Sartzmnsa 4, /824. It will be seen by the letter of our Paris Correspondent on what terms alone the rewards of public eereive are to be purchased, and the functions of magistracy retained, under the present system cf Government in France. It is always gratifying to record every instance in which the native ho nesty of the human heart triumphs over its more selfish propensities. It is refreshing to find, now and then, an individual in public life who refuses to make himself the subservient tool of his patron. M. SA NLOT BAGUEN AU LT was, it appears, elected a Deputy, through the active sgency of the Ministers, to the exclusion cf M. Lamm They left no means of corruption unspplied to carry his election, and they succeeded. But to their surprise and dis appointment, their c: re Mate, instead of devoting himself with entire obedience to their views, was disposed occasion -I ally to think for him.;lf. M. Sanlot Baguenault had a due share of political gratitude, but he had likewise, it seems, a more than due slime of moral integrity. lie opposed M. de Vti.stte in hl* project of reducing the interest of the funded creditor : he afterwards assisted in reviving the As istarque. These acts, it seems, were of themselves more than enough, not only to induce the Ministers to withdraw from him the light of their countenance, but utterly to reverse all their former sentiments of high coati drrat:oa. Haring altea ty removed an Advocate-General fur presuming that he had a public duty to perform, and being thereby induced to suffer judgment to pass in favour of the .4 risiorque, it was not likely they would suffer use of the poprietuts of that journal to continue in quiet possession O r an official appointment from which it was in their powet to remove him. 'File Ministry could not dis place him as Lmruti: de Paris; this was not within the stretch of their power. But M. Sanlot Baguensult was Moyer of the Seennel Ar poidissement de Paris, and iu this situation was subject to the authority of the Minister of the Inns rive ; and this authority has accordingly been manifested by his removal from office. But the Ministry, in whom the sense of shame, it should seem, is not yet quite extin guished, are most anxious to keep this measure a secret, and tbe Committee constituting the LK NSURt have received orders to suffer net arep!ion of it to transiire is the ?oldie jeseraa's:—The formation of a Ministry for ecclesiastical af leirs, and the new arrangements projected, are designed, it would appear, by M. Corhieres (Minister of the Interieure) a prop it for dismissing the principal persons hitherto under his employ in that department, and accordingly upwards of twenty individuals have been discarded, after many years' service. The alleged necessity for this harsh and unwarrantible measure is, that it is essential to this reor ganization ; but the real cause is, the opportunity which it affurtis of filling up their vacancies with creatures and de pendents. We leant from another letter, on which we rely, that the King, notwithstanding the very dangerous star: of his lictehh, strives, in compliance with the wishes of those most about his person, to comesl it as much as possible from the public; and he exerts himself to the utmost, to remove any impression that he is drawing near to his end. Mention is made of a conversation that he held the other day with Loan Ws n ass LA ; during which, while it was thought he was completely exhausted, suddenly mused himself and begged to take part in the -ation, spoke in a manner perfectly collected, and 111011:4.11t, appearance of cheerfulness. It De sudd convt r.': twen 1• • 311 11$ 811 81 47 1111 was the importance which his Majesty attaches to ihe counteracting the report of his hvalth, which has in duced him to ride out twice since his Birth-day (an 'Fie.) The first time he returned in so alarming a condition, that it was found necessary to apply blisters and other active and ins:ant remedies; he suffered somewhat less the second time, but it was then also foin:il necessary to repeat the blisters th• next morning ; and the result of show efforts have made it inditpenrable that his Majesty should discon tinue them, fur the present at least, lest the consequences should be fatal. Our neighbours, the Dutch, aeon to have caught the prevalent mania for joint stock, or, es they term them, anonymais societies. We have just seen a very lengthy, ill written, and worse translated, prospectus, comprehended in six chapters, and 109 articles, for a joint stock Com- 1 pany, for the improvement of the trade, navigation, agri culture, ship-building, and manufactures of