TO CORRESPONDENTS. We cannot undertake to return rejected communica. tions. ..rs, , r , A ty Nz t :, • A 3,t4t; 1.1 'tact __,-.r -- LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1852. Radical Reformers must now be on the alert rvom one extremity to the other of the United Kingdom. They must keep a watchful eye upon the course pur sued by the present Ministry immediately upon. the assembling of the Imperiel Parliament. Hitherto the country hes continued almost uninterruptedly in. the dark as to the intentions of the DERBY Adminiitra tion. Indeed, time was requisite, in the first instance, to enable the new Cabinet to decide itself upon. the precise policy advisable in a Government so hastily formed and prematurely organized. Had the Earl of DERBY calculated beforehand upon the probability, or even upon the possibility, of his being Pilule Minis ter of England as early as last February, he would, doubtless, have been prepared to submit at once to bis colleague) a aeries of measures suitable to the emergency, if not a complete cut-and-dried scheme for carrying on the affairs of the British Empire. As it was, he was literally surprised into power—culled abruptly back to town by the commands of his SOVEREIGN, and complied to collect together the requisite number of statesmen within the limits of an anetiou3 and agitated fortnight. The Whigs had retired suddenly in a huff, A coolelees had sprung up between Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Viscount PALMERSTON. The latter had seen himself hurriedly, and even, we cannot but still think, most discourteously displaced at the Foreign -office by the Earl of GRANVILLE. Matters dragged on " much as ueuel " for a little time in the Lords and the Com mons, when, unexpectedly, a singl e bolt throws by the hand of the exiled CUPID cate:ed dismay end confusion into the Councils of the IV'lliStqrje.l JUPITER. The still dominant Premier found hineeelf stricken by the prompt and startling vengeance of the ex-Fureign Seen= tory. Scarcely bad the print era to the House of Commons struck off the first "proof" of the division-li3t upon the Militia Bill, when Lord JOHN announced to his colleagues his determination to resign, and that immediately. !The downfall of the Whig Cabinet, therefore, although confidently l oo k e d f orwar d t o a t th e time as speedily inevitable, was recognized upon all hande as at that instent an event entirely unanticipated. Surprised the nation was by the occurrence--eurprieed even was the majority of the Legislature—but her Meeestr must have been still more so by an incident which placed he r f or a while in some anxiety as to the consequences. Everybody recollects no doubt that the Royal summons was obliged to follow the Earl a DERBY from his town mansion to his residence in the country, whither he had gone onlya few . hou ti rs before, little dreaming o f w h at was "looming the shepe of h onours and responsibilities. Thereupon f at ure," in Th e reupon came the hutesinge to and f m the inquiries f,nd cross-inquiries, the propositions and the refusals, tile inter views at this moment with the Earl of ABERDEEN, and at that with the ex •Chanceller fact all those impro m pt u d elibera- LYNDHURST — in tions which ended at last in the announcement of a newly organized Government. Everything indicet,d the baste with which the whole arrangements were driven to a conclusion —nothing showing it more clearly than the circuinitance that the new Prime Minister was compelled, in order to carry into effect his unrehearsed enterprize, to crowd le 'thin a single Gazette the -unprecedented number of no less than eighteen fresh Privy Councillors ! After this, of course, the nation had to wait pa tiently until the DERBY Cabinet had decided upon the exact nature of the policy which et would be ne cessary for them sooner or later to submit to the ac ceptance of the Legislature. Several of the more eager spirits on the side of the Opposition grew restive under the delay, becoming noisy, and even to our thinking sometimes factious, in the expression of their 1 hostility upon the occasion (each snore irritating than its immediate predecessor) of every successive, but really, under the circumstances, unavoidable, postpone ment. Against this factious display of animosity we, for one, raised our voice from the very outset, and that, too, it may be remembered, rather frequently. We saw that it was unfair, under the pressure of so great an emergency. We saw that some procrastina tion was inevitable in order to enable her MAJESTY'S Ministers to arrange their order of tactics with any thing like decent deliberation. Occasionally we ob tained a tantalizing glimpse of the probable views of the Administration. We discovered at length that Pro tection was upon all sides at first virtually and at last praetically abandoned. We perceived clearly enough that the Earl of DERBY and his colleagues were not very long before arriving at the conclusion that the Free-trade system was one in all respects thence. forth inviolable. Added to this there were promises thrown out at intervals by the Cabinet of intended reforms, some of them of considerable importance, in preparation. Mr. DISRAELI gave us the