The Olaszow 'Subscription for the Spanish Refugees amounts to shoot two hundred ponds. The Glasgow free Press of Wednesday, after reproaching the leaders of the city for mastering no more, inserts the following fitter to the Editor,which had been receiv , d on Tuesdar:— London, J anuary Wit , . . . MY DEAR SIR,—I have your's of the 131 h, and haste , ' to reply to the gratifying infor.natlon contains. v;z. your having taken up the cause of the Spanish Refugees. Their first claim is upon our mere numanity. They have arrived in a moat to nplete state of destitution—without even a day's food. — Men who have held situations of high trust—who have lived in affluence. Men, who. to my knowledge, hive refused the I .rgest bribes, are objects, and worthy objects, of our :herby. They have a claim np.•n us ; for they are the s••le promoters of imprnsemmul.eiviiigition, and ins , ruction in Spain. Schools were established by them throughout Spain, the greatest avi• dity was evinced to acquire and diffuse •he means of educe' Sun, and if, unhappily, the plans they formed to repel foreign force w.re ill judged. at least, the imputation of backwardness is improving, and, indeed, I may say, giving a n e w life to in• lernal affairs, cannot be laid to their charge. I have just given out of my Lands a letter from the Emperor of Morocco, wherein he expresses the warmest sympathies silt these ill fated men. tic offers an asylum, in Tai giers, to any who will accept it. snit the greatest encouragement is held no to them. Surely 'titian not be said, that Christians were rtormed by the charity of a Mahommedau !—I know the above to be furls. 1 remain. dear Sir, • Your's very fathfully. JOHN 130 WRING.

W. W a d s, 1 Cymru liter, THE STATESMAN KING'S THEATRE. The Opera House was opened yesterday evening for the In spection of professional persons ■nd friends to the establish ment, and a candlelight rehearsal took place of the Ballet and Divertisement. Compared with its condition last season. the Interior of the house is greatly improved. It Is entirely re-gilt and painted. the ground sea green, relieved with salmon colour, or whitish pink, In the lower circles. In the upper parts this order is being salmon colder, and the edges sea green. New draperies have been added to the boxes, and fresh chande liers to the third and fourth circles. There is a new drop curtain, more gorgeous than the old one; and the ordinary minor a Itlitions hare been made. both upon the stage and in the audirnce part of the theatre. The curtains at the boxes are rose; the ceiling is blue, with pictures of the Nine Magee. Above the Proscenium are the Royal Alms, in stone coloured relief. Along the front of the main row of boxes, a range of arches, in moulding, is carried. and below each arch is a crown proper. The general effect, neat and elegant, rather than splendid. There is a mag nificent lustre in the centre of the ceiling, and a new drop curtain, crimson starred with geld, which has a magnifi cent appearance. There was an undress rehearsal of the Ballet, in which the principal performers of the corpi de ballet made their appearance. It would not be fair to speak of the ballet itself (which is an Indian story as far as we could guess) from a view of it, in which so inadequate an idea of its picturesque effect is given. The opening scene we imazine will have a very pleasing effect, and the appropriate tro pical scenery is of a superior d•scrip'ion to what we have before witnessed at the Opera House. The corps de ballet is evidently very strong. ALnsRT, who was greeted with loud applause, sheaved his accustomed grace and agility. A. M. PLRDINAND, a dancer in the style of PAUL, was the principal novelty. His ease anti d plomb, the lightness, elasticity, and wonderful strength of his movements, will make him one of time greatest favourites of ibe season. He seems to rise from the ground without effort, and to alight with an ease almost miraculous. The female dan cers were by no means anxious to display their power., but Mademoiselle Ls liens is evidently an acquisition of great value; she has a handsome and intelligent counte nance, and seems to ri►al Madame Ronal VHSTRIII in ease and grace. NoitLev is not yet arrived. Upon the whole. we have no doubt the Opera Moose will this season, both for brilliancy and substantial merit, stand as high as it has ever hitherto dun., independently even of the presence of the great genies of wmtern music, who alone would have shed a redeeming grace over any defects.