, TE GENERAL ORDER FROM THE HORSE GUARDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN SIR--I observe that an older has been recently is. sued from the Horse-Guards, professing, " with the View to do the fullest justice to individuals who may h ave distinguished themselves in action with the "flenly;" but as the wording of this mark of his Ma j esty's gracious favour has been probably left to some underling who has never been in action with the nave, and consequent l y, i f not jealous of those who nave, can certainly have no sympathy with them I.bermit me to draw your attention to it, in order that _Each an egreg i ous absurdity as therein appears may, f bypubli c it y , reach the authority that has the power to revise it, and have it so express A, as to give effect to what is doubtless the Royal will and pleasure. In enumerating the particulars, which the account 'directed to be made by Mr. Cannon shall contain, you will perceive that one most essential Return is wholly omitted, for, in reference to officers, a statement of the names of those only tvho have received medals, j&c. , is to be made, " with the view to do the fullest ustice tr, individuals !" par example—those very in dividual s having already had the interest to get ho nours Heaped upon them for their services ; while the ( "col:s who have not been so noticed, and for whose B Pee ial and distinguished bravery division or general ord ztrs can testify (poor devils ! their sole regard), are sb ut out from the possibility of being included in, and 010taining the tardy act o f j ust i ce w h ic h t hi s or d er pro lesses to confer ; and this is the more palpable as it calls for the names all such non-commissioned 91= Seers and privates who may have especially signalized themselves in action. den will not 'believe that thi s p rocee d s f rom t h e acci "'ltal. error of the word "officers" before " non-corn 111issioned officers and privates" b e i ng om itt e d, as this 'alsidious crafty subversion of the Royal will has before occurred in an o th er b oon , pro f ess i ng to rewar d t n'2 old and meritorious Lieutenants who may have B ' , lved during the war, but which has been unjustly applied to gentlemen who have been kicking their heels at watering-places, but have luckily been borne O n the strength of the country for some 15 or 18 Years of peace ; while the old subalt erns , w h o h ave ser ved during 10 or 12 y ears o f ac ti ve war , b ut w h o h ave unfortunately been shelved by reduction, or in ' n dignation, have pitched their exclusive honours and service to the devil—these men, I say, are not con -Bidered entitled to the notice which the spirit of the order implies. The Military Secretary is too old and too good a soldier knowingly to sanction such a scandalous eva aion of purpose ; nay more, to be so unfaithful a ser vant to his Royal Master as•to attempt to render his t aiesty unpopular, by meanly counteracting the jus te he would mete, and the impartial favours he Wo uld A bestow. "Werville, Oct. 1835. IZ. M. N. P i UBLIC MEETING AT LIMERICK. POOR LAWS-MR. O'CONNELL. On Wednesday a public meeticg was held for the pur t°se of taking into consideration the necessity of a Poor Law for this country. The room was crowded to excess. Mr. O'Connell entered at two o'clock, accompanied by Our City Representatives, and his appearance was greeted with th e loudest applause. The Ch a i rman , W ILLIAM R ocuE, Esq., M.P., stated t he object of the meeting. Mlttr which, lir. O ' CONNELL said he had come there to advocate a Provision for the poor. The present state of the poor in Ireland was terrible, not only to behold, but even to con template.—(Hear, hear.) He believed every one in that voWould do him the justice t o sa y th a t he was :.n ad it for the poor, and if he objected to the poor laws, Was because he had seen in England the finest feelings of t wo anity trampled under foot, in consequence of the evil w ° rking of the system by which a legal provision is offered I r , th at country to the poor.—(Hear, hear.) Though ther e may have been a great evil under the English system, he was ready to adopt one for Ireland, and to effect great good even at the risk of some evil.—(Hear, hear.) in !his neglected country the poor were thrown on th e Irious classes for relief la their wretchedness. He had a Poor law o f hi s own, a.e repeal of th e U n i on , an d if h e h a d ~ an Irish P ar li ament that would best know the wants of 'rug country and remedy it by the employment that would Inaturally result c.rom the bringing b ac k o f th e a b sentees, t h ere vould be no necess i ty o f a poor law then ; that measure (Rez Peal he had adjourned, in the hope of getting justice ll'om in °gland, brAt he was not at liberty t o a dj ourn t h e p eer l aw, as • t h e th e intf2rim many a widow a n d or ph an wotllid be added t o n uno. , ner of those who have hitherto died from hunger. eo u 111i 7.ch a st a t e o f thi ngs cou ld not stand any longer ; we f i e l not remain in our present position ; something ,st b e speedily done.