"In order more completely to Lmiliurizo the patrons
of the Dramatic Magazine with toe obj‘cts of its criti-
cism, it will contain correct portraits if dramatic au-
thors, and of the members of the stage, representing the
latter in their principal characters, and :IL() in private
costume. To guarantee the fidelity of these llketiesses,
it is merely necessary to state, that they have all been
daguerreetyped expressly for this publication—a process
by which, indeed, we see the actors as in a glass.,
Interesting scenes in plays will also be presented through
the medium, of the pictorial art, and various eminent ar-
tists will contribute to render this work the orly appropri-
ately illustrated history of the dramatic world which has
ever been presented to the public.
" The work will furnish a faithful chronicle of the
re:A-mints of the theatrical and musical world, not
merely recording the triumphs of e,tublished fitvourites
and the represmtation of stock and pkys, but

the River Wandle ; and at the same time to improve the
sewerage of the suburban districts of Surrey. The Wandle

and the building will, in the course of 'a
few months, be ready
to receive inmates. An Endowment Fund has lately been
established in connexion with the institution, and several
handsome sums have been subscribed. The Printers' Dra-
matic Society have engaged the Strand Theatre, and intend
to give a performance in aid of this fund—a laudable effort,
which deserves a hearty response at the hands of the printing
trade and of the friends of the institution. _ _

level in Alfred Consols mine that it was determined to raise

weight, for the purpose of sending it to London to be pre-
sented at the intended exhibition; accordingly one was dis-
covered supposed to weigh upwards of 1 ton or 30 cwt., but
in removing it from its bed it broke in three pieces. It is
not known whether the three pieces will be sent or not.—

thighs in a dreadful manner. He was taken to the Salis-
