Tlie bill of faro of tho Manchester Siiakspearian Society appears in our advertising columns tins day. It is attractive in itself. "As You Like It," llosidind and Orlando, Audrey and Touch-atone, and the melancholy Jacques, are personages that never fail to call up associations uf beauty and enthusiasm, and wit and philosophy, that warm our hearts and expand our intellects, and make the most phlegmatic speak in nervous eloquence of the genius of Shakspearc. But, beside the attractions of the bill, the object uf the porformaXoc lias a pecu iar claim to the sympathies of the public. The Eye and Ear Infirmary has for many years CJiifeire its beuelils on those of tlie poorer classes, not only of our own town, but from ail parts of the three who have been afdiete with painful mala lies which affect the sight and hearing.

Last year no fewer than 72SU persons wno were suffering from diseases of tho eye and ear wore relieved at this institution. The expenses of boarding patients must be very great, and numerous are the cases which require that the patient remain under the roof of the Infirmary. One of the benevolent characteristics of this institution is that all persons unable to pay for their cure (whose case may require an operation, or whose disease is of su di a character as to endanger the loss of sight, if judicious and appropriate remedies aro not promptly administered) arc deemed fit objects for recommendation as in-patients." The debt, which lias accumulated to upwards of OUt), has arisen out of the extansiveness of the good that the institution has effected, aad the present taudabb effort of the Manchester Siiaksperiiin Society for its liquidation wa have no doubt will meet with the hearty cooperation of our We are glad to learn that some of the Town Council are using their iiiHuonce to secure a bumper; ant! wo hope that we shall have to record (hat not a single member of that body failed to show liii sympathy foi so dt-soruus au institution.

Tliat tlie Liverpool Eye an 1 liar Infirmary is highly ctlicient in its means for the relief of sufferers, the testimony of thousands will bear evidence. The following letter, addressed to -Mr. Neill, anil rea by the treasurer at the last annual meeting of the subscribers, is only one of many instances uf the good effected hy this institution Colei'aine, 10th January 1851.

Dear Sir, It was not until yesterday that I had an opportunity of seeing and examining tlie woman, M'Cloan, who went from Kiilowen-strcet, in this town to The Eye and Ear Infirmary' at Liverpool. When I first saw her, in company with another minister who called witli me at tlie house, she was quite helpless, and required to be led by the hand. It was in this way that she made out my house on the next day, for the purpose of receiving sonic assistance to enable her to undertake tlie journey to Liverpool. I made particular enquiries about her, and learned that, from being in comparative comfort, she and her husband, owing to her loss of sight and inability to aid him, wore in the deepest poverty, and destitute of the commonest neecssaiies of life. When she called upon me yestanlay, the change in her appearance was so great, that I could hardly have recognised her.

She is now in the fullest enjoyment of lier eyesight, and expressed the deepest gratitude for the attention and kindness shown to her, and for the wonderful cure wrought upon her. Allow me, my dear sir, to add my own acknowledgments, and to express my very high appreciation of your abilities and of what is still more rare your kindliness and sympathy to wards those children of affliction who have, from time to time, gone from this neighbourhood to your important ami truly valuable institution.

Under fhe direction of the curator of the aviary, considerable attention has of late been 'paid to tlie artificial incubation of birds by means of Cantello's incubator. During tho past year more care than usual has been exercised both in extending the process and increasing the varieties of production. The latest novelty, and one which certainly lias had no parallel in tins country, Das been the hatching of six emus. This bird, of which there are several specimens at Knowsley, is a native of New South Wales. It has beon found possible on former occasions to hatch tho birds in a natural way but recently a case occurred which called for artificial incubation, "or the entire loss of the One of these birds laid ten eggs, the ninth of which she broke, and the bird refused to sit.

Eight of the eggs were therefore placed in the artificial incubator, and two were left to the bird, in the hope that sho would again lay and that the eggs would be hatched. This, however, proved a failure. The eggs placed in the incubator remained during tlie customary time of tlie bird's and thev were watched with great interest flay ami niglit. At lenutli the time eggs rolled into one. The young bird has its feathers marked in black and white stripes, running from tho bill to tlie tail in lines, and it is also dotted with spots of black.

The feathers, which at this periotl are downy, change their character as the bird grows older, resolving themselves into an approximation to those of the ostrich. Instead of straight lines running down the bird's body, the feathers divide themselves by a parting down tlie back, with an inclination to the right and to the left. Tne stripes are also lost, and instead of a scries of lines me leameis iuiiii iium mm iiiiuc-ueie ueepcuuig nearly "no a uiacii, aim uiere losing inemseives in a uiouBn it is not strictly an aquatic bird.

II. Pattison. FIRE. Yesterday, a lire, attended with most serious results to property, occurred in Great Howard-street. The premises in which the fire originated are occupied by Messrs.

AV. Deane and and the building belongs, as we were informed, to a lady named Parkes. The buildings are known as Parke's Certified Shed. It appeavsitliat shortly before two o'clock smoke was first observed issuing from the building. The discovery was made by tho warehouseman, who hat! been absent only a short time.

An alarm was instantly communicated to the fire-station, and Inspector Bibby, with a large body of the. tire brigade and five engines, proceeded immediately to the spot. The lire had, however, by this time assumed an alarming aspect; tlie flames were issuing through the roof, audit appeared evident that the fire had been smothering for some time before it broke forth in such a manner as to become observable. On the arrival of the engines they were brought into play with all possible promptitude, and a plentiful supply of water being obtainable, vigorous efforts were made to subdue the flames. The firo, however, having in the first instance gained tlie.

ascendancy, little could be done, beyond preventing its spread to the adjoining premises, those on the north being warehouses, stored with merchantable produce on tlie south were several dwelling-houses, and tho inmates of course becoming alarmed, began to remove their furniture, as it appeared probable at that time that the fire would extend beyond the building iu which it originated. Fortunately, through the exertions of the fire brigade, this did not take place. A portion of tha furniture was much damaged in the removal, though tiie unfortunate sufferers received every assistance from the police which it was in their power to give. The fire continued its progress almost unabated for upwards of an hour, after which, from the immense quantities of water poured upon it, the flames gradually subsided, and by four o'clock all apprehension as to its "spreading to the adjacent property was at an end. Tlie firemen did their duty most efficiently, under the direction of their superintendent, Mr.

Bibby. Mr. Superintendent Towerson, with inspectors White and 'Donald, and about twenty of the fire-police, rendered essential service in preserving order, and protecting the property recovered from the lire. Mr. Duncan, the deputy borough engineer, was early on tlie spot, and gave every assistance in his power also Mr.

A. Stone, of the Liverpool office, and Messrs. Sutton, of the Phoenix. Amongst those present was Mr. J.

Hewitt, late of the fire-station, who has for some time been unable to follow his usual occupation from indisposition. Ho was exceedingly active on the occasion in giving advice and assist ance, anu ins lieaitn appears now so iar resuircu uian nu will in a short time, be able to resume his loriiier duties. Connected with the shed adjoining that of Messrs. Deane, is a stron" parapet wall which protected the building, and to a ereaf extent prevented the spread of tlie fire in that direction. The fire brigade continued their exertions till about six o'clock, when, all apprehension of further clanger being at au end, they ceased playing upon the burning The building was completely gutted, and B.1 1 the whole Ot tne conteiiLS, moru or less uesiaojuu.