--( Hear.) He had for a long time 4liberateci upon the systrAn of legal provision, and his pre sent plan was that the tax for such a purpose should fall ght on th e res id ent who gave employment. It should be l aced on the absentee who drew away the resources which Sho uld be expended here, and heaviest of all on those un feeling landed proprietors, who f or t h e i r own purposes 0 l eared their estates. He was sorry to say that in the list °PPressive landlords in Ireland, the county of Lime lee' occupied a conspi cuous p l ace , as seven - e i g h t h s, or at : t s t three-fourths were an i mate d b y fee li ngs of political r ed, and religious rancour against their neighbours. l et under Providence, and as a better state of things is 113 nt to take place, such a national disgrace must cease to .. 4 t. Let n o man ca l umn i ate hi m as an i nva d er of the i:Rhts of property—that he regarded as much as any man, 4 t what cared be if such men as Lord Limerick got no t ent ; so as the poor be prevented from dying of hunger t housands.—(H e ar, Y hear.) But he regarded the rights th P r operty as mu c h as any man , an d h e wou ld prov id e at those reduced to distress by their profligacy and idle s should not be a burthen to the rich.—(Hear, hear.) 1411 eh people of Ireland o f a ll o th er peop l e pre f erre d t o li ve their own labour ; the misfortune was, that no employ the e nt vvas had for them.—(Hear.) If this would take from rich, in a short time they would have no rich at all, and Poor country, of all other things, is the most despised 4 he would never consent to support the idle at the expense of the rich.—(Hear, and cheers.) His system th tit tld only embrace the sick, the aged, the infirm, and I t , °S e who cou ld get no emp l oyment for the l a b our t h ey o er e no to bestow—th e t ax f or th a t purpose s h ou ld o ole out o f t h e rents, and not be allowed to fall on the t ;: t P it Y i in on g tenant. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman Z n eluded by proposing that a committee be appointed and prepared to be presented at the commencement t he next session. He sat down amid loud cheers. e f 14 r• DAVID ROCHE sa id t h at h e f u ll y agree d i n t h e p l an n e P o or L aws l a id d own by Mr. O'Connell, as they would g e enly be a source of comfort to the poor, but of great be. to the agricultural portion of the community. ~eThe Rev.

The latest replies to the numerous •in quiries are, however, very favourable. The Duke of Sutherland's travelling equipage to the Continent consitleci of five carriages and a suite of twenty persons. his Grace has taken an hotel at Paris, for three months, near the residence of his noble relative the Earl of Carlisle. The Duke of Devonshire is expected also to proceed again to the French capital in a few days. The Duke of Devonshire remains at his seat, Hard wicke Hall, to which place he was accompanied by Lord and Lady Rivers. Mrs. L. Fox and her venerable father, Mr. Bulkeley, were expected kit week to join the party at Chatsworth, but Ik-Ord prevented by the sudden illness of Mr. Bulkeley. his Grace called at Longshaw Lodge, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, last week, where Colo nel Bulkeley and the Rev.

Lord Brougham left town on Thursday' for his de lightful villa at Richmond, which he now rents, but is de sirous to purchase. Lord Holland visited him on Friday, and returned to Holland House in the evening. DINNPIt TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—Such is the feeling of respect entertained by the Reformers of this city and its neighbourhood for the above patriotic Noble man, that the subscription list, necessarily restricted to four hundred, was completely filled up as early as Tuesday last—three weeks previous to the day fixed for the dinner. As admirers of political consistency we cannot but feel proud in announcing the above fact ; and it is our convic tion—arising from the numerous applications which have subsequently pressed upon the Committee—that if accom modation could by any possibility be procured for so many, instead of hundreds, thousands would be found to avail them selves of an opportunity of at once marking their attach ment to the principles of reform, and their veneration for the exalted individual to whose firmness in the advocacy of those principles the country is so much indebted. Among the distinguished and talented gentlemen expected to honour the dinner with their presence, we have much pleasure in announcing the name of the poet and patriot Thos. Moore, Esq.—Brlsiol Mercury. PASSENGERS To INDIA DURING THE PAST WEEK.—Per Hindostan, for Madras and Bengal : I'. H. Maddock, Esq., 8.C.5., Mrs. Howden, Miss Kyd, Captain Howden, M.

