THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.

The Dublin Evening Packet gives the following ac-
count of the farewell benefit of Mr. Henry Bedford,
who will make his first appearance next week at the
Haymarket, as Billy Lackaday, in Sweethearts and
Wives

It is quite true, as the Freeman remarks, that
"nothing ever seen an Dublin in the shape of thea-
trical enthusiasm could equal the reception afforded
by the Queen's Theatre audience last evening to their
favourite, Henry Bedford." To say that the house
was crowded to overflowing would ill express the
literal packing that rendered his farewell benefit a
tribute of which this justly-esteemed favourite may
really feel proud. Hundreds could not gain adialis•
sion, and but one feeling pervaded the entire audience
—a feeling of blended regret at his departure, and
gratification that in his new engagement at the Hay-
marhet Theatre he will-be afforded a wider sphere for
the display of his rare genius. In the course of the
evening Mr. Bedford delivered the following farewell
address, written by J. J. Duggan, Esq., of this
city : Three years have passed since first, a stranger here,
I came before you—shall I say with fear ?
Yes, fear; lest my poor pow'rs should fail to please
Your well-known taste—l did feel ill at ease—
But, from the moment that I made my " bow,"
You kindly cheered me (as you did just now) ;
And, since that hour, I've ever had from you
An Irish welcome, generous, warm, and true.
(Prolonged cheering.)
Believe me, friends, this heart can deeply feel,
Though Thalia's mask its impulses conceal;
And Bedford, the comedian, feels for you
A gratitude sincere, and just, and true.
(Renewed applause.)
Three pleasant years we've laughed together here—
That is, you laughed whenever I was queer—
(Loud laughter and cheers.)
And, having laughed at me for such long while,
To drop a tear would but provoke your smile,
Though 'twere at parting I should let one fall;
And so, there's no use crying after all—(Laughter)—
And yet, to part from those that wo esteem
Is a more trying bus'ness than 'twould seem
To those who know not what strong links there be
Between the public and its protegee.—(Cheers.)
'Tia hard to smile when one is very sad,
And parting from you scarcely makes me glad.
What shall I do? How can I say farewell?
I feel this moment more than I shall tell.
Farewell! farewell! your kindness long shall be
Fresh on the " tablet of my memory."
And should it ne'er be mine again to see
You, my stout henchmen of the gallery;
Or you, kind patrons of the critic pit;
Or you, fair friends, that round the boxes sit;
Yet, in " my mind's eye" shall you all appear;
Whilst
swaft t
your to Erinown
poet a sincere
thus
o s
shall
And then, yes then, I'll fancy I'm still hero,
Dream of the happy time I've spent with you,A n
" My heart, untravalled, fondly turns to thee."
adieu;
speak for me,

COURT CIRCULAR.
OSBORNE, OCT. 17.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness walked this
morning in Osborne Park and grounds.
The Prince of Wales, and younger members of the
Royal Family, walked and rode.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, at-
tended by Baron Knesebeck, arrived at Kew on Wed-
nesday, frem the Continent, and joined their Royal
Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess
Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Meek-
lenburg-Strelitz.
Yesterday the Duke of Cambridge visited her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, at her residence,
Clarence llouse, St. James's.

COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF THREE MA IDENS.—A
most daring burglary was committed at Mallon Cottage,
situated 'about a quarter of a mile from Abbotskerswell,
Damn, on Monday even* last. The proprietor was absent,
and had left the care of the house to his three daughters,
who had just retired to bed when they heard a noise below,
as of ssrne persons breaking into the house. The eldest of
them, about 14 years of age, immediately jumped out of bed,
struck a light, which she gave to her sisters, and arming
herself with two pistols, walked down the ,stairs followed by
her two sisters. On entering the parlour they found every-
thing in confusion, papers lying about, and the desk rifled.
The burglars fled on the entrance of the girl, and the young
lady with the pistols jumped from the parlour window into
the lawn and fired both pistols after them. The thieves had
stolen some money, papers, and plate, but being eager to
get off, dropped some plate in the lawn, which was recovered
again in the morning. Two suspicious looking fellows were
begging at the house in the morning, but they Lave not yet
been apprehended.—Sherborne Journal.
FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE IN THE FULHAM-ROAD..--
Yesterday morning the following serious accident took
place :ss-It appears that the cart of Mr. Oosden, fishmonger,
of Gray's-place, Fulhamsroad, was left standing at the door
unattended by any one but his son, a child of only four years
of age, who was sitting in the cart and holding the reins.
From some unaseertained reason the horse took fright, and
started off in the direction of Marlborough•road, and after
knocking down several individuals in that crowded tho-
roughfare, it came in contact with the carriage of A. W.
Warder, Esq., surgeon, of Onslow-square, in which:was seated
Miss A. Warder, a young lady of about five years of age.
Mr. Warder's groom at the moment of the concussion was
standing at the horse's head; while Mr. Warder was in
attendance on a patient. The result of the collision was
that both the children were violently hurled from their re-
spective seats into the road. It was at first thought that
Miss Warder was killed; but upon examination a very severe
abrasion of the face, and some contusion of the limbs, were
all that could be ascertained. A more wonderful escape was
never witnessed. Mr. Warder's carriage was completely
smashed, the rumble torn off, and the near wheels and
springs entirely destroyed. Mr. Gosden's child, unhappily,
was dreadfully hurt; it was taken up bleeding, and perfectly
insensible, and has, it is feared, sustained some most serious
fractures and injuries to the skill, the amount of which are
not yet ascertained. Had it not been for the presence of
mind displayed by Mr. Warder's groom, who, actively shifted
the position of his horse, both children must hare been in-
evitably killed upon the spot.
THE REFORM MOVEMENT.—It will be seen that
the new Reform campaign commenced in the metropolis on
Monday last, and judging from the space allotted to the pro-
ceedings in the daily journals, it was far more influential in
its character than some editors are willing to admit. After a
laboured attempt to cast ridicule upon the movement, and
.to
stigmatise it as vain and absurd, the Morning Chronicle con-
cludes by admitting that reform is needed, and accuses the
Premier of having trifled with the matter far too long! Let
the Reformers take comfort from this and similar significant
admissions in the Times. A public meeting will shortly be
held in Derby in support of Financial and Parliamentary
Reform, and we hope to have the presence on that occasion
of' Mr. Hume, the veteran Reformer.—Derby Reporter.
TORQUAY.—About NO feet of the sea wall at
Meadfoot was washed down during the late gale, and which
has now been replaced.

