p _ I 'WEST LONDON THEATRE. We were agreeably surprised, on looting into this theatre the other night, to petceive The im provement which, together with the sirtration of its name, has been effected in the character of its etw. tertainments. The changes its its cowpony of per formers also have been considerable and for the better. The performances of the lest week were, My Wile and Freehold ; with Contrioauces ; and Dow Giooarnel, or sr Spectre on Horseback : the two former being slightly altered from lire Miles gar, or the Finger Post ; and Seeing is Belieeinte, us- performed at the Haymarket Theatre, sod the latter differing but little from the piece of the same name an the Surrey Theatre. The principal cha racters in the two first performances were sustained with spirit and effect by Mr. W. S. Cnarritauttr and Mr. LANCASTRIL„ from. the Esigli.h Opera. house ; and by Miss COLLIIER, from the Adelphi Theatre. Mr. COOAN sequined himself very cre ditably in Giovanni. and Mr. W. S. CNATTERLEY wsa highly Musing in I.eporells. A Spinish bolero was introduced, and exceedingly well danced by Mr. CONWAY and Mrs. 11. BitriaLir. The attendance - of company in the private boxes was highly respectable. h • -I ? . ' ROUSELESS POOR. Al a meeting of she General 'Committee, oa Saturday, an 'advertisement explanatory tit the Wen hos to establish per manent receptacles for the Homeless Poor was produced by the Secretary, and agreed to We have no doubt that the farther appeal to 'the g ity of the benevuliit, which this derialow has "midi:red necessary, will be promptly and liberally answered. Tkelmab MAYOR, who presided, assnreil the Com mittee they might rely upua his wound assistmice at an Vases in hisherame of the very laudable objects 0f she association. His Lordship, at the commencement of his mayoralty, informed the Committee that the ace of rooms at she Mansion-house, or any other acconnstudation in his pnwer ' should be coutioused to be afforded. The Charity was certainly under great obligation to the late Lord Mayor, and the kindness of she preerm Chief Magistrate will leave the Committee nothiug to regret, It is one of the most pleasing features of Hoe Iniditutioa, that individuals differing widely in political as well as relsenois opinion.. are labouring in perfect harmony to promote the great °Nem in view. Ruth asylums continue to be filled with inmates ,very night. Some of the theatree have again offered benefits is aid of the fund, and collections for she mole purpose will he bade 4. on Sunday and at several churches. MIL ROTHSCIII LD. t A singular eireumstanee occurred on Saturday in Cite City, which was the subject of universal coo lion on the Ex. • change. In the course of the morning Mr. Rothschild, the head of the eminent house of that name, so celebrated throughout Europe for their Sisancial transactions with tint. ferent G rrrrr memo ' was waited on by a person M gentle. man like exterior anel manners, who sent in his card, with a request to be admitted to a private interview. His name has been mentioned, bet ia, far the present, for particular reasons, withheld. it happening to bear some resemblance to one with which 'llr. Rothschild wan familiar, lie was immediately admitted, when anerving that gentleman not to be alone, be repeated by request for a private inter view, but was informed by Mr. Rothschild, who then per. celved that he was • total stranger, there was nailing he • Illiffit not communicate in the hearing of those friends by. whom be was surrounded. The gmAlensan tbwirtnlitid, that he waited on Mg. Roweria on an affair of the greatest importance, in which his safety, and perhaps his life, was involved. lie had received, he added, certain, though secret intelligence that his cosmexioo with foreign Powers, and particularly the assistance rendered to Austria, on se ennui of the designs of that Government against the liberties of Europe, bail incited several evil •lispoisail persons to the design of assassinating him, and that the mode had been devised by which it was to he car ried into calm,. This alarming intimation, which was delivered without any observable incoherence of manner, . was steepest...l by Mr. Rothschild with a smile, anti, after returning his thanks for the intelligence, wills the ob. Nervation, that as he felt he had never done wrong to any in• divislual, lie could not entertain the idea that any persons could have formed an atrocious a design as that described, and Chet he really thought obit • fair no wort y his attention. The gentleman t ben took leave, and was suffered to depart; but it _ occurred afterwards to the friend. of Mr. Rusliachilsi, that it woad have been more pestilent to have detained him, in order to learn from him the sources of 'iis information, one of the City Magistrates wit. applied to for advice in the hest manner of pros ceding. 1 his bad scarcely been dole before Mr. Roths child received another visit from the same person, also !lOW came to inform him, with am ksof great sat isfect ion, that the designs against him bad been abandoned. He was taken, however, in the custody of a constable, to the Mansion_ house, where lee underwent • private examination. He there repeated all that be had previously disclosed respect. , ing the actual existence of the design against Mr. Raba child, and its snosequest abandonment, but nothing could compel bins to disclose the sources fr ~,,, whence his tutor. motion was attained. No desire being expressed fur his de tention be was suffered to depart, after leaving his name and adders', which was the same as those announced in his first visit, and assuring Ilse Iced Mayor that be would attend at Vie Mansion. house whenever called upon. IVicdsor Theatre closed on Saturday night, after an unprofitable season, with 7Ae Vampi►e.

