(ADVERTISEMENT.) NEW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE. " Queen Elizabeth dying March 24, 1602, was succeeded by James the 6th, King of Scotland, as next heir to the Crown, and of the Queen's nomination. Accordingly no sooner was the new King come up to London to take possession of the Crown, but an humble petition of the Ministers of the Church of England, as they styled them selves, was presented to his Majesty, desiring reforthation of certain ceremonies and abuses of the Church. In the preamble to the petition, they told his Majesty that they, to the number of more than 1,000 of his Majesty's sub jects and ministers, all groaning as under a common bur den of rites and ceremonies, did with joint consent humble themselves at his Majesty's feet to be eased and relieved in this behalf, and that their humble suit to his Majesty was, that of the offences following., some might ba removed, some amended, and some qualified. These offences were, Ist, in the Church Service ; end, Church Ministers ; 3rd, Church Livings and Maintenance ; 4th, Church Disci pline : in all which they complained of many abuses and corruptions.' " The King who was resolved to follow the example of other Christian Princes, who, in the commencement of their reigns, usually took the first course for the establishing of the Church both for doctrine and polity, issued out his proclamations, whereby he appointed several Bishops and Deans, together with the Principals of those who had pre sented this petition to the King, to attend on him at his palace of Hampton-court, on January 12,1603, there to confer with his Majesty about these abuses and corruptions of which he had received such complaints." " On the second day of this conference, Dr. Reynolds, who was the foreman and speaker of the Puritans, moved his Majesty that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because, as he said , those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward the VI., were cor rupt, and not answerable to the truth of the originall," page 310.

" With respect to the authority of great names, it should be remembered that he alone deserves to have any weight or influence with posterity, who has shown himself superior to the particular and predominant error of his ou'o time 3, who, like the peak of Tenerife, has hailed the intellectual sun before its beams have reached the horizon of common minds ; who, standing like Socrates on the apex of wisdom, has removed from his eyes all flm of earthly dross, and has foresen a purer law, a nobler system, a brighter order of thiegs ; in short, a promised land."—Lacon.

His study is to remove them, and make the Old Testament in Hebrew speak as it was written, neither to add to, nor di minish from, a vowel point in it.

" Mr. Bellamy's endeavours have had for their object the manifestation of the unimpeachable character and at tributes of the great Jehovah, and the inviolable purity of the Hebrew text. Every Christian will wish success to such labours, and every Hebrew scholar will examine if they deserve it." * * 4 " Mr. Bellamy has met with patronage in the very highest quarter—a patronage liberal in every sense of the word, and as honourable to the patron as the author. His alterations, I admit, are extremely nu merous, important, and consequential, but they are sup ported by a mass of erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand our most serious attention, and many, in common with myself, will lament that they have drank at the stream more freely than at the fountain."— Lacon, C. C. Colton. " I content myself with submitting the grand point on which any difference of opinion on Joshua x. 12, 13, can exist to the generality of your readers, and leave them to determine for themselves whether it be easier to understand a verse which states, that when Joshua commanded, in the sight of Israel, the sun was setting on Gibeon, whilst the moon was rising on the valley of Ajalon,' or a transla tion which asserts, that the same chieftain said, in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Ajalon.'

Your Lordship, In a paragraph you penned, having promulgated an ar dent hope that our country should be the halcyon ground On which h o ly p eace be found," prompts us to become your auxiliaries, to give it effect and perpetuity. If, on the slight premises set forth, one Sovereign should deem it expedient, for a people's welfare, here and here after, to act to that extent, it may now be maintained, without fear of contradiction, that a similar proceeding is imperative. In this our day, " our tran s l a ti on " is not im pugned (taking the various denominations from Sir Robert Peel's eulogy of his friends) by " Unitarians," " Indepen dents," the " Wesleyan Methoditts," or " the R oman Catholics"—to which might be added the SI P, lyterir.n sour, Or sharp free-thinker, all things in an hour."

