FISHER'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

This number opens with a paper intended to prove
the " Prosperity and Splendour of England not dis-
crepant with the Power and Jurisdiction of France."
The article is a good one, but the difficulty is to get
both nations to he of one opinion on the matter. The
other papers are varied, but all bearing on colonial
matters, emigration, &c., are not so generally
interesting.

SIMMONI)S'S COLO!' lAI, MAGAZINE.
Lieutenant Thomas Lutter, of the 67th Bengal
Regiment, contributes to this Number a paper on the
" Colonization of Algeria by France," which is re-
plete with information of a most valuable character,
and is well worthy the study of all who take an
interest in the subject of colonization. Mr.
M'Cornbie's " Sketches of an Australian Chief" is
interesting, as the portrait of the physical and in-
tellectual 'eatures of a race which is rapidly becom-
ing extinct. The remainder of the papers are of the
average degree of merit.

Mr. Winkworth, now Landing Surveyor at Rams-
gate, is to he Comptroller at Portsmouth, and Mr.
George Gwythir, First Clerk at Milford, to be promoted
to the vacancy at Ramsgate.
We understand that the situation of Collector of
Customs at Dartmouth, having become vacant by the
death of Mr. Brooking, thy• office will be filled by Mr.
Moody, now Comptroller of the Customs at Portsmouth.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Fin. 24.

—There has been a steady demand for flannels, without
any change in the rates from those of the last two weeks.
The wool market continues rather dull, and prices re•
main the same without any likelihood of advance,—

TALLOW.

Notwithstanding the increased delivery, and the firmness in the
prices at St. Petersburgh for the autumn, there is a further depres-
sion in prices here, both on the spot and for delivery forward. Or-
dinary Y.C., can be obtained easily at 39s ; but really flue with diffi-
culty at 395. 6d. Something has been done during the week for
March and April, under 395. In new Y.C. there are sellers at
39s 3d to 38s per ewt. Town Tallow is steady and rather firmer.

WOOL DIA.REET.
Only about 1,000 bales of Wool have been imported during the
past week. Although there is only a moderate amount of business
passing in Foreign and Colonial Wools, prices may be considered
about stationary. English Wools are in better request, and, in some
instances, higher rates have been obtained by the holders, arising from
the comparatively small stocks on hand.

...HORRIBLE DlscovEnr.—On Saturday much ex-
citement prevailed at Kensington, in consequence of the
bodies of two newly-born infants having been found within
100 yards of each other, and one of them in the common
sewer. It appears that for some days past the drain in Sad-
broke-place, Notting-hill, having been stopped up. informa-
tion of the fact was conveyed on Friday to the parochial
authorities, who gave orders for the discovery and removal
of the cause. Accordingly some labourers repaired thither,
and after digging to the sewer, were horrified at finding the
impediment to be the dead body of a female child, with only
one arm, the missing one haying evidently been gnawed
away by rats, which vermin had 'also frightfully disfigured
other parts of the body. The deceased Infant wu imme-
diately taken to the workhouse, and shortly afterwardi, as a
labouring man, residing at Notting-hill, was passing through
a street leading to Ladbroke-square, he saw something
wrapped up in a white rag, lying in the middle of the road.
In hopes he had found a prize, he took it up, when? on open-
ing the wrapper, he saw the 'body of a male infant, qpitp
dead. That was also carried to the workhouse, where both
await an inquest, before which takingplace, no doubt, it will
be ascertained whether or not either was born alive.
We understand that the situation of Collector of
P4stoms at Dartmouth, having become vacant by the
°death of Mr. Brooking, the office will be filled 'by Mr.
noiv Comptroller of the Custoito at Portsmouth,

THIRD EDI'

" THE SUN."

We have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
etgl Atrther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
offk, fee) being made for NOT supplying the west or Third Edition.
This Edition enntabu the Latest News : Parliamentary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official
Prices of Shares in Railways, ckc. &c.—The Betting at Tattersalrs on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proeeecliws in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other
news arriving in London et ter three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Second or Evening Edition goes to press.
In distant parts cif the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
novas IN ADVANCS, a matter cif importance to those who want early
Intelligence.
In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, dx. Av., will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRTES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 In use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Clnb-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, /aid which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Denies's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it it necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

Testimonials frem the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be frrwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

THE POLYTECHNIC REVIEIV.

