During last week the arrivals of all kinds of grain, as well as Flour, of home produce, were on a very limited scale, though of full average quality. From Ireland and Scotlandl they were confined to about 4,000 quarters of Oats. The imports from abroad were again liberal, viz., 17,584 quarters of Wheat, 9,461 ditto of Barley, 6,703 ditto of Oats, 6,682 ditto of Beans, 1,171 ditto of Peas, 2,223 ditto of Tares, 10,010 ditto of Linseed, 155 ditto of Mustard Seed, 489 ditto of sundry seeds, in cluding Indian Corn, and 100 sacks, together with 1,100 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat ar rived fresh up to-day, from Essex, Kent, Cambridge shire, &c., coastwise, was considerably on the in crease. By land-carriage and sample, the re ceipts were small. On the whole, the stands were much better filled with samples than for some time past, owing to which, the prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, and the compara tively small attendance of buyers, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at a de. cline in the quotations paid on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. At the close of business a clearance of the samples had not been effected. Since the returns were made up on Saturday evening, several cargoes of Foreign Wheat, Barley, and Oats have come to hand. Foreign Wheat was again pressed for sale—landed as well as on board—and the currencies receded from is to 2s per quarter, with a limited amount of business doing. Scarcely any English Barley was on offer, and the prices of that article were nominal. The quantity of foreign was good, and all kinds sold at Is to 2s per quarter less money. The demand for all kinds of Malt was in a very dull state. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. Notwithstanding the show of Oats was small, that description of grain met a very inactive demand, and, in most instances, the rates were quite 6d per cwt lower than on Monday last. The sale for all kinds of Beans was dull, at an abatement in value of Is per quarter. Very few Peas wer e on offer ; yet the business doing in them was trifling, at late rates. In Indian Corn and Meal, next to nothing was doing. The top price of the best Town-made Flour wan unaltered. Ship marks were somewhat easier to purchase. CUR3IENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The number of Beasts here to day from Holl an d an d G ermany was sma ll , b u t th ose o f Sheep and Calves was again extensive. There were in the market 16 very superior Oxen from Spain. Even the time of year considered, the supply of Beasts from our grazing districts was again extensive, and of full average quality. Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was numerous, the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which a clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, we received about 1,600 Scots and short horns; from the western and midland counties, 800 Here fords, runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 489 horned and polled Scots. We have to report a further increase in the supply of Sheep. Prime Down qualities were in moderate request at last week's cur rencies; otherwise, the Mutton trade was heavy, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Only about 100 Lambs eame to hand from the Isle of Wight, but the arrivals from other quarters were large. The Lamb trade was in a very inactive state, at from 2d to 4d per 81bs beneath the prices paid on Monday last. Calves were a very dull inquiry, at barely the late depression in value. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, at almost nominal currencies. Beef is now selling at from is 4d to is Bd, Mutton 4d to Bd, Lamb 8(1 to ls, Veal 8d to 10d, and Pork quite 2d per 81bs lower than at the cor responding period in 1847.

Since Monday last the arrivals of country-killed Meat for these markets have consisted of 320 carcases of Beef. 600 ditto of Mutton, 450 ditto of Lamb, 230 ditto of Veal, and 390 ditto of Pork. The supplies on offer, slaughtered in the metropolis, have been seasonably ex tensive, and of full average quality. Muttoa has moved off steadily, at full prices.