One of the upper doors of the wharf was suddenly blown out, and struck them slightly, but fortunately did them no further injury. Mr. Justice Torrens, one of the Irish Judges of Common Pleas, is seriously indisposed at his residence in Dublin. Captain Sir John Ross is at present at Hull, where he received the unfortunate tidings of the loss of the Isa bella whaler, in which vessel, it will be recollected, the Gallant Captain made his first Arctic voyage, and by which vessel also he was taken up at sea on his last voyage, after his dreary sojourn in the polar regions. Sir John Hobhouse has been on a visit to Paul Methuen, Esq., at his seat, Corsham Hall, Wiltshire. Among the visiters to Dunkeld this week, two re quire particular notice, viz., the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the venerable patriot and hero, Lord Lynedoch.

Arago, Professor of Astronomy at the Royal Observatory, has communicated to the Aca demy of Sciences new information relative to the physical constitution of the comet, which he has derived within these four days. In all previous observations on comets no irregularity had been noticed in the luminous circumference. Such is not the case with the present. A singnlar modifi cation has been remarked by M. Arago, assist;:d by a glass of considerable magnifyi ng p ower . On Thursday last, in the part opposite to the tail, this astronomer perceived a -., _ .1\ '.ern SUN, _LONDON,_ TLIVSDAV, OCTOBV,II, 27, 1835. luminous sector perfectly distinct—a circumstance of im portance, inasmuch as it decides a great question, viz., that of the rotation of comets upon themselves. The rotation of the planets was only discovered by the successive ap pearance of eettaiti spas id different parts of their disk. Comets having hitherto presented no irregularity suscep tible of being noted, it was impossible to arrive at conclu sions of the same nature. On Friday Halley's comet was again examined ; the luminous segment seen on the previous day was not visible. On Saturday, in another part of the comet, a much larger segment was seen, which might be confounded with the first. It had from 110 to 112 degrees of amplitude. On Sunday it had greatly diminished.— Paris Paper, of Friday. Mr. Haycraft has been dismissed by the County Magistrates from the office of Warder of the Castle, for taking money at the doors during the Assizes. The prac tice had been long winked at by the Bench—but hence forth there can be no mistake about the matter.— Western (Exeter) Times. We hope our new City Sheriffs, who yes terday commenced their first Old Bailey Sessions, will fol low this excellent example. Some apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the Gem yacht, with the Marquis of Waterford and Lord Beresford on board. It appears from the last accounts that Lord Beresford had sustained severe injury by a car riage running over his leg, which accident had put a stop to their further travels in the United States. The yacht had passed the Custom-house, bound on her return home for Waterford, some time previously to the last packet from New York sailing.

WOODEN PAVEMENTS.---We observe from the New York papers, that a trial is about to be made in that city of the plain paving with wood followed in St. Peters burgh, and repeatedly recommended by us for adoption in the more retired parts of our own metropolis. A part of the Broadway has been selected for the purpose. Each of the small blocks of wood is of hexagonal shape ; the whole are fitted together and driven up tightly by a long strip of timber near the gutter at the side ; and the interstices be tween the blocks to be well covered with tar or pitch.— Mechanics' Magazine. BARBARTIY BY THE CARLIST PARTY ! ! ! Some of Donna Isabella's troops, who have fallen into the hands of Don Carlos, have been hanged, and while hanging have been shot ; amongst the number who have thus suffered we understand were six Englishmen, and a native of this city, Mr. Boyle Travers.—Cork Herald. It has frequently been remarked by foreigners that in England there is more self-medication, more swallowing of pills and draughts, more compounding of jallap and senna, more quack medicines sold, than in all the rest of the civi lized world put together. A miner who worked at Wheal Gorland Mine, in the parish of Gwennap, named Joseph lichens, was killed on the 21st instant, by, it is supposed, a piece of rock which he had been blasting striking the stull which gave way ; he fell about fifteen feet and severely injured his head ; the deceased survived the accident but a short time.—!Vest Briton.