Though the useful in this work prevails over the
amusing, yet it generally contains much that may be
perused to advantage. For instance, the series of
papers (concluded in this number) oa "Projectile
.Weapons and Explosive Compounds," have been the
best we have seen on the subject, and do the greatest
credit to the research of Mr. Scoffern, the author of
them. The feature this month is a paper on Austin's
patent fur raising sunken vessels, which is to he used
by a company for the purpose of rescuing from old
_Neptune some of the many rich morsels he has en-
gulphed. We heartily wish the plan success. The
following paragraph furnishes a tempting precedent
for the speculation, which may serve to balance the
unfortunate business of Lo Telemaque and the French
adventurers

" In the year 1683 (about a century after the first
exhibition of the diving• bell in Europe before the Em-
peror Charles V. of Germany) William Phipps, founder
of the noble he= of Mulgrave and Normanby, formed

a subscription, to which the famous General Monk,
Duke of Albemarle, largely contributed, for searching
and unloading a Spanish galleon, sunk about forty-five
years previously, on the coast of Hispaniola, (St. Do-
mingo.) After one or two failures, Mr. Phipps suc-
ceeded, and returned in 1687 to England, with treasure
amounting to 300,0001. sterling. The tenth part accrued
to the King: the Duke of Albemarle's share was 90,000/.
and subscribers of 1001. received 10,0001. each from the
adventure."

GEORGE CRUIKSHANK'S TABLE BOOK.

The frontispiece of the present number, entitled
" The Folly of Crime," is a work of the very highest
order of art, and is alone worth double the price of
the book. The letterpress illustration, although good,
is scarcely worthy of the picture; but it -would re-
quire the pen of a John Bunyan to do justice to the
genius displayed by Cruikshank in this picture. The
remaining illustrations are redolent of fun—such
sketches as Cruikshank alone can produce—witness
his Alexander on Bucephalus, hi; illustration of the
Stage Ladies'-maid, and of the Music-master in China.
The best literary artiches of the number are the New
Edition of Lempriere, by the Editor, and the sketch
of the Stage Ladies'-maid.

fore recommend it to the reader entire. There is
room only for a few lines of poetry, addressed to an
old friend, which paint with melancholy truth the
• ravages of time:—
" We will not meet again, old friend of minel
Much of life's beauty bath already past,
And now I would not willingly resiau
The spell thy memory can about me cast.
What I hive been to thee, and thou to me,
Even since those old days wherein we met,
We ne'er could be again, if each should see
How little of the past remaineth yet.
" No,-no! It were not well to learn how strange,
How all unlike thy heart and mine have grown;
To feel and know how sorrowful a change
Time and the wprld have wrought; weeping to own
The fairest vision of our lives have fled.
I know we are not as we were; I know
How much, alas, of my past self is dead!
Thelefore, old friend, we'll meet no more below!

How Lave the depths of bitterness been stirr'd
Within my :mil since those departed days;
who could smile at every jesting word,—
t, whom thy spirit at its will could raise
Up to its OA n proud heights of dreamy thought,—
I, from whose sunny hopes, thy nobler mind
Fr,rsh energy and inspiration caught,—
flow little of all this thou now would's; end!"

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosi►e

ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded il.l
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous In mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be Cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enlogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIIND LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus ceadensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgato, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. tire, is delivered in screw cans by C.

DRURY-LANE.

