':ere is another evil which we hope may be checked this salutary reformation, namely, the practice of at election for Members of Parliament.

TNE4TRIS. DaußT•LAtss.—Last night SHAICSIVAIIIt'S tragedy of Mae loth was performed at this Theatre, for the purpose of introducing Miss CAMPSILL in the charac ter of Lady Macbeth. This tragedy is in itself one of the richest feasts which SHAKSIMAISZ'S powerful Imagination Affords us. It is the most classical of all his productions, and in the various positions of . horrible effect in which the principal characters are placed, are Afforded opportunities for the exertion of the highest dramatic powers ; it is from this circum• stance ilia the hero and heroine of the piece have lou A been considered as the touchstones of the actor's powers. Mr. KRAN's Macbeth is one of those extra ordinary delineations of character, which wrap us in amazement. Last night his performance was most ; as usual, his dagger scene was a chef d'euvre ; in the banquet scene, he, if possible, tran scended himself, and when he had concluded, the whole was crowned by the loudest applauses.— But the novelty of the evening was Miss CAMPBELL'S Lady Mackth. This young Lady has certainly ta• lents, and after a longer acquaintance with the boards of this Theatre, we hive no doubt will prove an ac quisition. At present she has many habits to over come, and some things to acquire before she can be considered an adequate representative of the ambi tious Thane's wife. Ludy Macbeth is undoubtedly one of the most arduous characters, and perhaps we should rather congratulate Miss CAMPRELL on having succeeded so well, did we not believe her talents are butfitient to secure unqualified success. Her best scene was the last ; she was loudly cheered on her first entrance, and throughout applauded universally. Mr. RAE played Macduf with great propriety. Mr. G. Stunt, who soppy: ted the part of Hecate, had like • This night to spend, Unto a fearful and a dismal end"--. For, as lie was about to " fly by night" in the ma chine appropriated, instead of a broomstick, to the at 641 journeys of Hecate, part of the tackling gave way, and the cicada tell upon the stage. Hecate and the associate witches escaped, we are happy to say, uninjured. The house was crowded. COVENT-GAP.DEN.—A crowded house last night witnessed the Juliet ni Miss O'NEILL. We have re peatedly seen her in this interesting character, and, while she continues to play it as she did last night, neither the public nor ourselves can feel the approach of ennui while viewing her performance. Her recep. tion was most gratifying—and all her scenes, parti cularly that in which she swallows the narcotic, were enthusiastically applauded. Mr. C. KENNA being indi►posed, the part of Romeo was sustained by Mr. M'CRSADY. The volatile spirit of Merced* was hap pily expressed, and the character rendered very effec tive by Mr. Jornss. MK. RAYMOND. We lament to statetbat Mr. RAYMOND, the intelli. gent and active Manager of Drury-lane Theatre, died yesterday afternoon, about halt-past five o'clock, at his house in Chester-place, Pimlico. He was seized with an apoplectic fit early in the morning, which almost immediately deprived him of sense and motion. The only word he pronounced atter was, " Hooraft," intimating, as was supposed, his wish to have that eminent medical gentleman called to his assistance. Dr. Houma and another physician were immediately caned in, but their aid was ineffectual, and Mr. RAY* ..sto languished in a state of total ituensibi. buy, until he breathed his last: his exertions and fatigues in the irksome, and we might say, the thankless office of Manager of the great theatrical concern intrusted to his care, preyed upon his mind. We say thankless, for let the Conductor of a Theatre be the kindest and most conciliating of human beings, he has to struggle with pretensions, listen to complaints, and endure misrepresentations which the possession et no power or patronage can repay. For months before the opening of the Theatre, he was in it from sun•rise till midnight—he was indefatigable in his exertions, and in the arrangements he was preparing far the season. His labours were duly appreciated by the proprietors and the public, but be tell a victim to his zeal in their service. About three weeks ago be was attacked by a severe cold, which threatened an in- flammation on the chest, for which he had the usual applications—but bis anxiety in the discharge of his , duty detested till the expostulations of his medical friends as to repose—and even aggravated the com-' Stint' by his incessant toil. It is with troths there- fore; ivre say, that he fell a victim to his fahoricius Mr. RAYMOND wai, we believe, amities of Aberdeenshire ; and it is to his credit, that he wrought his way up to the profeuional eminence which he enjoyed by his own Unassisted efforts. We remember him early in life most eager and perseve ring in the acquisition of the knowledge necessary to his art, and in die curing of his original accent. — Though he did net embrace the Theatre. as a pro )ession, till be had attained mature age, he distin guished himself by his talent as a sensible and ener getic performer. In hit conduct, as a manager, he was truly impartial in the distribution of parts, and is his attention to the claims of performers. Hs was beloved by all, and his dearest friends must have some consolation ia his loss, on learning that the news of his sudden death, which was brought to the two Theatres last night, just before the curtatn rose, made an impression on the hearts of his companioni, which proved that they most truly feel the affliction which they have on the Stage only to represent.