The whole of the Opera was ably performed. Airs. SPIRILES, WS KELLY, Mr. OE BERRY, Mr. 1 . 1 , N t: and Mr. KNIGHT all contributed their pow. orful talents on the occasion. The evidence on the Court-martial against the lion. Colonel MULLINS closed on Tuesday. The lion.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SAILORS.—II is mach to be regretted, that at the present moment, several hundreds of British seamen are unemployed, while it appeals that a vast number of ships in the docks and river are crowded with foreigners.—Yesterday, a body of nearly 200 persons marched from the docks to the Mansiun House, where they halted, and sent in a deputation to the LORD MAYOR, who was then sitting. The deputation in behalf of the English sea men stated, that in consegnence of the multitude of that body at present unemployed, and the vast majo. rity of foreigners that manned the ships now in the river, they had petitioned the Admiralty, but had not yet received the redress they looked for: they were induced to wait upon his Lordship, entreating his interference in their behalf. The Loan MAYOR said, however he might feel for their situation, it was nevertheless beyond the pale of his authority or in fluence to meet their wishes. In applying to the Admiralty they had adopted the proper course, and he would recommend them to wait patiently the result. Ile would lilso more particularly enjoin them to peace and good order in whatever farther course they might adopt for a reclreu of their own com plaints. ."..1 Il\l ~- -- FOUCHE'S CONDMV Letters front Paris of a late date, give the follow ing explanation of the manner in which Fouche averted storm which threatened his head, and, to the astonishment of the Whole world, became the Prime Miiister of the Monarch whom he had be trayed : " As soon as this tenning politician saw the course adopted by the new Chambers, and their constant and even punctilious opposition td the wishes of Bonaparte , hi jdilged that the power of the latter would not last, and that the revolution by which he had been replaced (in the throne, would speedily end, tict only in his nverthrow, but In a contention of parties that would devour each other,. instead of repelling foreig n enernies, until the ten geance of nations sh ou ld put an end to the French name. in Such — comtnotions the leaders could not fail to prove the first victims as soon as their oppd. nents should triumph. To secure his head end his fortune he resolved to anticipate those events, and by fresh treasons to .wipe off the guilt of the last. - He retained his post, and endeavoured to increase his credit with the Jacobins, whose violence he se. cretly abjured, said al soon as the issue of the battle of Mount St. Jean (Waterloo) had destroyed the hopes of the Bonaparticts, he entered into a private arrangement wlttethe present King to restore his Crown, Provided he and his friends should be left in power, and a Constitution should be established, which would in some degree justify the alteration in his politics and his conduct. Through his agency, which acting concealed, impelled the Jacobins to dis arm themselves of their best commander and sup. porter; by forcing Napoleon to abdicate, the patrio tic party after much blustering, in which he seemed to take g share, were delivered helpless into the hands of Louis XVIII. ASSIZES. CROYDON, Jut.v 27. The AssizrA began here to-day, but nothing of the least interest took place, except that the Gnu(' Jury found another bill against Lord Cochrane for breach of prison. To the bill last found he pleaded in abate ment that he was Sir Thomas Cochrane, lint. and not Thomas Cochrane, Esq.; in fact, although he was expelled the Order of the Bath, yet he re mained a Knight Baronet. The last bill was there fore quashed, and a new one presented to the Grand Jury. LINCoI N. .tu Lv lg. • Llins 'WEST V. ANY PA LM ER ASi D OTHER& The Plaintiff in this action is a Sliigenti, and the Defendants are Overseers of the Poor of Stow, in this county. The question to be tried was, Whether a medical m.n, having been called in by an overseer to attend a pauper, cans continue . to attend after he is discharged from doing so, and can make the parish pay his bill for such adverse attendance, on the ground that the state of the patient required it ? A pauper, named Long, was affected with a liver corr plaint, and after daily attendance for a fortnight or three weeks, the Plaintiff was desired 'not to go to Stow any more on