The Docx TREASURER.—The Dock Committee, at their
meeting yesterday week, increased the salary of Mr. Wm.
Withers, the treasurer, from £5OO to £750 per annum, in
consideration of his long and faithful services to the estate.

MISS ADELAIDE KEMBLE.—THEATRE-ROYAL.—MiSS
Adelaide Kemble commences her long-talked of, long-an-
nounced engagement next Monday night. She will be ably
supported. Miss Rainforth, has always delighted the audiences
here " with the music of her most sweet voice." Mr. W.
Weiss has also won fame amongst us—his short career else-
where has been very successful. Although Mr. Shrivall is
unknown to us, Mr. Ralf* has a host of admirers. A week
of great musical pleasure may be anticipated. The enter-
prise of the lessees we hope will be amply rewarded. It must
be remembered that their expenses will be enormous.
FEMALE ATTRACTION !—The greatest of all female attrac-
tions is " a white and delicate skin." No other attribute of
beauty wins so much upon the eye, and excites general ad-
miration. We know of no invention that so truly possesses
the power of bestowing the fascination of a beautiful skin like
ROWLAND'S KALYDOR. The Kalydor, which is odori-
ferously pleasant to the olfactory nerves, imparts to the
hands, face, or neck, a cooling and refreshing feeling, while
it successfully opposes with its bland and soothing influence,
the scorching rays of the summer sun. We understand that
mothers, in nursing, find the Kalydor a most welcoms aux-
iliary.—See advt.

CONVERSION FROM ROMANISM.-011 Friday last ano-
ther individual read his recantations of the errors of popery
in the Holy-Trinity Church, Birkenhead. His infant child
was baptised at the same time. It must be very gratifying
to Mr. Baylee thus to reap the fruit of his labours amongst
his Roman Catholic parishioners. Those who doubt the
vaiue of faithful and affectionate controversy, have now had
many practical proofs of its importance. This is the seventh
person who has publicly renounced the errors of Romanism
in the same church since Easter. Several others have given
up the errors of Romanism, who have not had the courage
to come forward publicly. We trust we are not outstepping
the bounds of propriety, in saying to all the ministers of the
Church of England, " go and do likewise."

Mr. CATLIN'S GALLERY.—In cansequence of the re-
opening of the Mechanics' Institution Schools, Mr. Catlin's
Indian Gallery has been obliged to be closed. He has,
however, taken the Portico, where he intends giving a series
of lectures upon the subject of Indian Nations, illustrating
them with his clever pictures, and also by tableaux vivans,
the groups of which will be formed by the same persons
employed by Mr. Catlin when in London. These grcups,
we have been told, are extremely beautiful, and surpassingly
accurate. The first lecture commences on Monday.

ZOOLOGICAL GA.RDENS.-It will be seen by the advertise.
ment, that on Monday and Wednesday next two grand gala's
will take place at these beautiful gardens. Many novelties
are in preparation,—amongst others, Mademoiselle Rossini,
who has been astonishing the Londoners in the shape of
terrific ascents, it la Madame Saqui, will run up a rope 300
feet long, at an elevation of 60 feet from terra firma, and
descend amidst a brilliant display of fireworks. Balloons
are to be inflated, and additional pyrotechnic works will
be displayed. The gardens will be illuminated also with a
thousand variegated lamps. Stubbs' Band will give anima-
tion to the scene, so that a very great treat may be anticipated.

THE ROCK HARAIONICON.—Another of these sweet but
rare instruments, composed of Skiddaw stones, is now ex-
hibiting at the Music-hall, under the direction of Mr. John
Davies, the organist, who, it will be recollected, delighted
every one who heard him, by his masterly mode of handling
sweeter, ythe
