beget novelty, he will leave no feeling:of lament that the purified
spirit of old Vauxhall has risen in a more fashionable region. During

increasing importance.
THE ELEGANT MANSION
has always been an object of admiration to the throngs gaily gliding
on Old Father Thames on steamers in rapid succession ; its conve.

portions, the five principal apartments on the ground floor commu-
nicating, and forming an extent of 160 feet, all beautifully deco-
rated ; the floors of fine oak, the doors of polished mahogany, and
the windows of plate glass ; numerous sleeping chambers, and ex-

CURE FOR THE HOOFING COUGH.—Take carbonate
of potass, one drachm; cochineal, one scruple; boiling
water, eight ounces. The dose is a teaspoonful, three
times a day.—Dr. Alnatt.
To INVALIDS.—In cases of indigestion, loss of ap-
petite, and general debility, even where the muscular
power is lost, and it is vain to expect relief from medi-'
eine, the highly nutritious essence of turtle cannot be
too strongly recommended; it infuses fresh life to the
body, and thereby affords nature an opportunity of ex-
ercising all her powers to overcome the disease. It also
makes a tureen of mock turtle not distinguishable from
the real, at one-tenth the usual expense; and with grie,
poultry, and made dishes, it is infinitely more delicious
than anything that ever yet appeared on an English
table. Prepared solely by M. Dc Barre, many years cook

bone-place, price 4s. 6d., Bs., and 215.; the 5/. cases cm-
I tain six guinea bottles.

THE WEATHER IN WARWICKSHIRE.—The weather has,
during the last few days, become somewhat more genial,
though as yet we have nothing to boast of. A few gentle
showers have kindly visited us, penetrating the earth to the
depth of about an inch, and vegetation expresses its thank-
fulness for the much-needed refreshment by assuming a
livelier hue. The wind, however, continues for the most part
in the north, veering sometimes towards the cast, and some-
times towards the west, but stopping nowhere save in the
quarter least desired.—Birmingham Advertiser.
THE WEATHER IN DERBYSIIIRE.—FOr several days past
the weather has more resembled winter than summer. The
temperature is excessively cold, with strong breezes from
N.N.E. On Monday night a little rain fell, but utterly in-
! adequate to what is wanted, as the fields and gardens are
suffering considerably.
THE WEATHER IN THE PEAK.—In the romantic but ele-
vated portion of our county, known as the High Peak, there
has been a complete return from the warm and genial tem-
perature usually appertaining to May, to the severity of
winter. During . the last seven days a biting north and
north-east wind has prevailed, accompanied by rain, hail,
and snow. A gentleman who slept at Youlgreave (in the
direction of Buxton) assures us that on Thursday morning
the glass of his bed-room window was completely obscured
by the frozen moisture, in a similar manner to that which is
commonly observed during the severest portion of winter;
and, even in the mild and sheltered valley of Matlock, a few
flakes of snow were observed on Saturday to fall during a
shower of rain.—Derby Mercury.
STATE OF THE CHOPS IN KFNT.—Agricultural report*
are frequently composed chiefly from observations on the
weather and changes of the barometer, and are often con-
Odered as dry and uninteresting by newspaper readers. The
present will form no exception, and cannot be more accu-
rately expressed than by transcribing from the index the
term " very dry," for certainly, within the period " whereof
the memory of man is not to the contrary," there has not
been experienced, at a corresponding season of the year, such
a continued and (it may be said) so serious a drought. The
land has often been in a drier state, but this has been at a
later period of the year, when the crops had taken deeper
root, and therefore enabled to keep alive, if not to make
growth ; but now many crops are completely scorched down
" root and rind," to the bottom. The wheats seldom stiffer
from want of moisture in this district, but they are
now hoisting the -yellow flag of distress, and the
yield must be short, both in grain and straw. The
barleys are suffering severely. Where sown late they
have had no chance to vegetate. Oats the same ; and
in many instances the sowing has been postponed, from
the stubborn state of the land, and must be abandoned for
this season altogether. The clovers, which at the beginning
of March were unusually good, are in many instances com-
pletely scorched and destroyed ; even en the strong clay soils
the land is so cracked in all directions that the crops cannot
stand. The grass, both in the meadow and pastures, is look-
ing very unpromising, and the crops of hay must be short.
The hop-bine is growing fast and looking well. Fruit is also
showing a good blossom, especially cherries and apples ;
there are here and there appearances of blight, but this is
by no means general or extensive. The lambing season has
proved the most prosperous ever remembered by the oldest
shepherds; the fall in Romney-marsh, and indeed through-
, out the whole district, has been numerous, and the weather
! continues so fine that they have thrived rapidly on a compara-
tively small portion of food. The meat markets remain dull,
and the prices are not satisfactory nor remunerating to the
graziers. The corn markets are steady, with a slight inclina-
tion upwards. Labour is scarce, and many hands unemployed,,
for even the weeds have ceased to grow.—Kentish Observer.