It is true no age can restore a life, whereof, perhaps there is no great loss ; and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary therefore what perse cution we raise against the labours of men stored up in books, since we see a kind of homicide may be thus coin• mitted—sometimes a martyrdom—and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execu tion ends not in the slaying of elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immortality rather than a life."

The priest well knew that " the fiat of the Almighty" had gone forth, that "the knowledge of Him should cover the earth as the waters the sea ;" and yet impiously promulgated his nipping blast ; and without the recording angel as it was to it, down dropt a tear upon the deed, in his verbiage upon poor Protestants' opacity—" in hell he lifts his eyes." The prince magliiinimously gave " his countenance" and his purse--he " hailed the intellectual sun before its beams had reached the horizon of common minds ;" neither on his head, heart, or hands lay the damning. sin of " a kind of massacre, where in the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental Efe, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; slays an immortality rather. than a life."

Longman, Sherwood, Neely, and Co., London. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Susan Atkins, a young woman with an infant in her arms, attended at this office, to complain against the parish authorities of St. Pancras, for having discharged her from the workhouse, and refusing to grant her any relief. Keys, the overseer, attended on the part of the parish. The complainant was formerly a servant at the Cobham Arms Inn, Buckingham, where she became acquainted with a man named Atkins, who paid his addresses to her, repre senting himself . as a single man and a farmer. They were ultimately married, and lived together ; and she had three children by him, when he deserted her and came to London, where she traced him and followed him. On her arrival, being in great distress, she applied to the parish, and she was subsequently admitted into St. Pancras workhouse. Atkins was sought after, and traced to have married a young woman named Grafton, residing at Islington, and that his first wife was then living. He was apprehended and underwent several examinations at this office, when he was fully committed for trial, and was convicted at the late Sessions at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. Since his conviction she had received an intimation from the parish officers that she could no longer be re tained in the workhouse, and she was discharged with her children, and, having no friends in London, she sought refuge in the house of Mrs. Richmond, of 32, Brewers street, Somers -town, who is sister to Atkins, and who ren dered her and her children every assistance ; but not being so circumstanced as to continue her services, she was com pelled to apply to the magistrates of this office, to whom she explained her case, and they caused the present pro ceeding. The parish officers held that she ought to be passed to her settlement at Leamington, preparatory to which they wanted her to sign a written document, stating that she was an unmarried woman, with three children, which she refused to accede to. Mr. LAING thought she was perfectly right in refusing to sign such a document ; and he is a magistrate could not think of compelling her to such an act, as it would be equal to proclaiming herself as a prostitute, and her chil dren bastards. He asked the complainant if she was not encumbered with the children could she do anything for herself? He believed she was a cook. She replied in the affirmative, and id that she had been offered a situation at eighteen guineas a year, besides per quisites. Mr. LAING said that Edwards, the officer, had been sent to Buckingham to collect particulars of the examination of her husband, and that she bore an unexceptionable cha meter. Mr. LAING and Mr. BENNETT strongly reprobated the conduct of the parish authorities, and suggeste;l that Keys should return and remonstrate with them for their conduct on this particular occasion, and to go immediately, and the woman could remain in the office till he returned. Keys could not go immediately, for he had to go to Mid dleton -street, and she should go on to the workhouse. Mr. BENNETT-Why not go to the workhouse first, and Middleton-street afterwards `? Keys—l thought it would save me the trouble of walking back. Mr. BENNETT—Oh! The complainant said that the child in her arms was very sick, an d h a d ta