THE NORTH POLE.—Whilst several of our gsl lint countrymen have been exploring the Iry Re gions of ohs North Pole, in hopes of finding the ;feared passage, and thereby gain the promised 20,000/. some of our friends here found a passage by a North Pule, by which they obtained a similar sum : we allude to one of the Lottery Pules, which directed them to SIIIEWRIGIIT'II office in the ilsymarket, by which they obtained mine of the 20,0001. h e cc . cenity sold ; and as there are Poles out now in every direction, 11,0001. may be gained, perhaps, by an East, West, North, or South Pule, and that on the tad instant, when the Cot. t.iry brio's, sad first Five Mingles will produce 61,0001. is Capitals *lone. *A circumstance which had nearly proved fatal, occurred at the new chapel, i 0 Carr's-lane, Mr sningtorm, on Sunday evening week. The Rev. Mr. Jawts, sod a congregation of upwards of .000 person•, were plunged in total darkness—the connecting pipe of the gas *cults being cut off, it is supposed, by some malicious persons. The screams of females and chilJren, and the stench of tile woo, threatened suffocation and destruction, turd the risoriety and alarm to get out of the chapel were 'stream. Mitt persona suffered, but 1101112 very seriously. it is much to be desired, that the per. petraturs will be discovered and punished. 1 OLb BAILEY, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13. .Walieses was indicted for haulm is his pesorai• them IL assetterteit motes, itastriag thous to be Lownwhr sod Rialtos, lbowmeret slacer f ol l esd the Pri. goon is bed at • esffee.absp, is Dere/Jame, asd is his coal pocket they found a forged sole mod threw Mon is • rime of brown paper oa the floor.

THIS SING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF ti. 11. PHIL. LIPS, V. SARAH POWELL. This was as indictment against the said Sarah Powell, for cruelly beating, wounding, and otherwise ill-treating Mary Aim Phillips, • child abouLsix years and a half old, sn that her life was almost despaiitel of. The Defendant pleaded Not Grill, to the charge. The jest 'tithes, called on the part of the prosecution was Samuel Hasell Phillip., father of the child. H. stated, that he pat his child last Midsummer to a ltharding.schaol, con ducted by the Defendant, Miss Sarah Powell, who told him at the time she bad several other boarders. He took his chill away front the school on the tOth November, because he hid beard she was ill used by the g When he first demanded his child he could not obtain her. On the Sunday morning, shout eleven o'clock, he went to Miss Powell's house, and knocked at the door, but received no answer. lie remained nearly an burr at the dour, knock ing violently, when he went fur • amiable ; he had every reason for believing that bliss Powell was in the house, and he set persons to watch whilst lie was gone. He ret•reied in about a quarter of an hour, with a con stable, who demanded redeemer, hot received sic answer. They then went In Aldermen C. Binaries, end procured a warrant; when they returned they knocked again, and re. eriving no suswer, the officer burst the door open. The wit ness then ran Or stairs, and found his child seated on a form, near the fire, apparently devoid of animation, and Miss Powell standing near her. He seised his child tii his arms, end asked Miss Powell how she could be so cruel as to use • child in that manner; and without waiting (or her 11111. suer, he ran down stairs. He took the child to Alderman Broom's, where she was undraped by Mrs. Brown sod the iii, wbu were greatly shocked at the treatment the little girl had received. Witness afterwerds took her home; where her mother undressed her; and i• his presewee the child was examined. The father then described the state iii whims the child appear.,d: from its fingers ends (he said) up to its star, its breast, its legs, in foci every part Of b.r body was most dreadfully bruised, and quite • jelly; the back part of the neck appareled to Lave been gored as it were with a usd, sod was covered with dried blood. The