PROMENADE CONCERTS, ENG-

LISH OPERA-HOUSE.

These delightful concerts were last evening resumed at
this house. Signor Orsini, from the Philharmonic Con-
certs at Rome, making his first appearance before an
English audience as conductor. Signor Orsini is a
thorough musician, understands what his duty is as a
conductor, and executes it perfectly, without any of
those apish airs and affectations in which some of the
white-gloved race delight to indulge. In a word,
he is worthy to succeed M. Musard, and this we consider
no mean praise. Among the pieces performed last even-
ing, was a fantasia, including all the most popular airs
from Donizetti's opera L'Elisir d' Amore, in the arrange-
ment and adaptation of which Signor Orsini has exhi-
bited great taste, and considerable .musical skill. The
performance of this fantasia wa's much applauded. Mr.
Richardson also made his first appearance at these Con-
certs, since his return from Ireland, and performed a
series of variations on " God save the. Queen" on the
flute, with his accustomed taste and ability. This gen-
tleman is decidedly the first flute player of the day, and
we are glad to see that he is engaged to perform at these
Concerts every evening during the week. In addition to
the u.mal selection of overtures, waltzes, and, quadrilles,
we had a grand selection from the music of the Tempest;
which was admirably performed, and loudly apßlttAled/
.The house was exceedingly well filled. ""

DECAYED TEETH.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, AND LOSS OF
TEETH SUPPLIED. '

Mr. THOMAS, Surgeon-Dentist, CS, Berners-street, Ox-
ford-street, continues to restore DECAYED TEETH with
his MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, without pain or pres.
sure, and fastens loose teeth, whether arising from age, neg-
lect, or disease of the gums. Mr. Thomas's new method of
supplying the loss of teeth, by self-adhesion, without springs
or wires, and without extracting any teeth or stumps.—They
are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth by forming a new gum
where the gums have shrunk, from the use of calomel or other
causes. The teeth are of an entirely new description ). they
will never decay, or became discoloured, and will always appear
as well as when first placed in the mouth, and are less expen-
sive than any teeth. Their exact resemblance to nature defies
detection even bz the most intimate friend.

RUMOURS OX' THE EAT.

A general belief now prevails that the Prince of Wales
will be chriStened, Albert Edward. We should be glad
if this were only a rumour, and so, we believe, would the
whole of the community. There appears to be a strong
feeling against adopting a new name in the line of our
kings. Edward was the name of the Prince's grand-
father, the Duke of Kent, and one, too, for which the
public have perhaps a greater veneration than any other.
If the nation were polled, ninety-nine out of a hundred
would vote for Edward VII.

CLEBKENWELL.

Mary Cleal,- a cook in the employment of John
Walton, Esq., Barnsbury-square, Islington, was
charged on suspicion of robbing her master of 571.,
and stealing 51., his property.
Mr. Walton, it appears, left 1051. in a deed-box
about two months ago, which he locked, and placed
under the sofa in his front parlour. On Tuesday
morning last he counted it, and found it deficient 571.
By the advice of Inspector Thatcher he marked a
large number of the sovereigns privately on the same
night, put in the same place, and retired to rest. The
next morning he found the box exactly where he
placed it, and locked and fastened as he had left it.
He opened it, however, and found that five sovereigns
more had been abstracted. The Police Inspector was
sent for, and he found the five sovereigns in the pri-
soner's drawer, marked. She confessed-the robbery,
and was taken to the station-house.

She wka remanded till Wednesday next, that her
accomplices may be apprehended.
A swindler, who passed by the names of Byrne,
Williams, and Thomas, at different times, was charged
with robbing his master, Mr. Martin, oilman and
chandler, Cow Cross-street, of 111., 21., 41., and
various other sums of money, and, with obtaining
goods on false pretences.
The prisoner admitted the embezzlements, and was
committed for trial.

Wm. Thomas, who was charged with the man-
slaughter of Joseph Ellis, by driving an omnibus over
him, was this day discharged, Mr. Combe considering
the evidence of too conflicting a nature to warrant
him in sending the case for trial.

MAW £ND POLICE.

Henry Morgan was on Tuesday finally examined at
Clerkenwell, charged with having committed several
daring street robberies in the neighbourhood of Isling-

and stealing from it a quantity of plate_ The pri
soner was remanded till to-day.

Hall with stealing a phaeton and chaise, and other
coach tools. He was committed, but allowed bail.

was brought up at Kensington for re-examination, on
a charge of committing an outrage on a boy named
Thomas Dawley. Bail was refused, and the prisoner
fully committed.

iIIARYLEBONE.

The revision of the list of voters for this borough
was resumed yesterday by Mr. Alfred Austin.
In the case of a burgess who was objecteel to by the
Conservatives, on the ground that he had not been
continuously in occupation of the house for which he
claiined, the same having been six month 3 in the pos-
session of the assignees and officers of the Insolvent
Debtors' Court, the Barrister decided in favour of the
insolvent's vote.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
There was a quiet market yesterday, both for goods
and yarn ; and, in the absence of any brisk demand,
prices showed some tendency to recede. The real
state of the market, however, cannot be ascertained
until the general resumption of employment, and the
production of a full supply of goods, shall have brought
forward the orders which have been suspended on
account of the turn• out.

110CHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, SEPT.
19.--We have had a very brisk demand for flannels
to-day, and pieces have been eagerly bought up; but
the manufacturers have not yet been able to obtain a
decided advance in price. The wool market continues
in much the same state it has been for some Mondays
past. The dealers are very willing to sell at former
prices, and the manufacturers buy very sparingly.

As a very large proportion of our people are
engaged in manufactures, and as a still larger
proportion must be so engaged, or find no em-
ployment at all, and as a great deal is said of
the demoralising nature of such employinent it
seems advisable to form as correct a notion
.as
possible of the influence of manufactures on the
character of a people. To. do this it is necessary
to distinguisa between the effects of manufite,
turing industry and the effects of our peculiar
right of pr.iperty. It is also necessary to avoid
confoundinz the manufacturing population with
the loose and idle persons who are to be found in
every large town, lint who are no more a fair
specimen.of the whole than are the two or three
smugglers, or poachers who may be found in
L'lt't every village a fair specimen of the agri-
cultural population. On this bead such a warn-
ing fis sufficient. To discritninate between the
effects, of property and the effects of manufac-
turing industry, we must extend our remarks.

Ili this country property is already heaped up in
great masses, and there are a great multitude of
men who have to live on wages earned from day
to daX,. lu no other country of Europe is there
such
.11 mass of labourers, owning nothing but
their labour, to be found, as in our islands. The
hulk of the peasantry have no interest in the soil
but that which they derive from poor-rates,
which` seems to be just enough to keep them
quiet,tWh'atever degradation may be their lot,

A PROPRIETOR suggested that, as the accounts
were so extensive, they should be printed for the use
of the Proprietors.
A. CoLvILLE, Esq., Deputy-Chairman, said that it
was the intention of the Directors to propose that the
Report should be received; but, before doing so, they
wished to hear the opinion of the Proprietors.
Mr. LIGGINS observed that four years had elapsed
since the Company had had a Royal Charter, and
during that period no opportunity had been given,
till the present moment, for the Proprietors to meet
together to take into consideration the affairs of the
Company. He should have been happy, uon th
present occasion, if he could have offered the come-

THE STADT DUTIES.

The Morning Chronicle of yesterday contains
short and venomous notice of the treaty with Hanover,
which is on the point of signature, for the future re-
gulation of the Stadt duties—an article which cap
tains almost as many lies as sentenceo, it i$ notorious
that the Stadt duties are the liewilitary property of
the King of Hanover, 4114 tV•aceahle' as to their origin
up to the very c3orlipi era of German history; and
there
to which they are now about to be sub-
mitt ulaioll
mitt will have reference, not so much to their
amount as to the mode of collection, The Chronicle
asserts that the tendency of the proposed treaty will
be to augment the present amount of the impost, and
to lay upon English commerce a. burden equal to
.100,000/. per annum ! The truth is, that the opera-
tion of the new system will be. to ai.iwish the levy
by the abolition of all fees wilts collection ; and this
diminution will be eft cted on a gross amount which
TIPM exceeded by more than a few 144474 au ave•
rage of 14,0001. per annum on Jititi4 shipping! So
much for this fresh ilhistrOion, adduced by the
Chronicle, of the §Oiwifice of the.commercial interests
of lisreutl by the ConservatiVe Government,—Post.

As her Majesty (Tema wha,,Vokbn such a liking
ma to Scotland, have 09 ~M t that the beautiful
goluery of that country will attract the notice of
strangers even more than it leas hitherto done. We
understand that the Directors of the Northern Rail-
roath ate about making an arrangement to ruu the
train which leaves London at 'a quartet past nine in
the morning, through to Darlington (where there are
some most comfortable inns) in-twelve hours. There
are coaches frau] Darlington to Edinburgh in about
fourteen hours, When this arrangement is coin-
picted a person will be able to leave Brighton in the
morning, say at half-past six, and reach Darlington
that night soon after nine. The whole expence from
Brighton to Edinburgh by the first class carriages,
and: outside the coach beyond Darlington, is under

LAW AND Pozacm.
At Marylebone Police Court yesterday', Mr. Hutch-
ings, landlord of the Coach and Horses, Welbeck-street,
appeared on an information of Miller, an inspector, who
charged him with keeping his house open for the sale of
liquors before one in the afternoon of Sunday, the 16th
instant. A sergeant and a police-constable were ex-
amined, and a number of respectable witnesses, were
called to prove that no liquors were sold, when Mr. Raw-
linson dismissed the case.
Joseph Morgan, the youth charged with wounding
dangerously Mrs. Brown, the wife of a carpenter, while
shooting at sparrows, again appeared on his bail at
Lambeth-street. The unfortunate woman was carried
into Court, and appeared to be suffering much, when
the Magistrate expressed his regret that she had been
brought out in such a condition, and remanded the pri-
soner for a month.
James Murphy, a man about 40 years of age, whose
clothes were in a most ragged condition, was committed
at Thames-street Police-court, on a charge of stealing a
half quartern loaf. When searched, the police-constable
found on him Is. gd. in money, six red herrings, and
five pounds of potatoes. The plea of hunger was there-
fore disproved, and the Magistrate, after stating that the
practice of stealing bread from shops was become very
common said, he should commit the prisoner to Newgate,
and bind over the witnesses to prosecute.

