HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Her. Majesty's Theatre will open in the first week
of March. Arrangements and engagements are still
pending of .the highest interest, but what has been
already effected is of such nature and magnitude as
to justify this preliminary announcement, in the con-
fident reliance of the general gratification it will occa-
sion. The direction of her Majesty's Theatre, most
anxiously alive to the duty of maintaining its old
e. established character as the greatest lyrical institution
of Europe, had, in preparing for the present season,
directed its most strenuous and unremitting exer-
tions to those points in which, owing to the unavoid-
able circumstances of the times,the greatest deficiency
has shown itself in all, and particularly in Italia:,
• lyrical theatres: The monotony arising from the eon-
stantrepetition ofthe same works, and from the absence
,3/4 of new compositions of sufficient pretensions, has been
hitherto the most constant and insuperable subject of
. regret. It is, therefore, with unqualified satisfaction
announced that this great desideratum has been ac-
complished most triumphantly and beyond all previ-
ous hope, not only by the revival of neglected works
•% of the first masters, under the most novel and propi-
tious circumstances, but by the composition of operas
% of the highest possible promise, totally new, and to be
• produced for the first time this season. The names
of the principal operas, and the order in which they
will be produced, will be the following :
The short season before Easter will begin with the
performance of Mayer's celebrated and highly drama-
tic opera Medea, of which that celebrated prima
donna, and universal and much respected favourite of
,% the public, Madame • Pasta, whose"triumphs in this
,41 part are on indelible record, will eome over purposely
to watch the wise en scene for the re-appearance of her
great pupil Mdlle. Parodi (to whom her lyrical mantle
has so justly devolved.) The next opera performed
before Easter will be one never as yet produced in
i!if England, La Prigione di Edimburgo, founded on!Sir
Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian. This remark-
able work is the chef d'oeuvre of Ricci, the author of
Scaramuccia, Chiara di Rosenberg, and so many other
1% successful operas composed in the purest and highest
classical taste, and performed with the most unquali-
%
s fled success in Italy, France, and Germany. It is
ta with unalloyed satisfaction announced that this emi-
,% nen t composer will visit London to place his opera upon
13.4 the stage, and conduct it for the first night. After
- Easter, the subscribers to her Majesty's Theatre will
be gratified by the production of works of still
• greater promise and magnitude. Among the first to
be produced will be the noble composition of that en-
chanting composer M. Auber, a totally new production
17344% of his universally recognised genius, an opera seria,
17 entitled l'Enfant Prodigue, and about to be produced
' at the Academie de Musique. A distinguished poet,
contemporaneously has
connteM. Gianone, has written an Italian libretto almost
thelis
visit
French
England
tMhe. A
, production of this opera. Immediately afterwards,
to contrast with this work, and as affording a singu-
se wdith to
larly suitable and felicitous part for the rentrie of that
great public favourite, Signor Lablache, an opera
buffa will be produced which has never been enacted
in England, but which has for years been known to
% all professed dilettanti, and which has enjoyed in Ger-
many the highest possible success, entitled 11 Burgo-
ntestre di Saardam. The libretto of this opera is
taken from the well-known and favourite French
vaudeville.
An invitation has been addressed to the celebrated
author of this opera, Herr Lortzing, and hopes are
Ice entertained that he will come to London and direct
the production of this work upon the stage of her Ma-
jesty's Theatre. Another work of the greatest mag-
-4 nitude, and of immense expectations, written by a
composer of the highest and noblest poetical inspire-
-114 tion, whose operas are now as triumphantly performed
in every country as in his own, and whose smaller
works have lately experienced an enthusiastic recep-
tion in England, will be among the new pro-
- ductions. M. llalevy is engaged in writing an
too opera expressly adapted to the troupe and the stage
of her Majesty's Theatre. The dramatic portion is
written by the most successful dramatist of the age,
M. Scribe, and the Italian version by a distinguished
poet, M. Gianone. The subject and the ruling
thoughts, the dramatic situations as far as lyrical
exigencies would allow, are taken from a poem
which has been the subject of the deepest admiration
for successive ages, The Tempest of Shakspere,
which its immortal author palpably allied to a lyrical
intention, and which has always been produced, in
England, partly in a lyrical form. This new open+,
La Tempesta, in which M. Hal6vy has drank deep
of the inspiration of our great countryman, and io-
dited his strains with more than wonted enthusiasm,
will be produced in May, 11. Scribe and M. Halevy
being engaged to come purposely to London for the
occasion. The opera will be mounted with the ut-
most research and new effects, in harmony with its
fairy-like conception. Of the power with which it
will be cast a sufficient idea may be formed, when it
is known that Madame Sontag will be the heroine,'
and Signor Lablache, Caliban. Another pleasing
novelty as regards the Italian stage, which will be
produced during the sneer), is 11 Domino Nero,.
the Italian version of M. Auber's most popular and
universally-admired comic opera Le Damao )Voir.
Is consequence of its immense success when lately
executed in Paris by some of the principal artistes of
her Majesty's Theatre, it is in contemplation to pro-
duce the chef d'avre of that great classic master,
Gluck, the admiration of all real dilettanti, and en-
titled Ifigenia in Aulide. As many of the best
works of the old repertoire as time and circum-
stances will admit, will be repeated. Other operas
will be produced, such as are adapted to
display the gifts of a number of artistes of
established reputation, added to the troupe,
and of new and most promising young artistes hie-
engaged this season. The great prima donna, Ma
dame Sontag, will not only re-appear in her former
most successful impersonations, but likewise in Don
Giovanni, in' Lucia, Puritani, Elisir d' Amore, and
Don Pasquale, whilst, if time should allow, those
g-neglected operas of Rossini, II
atilda Shabran, will be revii'ed.
ic•ivoonuterioteriananddlAoin
It is with real and deep gratification that the direc-
tion of her Majesty's Theatre has found that such is
the credit and confidence in its intentions, produced
by the experience of its past efforts and general con-
duct, that shortly after the close of the theatre, and
inquiry as to the programme of the pre-
sent season, new subscribers have presented them-
ss ithout any
selves, amongst those distinguished personages who
enjoy most justly universal respect. The direction
ventures respectfully to hope that this anticipated
view of the programme of the present season will
prove that the utmost exertions have been made to
merit the confidence so kindly accorded to the estab-
'ishment.

