THE THEATRES.
DRURY-LANE.
Benedict's new grand opera, tke Brides of Venice, was
produced at this theatre last evening, with the most
triumphant success. The opera is founded on an inci-
dent in Venetian history, which occurred during the
reign of the • Doge Candiano II.; and which is thus re-
lated in the "Sketches from Venetian History:"—
" Under Candiano 11., occurred one of those events which
vividly depict the manners of the age to which they belong;
and which, though affecting individuals rather than a nation,
excite nevertheless, very powerful interest, and almost con-
nect history with romance. According to an ancient usage,
the marriages among the chief families at Venice were cele-
brated publicly. The same day and the same hour
witnessed the union of numerous betrothed; and the
Eve of the Feast of the Purification, on the return of
which the Republic gave portions to twelve young
maidens, was the season of this joyous anniversary. It
was to Olivolo, the residence of the Patriarch, on the ex-
treme verge of the city, that the ornamented gondolas re-
paired on this happy morning. There, hailed by music and
the gratulations of their assembled kindred, the lovers disem-
barked ; and the festive pomp, swelled by a long train of
friends, richly clad, and bearing with them, in proud display,
the jewels and nuptial presents of the brides, proceeded to
the Cathedral. The pirates of Istria had long marked
this peaceful show as affording a rich promise of booty;
for, at the time of which we are writing, the arsenal and
its surrounding mansions were not yet in existence, Olivolo
was untenanted, except by priests, and its neighbourhood
was entirely without inhabitants. n these deserted spots, the
corsair 4 laid there on ainbush the night before the ceremony ;
and while the unarmed and unsuspecting citizens were yet
engaged in the marriage rites before the altar, a rude and
ferocious troop burst the gates of the Cathedral. Not con-
tent with seizing the costly ornaments which became their
prize, they tore away also the weeping and heart-broken
hbraiddehs,onazivahtlreiedfesttilNieanii
withtti thhiesirpresevesnsceels;
touched by the rage and -despair of the disappoihted bride-
grooms, he summoned the citizens to arms. Hastily assem-
bling such galleys as were in the harbour, they profited by a
favourable wind; and overtook the ravishers before they
were extricated from the Lagune of Caorla. Candiano led
the attack,and, such was its fury, that not a single Istriote
escaped the death which he merited. The maidens were
brought back in triumph ; and on the evening of the same
day, the interrupted rites were solemnised with joy, no doubt
much heightened by a remembrance of the peril which had
so well nigh prevented their completion."
Such is the incident on which Mr. Benedict has founded
his opera, and it must be confessed that the materials
have been worked out in*a most artist-like manner; great
things were expected of him, and he has realised the
expectations which were entertained. The Brides of
Venice is decidedly the best thing that Mr. Be-
nedict has yet done. The opera was conducted
by the talented composer, who, on his appearance
in the orchestra, was greeted with loud applause from a
very crowded house—a compliment which he gracefully
acknowledged. The overture, which is a very brilliant
and, at the same time, a very artist-like composition,
was deservedly honoured with an encore. The first
scene opens in a villa belonging to Count Orio Soranzo
(Borrani), a Venitian noble, of broken fortune, who has
become a pirate chief. In the foreground are tables,
around which priests and nobles are seated, who sing a
bacchanalian chorus. Soranzo enters, and we learn that
he is a suitor for the hand of Francesca Morosini, the
richest (heiress in Lombardy. He quits the sa-
loon, accompanied by his friends, for the gaming
table, and Naama (Mrs. Alfred Shaw) enters.
Naama is an Arab girl, who, having freed Soranzo from
his captivity among the Turks, has followed him through
the world disguised as his Page—the Kaled, in fact, of
this Venetian Lara. From an aria in this scene, which
was beautifully given by Mrs. Alfred Shaw, we learn
that Soranzo has deserted the Arab maiden, who yet
was his, but who, so far from being actuated by jealousy
of Francesca, determines if possible to shield her from
him. Soranzo enters, and receives from Naama a letter
informing him of the rejection of his suit by Francesca,
who has affianced herself to the Count Alberto. Soranzo
desires Naama once again to seek Francesca, and to in-
form her that he will obey her wishes, but that he
will seek her once more to bid her farewell.
The next scene is laid in the Morosini Palace. Fran-
cesca (Miss Romer), weary of the long delay in the re-
turn of Alberto from an expedition which he had under-
taken against the Istrian pirates, gives utterance to her
feelings, in a beautiful romanza, at the conclusion of
which several ladies enter, each with a basket of flowers,
to greet the bride elect on her nuptial morning. They
sing the chorus " Good morrow, lady rare," which is one
of the most beautiful things in the opera, and which was
rapturously applauded and loudly encored. This
beautiful chorus was one of those things which take
an audience, as it were, by storm. It created
an intense excitement, and from that moment the success
of the opera was se sire. This was followed by the
beautiful air, " Oh, tell me not of sadness," delightfully
sung by Miss Romer, and the chorus, which was also
much applauded. Naama enters, to crave a last audience
ror Soranzo, and is immediately followed by Alberto
(Harrison), who has returned to claim his bride, a de-
feated, not a conquering, soldier. He is immediately
followed by Soranzo, in whom he recognises the
pirate chief, and Leontio (Mr. G. Horncastle), the
lieutenant of the pirates ; and a quintette follows
between Alberto, Francesca, Naama, Soranzo, and
Leontio. This quintette is perhaps the most scien
tific piece of composition in the whole opera—the
vocal parts are written with great care, and the instru-
mentation is full and complete. This composition alone
would stamp Mr. Benedict's fame us a composer, and it
was given by all concerned in the most complete and
perfect minter possible. Soranzo, Leontio, and Naama,
quit the palace, leaving Francesca and Alberto alone;
and the scene concludes with a ballad by Alberto, " If a
tear should repose." This is one of those simple, pa-
thetic ballads, in the singing of which Harrison shines.
It was completely within the compass of his voice, and
of course he sang it exquisitely, and was rapturously
encored. The next scene, which was the last of the first
act, was gorgeous in the extreme. The scene repre-
sented the shores of the Adriatic, with a view
of St. Georgio Maggiore and Porto, Franco,
Venice. Naama enters, and in a beautiful ro-
manza, "By the sad sea waves," gives utter •
ante to her feelings of despondency at her miserable
fate. This, which is certainly th most beautiful
l sold
o
composition in the opera, was gi e ven by Mrs. Afre
Shaw with exquisite pathos and expression. Her fine
rich deep tones told admirably in this beautifully' pa-
thetic composition, which was listened to with breathless
silence, and, at its conclusion, rapturously encored. The
peasants enter to view the Procession of the Brides of
Venice, and among the peasantry the pirates, with So-