k en two pow d ers t h at morn i ng , an d it was dangerous to have it cut in the cold air. Mr. LAING—The sooner the - matter is arranged the better ; for if anything happens to that infant who would be to blame ? I think the verdict of a Coroner's Jury would not be very creditable to the parish authorities of St. Pancras. The complainant then left the office to proceed to the orkbouse, wl,ere Keys promised to meet her, to put into effect the Magistrate's humane intentions, and every body present seemed to sympathise with the unfortunate woman, whose appearance was respectable, but who appeared to be in ayery distressed state of mind. _ Yesterday two respectable housekeepers offered them selves as bail for Mrs. Daly, who was charged with bigamy, and were accepted in the sum of 100/. each, for her appear ance on Wednesday next, to answer the charge, and she was liberated. THE SUN, LONDON, SATTJRDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1537. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday a fashionably-dressed young man, residing in St-. Pancras, was charged before Mr. RAWLINSOW under the following extraordinary circumstances :—Mr. Thomas Jones, formerly a flax-spinner and miller in an extensive way of business at Derby, but now living at No. 110, Guild ford -street, Southwark ; in 1831 saw an advertisement in the Derby Mercury from a person in London, who had a sum of money to lend, and in consequence thereof he (pro secutor), being at the time in want of accommodation, opened a correspondenoe upon the subject with Messrs. Trucman and Co., 42, Dempsey-street, Commercial-road, the result of which was, that he obtained a bill from No. 3, Minories, for 1801., having previously paid down 91. to the party (whose name did not transpire), with the understanding that within nine days of the said bill falling due the amount should be transmitted by prosecutor. This, according to agreement, was transmitted by the latter, at whose dwelling (greatly to his astonishment) the bill was shortly afterwards presented for payment, which being refused, the holder of the bill proceeded with a charge of forgery against the prose cutor, who was thrown into prison, and, being tried, was found guilty, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. He, however, was not sent out of the country, but served a great portion of the time in Lancaster Castle, and on board the hulks at Woolwich, and about three months ago received her Majesty's most gracious pardon. He was no sooner liberated than he sought for his wife, and was com pletely astounded at the intelligence communicated to him that during his incarceration she had been married to the prisoner, who had received the sum of 131. (a legacy from a deceased relative) from Messrs. Lowe, of Derby, upon a representation that he (prosecutor) was not in existence. Prosecutor went on at great length with his story, which was altogether unconnected and inexplicable from the quan tity of extraneous matter introduced, and as there was no proof at hand that the prisoner had been guilty of any fraud on prosecutor, inasmuch as the 131., had it not been received on the part of the wife would not have been due to him, as a convicted felon, but become forfeited to the Crown, the prisoner was for the present discharged, with ' au intimation that he might, in the event of any felony Ling established against him, be re-apprehended. A warrant for bigamy was applied for by the prosecutor against his wife, but it was not granted. THAMES OFFICE. SEA MEN'S WAG ES.—YCSterday Capt. Samuel Aqdrews• the master of the ship WitOrd, was summoned by Richard Couch, a seaman, fm the sum of 51, which he claimed as a balance of wages due to him for his s e rvi c e s on a vovAge to Quebec and back. Mr. Pelham, a solicitor, who . appeared for the com plainant, said the only point n nu, case for the opinion of the Magistrate was as to the payment of 5/. IL SO hap pened that a few days ago the crew were paid off in the cabin of the vessel, and the balance which Couch ought to have received was 121., and when lie took his money, he believed the Captain had put down two N. notes and two ,4uvereigns ; but when he got Lorne lie ascertained that he had only received one Si note and two sovereigns. The only witness was the sailor's wife, who, however, could not be examined in her husband's behalf, and therefore the ease rested on tae testimony of the sailor alone. Couch then deposed that be signedt;;eceipt for the whole balance due, 121., and that his wife put the money in her purse after it was laid on the eabin table. On