The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, the Earl of Egremont, and the Bishop of Hereford. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. COX AND OTHERS. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied their Lorthhips the whole morning. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the Equity Courts this morning. SITTINGS. The LORD CHANCELLOR has issued a notice with respect to the sittings of the Courts, to the following effect, namely:—that the sittings would continue till the 10th of August; that there would be no sittings between the end of the present term and the first seal — the 24th. That after term the Courts would rise on Saturdays, at two o'clock, and that on Mondays the sittings would commence at eleven o'clock A.M., and end at four o'clock P.M. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WiawrstlN.) TEAR V. A BARRISTER OF THIS COURT. Mr. PARRY moved for a rule, calling upon a gentle man, a barrister, whose name his Lordship would find in the affidavit, to show cause why a certain warrant of attorney which had been given to him by the person on whose behalf he moved should not be cancelled, on the ground that it was given for an illegal consideration; and also why a further warrant of attorney should not be set aside for the same reason. It appeared that the person against whom he moved. being about to be called to the bar in 1843, consented to dispose of an office which he held as clerk to magistrates to Mr. Tean, for the yearly sum of 2001. for five years, the value of the office being worth 5001. a year. The first bond was set aside in order to destroy some suspicion which it was believed the magistrates entertained in consequence of the person who held the office having recommended Mr. Tean as his successor. He ultimately was appointed. The second bond was subsequently given for the same consideration. The instalments not having been regu lariy paid, and the applicants being 150/. in arrear, the defendant proceeded against him, entered up judgment by con.ent, and subsequently had been arrested on the strength of it, sod he was at present in Whitecross street. He apprehended that the sale of the office, which was one c f justice, was illegal, according to the Act of George ILL, and that the vendor was liable to be proceeded against for a misdemeanour. Under these circumstances the whole of the proceedings were invalid, and the applicant ought to be set at liberty. Mr. Justice WxuaTmax considered that the Learned Counsel should have cited authorities in support of his application, and recommended him to do se, and to move the Court again, or in the meantime to bring the matter before the full Court. He felt some doubt, under the circumstances, whether he should comply with the motion. Mr. PARRY said he should look for authorities, and most likely mention the subject again. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) MACGREGOR V. DARRETT.-LOAN SOCIETIES. This was a case of considerable importance to loan so cieties and their officers. The plaintiff was formerly secre tary to the "Caledonian Loan and Discount Society," and whilst holding that office 1001. was lent to the defendant, who gave a promissory note to the secretary, making it payable, as is usual, to the secretary. Shortly after the plaintiff ceased to be secretary, and as the bill was not paid when it became due, an action was commenced by the secretary in his name, as their public officer at the time, and as the party to whom the bill was made payable. After the action had been commenced the plaintiff came to this court, in which it was proceeding, and protested against the action being brought in his name; but the Court decided that the society had a right so to proceed, giving him at the same time an in deinnity against any costs being charged against him. Subgequently the defendant was arrested on the judgment thus obtained, and placed in Whitecross-street prison. The plaintiff, after the defendant had been there a short time, gave a discharge to the sheriff, and the defendant wai accordingly liberated. The plaintiff subsequently framed an affidavit, which, however, was not tiled in sufficient time, stating that the society had acted op pressively. A rule was obtained a short time ago calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why an attachment should not issue against him, or why he should not pay the amount of the debt and costs. Mr. PICOT showed cause against the rule to-day, on the ground that the plaintiff had no intention to treat the Court with contempt, that he acted in ignorance of the consequences that might ensue to him, and under the impression that, as the defendant was in custody at his suit, that he could liberate him when he thought proper. Mr. White was on the other side, but the Courtedid not think it necessary to hear him. The COURT said the plaintiff had been guilty of as gross a contempt of the pro cess o f t h e Court as had ever come under their observation. The Court having decided that the action should proceed in his name, and having given him an indemnity against the payment of costs, the plaintiff had taken upon him self to render all the proceedings of the Court impera tive. The rule for an attachment must be made abso lute; they thought it unnecessary to add the later portion of the rule. If when in custody he paid the debt, it would then be f,r the Court to consider whether or not they should punish him for contempt.