[ADVEETISLMENT.]—THE TEETH AND GENERAL
HEALTH.—It may fairly be said, the state of the Teeth
depends greatly upon the state of the bodily health,
and the state of the bodily health depends greatly upon
the state of the Teeth. The Homeopathic principle of
infinitesimal doses in all cases of weakness and nervous-
ness, is no doubt the right one, as nature is not then
overpowered, but assisted. The United Dentists' Tooth
Powder carries this out to its utmost extent, as some of
the most strengthening articles in the Materia Medics
are contained in it, and a small portion being gradually
abwrbed every day, not only strengthens the gums, but
the whole system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses the
teeth, gradually rembving the tartar, purifies the breath,
then by preventing infection, and corrects acidity in both
mouth and stomach.—Address, Russ and Sons, 119 and
120. BiAopsgatc-Areet, Londor.
BEEKS ASSIZES.—Last night's Gazette contains an
Crier is Council directing the ensuing assizes to be held
at Abingdon, and not at Reading.

SADLE R'S
WELLS THEATRE.
A new five act play under the.title of Retribution,
was produced here on Monday night, with unequivocal
success. The author is Mr. George Bennett, the tra-
gedian. The playis by no means free from the con-
ventionalities of the modern stage, but they are never
thrust prominently forward, and are always made
subservient to the chief points of interest, and al-
though the incidents are complicated, and there is too
frequent a reference to antecedents, yet the plot is
extremely interesting. Retribution is a tale of the
" Cavaliers and Roundhoad,." The principal character
is Sir Baldwin Briarly (Mr. George Bennett), a
villain and a Roundhead, and his great enemy is
Ralph de Lacy, a cavalier who has assumed the name
of Blackbourn (Mr. Phelps). De Lacy was formerly
the owner of large estates, and Sir Baldwin Briarly
to possess himself of them, excites the cavalier
to jealousy of his wife's honour, and
saupspereicotdthhaatvinths jealousygi arrivedw
is well founded, De Lacyhen there is some cause to
destroys his wife and at the same time her brother,
whom he has been taught by Baldwin to believe is
her paramour. After this deed, De Lacy flies the
country, leaving the author of his misfortune to
continue his career of villany. Baldwin then con-
trives a deep scheme to bring about a marriage be-
tween his only son, a youth some seventeen years
' and repre-
of age, and Alice Ruby (Miss Glyn), the daughter
soefn tSs it tro hßoberte unsuspecting
taken R apbl ya
e(
Mi
girl the improvement which
has recently n r h s .fYorotuunnegse. Alice, how-
ever)
has been taught to regard Edwin (son to Bald-
win) only in the light of a brother, and she has
pledged her love to Philip, a foundling whom her
father has fostered. At this juncture De Lacy, or
Blackbourn, as he appears in the play, having been
many years absent in foreign parts, returns, and his
chief object is to seek out his ruthless betrayer and
avenge his wife's death. He is now disguised as a
trooper, and his conduct exercises so powerful an in-
fluence over the mind of Baldwin that he orders him
to be chained in a dungeon attached to his castle.
Whilst he is thus confined a scene takes place between
Blackbourn and Baldwin which leads to the discovery
that the former is the possessor of certain important
documents in which the interests of the latter are most
deeply involved. Blackbourn is then liberated, and
in the course of events he avows himself as the
injured De Lacy, who has been driven from
home as the murderer of his own wife. Baldwin is
still determined to make Alice Ruby his daughter-in-
law, and in ordar to effect this object he causes Sir
Robert Raby to be imprisoned upon a charge of
having threatened mischief to the king. He
_more-

over concocts a tale that Philip is the brother of Alice,
and he assures her that the only means of restoring the
happiness of her home, of preserving her honour, and
saving the life of his son (who has been stricken down
by grief and disappointment) would be to becon
his daughter-in-law. At the moment he imagine.
that his proudest wish is likely to be fulfilled
Blackbourn again appears, and through the instru-
mentality of the documents already mentioned, dis-
closes the machinations of Baldwin, who falls speech-
less ; his son is removed from the chapel where the
wedding was to have taken place, and Blackbourn
avows himself as the long-veiled De Lacy and the
father of Philip. This is the author's tale of " Retri-
bution " worked out to its climax, Considerable power
is shown in the development of the two character',
Baldwin and Blackbourn, and their various phases