under a magnificent canopy, close the procession. The
,bridal chorus, "Strew, strew, joyously," which is intro-
duced iato ths scene, is a most brilliant composition, and
is, in our opinion, the gem of the opera. It was raptu-
rously applauded,' and, of course, encored. The pirates
enter, beat off the Venetians,, seizing the brides, bear
them away to their ships. This concludes the first act.
The second act opens in one of the Istrian islands—the
court-yard of the Castle of Soranzo. Groups of pirates
are discovered, who sing a characteristic chorus. A
storm comes on. A vessel is seen labouring in the
offing. She drives on shore, and the pirates rus out to
plunder her. Naama enters from the castle, and, going
up to the turret door, opens it, and releases Francesca.
In this scene there is a song, " The smile that plays on
woman's cheek," which was very beautifully sung by
Mrs. Alfred Shaw, and a duet, " Like the storm now
died away," by Mrs. Alfred Shaw and Miss Homer.
The , last is a very exquiiite composition ; it
was done full justice to by Mrs. Alfred Shaw and
Miss Romer, and was deservedly encored. The pirates,
return, and Francesca re-enters the turret. The

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
AVACANCY having occurred in the Direction of
your affairs by the lamented death of your valued Director,
the Hon. Hugh Lindsay, I take the eailiest opportunity of soliciting