The following extracts from one of Lieutenant Burne's letters, dated on the Red Sea, will be read with interest by the admirers of the much abused Bruce : " I cannot quit Bruce without mentioning one fact which I have gathered here, and which ought to be known far and wide, in justice to the memory of a great and injured man, whose deeds I admired as a boy, and whose book is a true romance. Lord Valenfia calls Bruce's Voyage in the Red Sea " an episodical fiction," because he is wrong in the latitude of an island called " Macowar," which Bruce says he had visited. Now, this sea has just been surveyed for the first time, and there are two islands called Macowar, the one in lat. 23. 50. visited by Bruce, and the other in hit. '2O. 43. visited by Valentia ! Only think of this vindication of " Bruce's Memory." Major Head kneo it not when he wrote his life, and it is worth a thousand pages of defence." There have been no less than fifteen candidates in Devonport for the situation of sexton ; salary one pound per annum. We hear that the Bishop has taken the ap pointment into his own hands, and given the situation to Mr. Symons, one of the churchwardens.—Plymouth Journal. The great Chancery-lawyer, Trevor, among his other qualities, was a great lover of economy. He had dined by himself one day at the Rolls, and was drinking his wine, when his cousin Roderic was unexpectedly introduced by a side door. " You rascal !" exclaimed Trevor to the servant, " have you brought my cousin, Roderic Lloyd, Prothono tary of North Wales, Marshal to Baron Price, and a hun dred grand things, up my back stairs ? Take him instantly down my back stairs, and bring him up my front stairs." In vain Roderic remonstrated ; and while he was being conveyed down the back and up the front, his honour re moved the bottle and glasses.-IVanderings through North Wales. On Friday last a Coroner's inquest was held at the Holland Arms, Brixton-road, Kennington-common, on the body of J. H. Evans, Esq.. M.D., aged 22, who was found dead on Wednesday morning, after having gone to bed in perfect health. Mr. G. F. Whidborne, surgeon, of Re gent's-terrace, City-road, was immediately sent for, and on his arrival bled, and used every means for recovery, without effect ; his body was quite warm when the medical gentle. man arrived. On the following day Mr. Whidborne, in the presence of three others of the profession, made a pose mortem examination, when be found that the death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, pro ducing apoplexy. These facts were deposed to on the in quest, and a verdict accordingly was given by the jury. THE ANTI-SLA VERY SOCIETY.—This workshop of mischief seems, in defiance of the late overwhelming ex pression of public sentiment in the North, to be still resol ved on active operations. We learn from an authentic source that Mr. and Mrs. Child, whose intellectual gifts we lament to find prostituted in such a miserable and wicked service, have embarked for England, from Boston ; as agents of the Anti-Slavery Society, with a salary of 2,000 dollars per annum, and expenses paid. We again call on our Northern friends for State legislation—efficient and high penal legislation to put down these conspirators against the South and the Union.—Charleston Courier. A general court-martial assembled in the infantry barracks on Tuesday last, for the trial of an officer against whom there are a number of charges, some of them con nected with circumstances of a delicate nature. The case is still under deliberation, and is not expected to be decided for six or eight days. Major-General the Hon. William Stewart is President, and six field officers, eight captains, and a deputy-judge-advocate, form the Court.—Glasgow Chronicle. Few subjects connected with the Courts of Revision require revising more than the law which is supposed to govern them. The Southampton Registration has added a number of instances to numerous others in different parts of the kingdom, of conflicting decisions,—decisions not merely differing from the practice of other barristers, but differing from the Courts' own previous decisions ; judg ments being come to one day to be reversed the next, and legal subtleties refined upon till the claimant's vote was lost to establish a pedantic distinction.—Hampshire Ad vertiser. HOSPITALITY.—The late Dr. "I'hynne, so well known for his love of good eating, called one day to pay a visit to the eccentric Lord R----. He was shown into the dining room, where he found his Lordship alone, and engaged in the discussion of an exqui.ite little dinner. After talking for some time, " My Lord," said the Doctor, ex cited by the agreeable odour, " I think it would be no great stretch of hospitality were your Lordship to say, Doctor, pray do as lam doing.' " " Well, Doctor," said his Lord ship, " pray do as lam doing--go home and eat your own dinner." BRUSSELS, OCT. 23.