Mr. Henry Beresford, superintendent of the C di vision, said, he prod uce d hi s report, an d th e order of the Commissioners of the Police to enter the house. About a quarter-past two on Sunday morning he went to the house with a b o dy o f constables, and foun d t h e premises to all appearance closed. He rang the bell several times, and as no one appeared he directed one of the constables to knock loudly on the door with a crow-bar. After waiting a f ew m i nutes h e commence d forcing the i door. Thi s d oor was strongly secure d w i t h aniron chain, and gave t h em some trouble t o break it open. l'hey then proceeded along the passage till they came to a pair of f o ldi ng d oors covered w i t h gre en baize, and strongly secured with iron bars. This door was also forced open, when witness entered a passage, and saw the defendants Charles Liley and Brown standing at the bottom of the stairs. Witness o rdered a con stable to secu re th em, w hi le he procee d e d u pstairs, and found all the other defendants in the first floor front room. Tnere were two billiard tables in the room, and lights were burning over them. Witness then had the whole of the defendants taken into custody, and con veyed to the st a ti on , w h ere they were searc hed, but no gaming implements found upon them. Witness subse quently searched the premises, but could discover no implements used in gaming. Mr. Robarts, of Spring-gardens, and Mr. Huddle stone, who attended for the defendants, contended that the defendants must be discharged, as there was not the least evidence offered to show that they had met for the purposes of gambling. Mr. HARDWICK said, in the absence of any technical and legal evidence of the house being a common gaming house, the present case could not b e gone on with. He must, therefore, discharge them. WORSHIP-STREET.—(TIIIS DAY ) THE CHARTISTS.—This morning long before the opening of the court, the office was literally besieged by individuals anxious to obtain a sight of the indivi duals called Chartists, sho had, during yesterday, been taken into custody for riotous and disorderly conduct, and with assaulting the police in the performance of their duty. a c Some o muchf the cut defendants fen d swollen ants covered with e d hadhesive t h w e i i r t h e a ds an d f plaister. A sweep. named Samuel Newman, was charged by constable 214 N, with hooting and yelling at the police whilst conveying their prisoners from the van into the office at about half-past ten o'clock this morning. He had been seen by witness, among the crowd, some time previously, and was heard to say by a brother constable that he should like to " run the police through." He was, however, at length laid hold of and brought into the court. Mr. HAItIMILL said that the defendant had been in terrupting the police in the execution of their duty, almost within the very walls of the court. He should therefore call upon him to find substantial bail for his good behaviour for three calendar months. The prisoner, in default, was locked up. Robert Maigrie was charged by 172 N, with being one of a mob, collected yesterday morning in Nova Scotia gardens, Bethnal-green, and with attempting to hurl a stone at the police. One man was haranguing the mob. He perceived the defendant pick up a stone and place it in his pocket. The police were hooted at by the mob. Witness kept his eye upon the prisoner, and presently saw him pick up another stone and place that also in his pocket. The mob now removed to an adjoining field, followed by the police, and presently he saw the defendant withdraw one of the stones from his coat pocket, and raise his arm, and directing it towards the police would have hurled it at them, but for his arm having been caught by a policeman, who conveyed him to the station-house, followed by some of the mob. On his way to the sta tion the prisoner pulled off his hat, and gave " three cheers for the Chartists." The other stone was found upon his person. The prisoner acknowledged to having given " three cheers for the Ch a rti s t s ," b u t said h e h a no intention whatever of injuring the police. A host of other individuals similarly charged was brought before Mr. Hanimill, who desired that they should be locked up until he should have considered of their various sentences according to the amount of their aggression.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Count Pompeo Troili, Guardia Nubile of his Holiness Pius IX., with Miss Maria Hoare, the beautiful daughter of Captain Richard Hoare, R.N., and niece to Sir iAugh R. Hoare, Bart., was solemnised on Saturday eit St. James's Church, Piccadilly, the Roman Catholic ritual having previously been complied with in the Catholic chapel by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, Vicar Apostolic of the London district. The impressive ceremon y was performed in the Presence o f a se l ect c i rc l e of the friends of both families, and several foreign no bl emen . The happy pair early in th e a f ternoon left t h e residence of Mrs. Hoare, the b r id e ' s aunt, in St. James ' s - square ,, in a chariot and four for the country, where they will pass the honeymoon before leaving for Rome.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AND THREA TENED DESTRUCTION OF THE SLEW RAILWAY BRID nE AT BATH.