hope of large and beneficial changes in the scheme of taxation. Mr. WALPOLE intimated pretty plainly that the Mi litia might in some measure become in a Reamer popularized. Lord Jour; MANNERS revived our wishes of something really resembling a wholesome effort at sanitary improvements. Lord St. LEo• NARDS opened up the prospect of sweeping innovations in the practices of the Court of Chancery, innovations such as might have saved the lives of a dozen GRIDLEYS and the in tellects of more than one Miss FLITE, making per petual Christmas on the hearth of Bleak House, ere rying perrenial joy into the Growlery, and even guarding from the east wind our good, honest, sensi tive, benevolent, "Cousin JARNDYCE." Under these auspices, Ministers went to the country immediately upon the dissolution of Parliament—and still under these auspices, they will in a few days present them selves before the newly-elected representatives. At such a crisis, it behoves the Radical Reformers throughout the United Kingdom—we repeat it ad visedly—to keep a watchful eye upon the course pur sued by the Administration. At such a crisis, more over, every straw thrown into the air—even though it be thrown up by the heels of a devourer of thistles— ' becomes an object of curiosity, and in some sort also, it may be at times, a matter of importance. Two or three of these straws have been fluttering within the last few days in the political atmosphere, and show, we fancy, clearly enough in what quarter the evind blows. There was the annual meeting of the Agri cultural Association held on Friday last, at Lough borough. There was the dinner given at the Bull's Head, after the morning's inspection of the show, with Mr. PACILE as chairman, and we don't know who as croupier. There were the speeches when the cloth was whisked away by the Ganymedes at half-a crown a-head, in pumps and white neckcloths. Above all, there was the oration delivered to the assembled farmers by the Marquis of GRANBY, in his capacity as body-stretcher to Protection. " Close up its eyes, tie up its chin ;" as the Poet Laureate says of the old year. " Call for Shillibeer, and let them carry it out, and bury it decently." The thing is dead—there is no mistake about it, any more than there was about the death of JACOB MARLEY—dead as a door-nail, or, as Mr. DICKEN'S suggests, "as a coffin• nail," as being, perhaps of all, decidedly the deadest ,article of iron mongery. Yes ! the thing is dead, and the Marquis of GRANBY probably feeling himself called upon for a song—rises gravely in the presence of the dessert, and solemnly chaunts the De Profundis. A gentleman, benevolently disposed, called BENET, rose, we cannot hut think, some what humanely after this rather unconvivial per formance, and endeavoured by his jocularity to dissi pate the influence of the dirge. After drawing a humorous picture of the so-called sufferings of the landed proprietors when contrasted with those of the middle-class agriculturists, he added that " he thought, however, they had now passed the worst, end in any case his advice to the tenant farmers was not to look back." Mr. FARNHAM had previously expressed a hope that he should not be regarded as too sanguine in congratulating the agricultural interests on the lat 3 harvest, and upon their brightening prospects. The truth is, the sticklers for Protection are trying to put a decent face upon its abandonment, and are fixing their attention more sedulously than has been hitherto their wont upon those visions of improve ment which are already " looming in the future," ac cording to the assurance of the Right Hon. Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Among these on-coming changes for the better, even the Marquis of GRANBY perceives the speedy and inevitablediscontinu ance of the Income-tax—of all taxes the most unjust and the most unpopular. While our friends the agri culturists are thus perking up their hopes by way of anticipation, surely the Radical Reformers should not just now be looking onward with a a glance of indifference. It is advisable, on the contrary, that we should now begin to watch with eager and unwink ing vigilance the nature of the policy about to be disclosed by the leaders of the present Government. We are very marvellously mistaken, or we shall be enabled to obtain more from them in six months than we were enabled to obte;n (luting six long yer-s of Whig Administration. At any rah—nous werrons— a brief interval will now solve the mystery of 'he Cabinet : and Wateb," is our advice, in one word, to the great mass of Liberals or Radical Reformers. A few years ago Lord BROUGHAM died by report. His Lordship's carriage wheel broke, and his Lord ship's head shared the same fate. It was evening when the z amour arrived ; next morning all the papers were filled with Brougham panegyrics. The journal which had but recently lashed him unmerci fully, with English good feeling spoke as kindly as the rest. Lord BROUGHAM enjoyed the unusual good fortune to read his own funeral orations in his lifetime, and they were flattering ones. Not so will it should the defunct Convocation retura to life. With but few exceptions, it would find itself denounced in no measured terms. Its