TORY FALSEHOODS.

The following letter has been sent to the Editors of
the West of England Conservative and Devonport Inde-
pendent, from the latter of whom we have received an
early copy :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEST OF ENGLAND CONSERVATIVE.
SlR—Your Paper of Wednesday, the 12th inst., hes
been sent me,.with a paragraph marked, in order that
it may attract my attention. In the paragraph to which
I refer, it is stated that " just previous to the over-
throw of the Whig-Radical Government, a large batch
of youngsters, mostly from Cornwall, were placed in the
Royal Military Academy by the Master-General of the
Ordnance ;" and " that in consequence of the Master
having complained of the inconveniently crowded state
of the School, the higher authorities had ordered the
dismissal of several of the new comers." Upon this pa-
ragraph, I shall merely observe that it is as unjust to the
present as it is to the late'Master-General. Even if the
Academy were too crowded (which is not the case), Sir
George .Murray is much too just, and too good a man, to
dismiss any cadets for the purpose of making more room
only, or without having good reason for so doing ; and
as to the imputation meant to be conveyed against
me, by the assertion that the " last batch were mostly
from Cornwall," the fact is, that of the twenty-
seven ordered for re-examination (I have the list now
before me) I really do not believe there is one having
any connection whatever with the county. That I
thought it necessary to augment the number of cadets
at the Academy, I am quite ready to admit, and if any
one doubts the existence of such necessity, I would refer
him to the number of vacant commissions, both in the
Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. The supply,
under the former establishment of the Academy, was not,
in fact, equal to the demand.* But that I ever, in any
way, unworthily used the patronage for political pur-
poses, as you, Mr. Editor, would have your readers be-
lieve, I utterly and positively deny.
I am, Sir, yours, &C., VIVIAN.
Glynn, Bodmin, Jan. 22, 1842.
*- I should state that I had begun increasing the establish-
ment at the Academy very long before I went out of office.

fox-hounds of the late Earl of Harewood will not be
transferred to the kennels at Bramham or Wother-

but that they will remain at the kennels at Harewood as
heretofore, and be limited under the direction of the
present Earl of Harewood. On the day the late Lord
died the pack numbered 54i couples, or 109 dogs. Of
these 9 were six years old, 14 five years old, 17 four

Dfrenina,n pronouncing the commitment to have been bad.
On Monday at Queen-square four boys, the youngest
nine, and the eldest thirteen years of age, were brought
before the Magistrate, charged with stealing coals from
the wharf of Mr. Badcock, of Chelsea. Mr. Badcock
properly interposed in their favour, as they wore all of
tender years ; but as some suspicion existed that they
were encouraged by their parents, they were ordered to
pay a fine of 20s. each. Having no money, they wore
sent to prison.
Six pauper girls were sentenced to various periods lof
imprisonment and hard labour, for breaking the windows
of %Vhitechapel workhouse and riotous conduct. The
Magistrates, on passing sentence, remarked, that it would
be a saving to the parish to pay a proper person to super-
intend and control these paupers, as it appeared the
damage done by them in the present instance, was a
guinea, and fbr some weeks he believed it averaged the
same, so that paying a person would be a saving in
the end.

At several of the police-offices on Monday, various sums
of money were received by the Magistrates for the relief
of the poor.

The 42d Testimonial in favour of that excellent Medi-
cine HOLLAND'S BALSAM of SPRUCE:
" Brompton, 14th April, 1841.
" DEAR SIR—My prejudices being somewhat strong, I could
not prevail upon myself to try your ' Holland's Balsam of
Spruce,' until accidentally hearing of a wonderful cure being
effected upon a friend of mine by its use, I was induced to over-
come my scruples and give it a trial ; and upon using it, I have
the pleasing satisfaction of stating, for the information of others,
who, like myself, may be labouring under the cruel affliction of
confirmed asthma, that I have experienced so much benefit as
to truly say I have not been so easy for many a long and weary
year ; and am convinced that, in all cases similar, your Balsam
of Spruce will be, as it shall be with me, a constant companion
and bosom friend.

" I have not attempted to describe my sufferings ; they are
too well known and felt by all asthmatic persons to need de-
scribing; but earnestly hoping that others may be induced to
make the experiment, and obtain the same gratifying result,
and that you may be rewarded for your ingenuity in discover-
ing so valuable a medicine, I remain, Sir, yours gratefully,
" THOS. DAVIS."

Upwards of a hundred cases of cures are now in course of
publication in 200 newspapers throughout the kingdom, in-
cluding many of extraordinary character, to which sufferers are
referred; its astonishing fewer in subduing coughs and colds
exceeds all belief, whilst its healing, balsamic, and soothing
qualities instantly relieve soreness and tightness of the chest,
sense of suffocation, sore throat, &c.