—The utmost alarm and anxiety preys sled in Bath on Saturday afternoon in consequence of the break ing out of a most alarming and destructive fires in the large range of flour mills which adjoin the newly erected goods sheds of the Great Western Railway, and; which are likewise situated in the almost immediate pros ximity to that beautiful and costly work of engineering skill, the skew wood bridge, by which the railway is passed from the Bath viaduct across the River Avon. Th alarm of fire was first given at between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, and the city engines and those tielong ing to the different insurance offices were pr samptly manned and conveyed to the scene of coi aflagra tion. The flour mills have a great deal of tit ober in their construction, and the flames consequently spread with such rapidity and violence that, at one tis tae, the destruction of the goods sheds of the railway seemed inevitable, and the skew bridge itself placed i n great jeopardy. The flames poured from the window a of the mill against the goods shed, the windows of whis eh were broken, and the sills of them ignited. The officials of the Great Western Company exerted themselves I to the utmost, as did also the firemen and others; and t she con flagration was at length got under, but not u tail the interior of the mills had been entirely burnt out. A large concourse of spectators assembled on the al : , ot, and the apprehensions telt for the safety of the railway pro perty was considerable; fortunately, however, it was not materially damaged , nor was any delay experli- taced in the transit of the trains. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES REGISTRATIO I‘.-0o Saturday was printed, by order of the House 0 f Com mons, an abstract of the report of the Registrar ocf Joint stock Companies for the year 1847. In the yrs t ar only '215 companies were provisionally registered ut I der the Act 7 and 8 Vict. c. 110, an insignificant numb' r com pared with the two preceding years. There were ninety eight companies completely registered in the >as ar. Of companies provisionally registered, but which had not obtained complete registration as required, the number was 178. The amount of fees paid at the head , office in London in the year amounted to 4,0551. 3s. 2d.„ and in Dublin 1001. 12s. 8(1.-4,155/. 15 s. 10d. A asmst mg the companies which failed to obtain complete regi stration was one called " Sanitary Fountains and Genet ral Ad vertising Company." Four fiats were issued in the year against Joint-stock Companies, three of which hr ere rail way companies and one a cemetery company. In one of the railway companies—Birmingham and. Boston Direct—the debts were returned at 5,0591, Gs, 1. , 0d., and the assets at 24/. 10s. "LIVE FEATHERS.

Sir,—On Wednesday May 31, the House went into Committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. The party that are for relieving nobody, moved an instruction to the Committee to divide the Bill into two; which will he understood as giving up one por tion of the spoil with a view to making a better de fence upon the other. In this they succeeded by a majority of 142 against 129. On a subsequent mo tion to stop progress, they were defeated by 161 against 111. On Thursday, the adjourned debate on the Navi gation-laws was resumed on the question of going into Committee. The Conservatives made their usual protest against " the sordid spirit of gain ;" which is what th ey h a bi tually put forward when t h e question is of taking profits for themselves and making other people pay for it. One fact they commented on, which must be further looked into. A naval officer of rank, Sir James Sterling, has declared before a Committee, that he does not believe in the connexion between the navy and the mercantile marine, t o t h e extent it has been customary to assume. 'fhis, as coining from a professional autho rity, is important ; for it strikes at several weighty assumptions, among others, the necessity for Im pressment, and the policy of paying twice over, once for the navy, and once before for the mercantile ma rine. My own belief is, that it would he as reason able to ask you the public, to pay a mono p o ly p r ice for postb oys, i n order that the Artillery might supply itself with drivers. It is no doubt convenient for the Artillery t o recru i t among men used to the driving business, in order to fill up what it cannot educate itself; and it is possible there might be difficulty in maintainin g a corps of artillery-drivers in a country where there were positively no drivers to be had outside. But this is a long way from allowi ng post masters to set up a p l ea, that they are the great nursery of artill er y-d r i vers, and therefore must be nursed with a monopoly price. Drivers are good, and sailors are good ; b u t not necessarily so goo as to require to be paid for twice over. It appears we have a naval officer avowing his disbelief; and you at Bradford, as the men who are to pay for all, ought to follow his lead, when you have done with the pike-exercise. On Friday, the debate on the Navigation-laws was continued and again adjourned. The most remark able point brought out during the debate, was the admission on all sides of the House of the impossi bility of again resorting to Impressment. Those who attend to such things, know the effect of an admis sion