eV en

WOODSTOCK, MONDAY.—The nomination of candidates for
representation of this borough, rendered vacant by the
appointment of Mr. Thesiger to the office of Solicitor-General,
took place to-day. The only candidates in the field were the
Marquis of Blandfoid and Mr. Humfrey, the barrister. As
the Noble Marquis and his opponent each professed Con-
servative principles, the opposition sprung from merely local,
or rather personal considerations. As something like a scene
was expected, the Town-hall was crowded at an early hour.
Among the friends who accompanied the Marquis of Bland-
ford to the hustings, was Sir James Scrtith, the Astronomer
Royal. Mr. Humfrey was accompanied by Mr. Walesby, the
Rerorder of Woodstock, and several other gentlemen.
Mr. Harrison, in the absence of the Mayor, arising from
indispoSition, acted as Deputy.
The usual preliminaries having been gone through,
Mr. Alderman Mourns proposed the Marquis of Blandford
as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Par-
liament.—(Great uproar.)
Mr. T. ROBINSON seconded the nomination of the Marquis
of Illandford. The last time he had the honour of addressing
them in that room it was for the purpose of proposing the
Solicitor-General as a fit person to represent them in Parlia-
ment, and he thought they were all agreed upon one point,
however else they might differ, that they had no reason to
regret having selected the olicitor-General to represent
them.—(Cheers.) He was confident that the Marquis of
Blandford, whom he now recommended to them, would be
likewise found not to disappoint them in any reasonable ex-
pectation they might form. He thought- that if any person
doubted the competency of the Noble Lord, if he read the
handbill issued by the Noble Lord containing a declaration
of the just principles he entertained, all doubt as to his eligi-
bility would be removed.—(Cries of "He is only a school-
boy.") With regard to the allegation of his being only a
school-boy, such an objection was futile, because the Legis-
lature itself had wisely defined what the age of a representa-
tive should be. He kMr. Robinson) was now going to touch
on ground which he felt required extraordinary circumspec-
tion as to-how he distit. When he hadproposed the Solicitor-
General to them, hernade observations on the behaviour of a
gentleman whose conduct he did not approve of., He was told
that it was well for him that that gentleman wore a black
coat, which meant, he supposed, that a bullet would be put
through him, because he had told one who was their shep-
herd that it did not become him to foment sores in their
' borough, and stir up disquiet on every opportunity.—( lip-
roar.) He now repeated that.—(Renewed uproar.) He
would say now in fns presence that it was improper, unwise,
and unchristianlike, and unbecoming in a minister of the
gospel to lend himself when occasion offered to sow discord
in the borough.—(Uproar.) He now quitted that subject to
refer to another. Many of the electors had refused to sup-
port the Noble Marquis, in consequence of differences with
the noble owner of Blenheim. Perhaps he hail himself cause
to complain • but did they think he would allow any coldOeSs
with the Ale Duke to induce him to refuse the Noble
Marquis Alia support to which he was entitled. He trusted
he was incapable of acting on so despicable a feeling, and,
therefore, he came forward to give his support to the Marquis
of Blandford.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. BOWLES then came forward, and was 're-
ceived with great- uproar.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD requested his friends -would
give the Rey. Gentleman a fair hearing.
The Rev Mr. BoWLEs thanked Lord Blandford for the ap..
peal lie bad made to them in his behalf. He would not
follow the example of the gentleman opposite, who thought
he would strengthen the cause of the Marquis of Blandford
by a personal and most uncalled-for attack upon him.—
(Cheers and uproar.) He stood there to-day, notwith-
standing the foul and abominable attempts made to prevent
his appearance on the hustings.—(Cheers.) Ile stood before
them all, strong in the purity of his motives. He defied any
man to come forward and state anything openly against his
character.—(Cheers.) All he would say, in answer to these
attacks was, that it might please the Almighty to forgive his
persecutors and slanderers and turn their hearts.—(Hear.)
Under ordinary circumstances he should not have appeared
at the hustings, for he was of opinion that the mere political
parson weakened his influence with the public, and was cer-
tain to lose that self-respect which was the reflex of public
opinion.—(Cheers.) But no ordinary circumstances brought
him here to-day. Hewas the especially appointed guardian
of the poor of that parish, and as such, was bound to use his
best exertions to rescue the parish from a state of tyranny
.which he believed in his conscience was unparalleled in any
other parish' in the kingdom. He would tell the Duke of
Marlborough that rank and wealth had their duties as well
as their privileges, and that the neglect of one forfeited the