—He has left a wife and six children to mourn the loss of one of the best of fathers and friends. AU who were so fortunate as to constitute the circle of his comps,- nions, will feel his less long and severely. But his brethren must be still more deeply affected; to them he was a constant and zealous friend if poverty, or calamity of any nature presented itself, it was pro verbial to seek fir Mr. Ramona; and within oar own knowledge many instances have occurred where his friendly interposition and pecuniary assistance have saved a family from impending ruin. We trust those la Ms left behind him do not stand iii Sided of 4001 hid offices t but if they do, we Ifebili . *.=- 46 or them as poor Mr. RATIINUf 4011101 'have , ilworint the same situation." We itiisrlie 4 kiiist skin some further mark of their esteem adireiliera don for him as a friend, an actor, and a will be eagerly sought by his professions= both Hisses. In private life, Mr. R. bad many re spectable friends—among the most siacere were Mr. and Mn. Courts, and who tioubtieee will be the protectors of hie family. STATE TRIALS. DERBY, MONDAY MORNING. On Saturday, after the trial, when Braidreth had been again carried to the prison, Ire was conducted to the yard in which the other prisoners are suffered to walk. They crowderl round him with natural 'maim, to learn the decision come to by the Jury. When they asked him what the verdict was.* replied-6; Guilty !" The intelligence he brought was of course little welcome to these who yet remain tq be tried. They were deeply affected by the news. The chances which they had previously believed to mist in their favour were of course materially dimi- Milted by the result of Brandreth's trial ; and though it by no means follows, that, because he has been convicted, all comprehended in the indictment must be guilty, it cannot be denied, that the fatal tidings of which he was the bearer might well justify that depression of spirits which appeired in their altered deportment. - Generally speaking, the conduct of Brandreth is marked by a sullen reserve. In this respect, he is now much as he was before the trial, if we except the change which has taken place as to his fellow priso ners. He expressed great horror at the idea of being locked hp alone, anti great anxiety to remain with the other prisoners. At present this is permitted, and he enjoys the pri vilege of walking in the same staid with those who have not taken their trial. When sentence shall be pronounced, and the Judges leave the town, the time will arrive at which he must be removed. Yesterday morning he nad rega►ned much of his wonted calmness, and appeared waiking the yard with It's short pipe in his mouth as usual. Though aware of the se►:tence that will be pronounced upon him, he does nut seem aband.ined to despair, nor has he lust his relish for those refreshments which he coveted in other circumstances. He commonly carries a bag with him, in which he deposits such articles as com passion may supply to cheer the few dreary moments which remain to him. Yesterday. alter walking backwards and forwards with the other prisoners, he knocked at the gaoler's door. And being a►ked what it was he wanted ? lie teplied—'• If it were agreeable, he should be glad of a glass of ale." This indulgeace was accorded him, and he received it with expressions of thankful ness and satisfaction. He declined attending Chapel yesterday, but he does not affect to despise the consolations of religion. Though he objected to attend Divine Service in the usual way, he signified a wish to see the Minister alone; and the Reverend Gentleman connected with the prison assisted him accordingly yesterday, as he bad done un the preceding Jay. He professes to be of the Baptists' persuasion. The afternoon and evening of yesterday proving fine, he remained in the yard alter his devotions till , the hour of locking up. He was not even then marked out or selected from the others, but walked lin the midst of them when they entered the building, gill carrying his provision-bag and smoking his to bacco pipe, which it was remarked, as rather an ex traordinary incident, he had changed for a long one. We are informed, that the circumstance of his be ing put at the head