CHEAP TRIP TO THE LAKES.—It Will be seen by an
advertisement in our paper of to-day, that the steamer
Windermere is about to make an excursion to the lakes.
The fares are extremely low, and those who are fond of
lovely scenery will not, we think, lose such
.a favourable
opportunity.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. G. Wild and Mr.
Rogers, of the Strand Theatre, keep the risible muscles
in constant play at this establishment. The former, in
particular, is one of that race of players of whom it may
he said " none but himself can be his parallel"—in broad
farce at all events. Mr. Lyon has been alternating with
them in tragedy. Amongst the ladies of the establish-
ment we cannot but observe the growing merit of a very
charming little actress Miss Saunders. This young lady
seems at home in any thing from a chambermaid's part to
a grenadier's.

NEW GUN.—We bad the pleasure during the past week
of inspecting a new eun which has recently been patented
by our townsman, Mr. Bentley, in which advantages over
the ordinary percussion gun are numerous. The cap is
placed on the end of the barrel, and when struck by the
hammer, which is much snugger than in ordinary guns,
causes an instant ignition of the whole powder. About
one half tbe.usual quantity of powder is sufficient for a
charge.
It will be seen by an advertisement in our paper of to-
day that Mr. George Sidney, who has so long been pro-
prietor of the highly celebrated boot and shoe warehouse,
Paradise-street, has declined business, and is succeeded
by his assistant, Mr. Humphreys, under whose manage-
ment the business has long been conducted. There is,
therefore, no doubt but that it will succeed.

JOHNS' PATENT CEMENT.—The only objection hitherto
urged against Roman cement, is that of its requiring a
frequent coating of paint to render it durable; and, to
remedy this defect, a material has been produced by
Messrs. Johns and Co., in which the liquids used are
such as not only to render it impervious to water, but to
give a beautiful appearance, partaking of the colour of
the sand with which it is mixed. It never requires any
paint, and the expense is less than that of the common
Roman cement. A;. Holly Bank House, Clifton Park,
and at the Grove Villa, Fairfield, it has been recently
used with great success.
STRUCTURE OF THE TEETH.—The teeth, it is well
known to physiologists, are composed of bony structure,
which is covered with a coating of enamel—a substance of
a fibrous nature, and so hard as to strike fire with a steel.

THEATRE ROYAL Vandenhoff and his seem-
pl'shed daughter have been delighting us during the past
week with their tine personation• of Creon and Antroone,
and on Friday the new play of Honesty was introduced
for the benefit of Miss Vandenhoff. The attractions of
each evening have been greatly enhanced by the perform-
ances of the regular company, which corr•prises several
actors and actres•es of great merit, in particular Mr. Cres-
wick, Mr. Meld, and Mrs. Seymour. 7 his lady has
greatly improved in her acting since she first appeared on
these boards a few yea' s ago. M r.f Cresvtick, we regard,
as a very promising actor, who -is not as yet sufficiently
estimated by the public. It will be seen that the new
less-e is not sparing in his promise of novelties. Mr.
and Mrs. Kean succeed the Vandenhoffs.
