MEe. Ay0SIA JoNEs BRooKE.- This
! gifted lady, who, under her maiden name
! Avonia Jones-is remembered in this city,
a. one Of the most accomplished and really
/ talented actresses that ever appeared before
| the theatrical public, Is now in Europe
! pursuing her profession, and meeting every
| where with distinguished success. We have
| been permitted to read a recent letter from
| her. dated at EdinbuTg, Scotland, 10
| friend in this CITY. While heroicallv per
| forming her duty, and perlecting the foun-
dation Of fame, which, IL her health be
spared, will be second 20 none Of her CO.
temporaries, she is still plunged in deep
grief for the sad fate Of her husband, the
distinguished actor, G. Y. Brooke, who, il
will be remembered, was lost at sea a year
ago or more.
An evidence Of the true dramatic genius
which Mrs. Brooke possesses, is shown in
the fact, that in the depths Of this domestic
affection, she is successfully cultivating the
lighter features Of her art, and wringing APP
plause from critical and refined audiences,
in such characters a. FanchOn, "The

Of her many friends in this city, in express
ing the hope that by the time her engage
ments commence, we may have a success
ful management at the head Of at least one
Of orr theatres, and that we may have the
pleasure Of greeting Mrs. Brooke

A Law FOR THE BENEFIT or PRoDU-
GERS or MARKET STUFFs.-The attention
ofthe owners Of market gardens and other
producers in the vicinity of Nashville is
particularly directed 10 the appended law
enacted by the City Council al a recent
meeting, which is intended to protect them
against the undue competition Of huck5ters
and middle men. Under this law they are
given the exclusive right to rent and oc-
cupy the places allotted on each side of the
market house, at a reasonable price, and we
hope they will avail themselves at once of
the Driyilegp Our CITY peOule vii be
gratihed with this movement as its ten
dency is to limit the tax on producers, and
secure TO them fresh vegetables, butter, eggs,
etc which all know how to appreciate.

derman Kinney for this timely law. II is
as follows