other.—(Cheers.) After having heard all that could be said
in favour of the Noble Candidate opposite, he was of Opinion
that he was
,not a fit person to represent the borough, and
therefore lie came forward to propose L. Charles Humphrey,
barrister-at-law, of Great Queen-street, St. James's parish,
as a person eminently qualified to represent them.
Mr. H. NORTH seconded the nomination of Mr. Humfrey.
He did so in order to release the town from the tyranny
under which it suffered. .The Noble Marquis opposite, no
doubt, was not answerable for the conduct of his father, but 1,
he (Mr. North) hoped that the lesson the Noble Marquis
should receive to-day would induce him, when he came to
the dukedom to refrain from oppressing his tenants and the
inhabitants Of the town. He (Mr. North) was old enough to
remember the good Duke of Marlborough. Where are now
the respectable tenantry who, under that Duke, once lived
and prospered on the Marlborough property? Are they now
prospering? No. -Ile could appeal to several of them who
had been cruelly used by the Duke of Marlborough. He
asked them what the Duke did for that parish ?—(Cries of
"Nothing at all.") Yes, he did something—he offered them
a candidate. He (Mr. North) asked the poor who heard
him, what charity they received from the Duke of Marl-
borough ?—(Cries of " None, none.") He did not even give
them the chipping—be sold it to them at fivepence a pound.
He would ask the Duke's agent, who was present, how many
notices to quit he had served on poor cottagers? Not content
with having placed the high pressure on the yeomanry, he
now came down to the smaller men in the poor cottages.
They did not come there to offer a factious opposition to the.
Marquis of Blandford. If-the Noble Marquis promised to see
those grievances redressed, the existence of which he could
not deny,--if he made that promise, he (Mr. North) would
be the first to poll in his favour. His object in supporting
Mr. Humfrey was to effect a public good, and to make the
Duke of Marlborough a better man, and a more considerate
Mr. WALE:sin-,
landlord.—(Cheers.)
the Recorder, came forward, and was re-
ceived with cries of " No elector."
The Marquis of' Blandford likewise presented himself, but
--
was, prevented from proceeding by loud calls for the Recorder.
The Deputy Mayor having decided in favour of the Noble
Lord's right to speak,
The Marquis of BLANDFORD thanked his proposer and
seconder for the flattering manner in which they had intro-
duced-him, and he expressed his gratitude to his friends for
the generous support he had received from them during his
canvass. It would of course be expected that he would say
a few words, and it was his intention to be as concise as pos-
sible, in explanation of the principles—he would not use the
word professions—but .he would . say the principles, upon
which he aspired to repreient them in the great council of
the nation. He was a supporter, inall its simplicity, purity,
and integrity, of the Church as by law established. He
would maintain the laws and institutions of Church and State.
He was a firm supporter of her Majesty's present Govern-
ment, and at the same time he was a firm and uncompro-
mising defender of the cultivators of the soil. It had been
stated that he was an admirer of the new-fangled doctrines
of free trade. He abjured them all.—(Cheers.) Free trade,
in his opinion, would be the ruin of this country.. There
was but one other subject on which he conceived it necessary
to express his opinion. He was a supporter of the measure
introduced by his truly noble relative, their former represen-
tative, Lord Ashley. He alluded to the clause proposed by
his noble relative, restricting to ten hours the hours of labour
in the cotton mills in Lancashire and elsewhere. He hesi-
tated not one moment in extending his sympathy to the
crushed and worn-down victims of the cotton lords. He
would not detain the electors by referring to any other topics
of the day. .Although he regretted to hear gentlemen oppo-
site say such things as they did of his respected father, he
would at present merely say, that he was not the arbiter of
his father's actions, but that if the electors of Woodstock
selected him as their representative, he would devote himself
to their interests, and use his best exertions to promote the
prosperity of their town.—(Cheers.)
Mr. HumFnEv then addressed the electors. He thanked
them for the manner in which they had received his name.
One of the objections raised against his name was, -that he
was unknown. Now, be came there to tell them a few
things not only about himself, but about the house of Blen-
heim. The Noble Marquis, who had done himself great
honour by his address to-day, had told them that he was
not the arbiter of his father's conduct. True ; but the Noble
Marquis came there as the representative of his father and
the possessions of Blenheim, and he should, 'therefore, take
them with all their burdens. - He (Mr. Humfrey) should
not have been there to-day had he not found the borough of
Woodstock so neglected ; the tenantry so oppressed ; the