are most artistically discriminated. Baldwin is a
part by no means new to the stage, but the objects
of his ambition are displayed with so much origi-
nality and dramatic effect as to give the character
the charm of novelty. Mr. George Bennett's Baldwin
was a powerful piece of acting. Mr. Phelps played
Blackbourn with a rugged manliness, which, as op-
posed to the cowardice of his betrayer, won .for him
a large share of applause. At the end of the third
act his performance was so powerful that Mr.
Phelps was compelled to appear before the curtain at
the close of the scene. Miss Glyn played with
much feeling and energy. The other characters were
very well filled.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
An inquest was held at the Fox and Hounds
public-house, before Mr. Carter, the coroner, and a
highly respectable fury, on Wednesday last, upon
the body of John Burley, who met his death in the
manner detailed below, on Monday last. The first
witness called was Elizabeth Burley, the widow of the
deceased. She appeared to be sutferiog severe mental
affliction from the loss she had sustained. Upon being
sworn she stated :—The deceased was my hu.le n l ,
he was gardener to Mr. Teulon, of Tenchley Park,
Limpsfield. O❑ Monday morning we left home to
visit our daughter, who had been very seriously ill,
i London. When we got to Croydon, we let% the
horse and cart at the Swan and Sugar Loaf, and pro-
ceeded on to London by railway. Upon our return
in the afternoon we took the train at London-bridge.
It was the quarter before five o'clock Epsom
express train. We entered the last carriag►e
which was a second-class one. The train
stopped at Forest Hill, and other stations on the op-
posite side of the carriage where we sat. We arrived
at Croydon, but were not aware that we had done
so. Just as we were arriving at the station, I asked
where we were ? and deceased said he thought it
could not be Croydon. I was sitting by his side
whin we arrived at the station, but by some sudden
impulse I then moved opposite to him. The train
was by this time in motion again. Deceased
looked out, and said, "it is Croydon Station ;" he
jumped up, and putting his head out of the window
on my right side, he said somothing, but I could not
catch what it.was, when the door suddenly opened
and he disappeared. I just caught a glimpse of him
when a train passed by. I was taken on to Car-
shalton, and then returned to Croydon, where I
first found out what had occurred. In answer to
questions from the jury, the witness said her husband
had travelled by railway three or four times before,
but she was not aware whether he knew of the ex-
tension of the line to Epsom. The side of the car-
riage he went from was on his left side, so that he
would fall on the up line of rails. Witness could not
say whether the door was fastened, but she was cer-
tain that no one got out on that side. Deceased was
perfectly sober. Mr. James Bryant, a gentleman
residing at Sutton, said he came from London in
the same carriage with the deceased. The
train stopped at Croydon, and several persons got out
of the carriage. I noticed the last witness and two
men were sitting at the other end of the carriage,
and heard the word "Croydon" mentioned. The
moment this was uttered I saw one of the men rise and
look out of the window on my left side. (I was sit-
ting with my back to the engine). The door opened
immediately, and he went out. Ido not know whe-
ther the door wasfastened, but he leant out of the win-
dow (in my opinion) as if to open the door. To the jury
—I heard the usual call at the station of " Croydon.
The train stopped there a minute and a half, or two
minutes. I think the deceased got up under a sudden
impulse to get out, and that the accident did not
occur from any carlessness on the part of the railway
company. After other evidence the room was
cleared, and the jury returned a verdict of " Ac-
cidental death," without imputing blame to
any party. Mr. Russell attended to watch the
proceedings at the request of Mr. Teulon, who
informed our reporter that the unfortunate deceased
had been in the service of himself and his father for
23 years, and was an excellent and quiet man, that he
had left a family consisting of nine children, eight of
them under the age of 14 years. It was mentioned
that a subscription would be set on foot
for the family, the Rev. Mr. Stewart, Rector of
Limpsfield, having kindly consented to receive such
contributions. We have been informed the coroner
and jury very liberally subscribed 1/. lls. 6d. before
they separated, and one of the jury collected a fur-
ther sum at the Greyhound Inn the same evening.—