Long's account. The bill at this time amounted to 71. ; and the Plaintiff continued to anew! the pauper and send him medicines, ansiper. formed the operation of coifing through hie black ' to give him relief from an abscess - on his liver ; and at last the bill was swelled to between 401. and 501. The Defendants paid 151. into Coutt, and contended ' , that was all for which the parish was liable. Mr. CLARICE, for the Defence, pleaded the danger of laying parishes at the mercy of apothecaries and itinerant quacks; and Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN; in a reply for the Plain tiff, urged the inhumanity of the case in forcible lan guage, and trusted that his Client would not, for the charity he had shown the poor object to whom he had been called, be saddled with the expences of both sides in this action, which would be the effect of a verdict for the Defendant. The Judge (lIEATH) said, that an apothecary had no right whatever to make charge beyond the time of his being dismissed from attendance, unless he had an order of a Magistrate for continuing it ; and that was a strange sort of charity which was to be paid for out of other people'epockets. The Jury gave a verdict for the Plaintiff for two guineas, besides the sum that had been paid into Court. TheRIDGE desired that they would re-consider their verdict ; and, after a few minutes, they a second lima gave the Plaintiff two guineas damages. It was therefore announced by the Counsel far Defendants, that a new Sri would he moved for in the Court above. The Plaintiff's demand was fifty. one puunds. A terrible accident in Paris, on Sunday last, plunged many families in the deepest distress. Oise Auvergitat, living in the Roe de Bellefonds, at t e house of a wine merchant, brought with him from the country a mortar which he had found. Desirous of emptying it in order to sell the powder, he re. peatedly struck the mortar with a hammer ; the heat communicated to the powder, which burst the mortar, by which the unfortunate man and one of his friends were killed, and forcing its way through the floor, mortally wounded a pregnant woman and two children in the neat floor. ;M. Valer, Surgeon, in the Rue des Martyrs, bestowed every possible as. tistance to the wretched sulTerers.—One of them, on the way to an hospital, died in the Place Cadet.

REIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY TO THE GENERAL: MEETING. • -,,,r,r- .7 , lne 9, ISt5. On occasions of this nature it is exceediriOy grail. Eying to be able to report the increasing revation and influence of the Institution ; and your Cointnit• tee trust, that when the) have Submitted to this Ge neral Meeting the progress of this Society during the last year, a conviction will universally prevail that the 'British and Foreign School Society is not inferior I in utility, nor less de-erving of public support, thus any Institution which exists in the British empire. I The Reports of the proceedings of Schwas ors the British System, in different parts of the kingdom, having been given in November last, the object of the present General Meeting is to receive a statement of the proceedings of the Institution, and an account of the receipts and disbursements during the past year, and to appoint new Officers for the ettsuitos year. The events which have occurred during the past year have fully justified the propriety of having given to the Institution the title of British and Foreign School Society, since it at onbe designates the object of the Institution to be the promotion of education both at home and abroad. The first r .u•Ou,abie cleounistance wet the attioisi ' Lion to the Society of the services of the Rev. Dr. Schwabe, Minister of the German Chapel in Good man's-fields, oho kindly undertook the important office of Foreign Secretary. In a journey Which Dr. Schwabe took to the Continent, last summer, het found frequent opportunities to spread a knoviledgn . of the Institution in different parts of Germany; and since his return to England he has commenced a cot.. respondence with the celebrated Pestalozzi, at yoer• dun, in Switzerland, with a view to invite Ida co. Operation in the -urcess of this Society, end to ascer. lain what parts of his excellent system of instruction may be engrafted upon the British System. The Doctor has also corresponded with public spirited in dividuals at Coblentz, Elberfeld, Potsdam, and Konigsberg, concerning the introduction of the Bri tish System, and with Count