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. -f Yesterday, the first Court of Common Council for the present year was held for the dispatch of a variety of im portant business. The Loan Maven informed the Court, that a •acancy bail Kapp-n-d in the See Coal Meters' Offic-. by the death of Mr. Henderson, the principal land Coal Mete-. It was for the Court to consider when they would appoint a per son to fill the office. _ ......._ Mr. SOUTHGATE begged leave to correct a mistatement which had gone abroad very extensively. It had been stated in nearly all the papers, that the Sea Coal Commit tee had recommended an increase of twenty-five additional Sra Coal Meters, in consequence of the alleged inadequacy of the present number. He begged leave to state, that this report oaeqnite unfounded. The Committee had entered into no resolutions on the subject, hat would be prepared to report to tht Court on that subject, and on the high price of coals, on the next Court day. Mr. OLDHAM presented to the Court a Petition from Mr. Lavie, the agent to Captain Samuel Brown, of the Royal Navy. 'fit. petition stated, that it was the intention of Captain Brown, at the next Session of Parliament, to pe tition for a Bill to allow the erection of a wrought iron Bridge of Suspension over the Thames, for foot passengers, as well as for beasts of hurdle'', and that he had given notice, and taken the requisite steps for bringing this Bill into Parliament. It would be so constructed as to have only three arches, and their height woul t be such as to allow the tallest vessels to pass tinder it without lowering their masts. The 'mite (as we understood the Petition) would ha from Little Tower-street to Horsley-down on the opposite shore. The Petition went on to state, that great adean'ages to trade would be derived to the connties of Nli4ldlesex, Surrey, and Essex, by the erection of such a bridge, especially during the building of the new London Bridge, and that the proposed bridge would be completed in on. twelvemonth from the time of passing the Bill. The Petition concluded by praying, that the Court would grant permission to the Petitioner to erect two columns ire the river for the purpose of sippending the iron work. The Petition moreover prayed, that the Court would ap point persons to examine and report on the plans. The Petition was referred to the Thames Navigation Committee to examine anti report upon it. Mr. SLADE presented a Petition to the Court signed by M . Rundle and Bridge, and many respec table inhabitants of the vicinity of Fleet Marks', priing that they would take some measures for removing the market to a more convenient s.i e. The Petition stated, that it would be a great Improvement of the city of Lon don to remove Fleet_ Market altogether. It mentioned the great ineonvenieeee that resulted from its present confined and crowded state,and the frequent "locks up" of carriages in the line of St. Paul's and the Strand. in consequence of the present tlArouglifsre ant being sill& lent. It stated, that by making an open, wide. and spacious tlaorovglif 4re, by the removal of the market altogether, the grerest bene fits would be eonferred. An excellent way would he made to enable carriages to return to the West end of the town np Holborn. and it would greatly faciliate the grand im provement contemplated by the Corporation of openinz • direct line of cononnnicetion between Illackfriars Bridge and the great North Read. The petition stated, that many rtspectable females were d t-rrrd from going to the market by the thronged state of the surrounding avenues with carriages, and the crowded state of the Market itself. The Market, too, bring a covered way, was at night the general receptacle of prostitutes and the worst of characters. If the Corporation should consider of a licit.., the petilonere pointed out to their notice the West side of Fleet Market, which was covered with wretched crowded !looses that were inhabited by people of the lowest and vilest deserip. ton. If these houses were pulled down, which might be d ne to the advantage of the inhabitants, an elegant market might be built on the scite, with convenient ap proaches, which were so much wanted. Mr. SLADE, in secot:dine the prayer of the Petition, ad verted to the spirit of improvement which" he said had gone forth, and expressed his confidence that it would ad vance. This market, instead of bring a public convenience, was a public nuisance. lie trueted that in a few years as many iusprovernents would he effected in the Cite of Lyn don, a• had recently been effect-41 in the City of Wes mia st,r. He moved that the Petition ahoald he referred to the Improvement Committee. Mr. licecoatne seconded the motion. , • Mr. TAYLOR Supported the motion, and said three had been no improvement