reaching home, they had occasion to pay the landlady some rent due to her, when she found hut one note in her purse, which she thought was for UP., and gave it to the landlady as such, who, immediately discovering its real value, said, " Oh, Airs. Couch, this is only a 3/. nae." He saw his wife take up the note, and ..vas certain only one was laid on the cabin table. He was standing close alongside of her at the time. In auswcr to quo.,tiens by M. BhODERIP, the sailor stated that not ::1)? c! than four or five hours elapsed be tween the time of his receiving the money and the discovery of file mistake, and lie only called at one place to obtain some refreshment, where his wife gave him one sovereign. Mr. Pelham—Were you quite sober ? Couch—l was, and I am quite certain I received but one 51. Bank of Eng land note. Captain Andrews, in defence, said he put down two 5/. notes and two sovereigns on the table, and the sailor imme diately said, " take the odd change," but his wife made a grab at the whole and put it h er p urse . li e rece i ve d 128/. in notes from Williams' bank on the sama day, and paid them all away. William Andrews, son of the defendant, and second mate of the ship, deposed that he saw his father pay two 3/. notes and two sovereigns to the sailor, whose wife took the money up. His father divided the notes between his fingers as he laid them down on the cabin table, and Mrs. Couch took them up. There was no note on the table or on the ground after Couch was paid. Couch was three parts drunk at the time. Captain Andrews—l declined paying him on a former occasion because be was drunk. Wm. Lewis, an apprentice, also swore positively to the sailor's wife taking up. two 5/. notes. Mr. BRODEMP said he could not order the payment of the money. In the first place the sailor, whose evidence was quite unsupported, was an interested witness ; and, se condly, he was partially intoxicated. On the other hand, his evidence had been fully contradicted by two witnesses, one, certainly, the son of the defendant, but whose testi mony was confirmed by another in every respect. Under these circumstances he must dismiss the case. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Antoinette Morton, Eliza W ri . , ;ht, Elias IVri . 9ht, and Thomas Bury, were brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged with plundering Mr. Borris, a stationer in Newington, of a great quantity of property. Policeman Honningham, division L, stated that about seven o'clock on the preceding night lie saw Eliza Wright in Newington Churchyard receive a bundle from a boy, who gave it to her over the wall. The policeman, suspect ing that the bundle contained stolen property, took the girl Wright into custody, but finding that she was in the service of Mr. Berth the stationer, living close upon the spot, he took her there, when, on examination it was ascertained that the bundle contained a variety of articles, consisting of stationery, books, pictures, clothes, and other things, the property of the complainant. The discovery of the bundle led to the apprehension of the other prisoners, two of whom, Antoinette Morton and Elias Wright, were in Mr. Borris's service, as well as Eliza Wright. The latter girl, it ap peared, had been for some time carrying on a courtship with Thomas Bury, whom she supplied with stationary and other articles, the proceeds of the plunder of her master, and as Antoinette Morton was employed as shopwoman, the latter, it was found, supplied her with various articles from the stock to give to her sweetheart. The greater portion of the stolen property was found at the lodgings of Bury, who, on being taken into custody, said that he was con nected with the press, and when asked in what capacity his reply was that he was a newsman ; he also said that he was on the point of marriage with Eliza Wright, and in account ing for his possession of the stolen property said that it had been given to him by that girl. . Amongst the few articles there was a large quantity of marble and other expensive descriptions of writing paper, and in the girl Wright's box several letters were found from Bury, written on part of the paper that had been thus purloined. The prisoners were committed. CANADA. (From the New York Daily Express.) Extract of a letter, dated Montreal, August 30. " The session of the Parliament of Lower Canada closed on Saturday. No businees was entered upon by the As sembly, except an address in answer to the speech from the Throne. In order that every member might have his fling,' several days were spent in the discussion