toes of the iinforin. nate infant were so bruised that the shoes could out be put on for three week,. He had heard her, whil.t lying by his bed. site, groso,asid when she turned in the bed . *Haien, " 0 dear! how sore I am" With respect to the b.uiees, the Governess told him she had several black places from hsviug fallen down. Ile was confident the child had been instructed to say she liked lirr governess, because when she saw Miss Powell in the Sword Bearer's room, before the Mayor, she 11( reamed out, "My governess will kill me!" and they could nut pacify her. No reason was ever given by Miss Powell for having refused the father of the child admission. On his cross-examination (by Mr. Preston, the Defend. dam's Counsel), this witness, in answer to sonic questions, whether there was a bell in the room, and how Miss Powell was dressed, said that his feeling, were so nincli hurt, that he did not stop to make any remarks; he only knew that Miss Powell was very dirtily dressed ; he slid not know whe. tier the child had any shoes on; he seised her hat frum off some drawers by the window, Mrs. Phillipps, mother of the child, corroborated the statement of the last witness, as to the appearance+ of her daughter; witness Sid not believe such bruises could he or. casitmed by a fall or by a rod; she went once or twice to the school, anal said she was sorry to hear her child had hero ill-treated. Miss Powell said it was false; she was not, however, satisfied, and told Mr. Philipps she would go again. was daughter had been vacc i na t e d ; s h e was perfectly well after the vscethation. Miss Powell hail two girls sod one lisyiwhen her child went ; could nut say whether the bruises might not bare liceir.,occasioned by • qUiVrt, 1111“tIli the children. Elizabeth Clay, servant to Alderman C. Brown, spoke as to the appearance of the child. Mrs. Mary Aim Harrison lived next door to Miss Powell; has had often occasion to remark how ill used the poor child wax, she had 'Veil her slap the thud on the face violently, and remarked she thought she was moth lOU severe; the governess said the child was a great story teller. The child came into her (the witness's) house one afternoon to borrow some ' thing; the witness asked her whether she should tell her mo ther; the little gin I said," don't stop me, or my governess will beat nie again." On the Dili November, about twelse or oue, when Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were abed, they beard screams, and the child say, " Pray don't beat me any more, you will kill me." MISS Powell asked the witness out day to take care of young Phillips (the child iu question); this the consented to du; she examined the child, and seat for Iwo neighbours to see her; she was very much bruised, and appeared very low, and hardly spoke ; she look the child and put her to bed. The next morning she was near enough to see Miss Powell heat the child, and beard her inquire what Mr. and Mrs Harrison bad asked her over night; she at first said nothing; the Defendant then threat ening to heat her very violently if she did loot tell, the child told the truth. Wilsey' saw the child wills • very black rye, which the child said was occssioued by her go verness pushing her out of bed in the middle of the night ; she went in to speak to the Defendant, sod asked her how the eye became's° black ; she said it was done coming tint of the school-room, against the dour. The next day wit ness went to Mr. Phillips. On her cross-examination ' witness said she saw the De. readmit strike the child with part of a parasol; never saw her brat the other children; the Defeudant always seemed spiteful to the child—bas seen her knock her bead against the door. Mr. Carley, he surgeon, was neat called in, who bore Imitating to Ilse appearance of the child ; he did not believe it could have been done by • fall, nor that the places in the neck proceeded from varcinatiou. There were other witnesses in attendance, hat the Counsel for the Defendant said be would spare the Court the trouble of examining them.