of this kind, and how it settles down into the public mind, forming there a fixed basis of opinion which cannot be aiterwards disturbed. • Lord John Hay, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, was the mouthpiece of the Government. When urged to say how the Government expected to man the navy in the event of a sudden war, he fairly stated that they looked to the inevitable check to employ ment in some department or other of the merchant service which must be attendant, and to the encou ragement the royal navy could offer to the un employed seamen to enlist. It is quite clear that sense and justice have made their way into high places. The army has long been recruited on the same principle ; and it was only because the sailor was a man cut off from conceived community of in terest with the other classes, that the injustice could be applied to him. Two things only are wanting to recruit the royal navy to any extent, good pay, and good usage. On the first there is a good deal to be done; for the transfer of sailors from the merchants' to the royal service must be slow, so long as there is the outward visible sign of wages being three times as high in the one as in the other. There may, to a certain extent, be counterbalances in the eyes of reasoning men ; but the navy cannot wait for being manned by reasoning men. At the same time it is plain the naval officers are doing much to wards the cause of progress. They scout the notion of their predecessors, that there is no way of supply ing the navy with able seamen but by stealing them from the merchant-vessels ready made. They do as the Artillery would do, if told there was no way to have their guns driven but by stealing post. boys. They do not deny that post-boys may be a useful accessory; but they say that they can make post boys too, and that there is no reason why a man who is to live in the saddle, should not learn his trade in their school as well as in another. It is evident that this question of the Navigation laws divides itself into two parts, the commercial and the political ; and these it is the policy of the Protection. ists to confound together, and therefore of everybody else to separate. The first or commercial part of the question, is simply a portion of the general subject of Free Trade. Is it for the advantage of the community that the price of any commodity should be artificially raised by law ? See who gains and who loses, and then putting the whole together, see which way the balance lies. If you at Bradford could not do this, you would be of scant knowledge in your own busi ness, and deserve to take the consequences. But it is wonderful how slow the progress of this knowledge is outside; and for trying to extend it in the house of Commons, you might as well make a proposal for teaching algebra. I have always maintained that the main cause of the obscurity is from overlooking one of the items of the account. For example, it is only a few nights since a very eminent member of the House, who may some day be Prime Minister, put with great effect the case of the steam-boats on the Thames, which carry the citiz-n for fourpence as far as the old wherries did for four shillings, and pointed out the certainty that the difference was in the pocket of the citizen. But, if he will excuse a question from " an older, not a better, soldier," why did he stop exactly there ? He had proved a balance, but no more. Why, for in stance, should not the Member for Lincoln who grieves over railways, ask him what good has been done upon the whole, and why the suffer ings attendant upon change are to be incurred, with the mere result of taking three and eight pence out of one man's pocket to put it into another's ? I therefore take liberty to ask, whether the Honourable Member did not halt exactly where it was important that he should go on. I want to know, whe ther the citizen in the steam-boat does not expend that identical three and eightpence as much as ever, on some form of industry or another,—at Brussells I remember supposing it the industry of pastry- cooks, which has the advantage of being distinct and picturesque. I want to know then, whether the account does not stand thus. In the old state of things, fbur shillings to a waterman for pulling me in two hours from Blackwell to Westminster. Per contra, in the new, fourpence to a steam- boat company for carrying me the same distance in one hour, and three and eight pence to a pastrycook for a magnificent currant tart. Now what I insist on knowing, is, first, whether this does not make an exact balance as regards the indus try of the country from the expenditure of the four shillings, keeping the tart -eater out of sight ; and secondly, whether under the new state of things, the tart-eater does not gain the tart. I hold to it, and will for ever maintain it, that the " burking" of the truth that the three and eightpence is just as much expended on the industry of the country in the new state of things as in the old, is the cause of all the doubt which has hung about the question of free trade, and that the observation of it is the key which opens all difficulties connected with the subject. If there are pining watermen for want of the three and eight pence, there are fattening pastrycooks, and, what is the important: thing] which: turns the scale, there is a citizen