of this address, which was introduced by Mr. Morin, who usually guides the few on these occasions. An address differing somewhat from this, and moved in amendment, was nega tived by 62 to 17. The question of concurrence was car ried on Friday evening by a majority of 48 to 31, the 17 before-mentioned having been gained by the established minority of the house, which is now composed of 15, and pleasantly called Her Majesty's Opposition.' A propo sition to continue the session was opposed by a vote of 63 to 13 ; and best of all, an amendment, declaratory of fide lity to the British Crown, and a desire to cement or pre serve the connexion with the British empire, was negatived by a majority of 61 to 16. The democratic party wish to get the government into their own hands, with Mr. Pepineau at the head, and to have the pleasant emjoyment of sala ries of from 20,000 to 10,000 dollars, which charge may be . traced back to the days of Abraham, as men of confined,' selfish views, can have no idea of expanded, disinterested vision. Parliament was prorogued directly upon the deli very of the Assembly's address, which leaves it precisely in the position it assumed on the 30th of Septe. - nber, 1836, namely, to adjourn its deliberations until the Legiilative Counc►l be made conformable to the demands of the Papi neau party." The extensive estates of Coolishall and Glenmore, in the county of Waterford, which are to be sold by Mr. George Robins, in Dublin, on the 12th of October, have been judiciously divided into two lots ; reserving Glenmore, and its domain (which is famed for the splendour of its scenery), for separate competition. REGIETRATIGN OF VOTERS. MIDDLESEX. Messrs. Coventry and Tamlyn held their respective Courts yesterday at Gray's Inn Coffee-house, for the pur pose of revising the lists of the different parishes and dis tricts of St. Giles-in-the-Fields ; St. George Bloomsbury ; St. Sepulchre ; Gray's Inn ; the Rolls ; Lincoln's Inn ; St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr ; and Saffron-hill. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) Mr. Sowerby applied on behalf of Lord J. Russell, Lord Charles Russell, and Lord Wrottesley Russell, to have their names struck off the list of voters, they having parted with the freehold in right of which their names were on the register. Mr. COVENTRY said he did not feel authorised to strike off the names unless they were objected to. Mr. Sowerby produced the three deeds of conveyance, by which the freeholds were severally disposed of. Mr. COVENTRY did not think the deeds a sufficient au thority. He considered that Ile was bound to require some autl:ority under the hand of the parties themselves, unless they had been served with notices of objection. Mr. Adey said that the parties had been objected to. The overseer had been served with the notice, but the No ble Lords had not been served personally ; they had, how ever, been served through the post, and as he knew they had disposed of their freehold interest, he thought that would be sufficient. Mr. Sowerby said he was authorised by the three Noble Lords to attend for the purpose of having the names struck out. Mr. COVENTRY said that under all the circumstances he thcught he was justified in striking out the names. The names were accordingly struck out. Mr. Sowerby said that Lord William Russell and Lord Edward Russell not having as yet parted with their free hoA interest, were desirous of retaining their franchise. Mr. COVENTRY said that there had been no objection made to them, and their names would be retained as a mat ter of course. No case of much interest came before Mr. Tamlyn, The following is the result of yesterday's revision : ST. GILES'S-IN-THE-FIELDS. Overseers. Reformers. Tories. Objections Sustained . i lO l5 ST.

James Byers and John Byers, brothers, claimed to be insetted in the list of voters for the Prince's Liberty, they beta; partners, and paying the rent and taxes of their pre mises punctually. The Overseer said that only James Byers was rated in the parish books. Mr. James Byers said that the name of his brother as well as his own was on their carts. The BARRISTER, however, held that in order to entide parties to be on the registry, they must be rated. lie therefore allowed the claim of James Byers, and disallowed that of John Byers. No other case of the slightest interest came before the Barrister. (Before Mr. BRETT.) ST. MARY, NEWINGTON.