OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Mr. Alfred Ormonde takes a
benefit this evening at the Olympic Theatre, when Othello
will be performed by a most respectable company. Mr.
Ormonde acts Othello; Mrs. Davenport, Emelia ; and Miss
Davenport, Desdemona. The piece is well cast, and we have
no doubt the public will show their approbation of Mr.
Ormonde's talents by a numerous attendance.
THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.--The
dinner of the members of the British and Foreign Institute,
on Thursday evening, was presided over by Lord Brougham,
supported by Lord James Stuart, M.P., Lord Dudley Stuart,
Mr. Wynn Ellis, M.P., and others of the Vice-Presidents
and Committee. The soirée of the preceding evening was
one of the most brilliant of the season, both for the number
of ladies present and the excellence of the music, which was
varied, well selected, and highly enjoyed by all present.
TAMAR SILVER-HEAD MINING COMPANY.—Yester-
day a special meeting of this Company was held at the office
of Mr. Stainsby, No. 44, Finsbury-square. The chair was
taken by Joseph Grout, Esq., who spoke of the advantages
that would be likely to accrue from smelting at the works,
and proposed a resolution fur that purpose, and for raising
the necessary capital for constructing the works necessary,
which was estimated at 9,6001. After a short discussion,
the resolution was passed unanimously, and the meeting ad-
journed.
MONUMENT TO THE LATE LORD HOLLAND.—The
political friends and admirers of the late Lord Holland have
subscribed 5,000/. for a monument to his memory, to be
placed in Westminster Abbey. The Committee of Manage-
ment, consisting of Lord J. Russell, the Marquis of Lans-
downe, Mr. Rogers, the poet, and one or two others of rank
and influence, have entrusted the execution of the work to
Mr. Bailey, the Royal Academician.
HANGING BY PROXY.—A stupid story of an Eng-
lishman having been condemned to death in England, but
permitted to be hanged by proxy if he could find a substi-
tute, and of his having offered an enormous sum by way of
inducing some person to take his place, appeared in all the
French journals two or three years ago. The same story—
if we are to believe the journals—has just been got up again
by a wag of Tarbes, whe has announced that the sum offered
is 7,000,000 f., to be divided equally among seven persons, on
condition of one of them consenting to be hanged in the place
of the Englishman. We are gravely assured that the Prefect
of Tarbes has been beset by applicants for information on the
subject, in order that they may obtain the promised sum,
with a view of sacrificing themselves for their families, and
that he has had great difficulty in making them believe that
they have been hoaxed.— Ga/ignani.
ABERGLVENNY.—RICK BURNING.--Of Tuesday
evening last, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, an
alarm of fire was brought to this town by a messenger from
Llaugrwyney. The engine was immediately sent, but un-
fortunately did not arrive till nearly all of two ricks had been
consumed. They were the property of Mr. Window, of the
paper mill, Llangrwyney, having been purchased by him of
the outgoing tenant, from Taylor's Hall Farm, in that parish.
The was discovered by a woman who was passing by
about nine o'clock. It appears to have been the work of in-
cendiaries, and suspicion attaches to two individuals, who
will, most probably, be examined.—Mosmouthshire.illerlin.
A woman of penurious habits, named Robins, who
lived at Mitchel Troy, and who, with her husband, were in
decent circumstances, last week died from the effects of drink-
ing acorn tea as a substitute for coffee. The extreme astrin-
gency of the preparation produced an illness which made the
misguided woman a victim to her parsimonious habits.—
Monmouthshire Merlin.
The supply of mackerel this week has been large.
One boat brought in 9,000 on Thursday, and another thundredhe
same number yesterday, which were sold at 175.
for the London market. Both vessels belonged to Messrs.
Cheesman. The other boats have not been so fortunate.
The supply of soles has also been plentiful. They
are caught
in the North Ses, brought to Hull, from thence forwarded to
London, and so reach Briduten, where they are retaiieki at
3d. per lb. I They are stated to be excellent. Our owu Catch
bee been very small.—Friglttan

FOREIGN.
Accounts have been received from Zurich to the 3d. The
Diet did not meet on the 2d ; and it does not appear that all
division had taken place on the question relative to the

Jesuits.
In consequence of the communication in many parts of
France being blocked up with snow, the Minister of War ilas
decided that the call upon the conscripts of the reserve, who
were to join their respective corps in the month of March, is
to be deferred till April. Accounts from Doubs represent
cold as continuing with all its intensity in that country. The
river is entirely frozen over, and the winter has in all respects
been as severe as that of 1829-1830.
A comparative table of the imports into France during the
years 1843, 1844, and 1845, has just been published. Th,e
duties received in January, 1845, amounted to 11,360,0291.
In 1844 they were only 10,350,169 E, being 361,000 f• less than

the preceding year. -
The Minister of Commerce has issued a circular notice to
the ports cf the kingdom, announcing that he had decided,
in concert with the Minister of Finances, that henceforth
captains of foreign ships shall be at liberty
to apply to
either
the Marine-office, the Custom-house, their own onsuls, or
e
to the sworn commercial brokers, for certificates of their Ogg,
the tonnage of their vessels, the captains' names, the numbgr
of their crews, the nature of their cargoes, and their cleating"
tions.
General Santos, and Evarist San Miguel, and General
Aleson, have been permitted to return to Madrid. It WI
reported that the number of Deputies in the new elector*.
law, about to be presented to the Cortes, would be increase('

by at least 100.