harmless ghost, at its yearly app3arance, has been annually smiled at as the image from a magic lantern; but the very rumour of re storing that ghost to ecclesiastical life hel celled forth as many anathemas, as the rumour of Lord BROUGHAM'S death called forth encomiums. Ana themas we should think almost sufficient to lay the poor harmless ghost for ever—certainly sufficient to deter it from attempting to live again on this ungi ate ful earth. We believe Lord DEany is thankful enough for all this hubbub about Convocation. That he ever wished to advise her MAJESTY to set that body to work, or rather to hilt, again, nothing but his own assertion I will persuade us. Hence, we feel assured that be is as pleased as the majority of Englishmen are, to se it ness the nearly universal reprobation with which the very mention of the project has been received by the press. The reputed Tory organ of the Govel ament denies that any such advice was ever tendered, or even thought of lay Lord DERBY ; and repeats the denial, attributing the origin of the rumour to a Stock-Exchange wager. Another journal, a Liberal one, resells that the Prime Minister and his colleagaes have nearly come to the determination to offer the deprecated advice, but that they have not yet dared to do so, and that it is known to bs offensive at Court. The great oracle does little more than expose and denounce the folly and impossibility of the thing. For ourselves, we pretend to the knowledge of no Cabinet secrets; we only presume that Lord DEB BY is guided chiefly by English common sense, applied to his own political position. He may have a lean ing to the High. Church party, for he broke with the Whigs on the Appropriation Clause, and his appoint ments look that way. The much-to-be-regretted tam pering with the Educational Minutes, points rlso in the same direction. But whether he himself be a High Cnurchman or not, it is clear that he may re naturally deem it his political interest to court that party, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL deemed it his interest to court the opposite party. His accession to power was welcomed by that section of the Church ; he 1 1 done thei r b es t f or him at the elections ; they t con y fe h r a re v i e upon him the honour of the Chancellorship of Oxford; and with all these indications of willingness to render him cordial support, and all these favours to repay, it is natural he should wish to do all in his power to retain their support. Now we all know how strenu ously the High Church party desire se lf- government ; they have openly claimed it ; they tried to introduce it to the notice of Parliament ; they have even sum moned abortive Diocesan Synods, having the esrsect-, and the aspect only, of real Ecclesiastical Councils- Nothing, assuredly, would more rejoice the hearts of the impetuous H. EXETER, and the more smooth tongued S. OXFORD, than to see themselves prominent debaters in an Upper House of Convocation, with their faithful proctors in fall cry in the House below. But no, your Lordship, it must not E?. Mr. A. G. DENISON, it must not be. Lord DERBY will be very urbane to you,—he is a gentleman and a politician, and will not affront his supporters ; but he is a states man also, and he will not complicate public business, increase his Parliamentary difficulties, and endanger the Church, by allowing you to meet in Convocation. If your request should come before the QUEEN, the advised reply of her MAJESTY will certainly be, not, La Reine le sent, but La Reine s'avisera. We have not ourselves noticed the matter before. Our contemporaries all seemed to think more seri ously of it than we did, and possibly they were right. If they were so, however, we frankly confess that it will lower very much, indeed, our estimate of Lord DERBY'S statesmanship. Much as we of course dif fer from him, we have never doubted his sincere at tachment to our Constitution, as it stands, in Church and State. Now, we certainly hold that to resusci tate a body which was interred so long ago as 1717, and to convert the annual formality into a reality, would be tantamount to creating another estate. An estate too, holding the purse-strings of an income equal, taking all things into account, to nearly half the sum raised by the nation for civil and military purposes! Such an iseyerium in imperio, no sere Minister would or could endure. No; the Convoca tion zealots have now begird the plain truth told them, that if they wish to be self-governed they must also be self-supported. If they want this privilege of the Voluntaries, they must make the sacrifices of the Voluntaries. National property and national con trol must go together. It hes done so ever since the Reformation, and while the nationally-endowed Church of England stands, they must continue to go together. We believe, however, that not only the Court, as is generally rumoured, but the large majority of the clergy, and most certainly of the laity, are utterly op posed to the revival of Convocation. They all know enough of its history, from the Reformation to the reign of Queen Anne, to relish the restoration of such scenes of theological pugilism. They remember that amongst its dying speeches