An old bachelor of Forinieres, near Nantes, who was supposed
from his mode of living to be very poor, died a few days ago, leav-
ing a fortune of 700,000 f., of which 250,000 f. was in specie, piled
up in a cupboard.
An oyster bed in the bay of Cancale, on the coast of Brittany,
which has, by order of the authorities, been prohibited ground to
the fishery, was opened a few days ago. Nearly five hundred boats
arrived from the different ports of the coast to commence the
fishery, and so abundant was the catch that the number of oysters
taken during the day was estimated at two hundred millions. The
fishing ivas suspeuded for a few days, in order that.the supply
might be disposed of, and resumed on the 14th, when almost as
many oysters were taken as on the first day.
The Swabian Mercury contains a correspondence (dated Bth

inst.), from Leipsic, in which it is asserted that numerous parties
have expressed the wish that the spring fair there should be
opened on a later day for the future, in order to have a better
chance of fairer and more settled weather. This year very little
business has been done, in consequence of the delay in the arrival
of goods, occasioned by the prolonged severity of the weather, and
the inundations which followed the thaw. Very few English
goods arrived in time for the opening. Letters from Leipsic of the
10th state that business had become brisker.

at an early hour with a quantity of plate and some bank-notes,
value in the whole npwards of 2004, the property of his master.
Another man, named Fisher, is supposed to have assisted Bracey
in the work of plunder, and it has been ascertained that in Great
Marylebene-street they got into a cab, the driver of which was
ordered to proceed to Chelsea. The house of Mr. Littleton, North-
umberland-street, New.road, was also entered on the morning of
Thursday, and numerous articles of plate, wearing apparel, &c.,
were carried off. Information of the robberies was promptly com-
municated to Superintendent Hughes, at the station-house, Mary-
lebone ; and Inspector Tedman, and others of the D division, are
using their best exertions to discover the thieves..
The report that Thorwaldsen's statue of Byron was about to be

The Committee for conducting the Asylum for the Houseless
Poor have determined to close those at Playhouse-yard and Ogle..
street, and that at the eastern part on Monday next. They would
have closed these most useful places of reception for the starving
and helpless thousands who crowd into the city un the 10th, if the
weather had not continued so severe. The Committee have found
great satisfaction in declaring that the opportunities which these
arrangements' have afloreed to the nightly visitors of usirig biths,
have been productive of much benefit. In the Eastern Asylum,'
Glasshouse.st.eet, East Smithfield, the inmates eagerly contended
Vor early baths, and for the opportunity of using the washing and
drying apparatus lately fitted up in that building. Thellemands
upon the Committee have been enormous during the late inclement
winter.

SIXTH REPORT , FROM THE
CLASSIFICATION COMMITTEE ON RAIL-
WAY BILLS.
The Select Committee appointed for the Classification of
Railway Bills according to the resolutions adopted by the
House, and who are empowered to report. from time to
time—report as follows :
Your Committee having further considered the several
matters referred to them, recommend that the following Bill
or project be referred to the same Committee to which the
recommendations under letters 11. in their former report ap-
plied, viz. :
TT

6. Kendal and Windermere Railway.
Your Committee had to consider the list of plans for rail-
ways deposited at the Private Bill-office, and such plans only ;
and, having found in the said list two distinct plans entered
and noticed, and no Bill referring to either having been laid
on the table of the House, your Committee felt at liberty to
consider the said two plans as separate and distinct projects,
and accordingly referred them to separate and distinct Corn-
mittees; but having now had before them the Bill which in-
corporates the two, find it unnecessary to subdivide them,
and therefore recommend that they be both referred to one
and the same Committee, under group 8., to which one,
namely, B. 4, Manchester and Leeds (Burnley Branch), has
already been referred, excluding, accordingly, from group
QQ. the Railway Bill marked QQ. 1, and entitled in the
Private Bill-office List, " Manchester and Leeds (Oldham
Branch)."
Your Committee having further had before them an appli-
cation from the -agents of two plans, viz.:—
Manchester and Birmingham (Ashton Branch);
Manchester and Birmingham (Macclesfield Branch Ex-
tension);
which appeared separately in the list of the Private Bill-
office, and which were distributed by your Committee into
two distinct groups, viz. QQ. 2 and 0. 5, but which are now
incorporated in one and the same Bill before the House, find
it, under the actual circumstances, unnecessary to subdivide
the said plans, and accordingly recommend that they be re-
ferred to one and the same Committee under group QQ., to
which one, namely, Manchester and Birmingham (Ashton
Branch) bad already been referred, excluding, accordingly,
from group 0. the Railway Bill marked Manchester and
Birmingham (Macclesfield Branch Extension) 0. 5, and en-
titled in the Private Bill-office List, "Manchester and Bir•
mingharn (Manchester Branch Extension)."

FIRE AT THE PRINCESS'S TIIEATRE.--On Friday
morning, about one o'clock, some little alarm was created in the
neighbourhood of Oxford.street, by a report being circulated that
the Princess's Theatre was on fire. One of the brigade engines
was quickly dispatched to the theatre, when it was ascertained
that the heat from the adjoining iron.foundry had set fire to a
piece of timber in the cloak-room, on the first floor, over the pit
entrance. The firemen and workmen at once pulled down the
skirting and tore up the flooring in the above apartment, and the
fire was very speedily extinguished, the damage being, compara-
tively speaking, inconsiderable. The theatre is insured in the
Licensed Victuallers', Atlas, Scottish Union, West of England,
and the Liverpool Eire.office.
