SHEFFIELD ASSAY OFFICE.—We have no doubt that
many of our townspeople, as well as our readers gene'
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, 1844, to Midsummer, 1815, the weight of silver
assayed and marked at this office was 61,398 ources ; and
from Midsummer, 1845, to Midsummer, 1816, the silver
goods on which duty was paid amounted to no less a
weight than 66,382 ounces, showing an increase over last
year of near 5000 ounces. The weight of silver above-
named has been manufactured into tea-urns, epergnes,
c
baskets, &c. In addition to these heavier kinds of goods.
between 5000 and 6000 small articles, such as tea and
t aa
bnldee-lsabporoa,
n sc,akn
knives,
ve
es
st candlesticks,
kisc:bplaaidl se, fruit, and bread
blades,
have been mole
in this town during the last twelve months, and we call
assure cur readers, on official authority, that the silver
used by our manufacturers is purer in quality than evert
the law requires.. The fact is known to her Majesty's
Assay Master, and to every officer at the Royal Mints
and we have no doubt this is an inducement for pur-
chasers to prefer Sheffield plate to that of any other town
in the kingdom, London not excepted.—Sheifield Mer-
cury.

ABSURDITY OF THEATRE AUDIEN evenia
lately, the beautiful dancer, Madlle. Cerito, was ill--
too ill to dance in the ballet of Ondine, as advertised:.

Bills stating this were put up at the doors, in the form of
apology, with notice that another ballet, including yell
beautiful dancing, was substituted. The luxurious people
who attend the opera do not seem to have remembered, 01
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 to
have remembered that they themselves are sometimes ill
—that they might be so oftener if they had stage dancing
to do in extremely hot weather—that when a performer
engages to perform for a certain term, he does not engage
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 lilt'
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. Madge. Gralitl;
another dancer, implored mercy, by clasping her handset
the stage lamps, poor thing ! They let her dance, b
there was no more peace—no more enjoyment for any onei
The Opera public showed itself an insufferable spode'
child that evening. Here we have an instance of the eSi
treme that bard, luxurious selfishness can reach.--2/41
Martineau, in the People's Journal. if
The anxiety that a man feels for the want of funms
called capital punishment.