—The principal topic of con versation at this moment is the failure of the banker Dc Haes. His accounts have not yet been wound up, but it is known that several families, amongst others those of the different branches of the Count D'Outremont, have lost immense sums, whilst others are completely ruined. The defaulter is said to have fled to England, but it is not known whether he has carried off any large sums, or whether he has lost them in recent speculations. This failure coming so shortly after that of Messrs. Coghels, Weliens, and Lc grelle, has caused great embarrassments amongst the mo neyed interests, and created a general want of confidence, and many fears as to other houses. This, however, has not quenched the universal thirst for speculating in new Companies. Independent of the Belgian Bank and Society of Commerce, whose shares continue pretty steady at 109 and 139, six different projects are before the public, the shares of which are all doing at a considerable premium. The greater part of these are collieries, which proves that she trade, notwithstandiiiff the complaint of a want oi be bouche on the side of Holland, must be in a flourishing state. Every exertion is now being mado by the Govern. frithii to complete the railway to Antwerp, so as to enable them to operi it to the public by the Ist of March. Mea sures will then be taken to Vfdceed with vigour upon the remaining sections. But one of the greatest drawbacks to the rapid progress of the undertaking is the want of a mffi dletit number of experienced engineers, and foremen cap a bl e of carrying on anti sup er i n tening the works at different points. Hitherto the engineers in chief have almost exclu sively performed this duty. The steam-boat destined to act as ferry between Antwerp and the Tete de Flandre will probably commence navigating in December. This will be of great service, and will facilitate the communica tions between the Flanders and Antwerp. The Official Gazette publishes a royal ordonnance establishing a system of organization for two schools of navigation at Antwerp and Ostend. Not only students for the royal and merchant marine, but other youths will be allowed to profit by the benefits of these institutions. For upwards of 50 years, wheat has not been known at so low a price as now in Liskeard market.—Plymouth Journal. The National says—" France lives under a pres sure of nearly 66,000 laws, made in 46 years, under ten different regimes." The price of gas in Manchester has been reduced from 10s. to 9s. per thousand cubic feet. The price in Li verpool is 10s. For three consecutive sessions for this county, and one assize intervening, not one criminal case has been sent from the borough of Sunderland, which contains nearly 50,000 inhabitants.—Sunderland Herald. `WEST-RIDING SESSIONS.—The Sessions com mence here on Wednesday. We believe the number of prisoners from Sheffield is smaller than has been known at the Michaelmas Sessions for several years.—Shelfield Independent. There is actually, we are told, a difference of nearly a hundred per cent. in the prices of bread at this time in the metropolis--the loaf which sells for 73-d. in some places, being only 4d. in others. The Carders have recommenced their atrocious prac tices in the county Roscommon, having dragged a poor farmer out of his bed at night in the parish of Killimul last week, and lacerated his naked back in a shocking manner. The important cause in which the Earl of Fife has been engaged for so many years is expected to be shortly determined. The lawsuit, also, of Sir Lumley Skeffington, which has been so long pending, is likewise reported as ad vancing to a termination. The rain has, as might have been expected, fairly made up for its long absence, a greater quantity having fallen during the last six weeks than within any similar pe riod for some years. During the whole of Sunday night the wind blew a perfect hurricane, accompanied by rain in torrents. AGED HORSE.--On the 21st inst., at Heyroyd House, near Coke, Lancashire, died a favourite old mare, the property of James Wilson, Esq., of that place, in the 43d year of her age ; the above useful animal has been in the possession of her late owner for near thirty-eight years, during which time she has been used for the several pur poses of hunting, gigging, as a hack, and for agricultural purposes.—Leeds Mercury. DSITRESSING ACCIDENT.-*A. poor woman, of the name of Lampen, aged 80, living in Willow -street, Plymouth, was found burnt to death in her room on Tues day evening. When a young woman who lived in the same house left her a short time before, she was sitting before the fire, but on her return she found her extended on the floor near the door-way, to which it is supposed she had ran on finding herself in flames.—Devonport Independent. DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.--The re publication, by Mr. Colburn, in shilling numbers, of the ce lebrated Memoirs of Napoleon by the Count de Las Cases, is a speculation which, like his " Modern Novelists," can not fail to be attended with the greatest success. M an y people (observes a distinguished critic of this work,) have written and made books about Buonaparte ; much of their contents must have been hearsay—much guess-work, and a still greater proportion, invention ; but, on the work of Count Las Cases, reliance—implicit reliance—may be placed. Buonaparte is therein represented to the life. Las Cases was his follower—his state councillor—his ama nuensis—his friend ; had mingled with his Court, had at tended him in his greatness, and shared the misfortunes of his fall. " The second number of the present cheap edition, to be published on Saturday next, will be illustrated with a Map of St. Helena, showing the residence of Napoleon, and other remarkable localities of the Island. PROLIFIC Sow.—We believe the following will beat any of the wondrous paragraphs of the Dumfries Cou rier for the last twelve months. A sow, the property of Mr. Alexander Milne, farmer, Cuterna, New Deer, is now two years five months old, and has had the following litters since she was seven and a half months of age. At the first litter, 13 pigs —second, 14—third, 17—fourth, 20 —and fifth 18—in all 82 pigs in a period of twenty-one and a half months ! She brought them all up herself, and they all throve marvellously !