poor so utterly forgotten ; and the sick and destitute so
neglected, that it was necessary means should be adopted to
remedy, if possible, the present state of things. The Duke
of Marlborough enjoyed all the wealth, without doing the
slightest good to the borough, of which he claimed the pa-

influence, ought to have no more difficulty in returning a
Member for Woodstock, than in the appointment of its own
steward. But, as their rector had said, property had its
duties as 'well as its privileges and he would state to them
such matters as would show that the Lord of Blenheim was
not qualified to send a representative to Parliament. Many
persons could recollect when thousands were laid out among
the tradesmen of Woodstock by the Dukes of Marlborough.
Was it so now? Was a single tradesman employed ?—(No,
no.) The Learned Gentleman then went into lengthened
details of several acts of oppression alleged against the
Duke of Marlborough, whom he charged with having
had recently served notices to quit on no lesss than 140
poor cottagers, in order to effect an increase in the rents
of their tenements. Ile concluded by stating, that as the
Noble Marquis had had the advantage of a Week's can-
vass, he did not conceive his prospect of success was
such as to justify bins in exposing the electors to the
tyranny of the house of Blenheim by going to the-poll.
Mr. WALEsBY justified the course he had taken in opposi •
Lion to the Duke of Marlborough.
The DEPUTY MAYOR took a show of hands, and declared the
election to have fallen upon the Marquis of Blandford. •
The Marquis of BLANDFORD then came forward, and was
received with loud cheers. After expressing his 'gratitude,
he said " I have to-day heard a great many things which
have pained me exceedingly as a son. In answer, all I can
say is, that I regret that my father's positron in society pre-

a full and complete denial to the accusations ; but one thing
I will say--that there is not in reality a kinder-hearted titan

EXETER ELECTION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
MONDAY EVENING.—The polling terminated this afternoon
as follows :
Follett
Briggs
Majority
This is a larger minority than was at any time anticipated.
The most sanguine expectations of the League party never
went beyond 500. The: e are above 900 electors who have
not voted at all, and many of the Reform party have voted
for Follett. Thep olling commenced by placing General
Briggs in the advance, which rather alarmed the Tories. At
the end of the first hour, however, the Tories were about
4 to 3 ; by ten o'clock they were 2 to 1 in the advance ; in
another hour 3 to 1, and continued steadily increasing.
Immediately after the conclusion of the poll a meeting was
held at the Subscription-rooms. Nearly 2,000 persons at-
tended. The meeting was addressed by General Briggs and
Mr. Moore. They seemed to consider the result of the elec-
tion rather as a triumph than a defeat, and their reception
from the meeting was more enthusiastic than on former occat:
sions. Mr. Moore alluded to the case of a journeyman coach-
builder who had been discharged for voting for free trade,
and promised that this man, who was looked on by the meet-
ing as a martyr, should not suffer. His announcement that
he and Mr. Cobden would soon visit this city was received
with tremendous applause.