HEALTH of LO2VDON. during the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
In the week ending last Saturday, the deaths regis-
tered in the metropolitan districts were 957, a number
which exhibits a considerable decrease on the returns of
the last two months, December and January, during
which the deaths were usually above 1,050, and in one
week were 1,156. The result is also favourable as
compared with the average, corrected for increase of po-
pulation, of corresponding weeks in ten previous years,
1840-1, which is 1,144, showing a decrease of 187. The
sudden decline in the mortality from diseases of the
respiratory organs is remarkable; bronchitis, pneumo-
nia, and asthma have numbered in the last thre e
weeks successively 237, 234, and 165 deaths; the average
for last week, derived from returns of the same week in
ten years, is 187, or, if corrected for population, 204.
But the deaths from phthisis (or consumption) have
scarcely varied; they have been in the last three weeks
128. 137, and 135 respectively; the average of last week
fur this disease is 155. The deaths enumerated in the
zymotic or epidemic class of diseases were 152; the cor-
rected average is 245. Small-pox was fatal last week to
8 children, scarlatina to 11, hooping•cough to 36, measles
to 18—all of these epidemics being under the average,
and the first two being much less fatal than usual.
Disrrhces was fatal in 20 cases: in the corresponding
weeks of ten years the deaths from it have ranged from
3 to 32, and show a decided tendency to increase in
late'. years. No deaths occurred in the week from
cholera. From typhus there were 27, a comparatively
light mortality from this cause. From influenza there
%ere 2 deaths, from erysipelas to, from cancer 17 deaths.
of which all except three occurred to women; and 9
women died after childbirth. In 2 persons fatal disease
is stated to have been the result of intemperance. The
death of a woman of 47 years, which occurred in
January, was accelerated by "destitution and exposure
to extreme cold." She had been previously removed to
Bethnal-green workhouse.
The mean height of the barometer in the week at the
Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was 29.457 he The
mean temperature was 44 dug., showing an excess of
10.7 deg. on the average of the same week of seven
years. It was higher than the average throughout
tee week. Ort Sunday the mean temperature was 12
deg. ahoy, the average, anti on Friday and Saturday 14
deg. above it.