—,Aberdeon Observer. INCONVENIENCES OF A VISIT TO CALCUTTA. —•- Ladies especially suffer a great deal of inconvenience from their inability to understand others or to make themselves understood—and nothing can be more helpless than the situation of a married couple landing for the first time of their lives in Calcutta, and perplexed on all sides by the novelty and strangeness of their condition. Those who had letters of introduction which procured immediate invitations to houses well supplied with all the comforts and luxuries of life, were exempted from annoyances ; but all, even in the best days of Anglo-Indian hospitality and splendour, were not so fortunate. Hotels and boarding-houses, those refuges for the destitute in acquaintance though not in purse, did not exist, or were of too disreputable an order to afford a desirable shelter. An unfurnished mansion, or equally empty quarters in Fort William, or some other government edifice, received the strangers, who found them selves and their baggage suddenly put into a comfortless apartment ; and in the forlorn aspect of their abode, and the confused jargon of the native multitude crowding in upon the scene, could scarcely hope that time, patience, and assiduity, would ever bring comfort and order in their train. —Asiatic Journal. . . Yesterday afternoon, much alarm was excited in the family of James Lloyd, Esq., of Simixtdit, Pimlico, by its being discovered that Ellen Rivers, the upper housemaid, a young woman, between twenty-one and twenty-two years of age, bad attempted to destroy herself by cutting her throat with a penknife. It appears that the butler, in passing the back drawing-room door, observed a stream of dark fluid on the floor, which he imagined to be sitrde spilt portwine, but on a closer examination, discovered it to be bloods he then attempted to open the drawing-room door, but was resisted by something heavy lying against it ; with the assistance of the footman, the door wag at length opened, and the wretched young woman was discovered lying MI the floor weltering in her blood, which was still gushing from a wound across the front of her throat. The poor creature was insensible, and in her right hand was firmly grasped a penknife, with which the Incision had lifted efrkted. Mr. Dunbar, surgeon, was in immediate attendance, and ren dered every assistance in his power, and, notwithstanding the great loss of blood, strong hopes are entertained of her recovery. The cause of her attdrtititin# to destroy herself is her having been discovered to be pregnant. DESTRUCTION OF A CLOTHING MILL.—On Monday evening a fire broke out at Clare's Mill, Greet land. The fire originated on the east side of the mill ;it was soon discovered, and attempted to be put nut without success ; the pieces of cloth were immediately got out and as much property saved as possible. The mill soon became an entire mass of blaze ; the engines were set to play against that end of the mill where the steam engine belonging to the mill was, that end being the least burnt, in order to save it if possible, but the fire had got too great an ascend ancy to admit of that being done, and the flares were not entirely extinguished till the following afternoon, when there was nothing left of the building but part of the engine, en gine chimnies, and a small portion of the outer walls. There was a good supply of water, the reservoir belonging to the mill bei ng w i t hi n 30 yar d s . A person name d J on Maude fell from the boiler house, and was seriously, but not dan gerously hurt. While the fire was raging, from 40 to 50 persons had got on the roof of a shed near the mill ; the roof fell in, and a fearful cry of horror was raised by the spectators, but there was happily no serious injury done.— Halifax Express. NIGHT AT SEA.—We had, during the whole of the night, a favourable but a heavy sea. In the evening the wind freshened, the waves formed and began to roll heavily against the side of tha brig ; the bright moon pro longed torrents of a white and wavy light in large, liquid valleys, hollowed between the great waves. These floating beams of the moon resemble currents of running water, and cascades of snow water, in the bed of the green valley of the Jura and of Switzerland. The ship descends and ascend s heavily each of these deep ravines. For the first time during the voyage, we heard the timbers of the vessel creak under the strokes of each billow, making a noise to which we can compare nothing save the last groans of an ox felled to the earth, and stretched on its side in the con vulsions of agony. This noise, mixed in the night with the roaring o f a hundred thousand waves, the gigantic bounds of the vessel, the crackling of the masts, the whistling of the land breezes, the spray of the foam which is thrown upon and hisses on the deck, the heavy and hasty steps of the sailors aft while reefing the sails, to the laconic and strenuous order of the officer of the watch—all this forms a mass of significant and terrible sounds, which shake ;nore deeply the very heart of man than the roar of cannon on the field of battle. These are scenes at which we must have been present to be acquainted with the painful part of a sailor's life, and to measure our own moral and physical sensibility.—.D e Lamartine's Pilgrimage.