the Nether lands. This project has received the sanction of his Netherlandic Majesty. The chief object which the pro jectors seeni to have in view is, to regain that share of the East India and China trade, whith they have confessedly lost ; but we suspect that their commercial powers were too long under the fostering charge of Bonaparte, to be so easily awakened into life as they seem to expect. _ The proposed capital of this Company is to be thirty seven millions of Netherland florins, on which they are to besecured an interest•of 41 per cent. We may soon ex pert to hear of this plan upon our own exchange, but we would recommend our readers to pause before they risk their money on such a speculation, as it will require some thing more than a decree of the King of the Netherlands to restore to his subjects a trade which has so long been se cured by the Britialt and North American merchants. This project may, in some degree, account for the breach of faith, and diplomatic quibbling, which we observed some time since had taken place, on the part of the Dutch Minister, with regard to Ratoeni. By the arrival of a gentleman of great respectability and intelligence from Egypt, we learn that the niche has de clared, that he will this year raise fifty thousand bales of cotton. 'Whether he can accomplish this or not, it at least shews, that he has every inclination to effect that purpose, and there can be no doubt that in time lie will have the power. All this mass of production must come to this country in British bottoms, and consequently will not only bean much subatracted from American growth, but alarg: proportion of freight deducted from American tonnage. Such are sonic of the consequenceialready resulting from the American tariff: indeed, there was hardly a reflecting man throughout the Union, that did not foresee that that ill-advised measure would recoil with ten-fold force on the Americans themselves. The majority by which it was passed into a law was smaller than any we recollect. Our trade to America will be but little injured by the tariff, as, besides the Canadian frontier, through which goods may be smuggled by British subjects, the whole seaboard of the States is laid open to the native American smugglers, whom the high duties will certainly tempt to evade the rove nue. The celebrated offensive and defensive treaty of Catherine with the Northern Powers, first gave importance to the iron manufacture of England, and we should not be surprised if the American tariff, should it be persisted in, were to make the Mahometana the most extensive growers of tobacco and cotton. A shocking view of the state of the administration of justice in Ireland among the lower authorities, is given in our Assize Intelligence from the County of Fermanagh. Some Protestants and Catholics were tried for the parts they had taken in riots arising from the party quarrels by ' which the country is distracted. It was contrived by the Sub-Sheriff that the Jurors should be exclusively Orange men, and the consequence was, that the Catholics were all found guilty, and the Protestants acquitted. A Catholic who had been wounded in the thigh by a shot fired by the Protestant rioters, was assaulted on leaving the table, almost within view of the Court. lie was followed into the streets and there publicly struck a desperate blow on the hack of his neck. Informations were immediately swot.. in Court for the apprehension of the Orange ruffian, but he was allowed to escape. The whole proceedings were of so outrageous a nature, as to provoke an indignant and eloquent rebuke from the Learned Judge who was presiding, and who with his own eyes witnessed part of the violent proceedings which the Sub- Sheriff had the insolent assurance to say he had fifteen witnesses to disprove! It appears also, that in another case, in which a Catholic had been wounded, three Magis trates had refused to take evidence respecting the crime. We may guess, from these facie, how necessary a purga tion .of the magistracy had become, and how necessary it still is that the Orange Association should be utterly sup pressed, fur the peace and safety of Ireland. WINDSOR, SEPT. 3.