de Llysterie, at Paris. The Rev. Mr. Coltman, of whom mention was made in the Report of November, having obtained a thorough know ledge of the British System of Edu cation, has returned to Germany, intending to take the advantage of any favourable opportunity of in. troducing it into the schools of his native country. The affairs of the Congresi having deiained the Emperor of Russia at Vienna, the measures which the Committee have every reason to believe his law ` perish Majesty is disposed to adopt, for the intro. duction of the System into his vast empire, have been 'unavoidably suspended; but the Committee have re. • ceived the gratify ing intelligence, that the Minister of the Interior had written to the Emperor at Vien na, informing him,that after his retort, to St. Peters.. .burgh, he would have the honour of laying Dr. Ilatnet's account of the N_w System before his Me. jesty. • . During the late interval of peace, every suitable opportunity has been taken to disseminate 'a know. ledge.of this Society in France. Several Gentlemen, who were friends to the Institution, undertook, its travelliog through that country, to put the Reports ; and other publications of the Society into the hands ,of benevolent and influential persons. Thus informs ! tion relative to the object of she Society; and the fe. cilities of the system of education, were 'diffused through France, Flanders, flatland,- ant Germany. The Gentlemetewho hare in this ssay.. particularly promoted the objects of the Society are—Fri:mit Horner, Esq. M. P. one of the Vice-Presidents; Mr. Leonard Horner; Mr. John Murray, of Edinburgh; and Mr. Rae Wilson, of Glasgow. Complete sets of the lessons. were presented to those foreigners, who, on visiting the Inatitetion, were found to enter with eagerness into the merits of • the plan of instruction, that they might be.able to communicate abroad the most accurate account of the ' method whereby so great advanta s es may be etteined. Amongst those were—=the Abbe 'Gushier sad tee • Count de l'Abord. The publications of the :Society have at been ' 4 sent to the Minister of the Interior in RuSiis; the s' Abbe Montesquiou, Minister of the Interior in * • .; France ; Professor nets'', at Geneva ; Mr. Pestal. ' -.• lozzi, in Switzerland ; and the Rev. Illr.Ledaboer l at• •-••• Rotterdam. ; At the half-yearly Meeting, in Novpnber last, the • / Society was informed of the steps ydel' had beets •"'" taken to prepare qualified teaches to organize schools in Franca. It will be recolecled, that se' vend Gentlemen from that ceuntr , were present on •sr' tkat.occasion, and took part in oe business of titer '• day. One of those Gentlemen the Count l'Abord, was so much interestet, that he instentltr commenced writing a work upoi iha subject, welds" • was first printed in Landon, and afterwards re. • . • rioted in Paris. This book was dedicated to his Royal Highness the Duke of lent. The Abbe Guallier, who visited, the Institution during the winter, expressed his great admiration at the order maintained amongthe childien, the qsick nes, with which they acqulsed their instruction, and the great economy in the expenditure. This Fr de siastie, on his return to faris, became a zealous promoter of the British System. Ile hung up against the wall of his apartment the lessons used its the school, and invited parties of learned mess, ex that hr ' et c to them the methods pressly, .te might , plain used in teaching the children. Monsieur de Bassgui, who had been appointed by Louis Viii. Administrator of the Colonies, made arrangements for the instruction of two young men, to be qualified to (oral schools in the isles of Bator. bon and Martinique. The Committee have received from Mr. Moos, who was mentioned in the lust Report, very ample detail, of his proceedings in Paris, On his arrival he found the Duke de lt , tcheforicault Lianrourt, and the Count de La)sterie, emplo)ed in prepaying works for the.press, in recommendation of the new System for the adoption of the French people. This cause has received very important assistance from Mr. Benjamin Shaw, a Member of the Com. Iniilee s who has resided in Paris with his family during several months. This, Gentleman, who, soon after his arrival in that city, became acquainted with the mist zealous adrocatos of the System in France, • I i. o; k • • 'is i • f • . . r : , A r i eir al. yes for ar- D to the en. to iiii the ble lay L as d's [le ,be to Ter 'his and rice :hat the ere out fur ha* )01.
