beg leave to say it is an error: there was some beef
given, and likewise bread, to about 500 persons, but
those were mostly to such persons as had voted for
him, but as to clothing nothing has been heard of it. I
understand Sir T. Wilde has sent 2001. to be given
generally for charitable purposes. You will please.; s

WINTER ASSIZES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—Some of the past Assize Grand Jury, hate put
out a feeler against continuing a winter commission.
If it be somewhat inconvenient for the gentry of tho
grand inquest" to attend a winter assize, a very easy
relief may be found fur them by abolishing the grand
jury system, and, sure, I am, that the public would re-
joice at it.

- I expected the gentry of the grand inquest would find
fault (though their duty is by far less than the petty
jury), and also expected that, "my Lords Judges,' the
" high sheriff," and the gentlemen of the " long robe,"
would put their shoulders to the wheel, and assist in
raising a prejudice against so desirable a thing 113 a

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The first of " Batty's Equestrian Morning Fetes
and Fashionable Day Performances, commencing at
half-past one and terminating at half-past three," was
given yesterday. The spectators were principally
those for whose accommodation the hour was chosen,
viz., the members of the rising generation, who are
now home enjoying the festivities of Christmas, and
seeing the sights of the season. The programme of
yesterday was a good one—there were the first ap-
pearance of M. Pierre, in a novel and olympic act
of horsemanship; Mademoiselle Helene, the celebrated
French equestrian artiste, on a spirited steed in a grace-
ful scene of equitation; M. Genges, the juggler of
Marseilles; Mr. Wells, who introduced two dwarf
well-trained steeds ; the Southern American Minstrels,
Messrs. Woolest, Robbins, Parker, and Ring; Mr. H.
Smith, and the steed Taglioni. After them came a
Polka dance on horseback, by Mr. Newsome and Miss
Isabella, and finally a variety of equestrian quadrilles,
said to be of " the snoyen age," which were capitally
performed both by the horses and riders ; the evolu-
tions being perfectly carried through, and the gallo-
pades in the best style. The audience, which was more
select than tte usual evening audiences at this theatre,
seemed highly delighted, and we have no doubt but
the speculation will answer. The idea of giving day
performances for the juveniles is a capital one, and
we were glad to see that the public supported the
undertaking by a numerous attendance. The theatre
was brilliantly illuminated, as for an evening per-
formance.

CURABILITY OF CONSUMPTION.—Under this title
has just arpeand a letter, addressed to Dr. Forbes,
editor of a medical periodical, and consulting physician
to the Hospital for Consnmption, Brompton. The
author of the letter is 1)r. Cronin, of the Strand Dispen-
sary for Consumption, and if he has dealt with the cele-
brated practitioner above-namLd with considerable seve-
rity, there is abundant reason shown in the letter for the
course pursued in the treatment I)r• Cronin states he has
received at the hands of his orkpol..,:tt. When doctors
differ, who is to decide ?" G/ohe.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII—The work of laying
down the Patent Electric Telegraph on the South-
Western Railway, from London to Gosport, is nearly
completed. The posts for sustaining the wires, which
are tixcd at about fifty yards distance, are put down
nearly the whole distance, and the fixing of the wires is
being rapidly proceeded with. Me cost of the work,
about 24,0001., is, we understand, borne in equal pro-
portions by the Company and by the Board of Admi-
ralty.—liampshire Telegraph.

Those who burn these are recommended to make one trial
whether PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES do not give so much
more light as to be in reality cheaper.

SOUTHIVARK.

The business was opened at this Court by Mr. Edwin,
the chief clerk, reading the order to that effect from the
Secretary of State, and also the boundary comprising the
district.

John Buckley was charged with committing an as-
-fault on James Bryant..
The parties were present at an Irish funeral the pre-
ceiling day, and as soon as the ceremony concluded they,
with several others, adjourned to a public-house, where
they became intoxicated, and this led to a "regular
row." The defendant, who seemed to be the ringleader
in the disturbance, struck the complainant a violent blow
in the mouth.

