DOCK COMMITTEE. THURSDAY.—in consequence of
the fire which tsccorred on board the Chieftain in the
Brunswick graving dock, it was ordered, at the sugges-
tion of the h•rbonr master, that no ve•sel should be
" sweated" unless the waterman was in attendance and
had his pipes on board.—The clause intended to be in-
serted in the new bill for lengthening the time during
which timber will be allowed to remain on the dock quays
was submitted, but it was ordered to be altered so as to
leave it optional with the committee to grant 72 hours, if
they thought it desirable.

A policeman immediately threw her a " life-buoy," and,
by the help of a seaman. named Shepherd, who I tilled off
his jacket and jumped into a host, rescued her from her
perilous siti ration. A woman to whom the seamen gave

wards apprehended wi, h it in her posss ssion.

which reflected so much credit on Mr. Brisloe, is adver-

BONNETS.—It will be sr en in our adverti-ing columns
that Mrs. Gardner, who now occupies eligible premises in
Bold-street, is now prepared with her Spring stock,
which, having been all selected within the last few
months, is replete with much variety. Indeed, we hear
the lidies say, that they are not only becoming in shape,
but are displayed in such variety that the most fastidious
taste may be suited.
CIGARS.—Mr. Henry Stafford, who has long been re..
pitted, amongst those who " puff away the c-,res of life,"
nit only as an excellent judge of cigars, but as a dealer
only in an excellent snide, hHa opened another shop in
Church-street, where he Promises (and those who know
him will not doubt his veraci'y) to supple, on tradesman-
like termsethose fine-flat oured and hi,hly-adruiredrigirs

a:taint idea of the facility with which every part is pour-
trayed. Every important internal part is heoutifuly
shown, and accompanied by a description so talented and
intelligible, that visitors are not only interested, but highly
benefited. Separate days are spur priat-d to ladi S.
