l'refit, as will be seen-by the following list of prices:

A. 'MOST EXTRAORDINARY VAL 658
ENTTNE RECE
?DROZIGH THE POST-OFFlCE.—Perhaps
one of theIVED best
Jokes that has recently taken plice, occurred last Valen-
tine's-day, in Manchester, when a gentleman, bachelor,
of that town, received through the post-office, from one
of the most fashionable watering-places, a beautiful
stuffed,cat, with several mottos attached
ht roundhiits.ine,ck
with ribbon; one in the shape of
written, " A gift from the old maidsa ofear 11. wAnco'tllars,
" A fireside companion." " A good housekeeper during
an afternoon's ride." "An old bachelor's friend."
" Smile if you like—laugh if you can. .* 'When the cat
is in the way, the mice at your house dare not play.''
MANUSCRUTS OF DR. DODD.—Certain interesting
manuscripts, being autograph works of the above men-
tioned divine, will, it is expected, in a few weeks be sub-
mitted to public sale. They have long lain stored up in
the library of a family to whom they were given by the
doctor himself, shortly before his execution. Amongst
these curious remains of a once noted character, are the
original M.S.S. of Mr Dodd's -'Thoughts in Prison," as
Also a volume of unedited poems, and a comedy, in five
acts, entitled " Sir Roger de Coverley." We believe the
Poems were written in the house where Dr. Dodd was
Vested, viz., Goodenough-house, Ealing, the celebrated
°ld school, which is still, we believe, more flourishing than
ever. under its present talented principal.
PST. STEPHEN'S WALDROOK.—On Thursday an ad-
rned meeting was held in the vestry-room, Roger Can-
e. Esq , in the chair, for the purpose of further consi-
ering Mr. Alderman Gibbs'saccounts. Messrs. Howett,
Rock, and other speakers, having expressed themselves
Zuell dissatisfied with the conduct of Alderman Gibbs,
the manner in which he bad prepared his accounts,
:id
N. having stated that the parties selected by him as
ntharet.itors had not been approved of by the vestry. and that
etive ?l otoionsf them were unable to manage their own affairs, of want of confidence in Alderman Gibbs,
regeet declaratory of the incompetency of the auditors se-
ad. ed bY him, were passed. After which the vestry
the°._rued• Croly was present, but took no part in
t,Preeeedings.
latii°,4lr,s,MOTJTH THE ATRE.—OLI Monday evening, " Ma-
riorit` vvas produced at this hous.e, in a style of supe-
t Y and completeness which would do credit to a.me-
rePolit
new, an establishment. The scenery, which is entirely
and Painted by Mr. F. Lloyds, is of the most elaborate
and tlte
in"sing character, and the dresses really superb,
la scenic effects of the most astonishing description.
est 0,(1.4L scene in particular embodies talent of the. high-
hich tZr--".-we mean the apparent eruption of Vesuvius, in
Orti,,,',e.Plusion is most perfect. Of the actors, we may
6"alise Mr. Craven, Mr. Lynne, Mr. Wass, and
ereated"ner, as most praisewoithy—the latter especially
lkt, ,;Ileeh sympathy by her beautiful impersonation
,lebrilen,,the dumb ; and Mr. C: Lloyds danced the
nted a,'" Tarantella" with Miss Connor in a most spi-
n'
Ple4Bing manner.--Hampshire Advertiser.
