THE ESTIMATES FOR MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES.-
The numerous Parliamentary estimates issued since the opening of
the session are at length wound up by the issue (on Saturday) of
the bulky papers which are appropriated to the " Miscellaneous
Services," divided, as they are, into no less than seven separate
Classes. Fortunately a general abstract of the grants to be proposed
for the above services for the year 1845-46, has been prepared for
the use of those who are necessarily restricted to a general synopsis,
and precluded from any lengthened entrance into mere details. It
appears that the gross totals of the seven classes, as estimated for the
ensuing year, amount to the suns of 9,944,9751. (including the" civil
contingencies," at 100,0001.), which is a net decrease of 60,726/. as
compared with the estimates of 1844, and oneof 22,157/. as compared
with those of 1843. Of this amount 2,944,9751. the sum of 313,6691.

and charities, under class 6 ; and 93,879/. to special and temporary
objects, under cl.e. 7. '1 he " civil contingencies," of which the
details will be given under that head in a separate paragraph,

COOKE'S EQUESTRIAN CIRCUS.—A fatality seems
destined to attend this establishment, which has just been brought
before the public in connexion with the tragic catastrophe at Yar-
mouth. A few years since, it will be recollected, Mr. Cooke, sen.,
lost his valuable horses, theatrical properties, ac., by fire in the
United States, and subsequently experienced a disastrous loss in
Ireland. In the early part of the present year the circus, belong-
ing to Mr. W. Cooke, was torn down by a violent gust of wind,
just before the performance, at Hackney, by which Mrs. Isbitter
and her nephew lost their lives, and many ♦isitors narrowly es.
cared serious injury. It is due to Mr. Cooke to state, that upon
that occasion he generously proffered payment to the family of de-

ceased for every expense arising out of the melancholy accident.
On the removal of the establishment to East India-road, Poplar,
Mr. Cooke, with his accustomed generosity of spirit, gave the pro.
seeds of a night's performance In aid of the fund raised on behalf
of the Unfortunate sufferers on board the Gipsy Queen. Mr. Cooke
has closed the circus at Yarmouth, and removed the company to
London, preparatory, it is believed, to their appearance at one of
the East.end theatres during the Whitsuntide holidays.
N. PHILIPPE'S SOIREES Al YSTERILUSES AT THE
ST. JAMES'S THEATAI.—As we anticipated, M. Philippe has be.
some one of the lions of the season. We visited the theatre on
Tuesday, and found it crowded: Certainly M. Philippe is the most
wonderful artist in his line who has ever appeared, awd there is a
dramatic style about his performances which adds vastly to their
attraction. The performances of last evening were most sur-
prising and delightful, one hundred years ago they would have
been considered awe-inspiring, and the audience were
kept on the qui vise during the whole evening. M.
Philippe possesses the art of rivetting the attention of his au.
dience in a very extraordinary manner. His performances last
nearly three hours, and during the whole of that time the at-
tention never flags. The children all seemed in extaeies with
him, and declared that his bon boa, of which he produced an
apparently inexhaustible supply from a hat, were delicious. The
ladies, too, admired the taste which he had displayed in the ar-
rangement of his bouquets, of which the supply seemed equally
inexhaustible. In fact, Ti. Philippe is deservedly an en 'verbal
faTourlte.