swallowing pastry for his money, instead of swallowing nothing but the damp air of the I.le of Dogs in a two hours' drag with sculls. This is what nobody can be got to see. This is what I have been laughed at by all sorts of men, political economists included, for maintaining. And this is what I mean to maintain to the end involves the whole principle of free trade, and without it, we who have supported free trade, have been babblers dis turbing the world without a cause. Hence all artificial raising of prices for the sake of giving more extensive profits or employment to those ' who are to sell, is only taking from one man to give to another as far as industry is concerned,.and rob bing the consumer of the value of the difference for love. And the conclusion is just as clear, if instead of steam-boats is put the proposal for making wine in hot-houses; the result being that the balance among the industries to be employed is just the same, only the consumer in one case is to pay six instead of two pounds for his wine per dozen, and have nothing for the difference. If this is not true, we ought to close railways, burn steam-boats, prohibit ploughs, forbid omnibuses, blunt knives and t a k e o ff the edge of razors, makel wine in hot-houses and grow cotton in cucumber-frames, levy taxes to be spent in fireworks or digging holes and filling them up again, and in all possible manners take the way that gives most trouble with the least result. In every one of these cases, the reason why it should not be done lies simply in the neglected fact, that the money would just as much be expended on industry if all people were left to take the course that is profitable to them. But if this is true, then the refusing to employ a foreign-built ship in order that you may give a greater price for an English one, is in a commercial view a piece of the same silliness as to insist on making wine in hot-houses instead of bringing it from Oporto. And it acts on you at Bradford in two ways, besides your general interest as consumers which might make a third. It obliges you to use a dearer instrument for your foreign trade,—for a ship is just as much your instrument as a cart or waggon ; and it cuts you off from a portion of your foreign trade, which is increased by all ex tension of transactions with foreigners, and dimi nished by their prohibition. If you like to consent to the prohibition because it cannot exactly be shown which is the piece in your warehouses that is not to go abroad, it is for your selves to decide. Though, to my fancy, there would be no more reason in it, than in asking you to con i sent to a sovereign being taken from your pocket, because you did not know whether it was to hav e' r- St, George and the Dragon or a coat of arms on the reverse. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, June 5, 1848. HER MAJESTY'S TIIEATRE. Saturday was the last performance tor some time, probably, of the Lucia. Until Thursday there will be no performance, on account of the melancholy observ ance of Tuesday. whilst we are happy to see that the Monday and Wednesday, belonging to the other theatres, will not be invaded. On Thursday will be performed, fur the first time, Elisir d' Amore, in which Wile. Lind made her first appearance in Stockholm this season, with a success so remarkable that the details were at the time copied in all the journals of the Continent. Still. whatever the new characters' she may asinine, we con sider, as yet, that none can surpass Lucia, and such appeared to be the opinion of the audience on Saturday night. The house was crowded to excess: the boxes had more than the usual number of fashionable tenants, every stall was occupied, whilst the spectators in the pit were wedged in immovably. Although it was the fourth time consecutively that Lucia had been performed, the plaudits and enthusiasm were undiminished. _ _ The performance was attended by the Prince Louis Napoleon, his Excellency the Russian Minister, Baroness Brunnow and Mademoiselle Olga de Lechner, his Ex cellency the Sardinian Minister, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, his Excellency the Hanoverian Mi nister, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess i of Leeds and Miss Lane Fox, the Marquis of Clauri carde, the Marquis of Donegall, the Marquis of Ailes . bury, the Marquis of Worcester, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Londonderry and Lady Adelaide Vane, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl Granville, the Earl of Fal• mouth, the Earl of Aboyne, the Earl of Cardigan, the Countess of Chesterfield, the Countess of Blessington, and the Misses Power, the Earl of Munster, the Earl of Abergavenny, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Bess borough, the Ladies Kathleen and Harriet Pousonhy, and the Honourable Spencer Ponsonby (who occupied her Majesty's box), the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, the Earl and Countess of Harewood, the Viscount Las celles Lady Louisa, and Lady Elizabeth La scelles, and theHonourable Captain Spencer (who occupied her Majesty the Queen Dowager's box), the Countess of Lichfield and Lady Harriet Anson, Viscount Exmouth, Viscount Enfield, Lord Walpole, Lord Forester, Lord Ernest Bruce, Lord Southampton, Lord Sandys, Lord and Lady Willoughby de Ereshy, Lord Foley and the Hon.