were bitter things against the very worthy Bishop HEADLEY, and an express denial that religious liberty teas a civil right! Indications in plenty appear, that now, as of old, it would be a polemical, pugnacious, and intractable body. The two great parties who now divide the Church would contend with the bitterest exasperation. Their common faith would be scandalized in the eyes of the whole nation ; and could either of them be suffered to have their way,—were the Evangelicals allowed to revise the Liturgy, or the Tractarians to expurgate the inconvenient Articles, then, of course, must come the secession, after which the State Church would quickly cease to exist. All moderate men, and real friends to the Church, perfectly corn • prebend this ; and they, luckily for the bigots, will prevent their committing ecclesiastical suicide. We have indeed observed, as a general thing, that of all assemblies, none are less capable of regular business, none more given to endless debate, than meetings of clergymen. Whoever hes had the _misfortune to be one of any committee in which ministers of any de nomination predominated, must have painfully felt how impossible it was to get on with work. Their professional avocations habituate them rather to dic tation than discussion, to defend every shade of opinion where none can contradict them, rather than to modify their views by conference with their equals. Had we to devise a convocation of persons likely to advise any really useful reforms, we should certainly expect more from an assembly of pious and intelligent laymen than from one of clergymen. It is, we be lieve, however, happily needless now to protract our remarks, and to reiterate half the objections which might be made against what will never be attempted ; and what probably had never any existence except in the imaginations and hopes of a zealous knot of eccle siastics. The Morning Herald, indeed, professes to give the whole history of the plot, and denounces it on behalf of Lord DERBY as a reckless endangering of his position. Whatever the origin of a report so con venient for those who wanted something to write about, we can only repeat ov- conviction that the Premier himself is guiltless of its fatherhocl. ABOLITION OF WRITS OF INQUIRY.—There is a provision in the Common Law Proccdure Act which will go far towards the abolition of writs of inquiry in the superior c ousts. 'Ethel; 3it was necuoary in a number of actions to execute writs of inquiry, which, es a matter of course, in cre-,ed the expense of the procez3ings. Under the new Act however, judgment can be obtained ear the issuing of the where the wilt is apcially endorsed, showing the amount be rt ?overed. Acairding to the 94th section of the statute, whenever the damages to re - :over money or a liquidated demand can be ruluced to a matter of calcula tion, they are to be ascai,ained before one of the Masters, by virtue of which authority wits of inquiry will not be re quired. LONDON AND PROVINCIAL JOINT STOCK LIFE INSURANCE COXPANY.—The sixth army' general meeting of the shareholders was held, yesterday, at the offices of the company, 17, Gracechurch-street—Mr. J. Jones in the chair. The report and accounts having been read by the Secretary, were, on the motion of the Chairmen, scnondci by Capt. T. Smith, and adopted nnanimou-ly. The vacancies in the dirt ration were filled up, and the meeting then sepavated. THE CITY CHARlTlES.—Yesterday, the Lord Chief Baron, with Aldermen Chellie, Sidney, Lawrence, and Wire, held a court of investigation into the administration of City cha•itiee. The clerk of the Leather-selle:.i' Company was called, and proved that the company bad to administer Robert Rogers' charity, amounting to 2001, and to pay 41. a year to poor prisoners in the City. The company had not done so. Since 1825 no payments had been made to such prisoners, except on special applicatior. The charity VAS in Chancery. The company so admiristered a charity cailed George Humble's caatity, the interest of which was 8/. a year. This Charity wro also in the Court of Chancery. Since 1835 no pat;; of the interest arising from the charity had been paid to poor prisoners (the objects of the charity), except in 1842, when 31. was paid to a freeman who had made a venial application. He had not been able to examine the state of the accounts P 9 between the company and the charity, nor had they been made up since 1835. Monies had been paid to the keepers of the pri , :ous and pardculer applicants, but he could not say how much. He had not the books of the company with him. The company was ready to pay up any arrests that might be due to the charity. There wrs a charity administered by the company called Garner's Charity. That chatty was also in Chancery. By a scheme made by the Master, one-third of the annual proceeds was to go to poor pr;,:mers, but that had ; not bee. a done. The rczipients of the third were widows,' but he could not give their names. The court thought this a very strange and unsatisfactory statement, and passed on to the management of the Mercers' Company, which appeared to be of a much more favourable character. TUE FALLEN HOUSES AT BAYSWATER.