The chef d'cruvre of Meyerbeer, Robot le Diable, was
produced here on Saturday evening. This is the first
time that Robert le Diable has been presented to an
Enzlish audience in an unmutilated form, and Mr.
Bunn deserves the highest praise for the manner
in which this opera has been put upon the
stage. The scenery was truly superb, and the
costumes gorgeous and appropriate, and the 'groupings
picturesque and beautiful. Nothing could exceed the
brilliancy of the opening scene. The chorus of knights
not only sang but acted; and the stage presented all the
life and bustle of a camp. The revivification of the nuns
too, was admirably managed, and nothing could be more
excellent than were the scenic effects throughout the
piece. The following was the cast :
Robert
Bertram Mr. Stretton.
Raimbault Mr. D. W. King.
Alberto .. Mr. Weiss.
Alice Miss Romer.
The Princess Isabella Miss Rainforth
The Robert of Mr. Harrison was wanting in spirit.
Even the dicing song w, nt flatly off. It was evident
that be was not at his ease. The part of Robert
requires talents, both histrianic and vocal, of
the highest order, and it appeared to us as if
Mr. Harrison. beautiful as he is as a ballad singer, felt
scarcely equal to the task he had undertaken. We
have no doubt, however, but that he will improve as he
gets more at home in the part. He should, however,
practice the music assiduously, for we remarked on some
occasions a defect of intonation at which we were rather
surprised. Stretton's Bertram was very fine—always
correct, frequently excellent—at times even sublime. Mr.
Stretton has added greatly to his well-earned fame by his
performance of this very arduous part, and has shown
that he possesses powers of the existetice of which, even
his warmest admirers had no idea. Miss Romer's Alice
too was exceedingly beautiful. We never heard the
delicious aria in the second act more exquisitely
given. It was perfect, and was of course rapturously
applauded. We never saw Miss Romer to greater
advantage. The Princess Isabella does not ap-
pear until towards the conclusion of the opera.
She has but two airs to sing, " Idole de ma vie" and
" Robert toi que j'aime," but they are the two gems of
the opera, and they were given by Miss Rainforth with
exquisite expression and pathos, and with a purity of
intonation that was delightful. Raimbault has one op-
portunity, and one opportunity only, of showing ° the
spirit that is within him," and that is in the second act
in the solo, and the duet with Bertram. Mr. King ably
availed himself of this, and proved himself an excellent
musician and an accomplished artist. Mr. Weiss had
but little to do as Alberti, but that little was done well.
At the conclusion the principal performers were called
for and honoured with the usual ovation. The house
was crowded to the ceiling.

DRURY-LANE.

The chef dceuvre of Meyerlieer, 'lobe?, le Diable, was
produced here on Saturday evening. This is the first
time that Robert le Diable has been presented to an
English audience in art unmutilated form, and Mr.
Bunn deserves the highest pr :se for the manner
in which this opera has Le en put upon the
stage. The scenery was truly superb, and the
costumes gorgeous and appropriate, and the groupings
picturesque and beautiful. Nothing could exceed the
brilliancy of the opening scene. The chorus of knights
not only sang but acted, and the stage presented all the
life and bustle of a camp. The revivification of the nuns
too, was admirably managed, and nothing could be more
excellent than were the scenic effects throughout the
piece. The following was the cast :
Robert
Bertram Mr. Stretton.
Raimbault Mr. D. W. King.
Alberto .. Mr. Weiss.
Alice Miss Romer.
The Princess Isabella Mies Rainforth
The Robert of Mr. Harrison was wanting in spirit..
Even the dicing song w. nt flatly off. It was evident
that he was not at his ease. The part of Robert
requires talents, both histrionic and vocal, of
the highest order, and it appeared to us as if
Mr. Harrison. beautiful as he is as a ballad singer, felt
scarcely equal to the task he had undertaken. We
have no doubt, however, but that he will improve as he
gets more at home in the part. He should, however,
practice the music assiduously, for we remarked on some
occasions a defect of intonation at which we were rather
surprised. Stretton's Bertram was very fine—always
correct, frequently excellent—at times even sublitne. Mr.
Stretton has edded greatly to his w.ll-earned fame by hi.
performance of this very arduous part, and has shown
that he possesses pots era of the existence of which, even
his warmest admirers had no idea. Miss Romer's Alice
too was exceedingly beautiful. We never heard the
delicious aria in the second act more exquisitely
given. It was perfect, and was of course rap.urously
applauded. We never saw Nliss Retner to greater
advantage. The Princess Isabella does not ap-
pear until towards the conclusion of the opera
She has but two airs to " Idols de ma vie" and
Roo
but they are the two gems of
the opera,
xg u
given by Miss Rainforth with
j "
iC v
nisniaener; pathos, and with a purity of
i tr t
e te ox and p q r
theys e
intonation that was delightful. Raimbault has one op-
portunity, and one opportunity only, of showing *the
spirit that is within him, and that is in the second act
in the solo, and the duet with Bertram. Mr. King ably
availed himself of this, and proved himself an excellent
musician and an accomplished artist. Mr Weiss had
but little to do as. AlLe but that little was done well.
At the conclusion the principal pi rformers were called
for and honoured. with the usual ovation. The house
was crowded to the ceiling.