—There were 25 claimants in this parish. The Barristers went through the lists generally, reserv ing one or two cases for to-morrow (this day), when the 1 sts for the registration of this borough will be concluded. There is an increase in the number of voters for this bo rough of nearly 1,000, as compared with the last registry. The increase is as follows Parish of Lambeth Parish of Newington 162 Parish of Camberwell .. Total .. Number of voters on last year's registry 7,040 Total The Barristers rose at four o'clock. WEST KENT. Yesterday the Revising Barristers held Courts at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, for the purpose of revising the lists for Lewisha►n, Lee, Crayford, East Wickham, and St. Paul, and St. Nicholas, Deptford. (Bafore Mr. TYNDALE.) Mr. TYNDALE, on entering the Court, decided that he could amend the qualification of Mr. Crickett, of Black heath-park, whose case was argued on the previous day, from " leaseholder" to occupier, which he accordingly did, and that gentleman's name was retained on the list. The Revising Barrister also stated that he should not insist on proof of the due execution of deeds unless some strong grounds were shown to lead to the inference that fraud or collusion had taken place. LEWISHAM—THE CORN-MILL AT LEWISHAM BRIDGE. Mr. John Angus, a member of the Society of Friends, was objected to by the Conservatives. The claimant affirmed that he held a leasehold mill at Lewisham-bridge. The lease was granted to his brother Nathaniel Angus, now deceased, from Sarah Holmes, for 21 years, at the annual rent of 801. Claimant came to it as heir-at-law, and had expended upwards of 6001. in im provements. The property, he considered, would let for 2001. per year.—Name retained. The names of Mr. Grote (the Member for the City) and his partner, Mr. Prescott, were severally claimed in respect of a moiety of a freehold field, in Perryhill, Syden ham, were next objected to by the Conservatives. Without success. (Before Mr. BOSANQUET.) The claim of Richard Aldridge was objected to by the Conservatives. It appeared that the claimant had held the situation of Clerk to the Independent Chapel in High-street, Deptford, for the last forty years ; that the building was freehold, and the rents and profits arising from it were directed under the will of a Mr. Wingrove to be paid to the clerk and the minister for the time being. The claimant was appointed by the congregation, and could not be removed unless he misconducted himself. The Court admitted the claim. Mr. E. G. Barnard, the Liberal Member for the borough of Greenwich, claimed to vote as a " Trustee of the meet ing-house called the Independent Congregational Meeting house," in Deptford. His claim was opposed by Mr. Sandom, and supported by Mr. Holmes. Mr. Holmes said the Hon. Member was not present, but if the Court would take the case of Mr. John Wade, a co trustee, the question would be settled. Mr. Wade was then sworn, and stated that he and seven others were Trustees of the chapel in question, and that they received the pew-rents, and expended them, without being accountable to any person. The capital value of the building was between 2,0001. an' 3,0001., and of the an nual value of 1501. The trust deed was then put in, and it appeared that it had not been enrolled. Mr. Sandom cited several authorities, and read clauses from the 9th Geo. 11., c. 36, to show that it was necessary that a deed for charitable uses should be enrolled in the Court of Chancery to constitute it a valid document. The names were all expunged. STORIES OF SPANISH LIEE: EDITED BY LIEUT. COLONEL CRAUFURD.—In the introduction to this most interesting work the author says, " I really trust the pre sent attempt may serve some better purpose than that of mere transient entertainment —my intention is to represent realities. The persons, characters, and manners—the opi nions—the passions, which I represent to the reader, are those which I have myself known and seen in Spain. Of the adventures, I was either a❑ eye-witness myself, or the cir cumstances of them were related to me by those who took part in them ; and I am not without hope that these sketches may contribute, with sonle rerders at least, to mo dify their opinions upon Spain, and the Spanish people." This work is undoubtedly deserving of great attention, par ticularly at the present moment. A public meeting is to be held in Birmingham on Wednesday next to receive a report from a Committee of Merchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, &c., respecting the al leged general distress, difficulty, and embarrassment of the commercial classes. Persons of all parties have signed the requisition to the High Bailiff to convene this meeting. CO WES.-FRIT.