—The King left the Royal Lodge this morning, for the purpose of taking his aecustomill ride, and proceeded to Virginia iVater. The band of the First Lite Guards have gone from 'Windsor to Virginia Water, to play for the amusement of the King and his noble visitors. The band of the Second Life Guards W. 15 also in attendance yesterday. At an early hour yesterday morning, the Duke of York arrived in town from 11'indsor. Soon after tt n o'clock his Royal Highness gave an interview to Sir Herbert Taylor, and transacted military business. We have been informal upon authority on which we think we may salidy rely, that Lord William Retain& has been a!ready nominated to the Governor Generalship of the Cape of Good Hope, rice Lord F. Somerset, who is soon expected in this country. Yesterday the Prince de Polignac, Ambassador from the Court of France, transacted business at the Foreign Office with Mr. Secretary Canning, who, we ale happy to state, is quite retovered trom his recent indisposition. There was an arrival from the Havannah yesterday in thirty-six days, but no political intelligence; no recent 111:M4 had been received there from Mexico. 1:: tiers were yesterday received from Maranbam, of the TM) July, width state that the province of Brazil con tinued in a convulasisi and distracted state. 1% . e can state, positirtiy, that the ne7nciations for a New Spanish Loan are not broken off. The discussions upon the subject are still mice:ding; but, in the present stage of the business, it is impossible to say how they may rut inate.—Courier. We have conversed with a gentleman recently returned from Paris, and his account of the King's actual condition, while it awakens the liveliest sympathy for the. Royal suf ferer, leaves us no doubt as to the fact of his rapidly ap proaching dissolution. It is, however, just possible, but, certainly, far from probable, that nature, aided by all that human skill can do, may still rally for a short period. With respect to any political consequences likely to result (ruin the event, whenever it takes place, we believe they will be of little moment. M. de Villele has consolidated his power, and the war of paragraphs and pamphlets, which the Viscount de ('hatcaubriand s retirement had ex cited, is at an end.—Eeenine• Paper. ' Pus HANK.—We attended at the Bank yesterday, in espectatien of a meeting which was to have taken place, relative to the reduction of interest. We were informed there, however, that the paragraph respectin; the meeting had crept into the pipers without the knowledge of the proprietors, and the y believed it was done for the purpose of ereativit alarm unnecessarily, but there is no intention of a meeting of the proprietors on the subject sued in the paragraph. FRO3I OUR CORRESPONDENT. PAWS, BIM. 1. The Ministry every day signalise their career by some act of ignoble and cowardly despotism. Every body re members that it is riot sis months since the Ministers did not blush to have recourse to the most criminal and shame ful means to procure the election of M. Sanlot Baguenault las Deputy for Paris, instead of M. Lafitte. Circular soli citations, threats, false voters, false votes (pox &clears, fit sssss corks dent, ie dans ha colleges) violence, corruption, nothing indeed was omitted to insure the return of M. Sanlot Daguenault. The ministry succeeded. Their can didate was elected in preference to M. L•efitte. It appears that the ministry lent their support to M. Sanlot Hague:intuit only from the retsuasion that when l: was chosen deputy he would vote for them iike a valet, according to the orders they gave him. It has not been so, howectr. M. Sanlot Daguenault spoke, and with some talert, against elle law proposed by M. de Wide respecting the Itentes. Same time after he entered into an association with M. de Larboureleimaye and M. Leinoine, to revive the Aria torque. It required no more to change into hatred the previous goodwill the Ministry hail borne towards him. When they had dismissed an Advocate-General of the Court of Cessation, for having su&rtel a n•stilt favour able to the Aristarque, one could not be s,Nrprised that they would not allow one of the proprietors of that journal to wAtinue in possession of those public functions which are in their girt. The Ministry could not deprive M. Sanlot Bagetenault of the title of Deputy, which they had so largely contributed to procure fur him ; but as he was Mayor of , the Second Arrondisement of Paris, lie was, in respect of that oltice, subject to the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Interior, and no time was lest to make him feel it. M. Baulot Ilaguenault bat just been dismissed from his' mayoralty, but at the same time the ministry are so much ashamed of this act, that they do all they can to keep it secret, and the Censors have received orders not to suffer it to transpire in the journals. The formation of a ministry of religions worship, and the new general arrangements consequent thereupon, serve M. Corbieres a• a pret xt for discharging thelprineil a' em ployt.4 in his department. More than twenty