of one of the insuigent bands, i• not to be ascribed to any superior intelligence or acs tivity ; but to his having being in the Militia, and thus being acquainted with the first elements of mi. ,litany organization. There is said to be some difficulty in procuring an executioner to perform that frightful part of the cere mony of a traitor's death, the severing of the head from the body : the hangman here will not undertake the task, and the neighbouring hangmen objecting on the score of ignorance. ' The prison at present is so full, that 12 of those who are yet to be tried are confined in the Chapel. The two Barons are in a room by themselves. This has humanely been arranged for their comfort, and in conformity with their wishes. DERBY. HALRYAST TWO. The Court met precisely at eight o'clock, and was occupied for some time in hearing excuses for absent Jurors. , Mr. CLARKS stated, that the Attorney-General would be in Court in a few minutes, and had autho rised him to say, that Williamliorner was the next pri. soner to be tried. i Milano Terser was brought to the bar. lleseemed a man'of about twenty-eight, of a slender rnaki - andl rather, a long face, with a flat nose. His look' wiii somewhat melancholy and dejected. He was dressed io a blue coat, red and spotted silk handkerchief, coloured waistcoat, corduroy breeches, aed light woollen stockings. His appearance and dress clearly indicated him to be one of the lowest rank in society.' Mr. LOWNDLS began to call over the list of Jurors, when— Mr. DUMAN stated, that they did not object to those who bad formed the last Jury, merely on that account. The Jurors were then called in their order; but just as the Clerk read out the first name, Mr. Dammam rose to complain of the scandalous contempt with which the authority of the Coon had been treated by certain Newspapers in publishing garbled representations of the proceedings of the trials.—" This barefaced attempt, ' said Mr. Dim UAW, 14 becomes more injurious, as the first blow has been struck by a Paper well kuowa to be under the influence of Government." The ATTORNIIY-GENIMAL.- 01 Till within these few minutes I knew nothing of this publication. I lament as much as my learned friend that the autho. rity of this Court, and the interests of justice, have been thus violated; but I will say for myself, and for my honourable and learned friend here (the Soli. citor-General), and for every one who has any office under Government, that it has been our anxious wish that, till the whole proceedings should be finished, not one phrase should be published on the subject." Mr. Diggitstg." I moil fully acquit the Actor. oey-Getierida•l need not say acquit, fur I never su posed hilp,aapalge of countenancing such an act' . I comp4iAlpt. ~lihave only to say, that I hope: . Court will adoit ' some measures to vindicate own sot/seedy; 'Mid to keep pure the administration i of justice." . , The Cutup BARON.--" I consider the publication in question very improper and very mischievous. It is most Mischievous to all concerned. But all- we know is, that It has appeared In a newspaper. We cam* tell who has done its and therefore nothing tiibe done. It'hen a motion is- made in eirctim-. stances such as the Attorney-General has stated, then the Court will effectually interposf." Mr. Justice DALLAS—"" I recollect in the trial of James Watson, Mr. Wetherell, I is Counsel, made a complaint of the same kind. I have the notes now before me $ and my Lord Ellenhorough s tid, ' At you have no motion to make on the subject, the time of the Court must not he wasted by any tether ob servations.' With respect to any tact, we have here ao fact before us. All we know is, that there is one statement published, by whom or under what cir• cumstancee we know not. As to the observation that the paper, is under the influence of Government, it ought nocto have heel) mule, because that cannot be known, and because it may excite a suspicion fLitt the Government- wished to obtain the conviction of the prisoners by unfair mean-. As no motion is made the Court can do nothing fortt.er." Eighty Jurors were then called before a J••ry was sworn. All the members of the former Jury were excused. Two of them expressed a willingness to serve, and were challenged for the prisoner. Mr. Deurtutu challenged 32 fur the pfisoner. The Crown challenged 16.