TII.kIIES NAVIGATIAN.—It bus been found, since
the establishment of railways, that the lock tolls on the
river Thames have fallen off to a very considerable ex-
tent. The Commissioners of the Thames Navigation
have just announced that they consider it " expedient, as
the best means of retaining and augmenting the trade,
to reduce the old lock dues and the Commissioners'
tolls, upon the navigation, 20 per cent, from the first day
of April next." An adjourned general meeting of the
Commissioners is immediately to be held, at which the
proposition is to be brought forward. It will be neces-
sary, however, before the contemplated reduction can
take place, that the bondholders and others holding se-
curities upon the tolls, should concur in the proposed
reduction, and also in the reduction of the interest up()n
their respective securities, for should the tolls be reduced
20 per cent, it will be necessary, as a matter of course.'
that the interest upon the bonds and securities should
Lc correspondingly reduced. The bondholders have been
summoned to attend the meeting c f the Commissioners,
in order that their sentiments and feelings may be
clearly ascertained on the subject.
REVENUES or MISSIONALY SOCIETIES.—The Lon-
doss Missionary Sccie:y commenced its operations in
1800, and up to 1849 it had expended 1,922,346/. 18s. 2d.
The Baptist Missionary Society commenced also in 1800,
and up to 1842 it had expended 620,431/. I Is. 6d. The

In the Registrars' reports we find that Mr. Leonard
of Charing-cross (sub-district) reports the death of a
boy of eight years, in Princes-court, who died of " gas-
tritis after eleven days' illness, having been seized and-
deuly with intense pain, vomiting and purging, after
eating some pie crust picked up in the atrt etc" He
further adds, " this child and another (who partook of
a smaller quantity) were similarly affeeted. The former
was taken, in the first place, to a public institution,
and the symptoms were attributed by his friends to
a fall ; but on the day of his death the other fact was
communicated, and a post-mortem examination proved
that he had been poisoLei. The other child is slowly
recovering."
With reference to three deaths at 2,3, and 8 Church-
lane, St. Giles's, Mr. Simpson makes the following ob-
servations:—

LONDON AND NORTII- WESTERN RAILWAY.—
HONESTY REWARDED.—It appears the number of ar-
ticles returned by the sixty-seven cabs employed at the
Euston-square station, for the past year, is 381, consist-
ing chiefly of carpet-bags, wrappers, coat, umbrellas,
sod money. Of the articles 115 were claimed by the
owners; the remaincle: has been deposited at the Ex-
cise-offce, according to law. The tinance-committee of
the London and North-Western Company have given.
" as a,mark of the directors' approval of their conduct,"
a gratuity to twelve cf the men who returned money
paid to them in mistake.

" I cannot refrain from again calling attention to the
present state of Church-lane, Carrier-street, and the ad-
jacent courts, which are densely populated, and inha-
bited principally by poor Irish people, may of whom
are in a starving condition, while the malaria arising
from their offensive streets and houses, for want of
sewers, drains, water, and ventilation, is productive of
disease. Scarcely a weak elapses throughout the year
that a death is nut registered in Church lane, and I have
this week (when the deaths in the metropolfs are below
the average) to record three---one at No. 2, a second at
No. 3, and a third at No. 8. This cannot be wondered
at when we find things allowed to continue as formerly.
From want of privies, the night-soil and decayed vege-
tables are strewed from one end of the lane to the other
till removed by the street orderlies; and so long as this
is permitted you cannot fail to have disease amongst the
inhabitants, who are sunk in the lowest depths of misery.
I should have expected that something would have re-
sulted from the publicity given to the report of the Sta-
tistical Society of London when they visited this horrid
and most filthy locality."