of these are mentioned who have been many years in the service. They arc discharged on the pretext of r.:organization, but really to make way for others. Tue Censors have orders to pre vent the Journals from speaking of these dismissals. The Censors hod I th,ir meetings in a place into which no profane p !rsoli is allowed to enter. Some rash indivi duals, however, who have seen it, state, as a curious pecu liarity, that it is unia:actiteil with a bust of the Count d'Artois, while we may look in vain there fur a bust of the King. Amidst the paucity of foreign intelligence, and the happy rareness of demestic occurrenc-s of "deep interest," it is gratifying that all we have to communicate is of a cheering character. The harvest has been abundant throughout the country, and the late fine weather has given the farmer the means of getting it secured. Our manufactures, par tieularly our great staples, are in high demand, and give good prices. We extract the following from a letter ad dressed to his correspondent in the City from an extensive:, dealer in the iron trade in Warwickshire:— 1 '• The great demand for our manufactures has produced some disquietude through the whole of ours and neighbouring districts fur an advance of wages. In two instances submission was the wisest plan ; but a still further demand has placed those who have made large engagements in ammo perilous situation, as it would be impossible to replace the considerable engagements I had during the first five months of the year at an advance of 15 or 20 per cent., and heavy ankles, as iron nails, at 25 per cent. ; and yet the de. mantis on these terms cannot be half supplied at present ; but there must be a re-action, and whoever is the first to get to n market with those advances, will find great difficulty till the prices settle down to 4 regular standard." We have received a series of (;ibraltar Papers to the 13th ultimo. Tncy confirm the intelligence respecting the fever at Cadiz. The police regulations, refared to in the following article, we think may probably have been adopted, in some measure, on account of the political events in the neighbourhood of the fortress. The follow ing is an extract: GIBRALTAR, AUCI'ST 11. Intelligence of the yellow fever haying broken out at the Ilavan nah seems to have lately reached Cadiz. In consequence of which several new police re.mlations were issued on the 31st ult.. forbid. ding foreigner. to lodge, spend the night. or stay in the buildings, sheds, or eating-houses mitside the walls, or to enter the city, except through' Waterport or handeort Gates, and with the med. site passports, under th? penalty of 1(N) ducats and 3U daye fihement ; to which will be likewise liable those who harbour the °Wenders. - The following is an extract of a letter from a naval officer, dated Gibraltar, August 11. It is curious only as it thews ill., spirit which actuated the Spaniards in their bite enterprise at Tarifa. It also &hews that the French Aid not succeed quite to cheaply as they would lead us to believe in their official 2CCOUIIIt " There is sonic eseitiment here, Owing to a party of Spanish Constitutionalists having got into Tarifa.

I was close in last night, within a quarter of a mile a the town. Among their rejoicings they forgot to bight up the light-house ; however, a large moon, and ■ clear night, did quite as sell. Atto. lt—This morning there has been a hfstvy firing at Tarifa. A French General has been brought to Algesiras, whn has died of his wounds. The Spaniards here are.full of fun and frolic about the matter." The Cour Royale gave judgment yesterday (Tuesday last) in the caw of Mrs. Mary Bryan, a native of Ireland, the divorced wife of Colonel Milky Doyle. The Tri bunal of First Inatspcc had decided against a second mar riage, which .he proposed to celebrate before the Mayor of the Third Arrondissetnent, %ill) M. ;gondol), a winia ture painter. This decision the Cour Royale now con firmed, adopting the opinion of the inferior Court, that as the French law no longer recognises divorce as the dissolu tion of marriage, even strangers divorced according to the law of their country cannot be married a second time in France.