BURIED ALlVE.—Yesterday morning information
was sent to Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, of the
death of a man named Michael Cushion. Deceased was at
work with others at a house in South Audley-street, and em-
ployed in digging out a large quantity of earth for the pur.
pose of enlarging the foundation. He had undermined a
considerable way, when another man got on the top of the
ground under which he was at work, and the whole mass
gave way. He was completely buried underneath an im-
mense mass of ground, the other man falling with it on him.
As soon as assistance could be obtained he was dug out, in-
sensible and much injured. He was taken to St. George's
Hospital, and after lingering for a time expired, in conse-
quence of internal injury.
The ex-Secretary of the Treasury, the Right Hon.
Henry Tufnell, and the Attorney-General, Sir J. Ilomilly,
Members for Devonport, will visit that neighbourhood next
reek. They will stay at Saltram, the seat of the Earl of
Morley, and during their visit will be entertained by their
constituents at a public dinner.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
for expoit and 1,000 on speculation. The market was
rather animated. The sales comprised about 5,000
American, 500 Pernam and Maranham at lid. to Sid.,
and 500 Surat.—ln Railway Shares a good business was
done at previous rates.

The Corn Market is steady to-day.
In the markets for Colonial and Foreign Produce the
business done this week has been important, but not so
much publicly as by private sale. The value of Sugar
has been further enhanced, but the accounts from Brasil,
as well as those recently from the West Indies, justify
the impression of large crops. Coffee was very brisk
early in the week, but has become flatter since. The
Indigo auctions have been brought to a close, and, as •
will be observed by the market report, went off very
high. Tea and Tallow have been steady.
The arrival of a steamer at Cowes furnishes later
news from the United States. There are no letters yet
in town, but the commercial reports are favourable, if
we except the statement of a large failure at Boston,
Messrs. Gassetts, Belches, and Co. The Californian
advices are decidedly encouraging.
Hamburgh papers of Friday last give the quotation
for bills on Loudon at 13 si. Stocks and Shares were
better. Coffee had improved, and Sugar was firm.
At Frankfort on the 15th inst. Austrian Metallics
were 781 to 79, and Spanish Three per Cents. 34 toll.
The Amsterdam Bourse on the 16th inst. was buoyant.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 564.
The English Funds have been very steady, though
rather quieter than yesterday. Speculators are tolerably
confident, and seem to look forward to a further ad-
vance, while the rise in the quotations of the Rentes at
Paris has given some stimulus. It is admitted
on the other hand, that German affairs are by no means
promising, and the question is what prospect exists of a
satisfactory issue. It has been reported that the Hol-
stein quarrel may yet be terminated by the intervention
of the allied powers, and that negotiations are already
in progress to that end. Consols have been marked
974 4 for Transfer, and 9714 for November. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99 to 1, and
the Three per Cents. 964 4. Bank Stock has realised ,
210 to 211. Exchequer-bills have been 675. to 705.,
and India Bonds 88s. to 91s. premium, both being firm.
!In the Foreign Market Peruvian Stock has again been
in request. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
marked 82 to 824, and the Deferred 38 to 4. Mexican
aro dull at 314 4. There have been bargains in a secu-
rity scarcely ever dealt in, viz., Guatemala, at 32 to 34.
Buenos Ayres Bonds have been quoted 59, and Brazi-
lian 90. Spaui&h Five per Cents. have realised 184
and Portuguese Four per Cents. 334 1. Russian Four-
, and-a-Hall per Cents. have been 97 to 4, and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51.
The Share Market has not been quite so firm for the
principal lines, but the sales are not large. Midland
have declined to 434, and South-Eastern are fluctuating.
Great Western are much the same, and North-Western
have been rather better. Oxford, orcester, and Wol-
verhampton are still in favour. Foreign Railways are
dull.

HACKNEY CARRIAGES..—We understand that t7s
Commissioners of Police have no power to reduce the or'd
of hackney.carriages. The fares are regulated by the 1 $111,./
2 William IV., c. 22; but it is open to the proprietors, 't
agreement amongst themselves, to establish a lesser scale;