- FREE TRADE IN WATEE.—A gratuitous lecture,
the first of a series, was delivered on Saturday evening,
by Mr. J. Aclaud, in the largo ccncert-room of the
Princess's Theatre, on "the character and of of the
existing water monopoly," which was respectably at-
tended, there being, a greater portion of the time, up-
wards of upwards of 600 persons in the room. The
lecturer expressed his firm conviction that this great
metropolis would eventually be principally supplied, by
means of the Artesian system, with pure water from the
chalk formation, which substrates, to a considerable ex-
tent, what is called the London basin.
SALMON FISUINGS.—We are glad to be able to re-
port an almost unprecedenteily successful opening of
the season, both on I)ee and Don. At the various sta-
tions of the former river upwards of 1,000 fine fish
have been taken. Twenty-five were taken out of a bag
net, at the mouth of the Dee, on the opening day. Gen-
tlemen who prefer catching their own fish have also
found profitable employment. On the Ness, the Spey,
and other northern rivers, the season, notwithstanding
the heavy floods, has commenced propitiously, and the
Montrose Review records the take in that quarter as
being a fair average.—Aberdeen Herald.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE BY A COMPOSITOR.
—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr.
Bedford, at the St. George's Hospital, Hyde-park Cor-
ner, on view of the body of John Walker, aged 44, a
compositor, who committed self-destruction under the
following very determined circumstances:—The evidence
proved that the deceased was employed for many years
at the establishment of the United Service Gazette,
and he had also worked upon several of the morning
papers. He had lately been employed by
Schultz and Co., the foreign printers, in Poland-street,
Oxford-street, Oxford-street, and on last Saturday weekf h.ote

but he was compelled to do it, as he had been in great
agony all the week." The deceased was speedily
placed in a cab, and on being removed inside the
hospital be was found to be quite dead. Mr. Francis, the
house surgeon, said the wounds in the deceased's throat
were not sufficient to cause death, and from the appear-
ance of the stomach and the intestines, he was of opinion
that the deceased had taken some corrosive poison which
had caused death. The jury then adjourned the inquiry
for the purpose of having the contents of the deceased's
stomach analysed.

TRUE CAUSE of DELAY in FINISHING
THE NEW HOUSE of COACMOIVS.
Members who introduced the " tittering" and "'much
laughter" of Monday night, and shrugged their shoulders
to express their belief that under the Present dirpction
they never would get into their new quarter!, surely
cannot know the real facts of the case. They c&ntiot be
aware that the fault is their own, and solely. .their
.own;
they can scarcely appreciate the injury they are doing
the contractor, and the loss which will ultimately fall on
the public. Not very long ago the Government spent
at least 20,000 L in the erection of workshops at Thames-
bank, with provision of gas, water, and costly machinery,
to admit of greater rapidity in the progress of the works:
the machinery is silent, the shops empty, the expenditure
lying waste, and here the contractor has no less than
fourteen thousand pounds' worth of materials, titaber and
deals, wainscot, &c., purchased through the necessity of
providing seasoned stuff for what 'was anticipated to go
on, and which have been lying there and spoiling for
four years. At this time, perhaps, he could buy them
20 per cent. cheaper, than be did then, to say nothing of
the interest of money on the amount laid by. Quarries
were leased, horses and plant bought, and other :mea-
lsary steps taken to carry on the work as it ought to be
done. The loss caused by the delay may be estimated.
His establishment is of course partly broken up, and
what is greatly to be deplored, a large number of skilled
workmen. educated to what was required, are dispersed
north and south. Looked at every way, the results of
the course which has been pursued are seen to be bad.
and we would very seriously urge on the attention of
Government, the importance of doing differently in' fu-
ture and proceeding vigorously with this great work:
employment is wanted, loss is caused by delay—nothing
can be gained by it ; enormous rents are being paid
which might be saved, and the dignity of the country
Is in a degree compromised. Let a fund be raised for
the purpose, to be paid off by annual grants for, say,
twenty years, or provide the money in any other way,
and there will then be little further opportunity, we ven-
ture to assert, for " much laughter," when the progress
of the new Houses is referred to.—Builder.

DIAMOND DUST.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
A fool is of service to a wise man, but Icarus nothing
7rom him.