—Parix Paper. By the last news from Greece, it appears, that Prince Ma nrocordato had concluded " a Convention of Neutrality " with (hoer Vrione, and made advantageous arrangements with the chide of soma Albanian trilies, which would almost compel the Pacha of Scutari to remain neutral. It is even said that the latter was also secretly ritvciating with the Greek Government. The Russian Government, according to recent accounts, has imposed a tax of three per cent. on the produce of all the copper mines in Russia, which will be productive of a considerable revenue, instead of the 300,000 rubles that twit to he raised under the old system. The whole line of road through Kingsland, Enfield, Tot tenham, and as far as the seven mile stone, at Lower Edmonton, is about to be lit with gas, supplied front the manufactory in hackney-fields. The pipes are nearly all laid down, and many of the lamps erected, indeed, as far as Stamford-hill, is already lit up, and from the number of workmen employed, it es expected the entire length of road will be illuminated in about a fortnight's time. An experiment was last week made in Kendal, at the ' shop of Mr. Phillipson, to ascertain the powers of a certain newly invented waterproof cloth. A piece was folded up in the form of a bag, filled with water, and hung up at ten o'clock on Thursday morning. It was taken down on Friday afternoon, at two o'clock, and -found not to have, leaked one drop. ToTourists, Gray's Annie of Iloads, recently published, will be found a most useful travelling companion, its plan embracing Much features of utility and ready reference, as have long been wanted in Itineraries. For instance, it brines into one paint of view the various lines of route' leading to any required point of distance, and the Index is so arranged 83 to enable a direct and immediate reference to any required mote, at whatever principal town or water ing-place the tourist may happen to be. Iksides these advantages, it contains several lines of route which arc not to be found in any similar publication, and amongst which we notice a line of communication between the west-end of the Metropolis and the north roads, through Edgcware, Hemel Hempstead, and Leighton, joining the Chester anti Holyheatl..;oad, near the 41st milestone, from Hicks's Hall ; as a:so an outline of the new road now formin g front Chelteollun to I lereford ; particulars of the contem plated improvements on the Holyhead-road, &c. &c. ac companied with a complete set of county maps, price 12s. or, with the maps coloured, 13s. half bound.

NUM, SEPT. 1. The King heard Mari In his apartment. Ili. Majesty presided at a Council of Ministers which lasted two hours. Mr. Iltirtado, Minister from Colombia to London. has just ar rived at Paris with his family. He alighted at the Hotel d'Orvil km Rue de It ivoli. The plague has appeared at Ator in the lonian Islands. The High Commissioner has re-established the Sanitary Laws pre viously in force in all their vigour. A revolt on the part of the felons. condemned to the gallies for life, at Toulon, had long since been apprehended, and measures had been taken to suppress it, if it broke out. On the 23d ult., at noon, at the moinert that those of them who sere employed upon the gmur.d of Alourillon, were entering a shed under which they repose during suspension from labour, one of them, with a cutting instrunieet, struck the serjeant of the guard, who, finding himself attacked, drew his sword and stretched the felon who had wounded him dead at his feet. This was the signal of revolt. They all rushed upon the guards, who, in defence, fired upon the assailants. 1111. Reynatl, Commissary of Marine, hastened to the spot, and order was promptly restored. In this utinirtunate eircunistansa sixteen of the galley-slaves were killed and several wounded. The Kim g of Prussia, according to custom, has avoided the homages of his natal anniversary. Ile went to the Isle des Peons, at the confluerce of the Spree and Ilavel, near l'oadani. It is a delightful retreat, in the midst of our plai..s of sand, where there is a superb collection of flowers, particularly of roses. The King, who much enjeys himself there, has lately embellished it by purchasing, for 311,000 crowns, a new collection of roses and exotic plants. It is also the favourite retreat of the Princess Royal, daughter of the King of Bavaria. mere will be the,: camps d'exreciser this autumn; in Silesia, near Breslau ; in Prussia, near Konfsberg„ and in l'omerania. The troops of the garrison and Royal tluard of Berlin will also msnauvre in the vicinity of that capital. There are two remarkable tnings in the measure which we an. 'flounced in our last number, viz. the creation of a Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs, and the choice of the Prelate appointed to this high function; both merit the gratitude of the clergy. The formation of a special Ministry for Ecclesiastical Alliirs has long been earnestly desired by the friends of religion, and may lead to results of the highest importance to the Church of France.