DRURY-LANE. After Macbeth last night, a new melodrama of French extraction was produced under the title of The Travelling Carriage: it has been adapted to our stage by Mr. Planche. The writing has little claim to merit on any account, and nearly every thing depends upon situation. Towards the close there is some confusion of incidents, and too much business seems to be compressed into a small space, but the atmosphere, as it were, will be &eared on a repetition. We heard a few hisses at the fall of the curtain, but pro bably only from those who were too hasty in not making the usual allowances for the difficulty of representation. The acting was very good, especially on the part of Mrs. C. Jones, Cooper, Ward and Harley. The character of the last, as a Drum-Major, who had studied and stood for the antique in the postures of various statues, was novel and amusing ; and Mrs. C. Jones, as his wife, played with mreat success a part which did not seem to afford her much oprortunity of distinction. A good deal of laughter was cc a little duck-l egge d d rummer, called .Rowde d°owa,s: played °ned 67 i,7 a person named Richardson, who was, pickily, very shori and grotesque in his appearance. This, as far as he was concerned, was the whole joke of the part. Mr. Macarthy, from the Cork Theatre, afterwards made his first appearance, as slY_Tiourke, in the The Irish Tutor. COVEN : 7 . GARDEN. After the performance of Macbeth last night at this theatre, Power made his first appearance, after his very long absence, as Teddy the Tiler. The return of this favourite actor was hailed by the audience with loud and prolonged acclamations. He performed ti.le part with great spirit, and with thai rich and racy humour which is pecu liarly his own. The perplexities in which Teddy is involved by his compulsory personation of a fine gentleman, and the joyous recklessness and spirit of fun which carried him through everything, kept the audience in a roar of laughter during the whole piece. The house was crowded. LYCEUM: The Miller's Maid was produced at this theatre last night, to introduce an old and deservedly popular performer, Mr. Rayner, in the character of Giles. The incidents of the piece are exceedingly dull and improbable ; but Rayner displayed those qualities as a performer which have so long since rendered him famous on the metropolitan boards, as the only genuine representative of Yorkshire characters. The second piece was The Waterman, in which a Mr. Leigh Smith appeared as Tom Tug ; and though his vocal powers are not of the highest order, he was indulgently received. The popular melo-dramatic piece, entitled The Muleteer's Vow, concluded the evening's entertainments. A DELP HI. A comic burletta, called The King's Command, was produced at this theatre last evening. ' The principal cha racters in the piece are Mr. Vining ( Edward IV.), Mr. Hemming (Lord Berkly), Miss E. Clifford, and Mrs. Keeley, respectively as the Countess Dowager of Pembroke and her attendant. The history of the period in which the scene is supposed to have taken place—namely, the war be tween the two roses, is the mo s t uncerta i n, most o b scure, and the least au th entic and consistent of any part of Eng lish history since the Conquest, and th e aut h or t h ere f ore had full scope for his imaginat ion, without any risk of be inry, contradicted by authentic records. The piece opens with a country festival preparatory to a marriage between Lord Berkly and the Countess of Pembroke. Eduard IV. having heard of the great beauty and accomplishm en t s o f the Countess, resolves to take his friend by surprise, and, accompanied by only one attendant, visits Lord Berkly a few days before the nuptials were to be solemnized. Lord Berkly, knowing well the loose habits of the King, and the determination with which he persevered in his purposes, in duced the Countess to assume the dress and condition of her attendant, while the attendant was to be presented to the King as the Countess. The ignorance and awkward manners of the latter filled the King with disgust, and he was preparing to depart when he accidentally met the Coun tess in the dress of the waiting maid, formed a violent attach ment for her, and endeavoured in vain, by promises and threats, to induce her to leave the place and accompany him to Court. He at last discovers the trick, and, consis tently with his character, resolves to take vengeance on Berkly, by compelling him to marry the waiting maid, and the Countess to marry an aged gardener—the pledged husband of her waiting maid. Woman's tears, and the vir tue which the Countess displayed in resisting his wishes, at last prevailed, and he gave his consent to the marriage. The piece is very short ; the acting was good, and the scene in which the disclosure took place excited much in terest. Mr. Vining announced it for repetition every even ing till further notice, with general approbation. Mr. Thompson, formerly of Drury-lane Theatre, is /said to be the author. One or two anachronisms occur, but in a fleet ing piece of this description they do not require particular observation. OLYMPIC. A new and