--We have received the follouing further particulars respecting the horses, which, P 9 we mentioned yesterday, fell at an early hour on Sunday morning in that neighbourhood. A far ther portion of the outer wall came down with a tre mendous crash at two o'clock on Sunday e'Lernoon, when a boy who was paging from out of the vestry of the adjoining church into the horse of the Rev. Dr. Magee, had a narrow escape of his life ; large portions of th e b r i c k work falling down just behind him as he entered the door. A further portion fell yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, including a large portion of the third house, and almost all the timber-work of the interior. Consequently, now there is only a mere shell standing, and the downfall of this portion is hourly expeate I : in its present stag it's ex ceedingly dangerous to the passers by. We find, upon inquiry, that the horses in question do not belong to Mr. Watts, of the Edgware-road, as we stated yesterday, but to a poor man named Wheeler, who was erecting them as his first speculation in house-building, conjointly with his sister, who keeps a small cook-shop in the neighbourhood. The loss is estimated at nearly 4001., and it is feared that the speculation will prove ruinous to the builder. It is Row clear that, in addition to the foundations being faulty, the houses were built without any tie-beams, and that toe outer well of the furthest house was not perpendicular, and that in addition to these defects the mortar used in the construction of the build ing had ho gravel or lime mixed with it, but was made of common mud. It is surely time that some official authority interposed to regulate these matters, as the lives of her Majesty's subjects ought not to be endangered for the sake of house-building speculators, as they too often are, from the rapidity and carelessness with which houses are run up in the suburbs of town. two,DA Y BLRBAROITS INFANTICIDE.—BATINSTAPLE, SATUR• the young last t woman, day or — be O eb ur s u b s o n cl l e ly d q by uie named Eliza Boucher, a servant, in the emp i oy of Mr. W. t t he t3V ;U a nl h o aS Ul: w th it a h t in a Wadham Hill, hairdresser ani perrumer, of High-street, bad been delivered of an illegitimate child, which she had afterwards destroyed by burning in the washhonse fur nace. It appears that her condition was suspected by her mistress, who taxed her with being enceinte, but the young woman stoutly denied such an imputation. Discoveries were made, however, which left no doubt of her confine ment having taken place, whereupon she was again quec. Coned as to her cond uc t. Sh e t h en admitted that she had been confine I, and stated that she had thrown the child into the river. Subsequently, however, she said she had buried it in the ashpit. and, as if to give a plalAbility to her story, she commenced digging herself, as if to bring it out. At length, however, all attempts to conceal the truth failed, and she confessed that she had but at the infant in the washhou , :e futaace, where she had kindled a large fire early on the washing morning.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx, The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 Amek:can were taken for export, 2,500 American end 500 Egyptian on speculation. The market closed with a hardening tendency, and all kinds of American end Surat were a shade dearer. The sales comprised 10,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranhana at 61d to 711, 30 Bahia at ql to 7d, 1,200 Egyptian at qd to 13id, and 500 Surat at 4fl to sid. Railway Shares were firm. There are two vessels in from Australia, one with dates of June 15 from Sydney, another June 12 from Port Philip. The dates are not later, but there are a few intermediate items. The news read out of the accession to power of Lord Derby and his col leagues, excited much interest and surprise. There is gold on board the Ganges, but the amount is not ascertained. Upon gold mining in the northern districts, the writer of one Sydney circular remarks : " Near the spot where Dr. Kerr's hundred-weight of gold was found, a water-worn pump was taken out by two men working Mr. Want's claim, weighing 157 ounces, and another weighing 71 ounces was obtained from Mr. Gideon Lang's claim; the latter is reported to have been a splendid specimen, mixed with white, red, and black quartz ; it was unfortunately broken up to ascertain its value. At the Dirt Hole and Tam baroora Creek, 14/, worth of gold per man per week is not considered at all an uncommon circumstance, whilst a " lucky party " will earn from 28/, to 381.; and ne man is thought to be doing well who earns less than 11. per day, while 255. to 31. is gene rally procured. The gold in this neighbourhood is found in pipeclay, to which the diggers usually sink before they commence washing, and then tunnel in preference to throwing off the top soil. Water is still scarce at these diggings. At a short distance from the Green Valley, a party of three were making with a tin dish, 3oz of gold per day, but this was not enough, while they heard that more prolific yields wore being obtained at Mount Alexander; they therefore left for that locality. Another party of thre3 made 251, worth each in three days. Many