FIL•WITOIT, AUG. 26. A document has been communicated to us, by which the King of England approvur the reasons which induced his Jlinisters of the Kingdom of Hanover to dissuade his Britannic Majesty from :he project of sending a corps of Hanoverian troops ur Portugal. after the conference which took place at Johannisberg. between Count Munster and Prince Metternich. The mganixation of the Prussian Catholic Bishoprics will now be carried into execution : the principles of this orinnization were tint ! laid down in the concordat concluded wi:h the Clue* of Rome, and further developed in the Papal Bull. which was made public at the time ; but some difficulties having unexpectedly arisen, the exe cution was suspended. Some of the Prelates nomina ted by his 3lajesty to the Archiepiscopal and Episcopal SLTII in the new Prussian provinces, declined accepting the new dignities conferred on them, but they have now changed their minds ; among them is M. de Spiegel, nominated to the Archbishopric of Cologne.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Si a—There is a practice at the police-offices, which is, I believe, wholly unknown to the Magistrates and to t he public generally, but which, as a scandalous fraud, and impediment in the administration of justice, is worthy of your observatien. I allude to the practice of extorting fees or rewards front parties who, re t choosing to preseent with the consent of the Magistrates withdraw the charges they may have preferred. I do net impute to the chief officers at the police-offices any pecuniary pin ticipation in these shameful transactions, though I ant afraid they are not al together ignorant of the practice. The infericr officers, I have been informed by the hest authority, viz. by them selves, derive the principal part of their income from this unlawful and dishonest source. A friend of mine, some time ago, had his purse abstracted from his pocket, under such circumstances as admitted of little doubt that a suspicious personage near to him had taken the liberty of extending his acquaintance beyond the bounds with in which my friend would rather have confined it. On a personal search, the property was not found on the suspected party, but shortly after it was discovered in his! immediate neighbourhood. The haler could not swear that the purse might not have dropped from his pocket, though he did not believe it had. The Magistrate thought proper to allow the charge to be withdrawn, with a suitable admonition to the prisoner, and ordered the ! purse to be restored to its owner, who left the office per fectly satisfl d with the result. Ile hail scarcely reached the outside, however, when he found himself surrounded and pursued by several fellows, who advanced claims to no trifling amount for their attendance and services. I should have stated, that my friend neglected to attend at the Police Office on the morning following the supposed rob bery, and these police myrmidons each claimed two days pay. The gentleman, unwilling to be seen in alte.Tcation in the streets with this train, who set up their demands in a coarse and almost abusive manner, consented to buy off, the nuisance by compromising their claims. His unfortu nate purse was again drawn from his pocket, and after in this way getting rid of his followers, he found that he was jet. t 29. richer than if he hadoriginally suffered the theft to base passed unnoticed, to say nothing of the annoyance and inconvenience lie had sustained. The purse contained a sovereign and seven shillings when it was purloined. The pretense of the fellows was, that as the gentleman had refused to prosecute, in which ease the county would have paid them, it was his duty to nuke then compensation; and one of them had even the insolenc; to remark, that " because the Magistrate had suffered the felony to be compounded, he could not lose what he was entitled to." You will ask, perhaps, why did not the gentleman return into the office and make the affair known to the Magistrates? I admit he acted very wrongly in submiting to the imposition, which he ought to have resisted ; but as he submitted from his disinclination to be brought be fore the public in such company, the same reason prevent ed him from seeking redress afterwards. Transactions of this nature are, I believe, more frequent than might be commonly supposed. These leeches know, as it were, in stinctively, upon whom to fasten; and I am sorry to say. that the mode of reporting police cases, adopted by some of the Daily Papers, tends too much to facilitate these ex