original burletta, founded, as the play-bill says, " upon ark, Italian Novella," and entitled The Man's an Ass, was produced here last evening. Of this silly af fair, all that can be said is, that - the author, in the produc tion of it, seems to have laboured hard to earn for himself the title he bestowi upon the play. Ridiculous without a jest, trifling without a point of humour, dull without a moral, the talent of Liston, Keeley, and Matthews could not save it from the damnation it deserved and received. The Rival Queens followed, and the admiral acting of Madame Vestris, Mrs. Hooper, and Liston, soon restored the audience to their wonted good humour. The East Kent registration terminated on Wednes day last. In almost every instance the Reformers have had the advantage, notwithstanding the stale tricks of the Tory prints to deceive their readers.—Kent Herald. TOWER OF LONDON MENAGERIE.--This ancient exhibition no longer exists. The noble lion, it is said, died of consumption, brought on by the unwholesome state of the atmosphere. Latterly an old bear, with a few monkies and birds, were all that were to be seen here, and these were the private property of Mr. Copps, who holds the situation of keeper by a patent, and althoturh the exhibition no longer exists, he retains his house, with a salary of I Is. a day. A few weeks since the above remnants were disposed of to an American gentleman, and exported to that country. Last week the materials which formed the dens, &c., were sold, broken up, and conveyed away. We understand this was accelerated by the circumstance of one of the monkies hav ing bitten the leg of Ensign Seymour, of the 3d Guards, while stationed here, which confined him for a considerable time to his chamber. ALARMING FlRE.—Last night about seven o'clock a fire was discovered in the second floor of the White Hart public-house, Clemenes-lane, which burst forth with such fury that the neighbourhood for a time presented a scene of much confusion, but by the quick arrival of the London Establishment engines from Farrington-street, French Horn yard, and other stations, the flames were confined to the apartments where the fire originated. Mr. Turner, the landlord, it appears, had sent his son to the room to get some silver to give change to his customers, and it is supposed that a spark from the candle which the boy held in his hand, fell among the bed clothes, and caused the ac cident. During the confusion Mr. Turner was robbed of 261., which he had deposited in a room up stairs. The highest credit is due to the neighbours for their exertions at the commencement of the fire, which, it is trusted, will not be passed unnoticed by the insurance offices. Mr. Turner is insured in the Sun and Union Fire Offices. Another melancholy instance arising from the want of care in the use of fowling-pieces we have again to record this week, and we might remark, that in no previ ous season do we remember such a list of fatal accidents from the same cause. John Rowe, a fine young man, lately married, gamekeeper to Thomas Stonor, Esq., of Stonor Park, left his home on Friday morning last, telling his wife he should return to dinner. ,. His not a pp ear i ng a t th e ti me gave no uneasiness, nor cud the poo r woman thi n k muc h o f hi s ab sence at bed-time. The next morning inquiry was made, and as he had not been seen by any one after the early part of the morning on which he went out, diligent search was made, and he was found dead, his head blown to pieces, close to a hedge near an underwood at Bix. His faithful d og v b - As lying on his breast. It seems that he was passing through the hedge, and by some means the gun went off, the contents of which passed through his head and killed him on the epot. A verdict of " Accidental Death" was recorded by tbd jury who sat on the body on Saturday.— Reading Mercury. " BETTER MARRY" THAN DO WAUR."—On Wednesday week an aged couple were married at Barming church. The bridegroom was stone-blind ; the bride was so deaf that she could hear the service with great difficulty ; the interesting bridesmaid was a man with a wooden leg, and the bridesman had lost an arm. " The course of true love never did run smooth," and at the altar, we hear, there was considerable difficulty in arranging the party. When the bride turned her best ear to the parson, she was, of course, on the blind side of " her intended," and great trouble arose as to giving the one-legged bridesmaid a per fect locus standi (as lawyer D-- would say) in the cere mony. However, at last, " the mind's eye" of the gay bridegroom took a proper view of the matter, the bride uttered the awful monosyllable " yes" loud enough to make herself hear, the bridesmaid put his "best leg foremo st, " the bridesman lent a hand (his only one) , and the whol e , o r rather the mutilated party, departed in the most legiti mate manner, the deaf leading the blind, the armless shak ing hands with legless, and the latter " making a leg " to the parson. We hear that the venerable principals in the business have previously had each 90er " on liking" for eight years.— Maidstone Gazette. NEM s I :