fore recommend it to the reader entire. There is
room only for a few lines of poetry, addressed to an
old friend, which paint with melancholy truth the
ravages of time:—
" Ws will not meet again, old friend of mine!
Much of life's beauty bath already past,
And now I would not willingly resign
The spell thy memory can about me cast.
What I have been to thee, and thou to me,
Even since those old days wherein we met,
We ne'er could be again, if each should see
How little of the past remaineth yet.
" No,'no! It were not well to learn how strange,
How al unliisTa thy heart and mine have grown;
To feel and know how sorrowful a change
Time and the world have wrought; weeping to own
The fairest vision of our lives have fled.
I know we are not as we were; I know
How much, alas, of my past self is dead!
Therefore, old friend, we'll meet no more below!
6‘ How have the depths of bitterness been stirr'd
Within my soul since those departed days;
I, who could smile at every jesting word,—
I, whom thy spirit at its will could raise
Up to its own proud heights of dreamy thouglit,—
I, from whose sunny hopes, thy nobler mind
Fresh energy and inspiration caught,—
How little a all this thou now would'st find!"

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 28.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber to-day, the proposal for revising the standing
orders of the Chamber was acceded to, after a long de-
bate, by a majority of 40 to 10.
A letter from Sliddleburgh, of the 26th, announces
that the ship Niderlands Koningen (Queen of the Nether-
lands), from Batavia to Rotterdam, was wrecked on the
Baujert, in the afternoon of the 24th. In the night of
that day the captain and twenty-one of the crew landed
near amburg, and having been provided with some re-
fre htielvseivere sent to Domburg, where every attention
wai Ma td them. Yesterday they were brought here
in waggons, except the English pilot, who is too ill to be
removed. Six of the crew lost their lives, the boat in
which they were having been dashed against another
vessel and broken to pieces. By the latest accounts the
ship is a total wreck.
MIDDLEBURG, FEB. 24.—Last week there was some
rioting at Zieriekzee, in consequence, as it seems, of
some executions for arrears of taxes. The citizens, usu-
ally so peaceable, assembled by hundreds, broke win-
dows, and committed other excesses. The magistrates
issued a judicious proclamation, and order was soon re-
stored, after some of the ringleaders had been ar-
rested. A detachment of troops was sent from Flush-
ing, to be at hand in case of any further disorders.
TBE HAGUE, FEB. 28.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber to-day, many petitions were presented relative
to the proposal for revising the fundamental law.
The state of the rivers remains nearly the same as
before, and the cold is still very severe.
HAMBURG, FEL 24.—The William Jolliff, not being
yet able to put to sea on account of the ice, the mail is
sent via Holland. The ice has broken loose at Blankense
and there is a considerable extent of clear water a
Altona. _

HANOVER, FED. 20.—We have no news of any im-
portance unless it be that our Government and the
Senate of Bremen have come to a final agreement re-
specting the iron railway from the city to Bremen. The
neg'otiations which have been going on for some years,
are at length concluded.—lhniburg papers, Feb. 25.

DOVER RAILWAY.—Mr. Whitehead, the secretary
of the South-Eastern Railway, has resigned his :office, owing to ill
health.
DEATH OF MR. WOODRUFFE.—Mr. Woodruffe, one
of the banisters practising in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, died at his
residence at Bayswater, on Wednesday evening.

TALLOW.

Notwithstanding the increased delivery, and the firmness in the
prices at St. I'otersburgh for the autumn, there is a further depres-
sion in prices hero, both on the spot and for delivery forward. Or-
dinary Y.C., can be obtained easily at 39s ; but really fine with diffi-
culty at 395. 6d. Something has been done during the week for
March and April, under 395. In new Y.C. there are sellers at
39s 3d to 38a per cwt. Town Tallow is steady and rather firmer.