intercourse with the natives of India, and gave me peculiar facilities
of becoming acquainted with the manners, usages, and general cha-
racter of all classes of that interesting people.
Opposed to hasty innovations and- frequent changes of system,
injurious in all countries, but more particularly in India, I yet do not
hesitate to avowmy conviction that OUT system of Indian Govern-
ment admits of improvement both at,llOthettitti abroad; more espe-
cially in the substitution, to a greater extent, of the agency of the
natives of India for that of Europeans in the Administration of their
own country. •
The great object of the Government of India ought to be the moral
and physical advancement of those millions who have been placed by
a gracious Providence under our protection. With this end in view,
a more liberal policy, and. a freer admission to offices of trust and
emolument, by holding out the strongest encouragement to the pur-
suit of knowledge, and the acquisition of high attainment, appear to
me among the chief means of ameliorating the condition and elevat-
ing the character of our Indian fellow-subjects.
The course of events during the last few years, and especially the
recent annexation of Studs to our Empire, must necessarily lead to
the enlargement of our political relations and responsibilities with
the countries west of the Indus. From my residence in a political
capacity at the courts of the-Chiefs on the banks of that river, it
formed a part of my duty to study carefully the structure of society
among the various tribes inhabiting that vicinity, and the power ,and
condition of the States on our north-western frontier.
I have•already, at a Special Court, held at the India House, on the
26th January, 1844, stated at length any dissent from the measures',
which led to the conquest of' Sinde. I may add that, . except under
circumstances where it cannot be avoided, I deprecate any inter-
ference with the independent native powers: Instead of seeking to
crush those States with whom we have formed alliances, I consider it
our interest, as well as our duty, to endeavour to preserve them, de-
voting our whole energiea to the internal improvement of the terri-
tories we now possess, rather than to any further extension of our
already overgrown dominions.
In conclusion, I have only to assure you that, deeply impressed
with the responsibility of the trust, and having no other pursuit,
should I be successful, I wtll devote myself exclusively to the dis-
charge of the important duties committed to me, and to the promo-
tion of the welfare and hapiness of the ople of India, with whose
prosperity and advancemen it the British character and interests are
so intimately interwoven.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, with great respec
your faithful and obedient servant,

HUNTINGDON ELECTION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Yesterday (Monday) morning, at ten o'clock, this election
was proceeded with. -After the Town- clerk had read the Acts
against bribery and corruption, the Mayor, in calling on some
elector to propose a candidate, made a few judicious remarks,
desiring for every speaker a fair hearing, and the ascription
of a candid and impartial motive for anything which might
be advanced; for, however opposite the views different per-
sons might express on that occasion, he would give credit to
every one for being actuated by a sincere desire for the public
good. His Worship's very excellent and well-timed observa-
tions elicited repeated marks of general approval ; and at the
conclusion of his address, Mr. David Veasey rose to propose
Mr. T. Baring as a fit and proper person to represent the united
boroughs of Huntingdon and Godmanchester in the Com-
mons' House of Parliament ; in doing which Mr. Veasey
took occasion to refer to the regret expressed, alike by
his political adherents and opponents in the constituency, at
the retirement of Sir Frederick Pollock, whose impartial at-
tention to his representative duties had earned for him the
esteem of all classes of the electors. Mr. Philip Zillard, of
Godmanchester, seconded Mr. Veasey's nomination of Mr.
Baring, and no other candidate being proposed, the Mayor
declared Mr. Baring duly elected. Mr. Baring then came
forward and thanked the electors for the honour they had
just conferred upon him ; and after a brief address, detailing
his views on several political topics, and expressing a deter-
mination to follow the example of his distinguished prede-
cessor, Sir Frederick Pollock, in the course of his public
life, by according to the local interests of his constituents, as
well as to the affairs of the nation at large, his diligent atten-
tion and care, he proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor for
his conduct in the chair, which proposition being seconded
by Mr. Veasey, and;carried by acclamation, his Worship, in a
few words, returned thanks, and the proceedings terminated.