tortions. The practice of " 'hewing tip," in the most ri diculous light, every person who has occasion to make his appearance at a police-office, has the effect of deterring numbers from daring to claim the protection of the law. They prefer the first injury to the risk of a remedy which may inflict a greater; and thus a Daily Paper, which some times talks of its morality, allies itself with the operations of the moat unprincipled plunderers, into whose bands the unwary or inexperienced may fall. I shall be glad, Sir, if these remarks draw your ft! tention to the subject, which I am sure deserves your animadversions. I am, Sir, your cottaut reader, En& VAUXHALL. After a season as singularly successful at it hat bees tk serveelly so, these Gardens closed their entertainments bet evening. If the fineness of the weather be taken fora rule by which to judge, these Gardens should certainly continue their delightful amus.iinews fir at least a fee nights longer. It was a saying of the facetious bid Norbury, on seeing the sun shine on a winter's thy, that Summer had come to pay 11 . inter a visit. It wadi really seem, that fur the last few days Summer had literally come to pay Autumn a visit, and the propriesen of Vauxhall should be induced to protract their enteruie menus, in courtesy to this their appropriate seas.m. Of the entertainments we can only speak in the same tare of unqualified praise that has already exhausted our TOO• bulary of commendation. Thirty thousand lamps, in add- Lion to the three or four Ituadreel thousand lamps lit up. ordinary ocessi , ms, bited " The King," ‘• The Duke of York," " 'fhe Duke of Clarence," &e., in elegant teanspz.e rencies of blue and pink vsrieg.ateel lamps. The cosy efeil of this illuminated square, with a temple of light in the centre, was truly in a style of gorgeous and orieuial nv4- iiiticence. It brought borne all those visions of radiant. ment which have been inspire into our minds by per using the Tales of Me Geeii, and those other somantic records of enchantment, that create impressions whic:t are the earliest, and perhaps therefore the strongest. It would exc.-td the number enrolled in homer's catalogue to mitererate the various and diversified entertairmeno ef the last evening. Suffice it to say, there was the sane display of liberal entertainment—the same seer-ie:eile.d Inanagiement on the part of the proprietors—and tie sane polite attention by the superintendent man:l:zee of the Gardens (Mr. Simpson), which have ensureal fcr these Gardens a degree of unexampl. d patronage, and which will never fail to await similar exertions to attract and cat ciliate public favour. It is a matter of satis'action no less to the public than to :he proprietors, that only one robbery has been committed, alehough there have been :00,00 visitants and up wards to the Gardens during the pre sent season ; and even this solitary instance of theft was followed by immediate detection, which must give the visitors of these Gardens renewed and augir.entcd orof deuce in the highly creditable mode of manag.ment which has prevailed throughout the season. The !ollowingis the concluding address for the s,•ason, which was spoken by Mr. Williams in a suitable manner, and received nab lota and general applause:— " Lactiey and t;euttemen.—At the emelt:eon of the third yard( the present Proprietorship of these Gardens, I have tint to alb you their most siheeresnd leapt:caul acknowledgments tor a saw of great success nerd popularity.

The ph! I was the ('abinet. l'rimee Orlando. Mr. Sinclair; sea ?loran), Miss liallanele. Mr. Sinclair was in most eN• cellent voice—he displayed a voluptuous mellowness of toot which we nescr heard surpassed, and such a power ova the whole compass of *lutes as to astonish, se much as at' light, by the amazing rase with which he ran from one to the other. The " Beautiful Maid" was rapturously r:)• cored, and " No more by sorrow" called for again wgh excessive enthusiasm. llr. Sinclair, however, is not the beau idea we have imagined of a singer. lie is too arti ficial and Italianised—his arms move too m e vhanieallt , and he seldom, if ever, displays frellitc. Notwithstand ing what we have said of Mr. Sinclair's fes.ling as singer, he exhibited no small portion of it as a man het night. Miss Edmiston, a very interesting and clever ac tress, dropped dowr. in a fit, just as Mr. Sinclair wasabout to commence " Oh ! Lady, ne'er will 1 prove false to thee," in consequence of which, that air was no n ce g: , but " All's Well," substituted fur it. at a later pe cfi the evening.
