We have no doubt that the,' will run through the season, and catue the piece to draw. THEATRE ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. Min Foote has fulfilled a fortnight's engagement with the Managers of the Liverpool Theatre, and, since the ap. penance of Miss O'Neil on these boards, no performer has b ee n more attractive. On the evenings of Miss Foote's performances the Theatre has been well attended, and fre• quently crowded: her benefit war an overflow ; and the Liverpool play-goers, as well u the visiters with which, at this season, the town abounds, have given a cordial wel- , come to the fair stranger, and distinguished applause to L„ w ring. She has generally performed in both the play and the afterpiece ; sometimes in three pieces on the same evtoing. She has supported the cberacters of Letitia il d riy, Juliana, Lady Townley, Itordind, Ilratrice , Pio- I loft, Mist Hordenstk,Clori, Annelle, Va4ella, &c., and' it is very evident that so much practice has improved her s tyle. Her provincial exertions will perhaps give her a! claim to the same characters in London, which she appears aa be fully as able to support as any actress now on the ewe. It is to be hoped, therefore, that Miss Foote, when the passing attraction which recent circumstances may have oacasioned have passed away, will become an ornament to her profession. Recurring to those circumstances, the publicity of which is much to be lamented, it may be said that ' THE JESUITS' COLLEGE AT ST °NI - HURST. The Jesuits, when they were driven from Liege, and halt property eonfiseated at the French Revolution, might an asylum is England, anti were presented by the lather, or grandfather of Mr. Weld, the present owner of Lalworth Castle, with the home and 100 acres of laud, at Illsonyhurst. They hav e s i nce purchased 100 mo re . Th e y are also tenants fer no inconsiderable quantity of land, although the produce of the whole is insufficient for the wants of their establishment. The society consitts of at- missionaries, and teachers. The first of these are Mfr in number; they are the governors of the establish ment, and have the whole direction of its affairs. One of inn is called the President. The missionaries are priests, 'who officiate in different chapels in the neighbourhood, where there is no resident priest ; and are also ready to Illerectl or assist those who are at a great distance. The ambers have each the care of a particular school, and are Wader the direction of one who is called the superintendent 'sf studies. There arc alto what are called prefects, who have the superintendence of the scholars at their studies, Astir sports, and in their walks. Th e num b er o f sc h olars 'is about 200; the greater part of them are Irish, but there are foreigners, we believe, front every part of the globe. The circumstances attending the situation of one of these are not a little peculiar : the boy is an Armenian, Conse quently, we sUppast, a member of the Greek Church, which, If we mistake not, differs considerably front the Roman Catholis. His pension, or board, is paid by the • - __.-se- a Malionetan. He is in Manchester, who, Roman Catholic Este scholar pays SOL per an mber has been sometimes ),000 1 . Their real pro including the at of Mr. themselves expended oat the and enlargement of may therefore not gains must have been to lay out 30,0001. in about twenty years, and there is no reason to suppose that they are, at present, at all below the general average-yet they are soliciting subscriptions towards building a new chapel (salting for the contributions even of their surgeon and physietan), to which they themselves magnanimously sub scribe 3001. In the course of the five-antb.twenty years that Stonyhurst has been in possession of its present own ers, an entire change has been wrought in the religious character of the neighbourhood ; the majority of its inha bitants were not then Roman Catholics; the preponderance was on the side of the Protestants. At the present time the Protestants are reduced to less than one-seventh of the whole population of the district. Of course the "College," as it is called, gives employment in one way or other, to a great number of persons, anti none of them are Protestants. Intermarriages between Catholic and Protestant families have been most numerous in the neighbourhood ; and this we know to have been the most prolific source of what they term conversions. The refuse meat of 250 or 300 people, the cast-off clothes of nearly the same number (fur they provide the scholars with an uniform dress), must either be given away or sold for very little ; and it is the general understanding of the neighbourhoo d, that nobody must look for any thing in the formal way of disposal, without, occasionally at least, appearing at mass. 2W h.' .411.1 f I.

The first stone of a monument, near the town of Car marthen, in honour of General Sir Thomas Picton, was laid on Tuesday last, with great pomp. Beneath it were placed specimens of all the gold, silver, and copper. British coins of the present reign, together with the Waterloo Medal of the late Sir Thomas l'icton. They were covered with a plate, bearing the following inscription : This, The First Stone of the Column Erected to the Memory of our Gallant Countryman, Lieutenant-General SIR THOMAS PICTON„ Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, and of several Foreign Orders, Who, after serving his King and Country In several Campaigns. Died gloriously at the BATTLE OF WATERLOO, Was laid by The Right Honourable Frances Baroness Dynevor, Assisted by Sir Chpstopher Cole, (Knight Commander nt the Bath, Captain in the Royal Navy of Great Britain. Member of Parliament for the County of Glaihorgan, and Provincial Grand Master of Masons for South Wales,) On the 18th day of August, 1825. At the Commission of Assize for the county of Merio neth, held at Dolgelly, before Mr. Justice Raine and Mr. Justice Kenrick, there was not one prisoner for trial, nor was a civil cause entered. An inquest was held at Lydd, on Saturday hat, on the body of a man named Carpenter, who was accidentally shot on the night of the 1 lth inst., by Lieut. J. Milieu, employed at the coast-guard station near Dungeness, when a verdict was returned of wilful murder.' On the verdict being given. the Coroner said—" Gentlemen, be fore we separate, and your verdict goes before the world, I take this opportunity publicly to mention my total dissent from the verdict you have just delivered.

