LAUNCH TO TAKE PLACE TO-MORROW.—About half-
past eleven o'clock to-morrow will be launched from the
building-yard of Messrs. J. Hodgson, and Co. (south end
of Brunswick,Doek,) a fine river steamer, built for Messrs.
Willoughby, and to run, as a companion to "The Birken-

head," between their ferry and Liverpool. She is an iron
vessel; is fo 'he:named "The Britannia;" and is of the
following dimensions :—Length over all 114 feet ; lencrth

WI keel 107 feet; breadth of hull 171 feet; and dept 9
feet 2 inches. She will be propelled by an engine of sixty
horse power, and from her model is expected to prove
herself a regular " clipper."
PAINLESS OPERATION.—Mr. T. Slater, surgeon, Gt.
George-street, has performed several of the minor surgi-
cal operations, in which the beneficial effects of the inhal-

ation of-the vapour of ether were fully proved, and, on-Sa-
turday, a young lady had two molar stumps extracted
while under its influence. The first was extracted with-
out ony pain, although an expression of pain upon the
countenance accompanied the removal of the second ; but,
when she had recovered from the lithargic state, she ex-
pressed her total insensibility to pain during the whole
operation. There seemed, however, a vague sensation of
fear, for, during the lithargic state, she dreamed that she
was. travelling on a railroad at a rapid rate. When the
effects of the etherial vapour had but partially subsided,
the young lady experienced an unusual buoyancy of spi-
rits, which was afterwards followed by a corresponding de-
pression.

several who had been her scholars more than twenty years
previous to the occasion. After a considerable time had,
been allowed for the mutual expression of kind feelings

towards each other, by those who constituted the happy
gathering of old school-fellows, addresses were made to

ROBBERY FROM A WAREHOUSE.—At the police court
yesterday, two men, Thomas Watson and Luke Melden,
were charged with having stolen five casks of saltpetre,
and -endeavouring to sell the same. It appeared that

Watson,;l7lla-d6been TO; twelve or fourteen years in the
employ of Mr. Lutwych, chemist (and without any impu-
tation on his honesty,) had taken, or sent away front his
master's premises, in Paul-street, on Thursday evening
last, five casks of saltpetre, weighing each 1121 b. These
were offered -Tor sale by the other prisoner, Meldon,. to
Mr. Benson, drysalter, Williamson-street, Church-street.
Mr. Benson had some like transactions with the prisoner
named, and had purchased from him of the same article,.
at a very small fraction lower per cwt. (only ls.) than he
had been served with by .Mr. Lutwych, who,- he-thought,