The defendant begged the Magistrate would make
due allowance for the funeral of a countryman, and said
that it was an " ould Irish custom to take a little
spirits when an ould friend departed this life."
The defendant was fined, and in default he was com-
mitted for 14 days.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

E Italiana in Algieri, one of the most delightful of
Rossini's buffa operas, was produced at this theatre
last evening, in an English dress, under the title of
The Italian in Algiers, with all that minute attention
to the mist en scene for which this management has
ever been so remarkable, and which, by the com-
pleteness which it gives to a dramatic production as
a whole, contributes so essentially to its success. The
following was the cast :—Mustapha (Dey of Algiers)
Alr. P. Corti; Lindor (a young Italian), Mr. Allen ;
faddeo (an Italian, and guardian to Isabella), Mr.
Leffler; Hely, Mr. Mattacks ; Isabella (in love with
Lindor), Madlle. H. Condell; Elvira (wife to the Dey),
Nliss Grant ; Zulma (her attendant), Miss Brentnall.
Of the Lindor of Mr. Allen it is impossible to speak
in terms of too high praise. The delicious aria which
he sings immediately that he comes upon the stage
was given with exquisite delicacy of expression.
There was a thrilling pathos in his tone that re-
minded us not unfrequently of Rubini, and Mr.
Allen did not suffer by the remiuisciences thus ex-
cited. There is no other English tenor singer who
could have given this exquisite morceau so delight-
fully. Throughout the opera he was equally good.
It was evident that he felt, appreciated, and under-
stood the beautiful music of Rossini, and that it was to
him a labour of love to do full justice to it. 111 r. P.
Corti, as the Dey, has taken a giant's stride in
his professional career. He is not only an ad-
mirable buffo, but a very good musician. The
far-famed " Papatari" received full justice at his
hands, and kept the audience in a roar of laughter.
He was well supported by Leffler, who was in excel-
lent voice, and, as Taddeo, was most humorous and
laughter-moving. The part of Isabella was well
sustained by Miss Helen Condell, while Miss Grant,
whom we are glad to see once more on the boards of
this theatre, made an excellent Elvira. Her opening
scene in the second act was most effective. It was
loudly applauded, and narrowly escaped an encore.
Great praise is due to Mr. W. L. Phillips, the chorus
master of this establishment, for the excellent drilling
which he gives his chorus singers, who not only sing
but act, thus adding greatly to the vraisemblance of
the scene. The principal artistes were honoured with
the usual ovation at the fall of the curtain, and it is
needless to add that the opera was completely suc-
cessful.

THE LATE FIRE IN GUILFORD-

STREET.
DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER BODY.

The firemen of the London Brigade, under the direc-
tions of Morris, the foreman of the Holborn Station,
completed their task this morning of turning over the
immense mass of burnt ruins, and on examining a pile of
embers, in the north-western corner of the back parlour,
they discovered the perfect skeleton of a human foot, and
in the course of the morning they ft the shi❑ and
part of the thigh-bone, as well as what spears to be an
arm-bone and part of a scalp. The finding of these re-
mains has strengthened the rumours that there had been
improper conduct on the part of some parties, who had
been plundering Mr. Fairey's wine-cellar. The discovery
has also given rise to the supposition, that a fifth party
must have been in the house for some improper purpose,
although at present it is impossible to conjecture who the
ill-fated person could have been.

INQUEST ON MR. MAY OW, SOLI-

CITOR OF EXCISE.

This morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Mills, the De-
puty Coroner, held an inquest at the Friend in Hand
public-house, Colonnade-mews, Russell-square, oa the
bidy of Mr. Philip Weynell Mayow, aged 73, the well-
knownland respected solicitor of Excise, of No. 54, Guil-
ford-street.

The jury having ♦iewed the body,
Susan Guy stated that she was housemaid to the de-
ceased. On Monday week he had a cold, and had since
remained at home. He was attend'ed by 1)r. Latham.
On Friday evening, at nine o'clock, she last saw him
alive in his bed-room, and he was then more cheerful
than usual ; and on Saturday morning she entered the
room for the purpose of lighting the fire, and became
alarmed at her master not speaking to her. She went
and looked at him, and thought he was dead, and im-
mediately alarmed the house, and sent for medical as-
sistance

Dr. Latham, of Grovenor-street, stated that Le at-
tended the deceased from Monday week for influenza
Witness had examined the body this morning, and found
the heart of the deceased ♦ery small, and soft. He would
not say that the late fire did not make any impression
upon the mind of the deceased, as he was a kind-hearted
man, although possessing great force of character.—

Company making its investments wholly in England. The Company
is enabled securely_ to grant these favourable terms from the advan-
tage it possessed of investing a portion of its hinds at a high rate
of interest.