At the het March Term of the Court of Common Pleas of this county, John Brannon petitioned for the benefit of the Insolvent Laws. It appeared, on the hearing of his case, that in May, 1824, he dpeeed a store at the Corner of Second-street and Carter's-alley, for the sale of dry goods, jewellery, and hardware, where he carriel on business un til the 22d of January last, when he mode an assignment purporting to convey all his property to two of his cre ditors, one of whom was his brother-in-law, in trust, first to pay certain favoured creditors; , secondly, to divide the residue among each of his other creditors as cherish', within a specified time, release their debts. The debts due by the petitioner at the time of executing this assignment, and which were all contracted within about ashes months, for goods purchased by him, amounted to 35,438 tillers. The property which passed into the hands of the assignees was valued by himself at about 14,000 dollars, and produced about 9,000. The Court, after hearing the evidence on the part of the opposing creditors and on that of the peth tioner, supported respectively by the arguments of Coun sel, were unanimously of opinion that there was a strong presumption of the petitioner having fraudulently concealed a part of his property, and therefore they refuwd to dis charge him. At his own instance he was bound over to the succeeding Court of Quarter Sessions, to be prosecuted un der the Acts of Assembly relative to insolvent debtors. At the late Session of that Court an indictment was found, to which he pleaded not guilty. After a patient investigation of two days, the Jury retired, and shortly after returned a verdict of GI/11(y. The charges preferred in the indictment were fitraded on tire Acts of 1816 and 1820 ; the former of which directs that the offender shall be punished by impallonniewt merely, ties latter lay imprisonment at hard 'show. On the Bth instant Branson was brought up to reeerde s setuente, when his counsel presented to the Court a certificate from a re spectable.physician, expressing a belief, 'that the state of Bramson s health was such, that confinement at hard la bour would occasion his death. Upon this, the counsel for the prosecution, at the instance of the creditors, re quested the Court to pronounce judgment owthOse counts only which laid the offence against the Act of 1816. Ac cordingly the prisoner was sentenced to suffer imprison ment for one year.—Philadelphia Gazelle. 11 lb.. America. comic of •' , 4 . • woman catholic.

If the frequenters of these Gardens had not solid proofs in increasing commerce and decreasing taxes, that the 4' piping times of peace" were fairly set in, they would be led to believe, judging from the rapid succession of Military Fetes, that the Proprietors have prepared for their tume eou.s visiters during the present season, that still all the Youth of England (was) on fire, and silken dalliance in the Wardrobe (lay)." Last night, to ertrYn the climax of their loyalty and patriotism, in celebrating exploits never to be forgotten, the Management here got up a splendid gala in honor of " the Wooden Walls of Old England," and their Royal Commander the Duke of Clarenoe, it king the anniversary of the birth of the illustrious Admiral. We have so often had occasion to notice the various points d'aprui of amusement upon which the cheerful volunteers uoder the alluring banners of the proprietors of this ani mating scene have rested with delight, that we have only to point out the chief novelty of the evening, the fire works, prepared by an artist just arrived from Paris, M. Ruggieri, which certainly surpassed in brilliancy any thing of the kind that we ever witnessed, even at Vauxhall. Amongst the order of the fire-works were the representa tion of the grand cascades of the first coronation fete of Charles X. and the temple with revoling pillars adorned with red tire, exhibited at the King's entry into Paris. The whole terminated with the grand bou quet, in imitation of the girandoles of the fire-works at the French Coronation. In our anxiety to notice the splendiill novelty of these Parisian spectacles,:we had nearly forgotten a very beautiful new device in the great Quadrangle, in which the words "The Duke Of Cla rence and the Navy," appeared in coloured lamps, which were surmounted by a man of war, fully rigged, which bad a most brilliant effect.

The prisoners stood libelled with attacking and assaulting, as the 29th and 71st of January last,.eertain labourers who had been employed by the managers at the above works at the time when the regular colliers had struck work—ag gravated by the offenders having, at the time of the as. emit, keen parties concerned, with a number of other colliers combined, for raising their wages, and coercing the masters, so as to control them in the choice of their workmen, and the terms which they should pay for labour, and of using such means as tended to deter ether operative colliers or labourers from entering into the employment of any other proprietor whatever ; as well as of compelling those who had to desert their work. William Bennie pleaded guilty of the crimes laid to his charge, while the other two prisoners pleaded not guilty. The Jury returned a verdict, finding the prisoner, William Iletufie, guilty of the crimes charged in the libel, in teens of his own confession ; finding unanimously, the foresail Archibald Webster guilty of having stones in his hand among the crowd (who were throwing stones,) with the intent of intimidating the la bourers from working at the coal pits of Redding and Brighton, belonging to his Grace the Unite of Hamilton and Brandon ; and finding the foresaid Hugh Cowan, by a majority of voices, guilty of striking with a stick or shinty, and throwing of stones, with au intent to intimidate the labourers from working at the coal pits of Redding and Brighton, &c.