ANCE SOCIETY,
26, COIINHILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or ferfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in My last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

MR. LEVER'S NEW WORK, " ARTHUR O'LEARY
—A work from the graphic pen of Harry Lorrequer,
illustrated by the pencil of George Cruikshank, carries
with it such a recommendation as may almost defy cri-
ticism ; and, truth to say; we hardly know how to con-
vey an adequate notion of the exuberant whim and
drollery by which these volumes are characterised.
They are a perpetual feast of gaiety. Adventure suc-
ceeds adventure, scene to scene, character to character,
and in all so much variety, so much genuine humour,
that every taste must find something wherewith to be
pleased. " Arthur O'Leary's Wanderings in Many
Lands" carry us from Paris to Brussels, from Brussels
to the Brunnens of Germany, among Dutch smugglers,
into the mountains of Spa, along the banks of the Rhine,
and everywhere fresh adventures, rich anecdotes, mar-
vellous escapes, and unexpected wonders, present them-
selves. Mr. Lever's style is admirably adapted, from its
dashing character, to delineate such scenes as he has
chosen for his hero."—John Bull.
SMOKE-CONSUMING APPARATUS.—MF. Godson's
smoke-consuming apparatus has been, by order of the
Board of Admiralty, put up in the block factory. of
Portsmouth dockyard, and is now working a large engine
so effectually, according to the intent, that a tremendous
fire is constantly kept up, without producing any smoke
whatever. In the course of last week the engine blew
off the steam, which is evidence that more steam is gene-
rated than is required for the purpose of working the en-
gines. The engine was under experiment in Woolwich
dockyard nine or ten months, and Mr. Lloyd, the Chief
Engineer, made three reports to Commodore-Superia-
tendent Sir F. A. Collier, C. 8., K.C.H., stating that the
apparatus acted efficiently, and expressing a belief in its
durability. In the large manufactories which constitute,
by their smoke;such horrible nuisances, the obligation
to adopt means of abating such abominations will shortly
be advocated in the Corporations, inconjunction with the
question of burying the dead in towns.

certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the
sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it.
The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma..
esties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident
to the Eyes and Head. G. J. Guthrie Esq., F.R.S. See .1. B. Lach-
field, Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls it
a national blessing—see his Retorts touching its utility. The late

mendation of a friend to use your invention. I purchased a 2s. 441,

" Medical Dispensary, 77, King's-Told, Brighton, March 3, 1843."
An eminent physician, who was suspended from his professional
duties by Rheumatic Gout, in a few hours obtained such relief, that,
instead of being lifted in and out of his carriage, he could leave it with-
out assistance or inconvenience.
" Hereford, Ledbury, Oct: 210843.
"To Mr. CABBURN—Sir, Mr. Bridges, a surgeon of considerable
practice at Weston Begard, was for some time so very much afflicted
with Rheumatism, as to be unable to sit on horseback ; having heard
of the Anti-Doloric Oil, he was determined to give it a fair trial, and
he says after the use of one 4s. 6d. bottle, he was astonished to find
himself well. He has since purchased several bottles of me, and has
sed it successfully in his private practice. • He is now trying it on a
atient (with prospects of success) who has been discharged from the
Hereford Dispensary as incurable. I remain, yours, &c.,
J. S. BAGSTER."

Ton the stage in the
; the highest credit on
;uccess was unequivo-
be no doubt but that
;on. The house was

HAYMARKET.
Mr. Farren, after a long illness, reappeared at this
house last night, and was received with the most rap-
turous applause. Indeed such was the warmth of his
reception that we were almost afraid it might have pro-
duced a relapse. He went through the part of Sir Peter
Teazle, in the School for Scandal, in his best manner,
and when the curtain fell he was called for most enthu-
siastically. Having answered the summons, he said that
he felt that moment as the proudest in his life. Garlands
and bouquets were strewed in abundance on the stage,
and the scene was altogether most gratifying. A new
farce, called Lcve in a Sack, followed, and was quits
successful.