made in Westminster for the last three years, that would he equal to the improvement to be made in the City of London, by opening the communi cation between the Narth Roe I and Blackfriar's-bridge. The Petition was referred to the Committee of Improve ment. A report was brought up fr•tm a Committee relative t the erection of a new Post-Othce. The Report stated the proceedings. and the sums already expended for clearing the scite of the New Post-Office. As tar as the city was concerned, little remained to he done; hut as to the ex• pense of erecting the new building, and the probable time that would I), taken before it tcascompleted, the Committee could slate nothing, for by the Act they were allowed no controtil over the building, or the sum to be paid, but they had every reason to believe that Government wosld soon com nonce this mist important work. The Com mittee referred to the Clerk of the City's Works, which staved be hid been informed that the new building would he speedily commenced, and that excavations .were how *slaking for the foundation. The Report was ordered to be entered on the Journals. THZ LATI GRANVILLE SMARM Mr. FAV6LL rose pursuant to the oo.ice he had given on this subject. Before he proceeded with his motion, he moved that the resolution of the Court io depteralver, (we believe) 1791. of thspits to Granville Sharpe, Esq. be read. Tne Raw'anon was read accordintly. Mr. F•vsit. then went on, and afte r a warm eulogy on the great and persevering reertions of Mr. Sharpe In the cIUIP of humanity, and of hi. renuuua I saortion of that ere4t princi• pie—that the slave who once touched the shore of Britain be came thereby a tree min—dwelt upon the honours which hid hero conferred on him during his life time, by the appiauga of the good men of all countries, and since his death, by a monu ment to his guernsey In Westminster Abbey. lie then enume rated minutely smog of Mr. Sharpe's labours in the great strag gle he had made, and after stating that the present motion had nothing to do with the question respecting slavery agitated at the present day, concluded by moving his first resolution.— (See advertisement.) Mr. HICK seconded the motion. Mr. Doaaroao said a few words in support of it. Mr. S. DIION. in objecting to the motion, urged the late period at wnich it was brought forward—the bad precedent which would be established by voting such honours to parties to whom the Court bad voted resolutions of thanks. Mr. TAYLOR defended the motion, and after a few words from Mr. Patten, - - Mr. Fsvaid. briefly replied. The resolution eras then put, and carried in the affirm ative. The second resolution wa• also put and carried. The Loan Maros declared a vacancy in the situation of Brirhlayer to tae City. by the resignation of Mr. Poynder. The Court confirmed the Elections of Mr. Deputy Old ham. Mr. It. Carter, and Mr. Filby. to be Governors of Bridewell and Bethlent, St. Bartholomew's and St. Tho mas's Hospitals. On Saturday last, the wife of J. Andrews, sail maker of St. Martin's parish, Lincoln, was found dead in bed by her hus band on his rising in the morning, having died by his side in the night. She had been In an 111 state of health for several years, but was no worse than usual on going to bed ou that sight. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PIERCE, OF BRISTOL. (PRO! TUE NSW MIES.) Under the date of Bristol. enure gross misreprrsentetione r•mp.mting this gentlemen here heen given to the public by a Morning Paper. Their object appears to be In i 'duce a belie( that Mr. Pierce was coon died with London getahlere ; and it is f•irther insinuated, that he was addicted to low. disreputable society. We are assured that there is not the slightest founda tion for either of these aspersions. The Cheltenham Chronicle of yesterday eontaini a para• graph. which says the body of Mr. Pierce had been found on the preceding day ; that he had been murdered. as previ eady eiv , jecture.l. on sec went of the peopeety h e had about him at the time, an I that his hat was throws into the float, in order to induce the friends of the deceased to believe he had been drowned. In regard to this statement, we are autho' rimed to say that the E litor of the Cheltenham Paper has been been grossly imposed on; nothing whatev.er having yet trans pired which con d authorise the assertion. Smith, the ROW Street Officer, who has been at Bristol for the last nine days. pressing the investigation under a Committee of Gentlemen formed for the perp se, returned to London on Wednesday eveninv, after a tedious nod frit4less search. Messrs. Clarke. Richards. and Nietlcalf on whose authority we state