Malt was pretty well cleared off,
at previous quotations. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were
about stationary.

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL
FESTIVAL.

THIIRSDAY.—The performances of this morning em-
braced the two first acts of the Creation, the Hymn of
Praise by Mendelssohn, and a selection from Israel in
Egypt. Two of these works are so wellknown, that
erit'cism among their respective excellencies hies long
ceased to be necessary. They have taken their station
among those product Tons of genius that the world agree
to hold in admiration. The one is tt display of grace,
and the other of grandeur; for Israel in Egypt unfolds
in a higher degree than any other of his oratorios its
author's essential characteristic. Chorus succeeds to
chorus; descriptive of Egypt's successive plagues, while
Han,l-,1 scarcely stoops to interrupt his majestic march
by the interposition of a song. Haydn mingles the
most graceful melodies, in all their varied forms and
combinations, with the splendour of his choruses, and
adds the rich charm of his diversified accompaniment to
the whole. He fascinates ; but Handel elevates the
hearer's mind. Mendelssohn's Lobrgesang bldongs
rather to the modern than the old German school, and
even those of his predecessors, is frequently discernible.
This work has been heard in London, and the judgment
our metropolitan critics has been pronounced upon it.
The singers this morning acquitt( d themselves with
their accustomed ability, and the varied attraction of
the morning drew a very numerous audience to the
Cathedrdl.

'he evening's concert comprised more pieces of ac-
,wl:dged and sterling excellence than either of the
ones. It commenced with the Sinfonia Pas-

Pi'ec'e'

iorale of Beethoven, which probably- was thought by
mail of its auditors somewhat long ; at least so it ap-
peared. But we ought not to marvel that a 'country au-
dience fail to discern and appreciate the design and the
beauties of a composition which even the Philharmonic
hand discovered and displayed only after repeated trials.
Madame Caradori Allan sang, a:id Williams accom-
panied, J'arto, ma to ben mio admirably ; and Manvcrs
displayed power, execution, and good taste in // mio tcsoro.
A pretty duet by Gabussi exhibited the neat execution
and happy combination of voices which the Misses
Williams have attained. Miss Barrett's "Should he
upbraid" was very successful, perhaps not the less so
that she is a native of Gloucester.

The concert (the last of the present festival) concluded
with " Uod save the Queen." The room was well at-
tended, and it is hoped that the present meeting will
prove sufficiently successful to insure its conlisuance at
the usual interval.

shall run." So saying he retreated, suiting the action to the
word, and was saved.

The President himself had taken his position but a few
minutes previous, precisely were Governor Gilmer was killed;
but for some reason or other went aft, and was thus provi-
dentially saved..

The most heart-rending scene, however, was that which
followed. The two daughters of Mr. Gardiner, of New York,
were on board, and lamented the death of their father ; while
Mrs. Gihner, from ;Whom they in vain attempted to lickep the
dreadful news of the death of her husband, presented truly a
spoctacle tit to be depicted by a tragedian. There she sat on
deck, with her hair disheveled, pale as death, struggling
with her feelings, and with the dignity of a woman—her lips
quivering, her eyes fixed and upturned, without a tear, only
the corners a little moist, soliloquising—" Oh, certainly not !
Mr Gilmer cannot be dead !, Who would dare to injure him?
Yes, oh Lord, have mercy on him ! Oh Lord, have mercy on
him !" And then, still more apparently calm and seeming
too collected, With the furies tearing her heart within, " I
beseech ye, gentlemen, to tell nee where my husband is? Oh,
impossible—impossible ! Can he, can he, can he be dead? Im-
possible !" . •

Here Mr. Senator Rives, of Virginia, drew near.
" Come near, Mr. Rives," she said, in a soft whisper,
which resembled Ophelia's madness, "tell me where my hus-
band is—tell me whether he is dead. Now, certainly, Mr.
Rives, this is impossible—is it not so?" Mr. Rives stood
speechless,*the tears trickling down his cheeks. "I tell you,
Mr. Rives, it is impossible," she almost screeched; and then
again, moderating her voice, "Now do, Mr. Rives, tell his
wife whether her husband lives." Here several ladies ex-
claimed, "Oh God, grant that she may be able to cry. It
would certainly relieve her some. If not, she must die of a
broken heart."

But my account has already grown much too lengthy,
and I must close for the present by informing you that the
President, Mr. Robert Tyler, Mr. John Tyler, jun., and many
other officers remained on board the Princeton when we left.
There were but two surgeons on board at the time of the
disaiter, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Hunt, the regular physicians of
the ship. Every attention was shown to the wounded.
I will give you further particulars to-morrow.
FRANKLIN.
P.S.--The President's mulatto servant, who was also
badly wounded, has died since.