Physic for the most part is nothing else but the sub•
stitute of exercise or temperance.
The regard we show economy is like that Re show an
old aunt, who is to leave us something at last.
Nothing moves the masses mere than the exhibition
of deep feeling. It speaks a language which the very
humblest can understand, and challenges a response which
not even the most callous are disposed to withhold.
Youth, enthusiasm, and affection, resemble three days
of spring time; let ns not, therefore, complain of their
short duration, but endeavour to enjoy them.
Blame not before you examine the truth: understand
first, and then rebuke.

HOLYHEAD, FEB. 9.—Last Friday night, at half-
past ten o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out in the
house and shop of Jones and Evans, drapers, Market-
street, which threatened destruction to the whole 'urea,
but the wind fortunately being moderate, it was kept
down, through the exertions of the inhabitants and with
the assistance of two fire-engines from her Majesty's
dockyard, which were on the spot soon after the fire
was discovered, by order of Commander Fraser, the
superintendent. The shop goods are all destroyed, aid
very little of the furniture has been saved. The family
bad a narrow escape for their lives.
ROYAL LONDON OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.—On
Monday the annual general meeting of this charity was
held at the Hospital, Blom6eld-►treet, Moorfields—the
Rev. John Russell, D.D., presiding. From the medical
report it appeared that the total number of out-patieete
for the year 1849 was 8,418; being an increase over the
preceding year of 36. Those received into the hospital
amounted to 268—making the number of in and out-
patients 8,686. The financial sheet showed the receipts
to have been on the whole 1,539/.; of which 2651. re-
sulted from dividends, and 1,2731. from donations and
subscriptions. The sum invested in various securities
was 8,379 L The report was adopted, the name of Sir
John Poland added to the committee for the year en-
suing, auditors elected, and thanks voted to the medical
staff, after which the meeting broke up.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A CLERGYAIAN.--AS the
Rev. John Lowe, rector of Ardley, Oxon, was proceed-
ing on horseback between that !Arica and the neighbour-
iug village of Middleton, the horse, a young spirited `
animal, became very restive, and commenced rearing and
plunging furiously. Mr. Lowe, who is somewhat ad-
vanced in years,:twatu of the imminent danger he was
placed in, endeavoured to retain his seat as much as pos-
sible, but at length the animal reared and fell back to
the ground. Tho reverend gentleman was thrown with
considerable violence, and sustained internal injuries of
a serious character from the animal falling upon him.
When the occurrence took place, being some distance
from any dwelling, some titre elapsed before he could
obtain the requisite assistance to convey him home. Not
the slighteat hopes were held out of his recovery. The
sad event has cast a gloom over the whole of the parish,
from the estimation in which the reverend gentleman is
held. Mr. Lowe has held the living of Ardley for a pe-
riod of 35 years, having been presented to it in 181 b by
the Duke of Marlborough .—Bucks Paper.
MUSICAL GOSSIP.—The death of the popular
singer Alizard, from a disease of the heart,
has caused a great sensation at Paris. Alizard
succeeded Lcvasseur as principal bass at the
Academie Royale do Musique. Ile had one of the
finest voices ever heard. Carlotta Grisi gave a series
of performances the week before last at the Bristol
Theatre. From Bristol the beautiful and accomplished
danseuse was, we believe, bound for Dublin. The
French papers inform us that Madlle. Julian Van
Gelder is re-engaged by Mr. Lumley for the ensuing
season. Mr. Lumley is still in Paris, where Madame
Sontag has gone to join hits. Rumours of a series of
concerts, in which that celebrated lady will take
a principal part both in Paris and Brussels, aro
abroad. Madlle. Ernesta Grisi, sister of Carlotta Grisi,
recently appeared at the Theatre Italian, as Malcolm in
La Donna del Logo. According to the Revue et Gazette
Musicale she was exceedingly well received. Mr.
Frederick Gye is gone to Paris to engage, as we hear, a
tenor for the opening of the Royal Italian Opera, in
Gustave 11,e Paid. Alboui has been singing at Geneva
and Lyons to overflowing asiliences with immense suc-
cess.—Musical

THE WORKING MAN'S WORST ENEMIES.—The

activity abound in interesting matter. The