—The following Jury were impanelled at a quarter before ten : Thomas Ensor, of Mantonon-Dove, farmer; Henry Spurrier, of the lkinle, tanner; 111icha.I Goodall, ot Marston-Nluntgo• curry, fanner; ..... toti, tag mvr ; Samuel Dean, of Astaeoay, gentleman; John W.lgstafF, of Atlow, farmer; Joseph Wheeldon, of Alvaston and Boulton, farmer; James os. borne, of the same, farmer; Thomas Crompton, nt Darlerabbey, gentleman; John Glover, of Fendern, f a r ; John iia.lam, of Little Cheater, lamer; and lhomas Oast., of Miekleover, farmer. The indictment was then read, and the trial pro ceeded. The SOLICITOR- GPMERAL arose at ten o'clock, and opened the prosecution against li Nisei; Furner, the circumstances of whose case seemed to be closely in terwoven with the facts established on the trial al • Brandreth. The address of thi'Solicitor•General did not occupy above an hour, containing a clear narra tive of the supposed conspiracy, and was mat ked by a careful abstinence even from the expression of any opinion on the legal question, which he desired to leave altogether to the exposition of the• Judge. An tony Martin, the first witness on the last trial, wss the first called upon the present. His evidence was in substance precisely the same as on the former or. • casion. Other witnesses were then examined almost precisely in the same order as on the first trial, at d deposed to - the same effect. Elijah Hall, jun. was on exaniitiation at half-past two o'clock. The pre► sent trial is not expected to conclude before to-mor row evening: Among the vagrants brought before the Magis trates, last week, at the Staffordshire Quarter So. :ions, was a Salon, who had been nine years in the British service. On being asked his parish, he said it was Saxony. 11- was discharged with a shilling or two to help him on towards hi:parish, and a whipprig held out in terrorem if found again in Staffordshire. At the Sessions for the town of Bedford, ,b/sa Nos iinr, who had been in custody since the 26th of May last, Charged in execution at the suit of W. H. bread, Esq. under a verdict obtained against him at the last Lent Assizes, (or cutting the pipe of a fire. engine belonging to Mr. Whitbread, which was play ing upon buildings then on fire, in the possession of a Mr. Bodges, of S Tuthill (a tenant of Mr. Whit bread), in order to disable such engine, was brought up to take the benefit of the Insolvent Acts. The prisoner was now opposed by Mr. Hurrr, as Counsel for Mr. Whitbread. Mr. R. Haynes, Clerk to Mr. Whitbread's Solicitor, produced and gave in evidence a copy of the judgment in the late action, which he had brought down from the Treasury of the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster. Mr. Hunt now con. tended, that as by the 37th section of the Act of the 53d George 111. for the relief 4.1 Insolvent Debtors, it was expressly provided, that no person in custody for damages obtained under any action of crim. con. or seduction, or for any malicious injury, should be entitled to the benefit of such Insolvent Act ; and as the second count in the plaintiff's declaration, upon which the verdict was founded, expressly charged the defendant with wilfully and maliciously cutting the pipe of such fire engine, the injury was such an one as brought the defendant expressly under the exemp. tion of the Aet. '" The Codrt ananitnously concurred in such opinion, and that the delindtiitt was not entitled to the bencfie of tl.e keelsons Ads. The QuartetSessiOns for the County of Bedford were held en Wednesday last, before Wlttiast mote, Esq. Chairman, and a full Bench of Magi. straws. Henry Smith applied to the Court for an order of maintenance for himself and six children from his father, a man at an advanced age, and living very comfortably, while the applicant and his fa mily had been maintained for some time by the parish of Adstock. The Statute in this case allowed 5Se pie week for each one requring rtlet ; and t h e Court, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration. ordered that the father should allow Bs. 4d. per week for his son and five grand-children. The eldest chile, being fifteen years of age, was con sidered capable of maintaining herself. EXECUTIONS AT ATE.—Friday Mato Roberim and Joseph Cairns, convicted of robbery and thtft, aggravated by assault and housebreaking, committed in the county of Wigton , and Margaret Liman, found guilty of a malicious and cruel act of wilful fire rais ing in the same county, were executed at. Ayr. They came to the scaffold , a few minutes before three o'clock ; and Robertson was so w eak that he leaned, in coming out, against the wall , and appeared to ho supported by the rope even before he was suspended. A fter s very short pause, they gave the signal, and the drop fell. Cairns and the woman struggled a little. Robertson was about 27 years of- age, and was a seiachman. Oa the scaffold he addressed the g uard, consisting of small detachments of foot and , cavalry, and cautioned them against desertion, AS he attributed his own untimely end to his having com menced a career of .iickedness by committing that crime. The rto.Cairns was about 24 years old, and was an Irishman. The woman was also bora in Ire land. She appeared to be SO years of age; and, as well as CairoW Was a Roman Catholic. The woman was dressed in white, which with the dark-coloured clothes of the males formed a contrast, and produced a melancholy effect. The unusual circum,.tance of ' the execution of a female excited the public curiosity, and collected a large crowd, extruding across u m . bridge into Newtown.
