SHEFFIELD ASSAY OFFICE.—We have no doubt that
many of our townspeople, as well as our readers generally,
will be surprised, in common with ourselves, at learning
the amount of business done at this office. We think
they will be gratified when we tell them that from Mid-
summer, 1814, to ATidstantner, 1845, the weight of silver
assayed and marked at this office was 61,398 ounces ; and
from Midsummer, 1845, to Midsummer, 1816, the silver
goods on which duty was paid amounted to no less a
weight than 6(i,382 ounces, showing an increase over last
yeartrf near 5000 ounces. The weight of silver above'
named has been tnantCactured into tea-urns, epergnes:
candelabra, candlesticks, ice-pails, cake, fruit, and breau
baskets, &c. In addition to these heavier kinds of goods'
between 5000 and 6000 small articles, such as tea and
table-spoons, knives, forks, blades, &c., have been Woe
in this town during the last twelve months, and we earl
assure our readers, on official authority, that the silver
used by our manufacturers is purer in quality than eveo

- AUDIE,CES.—One everilL
lately, the beautiful dancer, Madlie. Cerito, was ill"
too ill to dance in the ballet of Oodine, as advertised,
Bills stating this were put up at the doors, in the form °'
apology, with notice that another ballet, including very
beautiful dancing, was substituted. The luxurious people
who attend the opera do not seem to hair& remembered, Orl
this occasion, anything to the purpose ; and they behaved
so foolishly that it would be charitable to hope that none
of them were yet in their teens. They do not seem !1°
have remembered that they themselves are sometimes I`
—that they might be so oftener if they had stage dancief
to do in extremely hot weather—that when a perfurme_
engages to perform for a certain term, he does not engag,*
to live and be well, but comes under the ordinary condi'
tions of all contracts. Nor do they appear to have re,
membered the inhumanity to the sick person, nor the in;
' suit to her substitutes, of quarrelling with them, instead
of with the decrees of fate. They made a disgraceful 'jot,
and kept it up till the curtain fell. One dancer, Perrot,
was grossly insulted, made a scolding speech in French,
tore his hair, and rushed off the stage. Madlle. Grab°'
another dancer, implored mercy, by clasping her hands av