GREAT CHORAL MEETING IN

EXETER HALL.

The members of Mr. Hullah's classes, to the number of
2,000, met on Thursday in Exeter Hall. The choral perform-
ances took place under the direction of Mr. Hullakhimself.
The pieces selected were performed with great steadiness
and accuracy, and the improvement on the earlier perform-
ances of this many-voiced choir was marked. " Hark, the
lark at heaven's gate sings," an air admirably
'adapted to illustrate the character of Wilhem's
method; was excellently given, and was, of course, encored.
The- " Like to grass," by Jules Benedict, was admirably
given. The talented composer was himself present, and the
enthusiastic manner in which he was received was A deserved
tribute to his merits as a most talented musician, and a very
worthy man. Horsley's " Hay maker's Glee" was beautifully
sung, and never was " Rule Britannia" given with greater
effect than it was last evening. The performances of last
evening are an additional proof of the soundness of Wilhem's
priaciples, and of the admirable method in which those prin-
cip'es are carried out by Mr. Hullah. The hall was crowded.
Among the fashionable and distinguished visitors on the
platform, we observed the family of his Grace the Duke of
Sutherland, tlfe Right-Rev. the Lord Bishop of Norwich, the
Marquis of Cholmondeley, Marquis of Kildare, Earl of Gal-
loway, Lord Cloncurry, Lord Sondes, Lord Adare, Captain
and the Misses Codrington, Hon. R. Cavendish, Hon. Lady
Cockerel], Hon. Mrs. Ruahout, Hon. Walter Ponsonby, Lady
Manners, Lady Fanny Howard, Lady C. Douglas, Ladv
Campbell, Lady Elizabeth Clements, Lady Masses-, J. P.
Kay Shuttleworth, Esq., Mrs. Davenport ; -Donald M'Lean,
Esq., M.P. ; Dr. Todd, Captain Codrington, Horsley,
Mus. Bac. A numerous body of the clergy, from all parts of
the country, were likewise present.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM GUNPOWDER.—ThUIidiIy
Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on the
body of Edward Bardwell, aged 19, assistant to a maker of
fireworks, named Clitherow, living in Weaver-street, Beth-
nal-green. Mr. Clitherow stated that on the 7th inst. de-
ceased was engaged in bruising some damp gunpowder in art
iron mortar, having its bottom lined with lead. He had
put in the mortar half a pound of powder, though he had
been ordered to bruise only very small quantities at a time.
'Witness, hearing a sudden explosion, ran into a shed in the
yard in which deceased was at work, and found him lying
on his back dreadfully burned on the face and the upper part
of his person, and his clothes, as well as the shed, on fire.
The flames having been extinguished, deceased was taken
immediately to that hospital. Deceased's father said that
his son told him that he was bruising some combustible com-
position with a pestle and mortar, when attrition, caused by
some species of grit, produced the explosion. Mr. J. Maskew,
house-surgeon, said he saw deceased on his admission, and he
was severely burned in the face, neck, and arms. The usual
remedies were applied without effect, and deceased gradually
sank, and died on Sunday last.—Verdict,' Accidental Death.
Qn Wednesday night Lady Peel held an assembly
at the family residence, in Whitehall-gardens. The Prernier's
mansion was crowded to excess, for there were above six
hundred personages of rank and distinction present. Their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; at-
tended by Baron Knesebeck and Baroness Ahlefeldt, came
from the Ancient Concert about half- past eleven, to honour
her Ladyship by their company. The royal visitors remained
for nearly an hour. When retiring from the saloon, Sir
Robert and Lady Peel accompanied their illustrious guests
to their carriage.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON EPSOM DOWNB.-.-011
Wednesday night last, between 8 and 9 o'clock, an accident
of a most frightful nature occurred to two gentlemen, who
were driving in a gig over Epsom Downs, in the direction of
London. It appears that the gentlemen, whose names we
understand to be Beaumont and Cox,_ and who reside at MIT,
in Yorkshire, were desirous, after the Derby race was over,
of driving over the downs, and having gone rather farther
away than was considered safe, they drove towards London
at a pretty brisk pace • but had not, however, proceededmore
than half a mile on the road, when the horse took friipt at
some trifling noise, and started off at a fearful rate, precipi-
tating the younger of the two (Mr. Cox) with fearful violence
to the ground. Mr. Beaumont, who was driving, kept his
seat until the horse, suddenly turning round short in a diffe-
rent direction, upset the gig, and threw him out with still
greater violence. Mr. Cox, who soon recovered from the
shock, went in quest of his friend, whom he found a short
distance off; lying underneath the gig in an insensible state,
bleeding profusely from a wound in the head. He imme-
diately went to seek for assistance, and, after a short delay,
Mr. Beaumont was conveyed to Epsom, when medical aid
being procured, it was discovered that the severe injuries he
had received would prevent him being removed, and he no,
lies there without the slightest hope being entertained of his
recovery. Up to yesterday afternoon no tidings had been
heard of the horse.