Justice BarLEY told him lie had been misinformed. The prisoner then drew from his pocket a long written statement, which treated of wrongs and provocations he had received, but little to the charge of which he was accused. Ile added, may I enter into my defence, my Lord. Mr. - Justice BAYLEY—Von may, if you think proper, but take care you do not do yourself mischief. If you think the case can stand better go on ; but at present there are legal objections in your favour. Here the prisoner entered into a long, wild, and rambling de fence, alleging, as the cause of his using the knife, that he only did so to save himself from being " ramped" by the other pri soners. He expected a whole gang of men to come upon him, or be never would have used a knife to one man. George Graham examined—l was in the day-room on the 16th of May.

I know that the " ramp. mg was to take place : that is, to take from him all the money he had. rxit, Auo. 20. John Murray, also a prisoner, corroborated the former witness ' Mr. Justice Bar, aEr, in recapitulating the evidence to the Jury' ohserved, that for a considerable portion of the time occupied during the trial, he had no doubt the case was manslaughter ; but as it proceeded, something occurred which it would be for the Jury to say whether it made out this case—.a case of murder. IF the pri soner had the knife by mere accident, it would be one thing; but if he bad it by design, expecting an attack, which he himself pro yokes, then that would be a circumstance calling for the particular attention of the Jury. And if they believed the prisoner had the weapon with a design to inflict the deadly wound, and that death ensued from such wound, then It would be their duty to find the prisoner guilty of wilful murder, leaving the Court to do with the prisoner as the best consideration of the subject would enable him to do. Reasonable resistance would be allowed to a man attacking another; but a deadly weapon should not be allowed to be used where there was no adequate provocation. The reason why pro vocation reduces the crania to manslaughter, is because of the sudden transport of passion ; but where • person is deliberately armed makes all the difference. This, however, is a point of such nicety, that it will require further consideration. The Jury retired at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, and returned at one o'clock with a verdict Guilty of Manslanglotrs. The foreman of the Jury then said, that the Jury wished to state it as their opinion, that it was a case of the most aggravated nature. MATRICIDE.

I do not know whether his hand was open or shut. She tell upon the flagged floor. when he kicked her, I believe on the left side.

The plaintiff had applied to a broker, named Cogtm, in Liverpool, to purchase for him a share in the Liverpool Oil Gas Company, and, about. the acme time, the defendant Scott applied to the broker to pa with all the shard in the same Company for him. The broker stated to the plaintiff the terms of the defendant. An agreement was entered into and the money was paid to the de fendant. A cestificate was received in return for the money, but it was written, not in the name of Thotnas Scott, the defendant. but of IValter Stint, his son, and a minor, of the age of ten years. Thomas Scott applied to the Secretary of the Company to make the transfer, but the Secretary refused, alleging, as the ground of such refusal, the 13th section of the Act by which the Company was incorporated, and by which thsy were entitled to refuse alt transfers, except by brute fide holders. Now he (Mr. Scarlett) had no doubt that the share purchased in the name o( the minor was put.. chased with the money of the plaintiff, and all he asked was that. as the share could not be legally transferred to him, that he should receive back his money ; but this the defendant refused to do, and the plaintiff' therefore found it necessary to bring the present action. Mr. Baron Iltri.cocx.—lf you cannot vary these facts, Sir. Brougham, I certainly have an opinion which I should have no hesitation in now giving, subject to a cast. MT. BROUGHAM made no reply, and the case proceeded. Thomas t'oglan, the broker, proved the sale of the share and the terms of sale, and the payment of the purchase-money to Mr. Scott. Both buyer and seller signed the transfer. 'the witness. remonstrated with the plaintiff for the manner in which he had acted, but he ridiculed the idea, and said, though lie bought in his son's name, the money wail his own, and he could dispose of it as he thought proper. The father and son signed the transfer ; it was delivered to Mr. Sherlock, who paid the witness the mo ney. Witness told Scott that the transfer could not be signed as his son was a minor, and that he was bound in honour to return the money. Mr. Scott had not since been able to get the trans fer registered. The witness paid the money to Mr. Scott upon the faith that the sale was a good one, and that the transfer would be made complete. Mr. BROUGHAM here contended, that according to the 43d sect. of the Act, • general power of voting was given to a minor (by his guardian.) Now if he had a right to vote he had a right t o transfer, and the Gas Company were decidedly wrong in re. fusing to register the transfer. But lie ( Mr. Brougham) did nor mean to teiy merely upon that. Coglan had been the agent of both parties; he knew the manner in which all the shares were held. These facts he communicated to the plaintiff, who with his ryes opew Mr. BATOR /I tr tLoci—Bought something which turned out to be worth nothing. Mr. BROUGIIAM—PethAp2 So. But here there has been re concealment. Mr. Heron Hut.toc t—l shall certainly direct a verdict for tics I Plaintiff, subject to a case, if either of the parties think proper. And here the case ended.