The admission to the boxes and stalls was raised to four times the usual price. Yesterday morning between ten and eleven o'clock, a boy was sent to sweep the chimney in the house occupied by Mr. Draper, in Portland-street, Oxford-street ; the little fellow, on arriving at the top, was rattling his brush in the chimney pot, when it suddenly gave way, and the poor boy was precipitated into the yard beneath ; he was immediately taken up, and conveyed to the hospital, where it was ascertained that his scull was fractured, be sides sustaining other severe injuries, and he at present lies without the slightest hope of recovery. Yesterday morning, between nine and ten, a serious accident occurred in the Edgware-road to Col. Trollope. He had left Kilburn for town in a four-wheeled phaeton, accompanied by his groom ; they had not proceeded far before the horses became restive and almost unmanageable Colonel Trollope, who was driving, gave the reins to the groom, and leaped out of the phaeton, and unfortunately fell on his right shoulder, which was dislocated. The groom kept his seat, and succeeded in arresting the horses' speed without further mischief. THE NEW HOUSE'S OF PARLIAMENT.—Active preparations have for some days past been making for the immediate commencement of the new embankment wall of the new houses of Parliament, which, as the buildings are to be carried up flush with the water line, will require to be a work of great strength and solidity. The garden belonging to the dismantled residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons, and that known as Cotton garden, the cleared space where the star-chamber stood, and that till lately occupied by Government rookeries from Westminster-hall to the bridge, are blow partly co vered with workshops and sawpits, and the open space is crowded with timbers, which a number of sawyers, car penters, and other artisans, are busy at work upon, fitting them for the purposes of forming a vast coffer dam within which a solid broad foundation may be built for the in tended wall. The erection of the coffer dam was com menced yesterday, when much interest was attracted by the number of workmen employed in driving a double row of piles, the nearest row being at a parallel distance in the river of about fifty yards from the existing embankment wall. The rows of piles are distant about five yards from each other, and will enclose a space extending from the pier of the third Middlesex arch to the extremity of the intended length of the embankment wall, and includ ing a space of about twenty yards on the northern side of the bridge. Three of the arches ou the Middlesex end will thus be blocked up, of which due notice has been given by the Lord Mayor, whose permission, as Conservator of the Thames, it was necessary to obtain. Five barges, each with one of those lofty machines on board, popularly known as " monkeys," for driving piles, were yesterday being con stantly worked by gangs of labourers. A ballast heaving barge, worked by a steam-engine, is employed in clearing the line where the piles are to be placed from the accumu lated mud er• '• ' • ADELPHL The Last night this theatre opened for the season. house was full—indeed we might say, crowded ; but in the early . part of the evenin g the re was such a noise an d bust ee that it was difficult to hear with any distinctness. Th, first piece perform e d was a d rama ti c version of Mr. Lovers well-known Rory O'J/ore, which adheres closely to th e original, is full of stir, and bustle, and vivacity, and a-as well rep: esented in all its parts. Power was of course the hero, and never did we see this consummate delineator of Irish character to greater advantage. The stir which he alone makes throughout the piece would almost be of ficient to carry the drama through without the interest at taching to the other characters. Mr. Yates performed. the French smuggler, De Wel s k e in, and dressed, look, spoke, and gesticulated the character admirably, His performan ce _ of this part was, in its way, quite as great a treat as Oa' u;' Power, and kept the house in a roar of laughter. M rs ; Yates played the part of fair Kathleen (the betrothed of Rory), and Miss Agnes Taylor (a very pleasing young lady, who made last night " her first appearance on any f stage") s ang in th e c h arac t er o f M a ry O'More, t wo o Lover's ballads, " The Land of the West," a nd " Th e Hour before Day." The former is a very superior COur position, distinguished by pathos, simplicity, and singular sweetness. Mr. Cathie was an excellent Colonel Thunder,' and Mr. Wilkinson a most amusing representative of Col ' lector Scrubby. The scene of the rising of the waters during the thunder-storm, in the ruins, was admirably 1334 ' raged. The piece was announced for repetition every even mg next week amid s t un an i mous plaudits, and Pow er was enthusiastically called for. Th e afterpicce (The Poc. at Book) was announced as " a domestic burletta of in tense interest." The three acts of which it c onsiste" might readily have b een con d ense d i n to two, as the last appears wire -drawn, and the denouement is *Pate t throughout.. Nev er th e l ess , th e i nc id ents (p ar ticularly in the first act) were of a very effective character, and afforded free scope for some excellent acting.