think that a large mining population would find this neighbourhood and the banks of the Mac quarie to repay them well for the labour expended. Our Northern Mines continue to improve. A party of five having obtained at the Hanging Rock an average of 16i ounces per week for ten weeks, and their earn ings during the week previous to this report were over six ounces per day, whilst some have done even better — six to nine ounces to a party per day are not uncom mon; and three miners took out eight ounces in less than ten minutes. It appears that the gold in this dis trict lies deep, and the rich deposits have not hitherto been found, from the diggers not going low enough down. The trial of Sir Thomas Mitchell's Bomareng pro peller seems to have proved very successful. The description given is very interesting:— " Sir Thomas Mitchell's invention of the Bomareng propeller, as applied for the purpose of propelling a ves sel through the water, was tried on Saturday, and the result, we are happy to say, has exceeded all expectations. By the permission of Messrs. Smith & Croft, the owners of the Keera screw steamer, an iron bomareeg propeller, formed as nearly to the required proportions us the peculiarities of the vessel would permit, was fitted to the Keere, when on the Patent Slip during the last two or three days. Sir Thomas Mitchell'a rule for the construction of the Bomareng Propeller depend on its having a diameter equal to the pitch. The diameti rof the screw of the Beers is only 5 feat 8 inches, and the pitch is 8 feet, so that the propeller fitted to her necess arily differed materially from what it should be to give it a fair and complete trial. However, under every dis advantage, the experiment has met with complete suc cess, and we heartily congratulate the investor of this triumph of skill and perseverance, honour able to himself and to the Colony at large. The Keers , left the w h ar f a dj o i n i ng the Patent Slip, at two o clock, on this trial trip, and proceeded to North Harbour. Sir Thomas Mitchell, Messrs. Smith and Croft, and a considerable number of influential and in telligent gentlemen were on board to witness the result. We fear we cann o t g i ve our readers, who may be engineers, such an account as may satisfy professional men ; but we can state results: —" When the Keera started from the patent slip we perceived not a ripple under . her stern ; but w h en s h e got i nto full speed, it was evident that she was impelled by a new kind of pro peller, from the tranquil appearance of the water astern, the curl at the bow, and increased speed—so much so, that a friend of ours, who observed her from Woolloo mooloo, inquired what was the matter with the Keera that she had set off like a race-horse. " The distances given in an almanack of Baker's, ena bled us to keep a reckoning of the speed, and in running, from Blue's Point to Pinohegut, she took 6m. 103., de ducting 4m. 20s. for stoppages, during which she took parties must have iinn b r g e retarded rda distance edthe re main d on e rnfbtonaartd. part a r As t of f this the run to given as 2117 yards, her rats then may be fairly com tpnuet ed same t diskt a n n o c t ah i n n 5 o . In minutes, w returning, hen she steaming got o n over the expansive principle, which rate gives rather more than 12 knots an hour." Large vessels, it is said, may attain a speed of 20 miles an hour when the propeller is properly fitted. There is not any intelligence of interest from the Continent, except the important news from Constan tinople of the repudiation of the Turkish Loan, and the intention to raise it at home. Such a sensation hes not been excited for years, and the character of all parties concerned, including the contractors, Prince Kallimachi, the Agent of the Bank, and the Ottoman Porte, is damaged until; full explanations are given. The payment of the next instalment is deferred, and there has been a talk tof repudiating the bargain en tercl into. This, we presume, can hardly be done, though there may be god ground of action against the contractors for premiums paid by those who now hold the Stock.

Oft Shakspere's Henry Me FifiJ was produced last even ing. play as edited by Mr. Ph e lp s , h as b een subjected to considerable reduction, yet it moves somewhat heavily. As a spectacle, hoi rover, it is highly brilliant. The siege of Liarfleur ig the bird act, with all its war like accessories, had a peculiarly admirable effect. The general performance was worthy of the peculiar reputa tion of the theatre, Care at id intelligence were the characteristics of the iotlrior elation. Mr. Phelps de livered the speeches of the amiable, chivalric monarch with his accustomed ability ; and in all those passages in which Macready was wont . to create a sensation—such as the speech before the battle of Agincourt, and the bluff, open-hearted address to Katherine —his frank, manly tone was quite in accordance with the spirit of the character, sna suffered lilt le by comparison with his great contemporary. The fine monologues of the .c Chorus" were bestowed on Mr. H. Marston, who, ha bited as Time, ,recited his pr emonition s w i th due and emphatic solemnity. The , house was completely •rowded.