THE ROBBERY AND MURDER IN RATCLITY....."
An inquest was held on Thursday at the Town of Whitby
public-house in Wapping-wall, Lower Shadwell, befOre Mr.
Baker, Coroner, and a jury, on the body of Luke Williams,
aged fifty-eight, late landlord of the Chequers. The me-
dical evidence given before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Norton,
at the Thames-police Court, on the examination of the six
prisoners charged with the robbery and murder of the de-
ceased, was repeated, and Ash, the mother of Mary Ann Ash
and Rosetta Bragger, now in custody, was likewise AT.-
amined. Sufficient was elicited from her to prove that. Wil-
liams had been robbed in the house, of which her daughters,
Nicholson, the milkman, and Richard Bragger, the husband
of Rosetta Bragger, were the inmates ; that the deceased
complained of his loss, and that he was ill-used by notated,
the coal-whipper, and carried home in a state of insensibility.
At the conclusion of this woman's testimony Mr. Baker
again adjourned the inquest until Monday next.
THE CALEDONIAN BALL.—The several members of
our Royal family have been invited by the ladies patronesses
to honour this charitable ball by their presence. The Duke
of Wellington, who for a long series of years has dignified
the ball by his attendance, and all the Foreign Ministers and
their ladies, have likewise been invited, and no doubtl
be present. The Duchess of Sutherland, Duchess of Norfolk,
Duchess of Roxburghe, Countess of Powis, Countess of Rose-
bery, Countess of Kinnoull, Lady Saltoun, Lady Emily Fo-
ley, and many of the ladies patronesses,
_met by appointment
on Tuesday, and the result of the conference was that an
additional issue of vouchers was made, as the demand for
the entree has been so great as to exceed, by some three
hundred, the applications of some previous years. Two bands
are engaged, and a considerable number of flowers; plants,
and exotics are to be supplied for the decoration in the ante,
waiting, and ball rooms.
COMPETING RAILWAYS TO EPSOM.—THE 'ATMO.•
SPHERIC Rmr,wn.y.—Thursday, a Committee of the House
of Commons (Lord Howiek in the chair) decided upon
I granting the Croydon Company's branch railway tb Epsom,
; and on rejecting that of the rival Company, the South-
; Western. The great characteristic of this protracted con-
test is, that the Croydon Company propose to lav down a line
from Epsom to London (a length of twenty-one miles) on
the atmospheric system. Mr. William Cubitt, Mr. Brunel,
Mr. Samuda, Mr. Barry Gibbons, and other eminent engineers,
were examined for the atmospheric plan, and Kr. Robert
Stephenson against it. The subject has excited much inte-
rest in the scientific world; and the committee-room has been
crowded daily, •

Statues and Fountains fritrodeccd, new and extensive Promenades
formed, and the most lavish expenditure in every department,
Neil: evince the Proprietor's anxiety to insure a continuatce of public
ratronage.