these. facts, are in receipt of daily communications from the Bristol Com unite, and their latest Irtlrr left the investigation pre -1 cisly as it was a week ago, Innumerable anonymous rommuni-ations have been ad dressed to the ttri%tol and London r.f.rrea. which generally have but one ohj et in a iew—that of ohtmining money. Such a letter wag received by Nteasrs. Clarke and Co. through the twopenny post, the writer stating that Mr. Pierce was at pre• sent safe and well; sod that on receipt of a 101. note per post out of thw promise I IOU!. direc Ina the inclosure to •• The Ele phant and Coatle Tavern. Waterloo road." the nec o aaa y infoe• ' motion would he immei;iately given. This artifice was too shallow to require much penetration. COAMITIIEN 'MI LS, AND CONVICTIONS, FOR LONDON AND I DDLESEX. A short time 11; Ile., we pnlil:shed a list of the Commit ments, Trials, anti Convictions, for Lon lon and Middlepex th e mutt. to he collected from which are well deserving of eorsid,rltion. From t h e 4. r:ltemPnts it app-ars. that ont of the whole flambee of priion•w4 romnti.tetl by the County Magis trates, ahme forty-two per cent. were acquitted or dia. eke rced. The relative proportion of arglitted or discharged was 'miller nit of the committals by the Magistrate• of the City of London ; hot 'till this proportion amounted to more than one person in four, viz. about twenty seven per cent.. Of the whole of the prisoner co:nmltted to Newzate. nearly the h ilf were released at the end of the Sessions. It seems th-refire that either the Magistrates fregeently co•nniit prison•rs nn evidei.cr it n tdeg•tate to procure a con viction; or else that the means of enforcing the attendance of prosecutors and al itlesses are ■ut competent to the pnr pnaes of juatice. In either cage. it would certainly be desirable that some me wires should be adopted to lighten the expense to the ;edic, and with regard to the prisoners that the innocent should b• protected, and dte guilty more etfc;ctually brought to Justice. It is in the details of prac tire, In , ' not in the general principles of law, that our judicial system appears capable of essential improve ment. OIL ass Wongs.—We understand the Edinburgh Ca* Cotruainyhave At length fixed upon a situation for their works. They have bought a piece of zr..onil, between four and five acres in extent, immediately on the west side of the bridge at Canonmills, and ringing along the north side of the water. A small put of this will be reservesd fur their own erection., and the rest will be rimed off as building gr +um! fur hou.es, according to a determinate plan. which will add to the beauty of that growing suburb of the city. The gas work, we are inform. d, from the nature of the operations and the materials employed. will not produce the smallest nuisance, eith-r by its awake or its refuse. tis intended to be tastefally built, in a style which will reflect no discredit on the elegant buildings in its neighbourlimrd; and it will he set off with an ornamented clituinay, whis,k will he nearly in a direct line with Itun.las Street, obit have the effect of 4 handsome spire in the landscape. We beer, too, thiit it is in eontetn i dation to carry the road right north. by a new bridge, from the part where it now bens@ eastward, so as to cut off the inconvenient angle forms& at the prerent bridge. This, however, is a project, the ex ecution of • hich m sy probably depend on the concnrrence and co-operation of the road trustees.—(Caledonian Mer cury.)

Ins Z iologieal Memoir, communicated to the Linnean Society, by Sir J. T. It .Me., is giving an account of seine animals i f Su u ►arrs. collected by th .t gentleman for the East I ndia lompany. The most popti!arly curio's. of these is the Ursa Maylayanus. This hear was caught young, and brunght up in the nursery among the WI Iren. It appears to be a variety of the common bear, and bear of India. It was perfectly tame, and in its habits exceedingly playful. Sir T. mentions, sportively, that it was also a brute of taste, which it displayed at the dinner table, where it was • frequent visitor, by tefusing to eat any fruit but the Mango-steens, or to drink any wine but champagne. The only instance in which it was ever seen angry, was, when there was none of the latter at the dessert. Brnin in common messed in peace with a dog, a cat, and a lory. The dog was its favourite, and suffered to worry and terse without offence or resentment. The strength of the animal, when full grown was, neverthe less, very Brea' ; and it could tear n i p by the roots from the garden a plantain tree of such size as to be almost too l large (twits embrace.