The troupe of the Palais Royal—that inimitable troup e which, so long as events left the Pari s i ans courage enoug to laugh, maintained its ground and warred against the invasion of gloom—made its first app earance on Friday night at the St. James's Theatre. We have now in Eng land, for the first time, a complete company of French comedians, thoroughly drilled, habituated to their parts, and all belonging to the same department of the drama. Nothing could be more marked than the difference re sulting from this great advantage alone. Were it not for the long intervals betwixt the acts, customary at this theatre, the longest vaudeville ever performed would have glided off with astonishing rapidity, and without error or mistake, every nuance being thoroughly studied, complete in details, and up to every exigency of theatri cal illusion. We had only, of course, a portion of the numerous troupe before us. The first vaudeville, in two acts, entitled La Savonette Imperials, is an illus tration of the manner in whieh l'Empereur himself, a most striking example of the soldats heureux of Voltaire, elevated his officers, raised from the ranks to the level of the most aristocratic families of France. The hero of the vaudeville marries the daughter of a Marquis of the old regime, who, in his pliancy and sycophancy to the ruling power, does not forgrt any of the prejudices of hereditary lineage. In these prejudices his daughter for a time participates, and despises the rough habits of the soldier of fortune, her consort, until, become familiar with his native nobility of character, arid proud of his prowess and of his glory, she repants, and determines to follow him away from all the frivolous scenes of Parisian fashion, and amidst all the trials of a military campaign. The hero was enacted by M. Derval, an actor of repute in Paris, and the heroine was Mdlle. Figeac, an estab lished favourite of the Palms Royal. But there was also M. Lemenil, who enacted the part of a rough, true-hearted old soldier of the empire, and, whatever the merits of the two other per formers, he totally eclipsed them. We have seldom seen a more admirable portraiture ; it was lull of life and individuality, replete with pathos, as well as broad humour, Ills swigs were excellently delivered, and most justly encored. 'the great feature of the night, how ever, was the second vaudeville, a vaudeville in no le,s than three acts, which has had an extraordinary run in Paris, under the name of Une Fievre Brulante. The plot is too full of peripeties—too lengthy and involved—to allow any connected account of it. The hero, Richard Tremblay (Ravel) is a rich, eccentric young bachelor. lie is consumed by love for the lair sex; but such is his timidity, and his consequent fear of meeting with the objets of his dreams, that, at their approach, he is seized apparently with horror of their presence, and gives way to the harshest expressions of feigned dislike but of real terror. He is in love with his opposite neigh bour, whose name he knows not, and passes his time gazing at her from his window. Dire consequences arise from his astronomical observations of his ruling star. The young ladies of the milliner's establishment below think his glances are directed to one of them, and invade his retreat to solve the question, first—to his dismay—in their own costume, but they next come dressed as young students, so that when subsequently he meets them at a ball he thinks they are boys disguised as girls. On the other hand, an old romantic dancer, who has married a Russian Count, takes Tremblay's love fur her sister (twenty years younger) as being addressed to herself, and gives way to the most head long return of supposed affection, whilst her husband (Grassot) is no less headlong in his jealousy and ven geance. The unfortunate bachelor, besides his nervous timidity, baffled in his affections, constantly labouring under the mistakes or misapprehensions of others as well as his own, first tries to shoot himself; but, fortu nately, like the Irishman in the old story, he shoots his image in a mirror. Next he throws himself out of window, but falls in a mud cart. Ile encounters the repulses of his inamorata, the persecutions of the young milliners, and those, still more terrible, of the old lady, together with the vengeance of the Russian Count. His happiness is, however, sealed at last by an adventure in a box at the Opera Comique, where he gets the Russian Count taken up by the police, by hiding in his box and imitating the barking of a dog, which he has a natural propensity to do, like a real canine quadruped, whenever he hears the pianoforte played upon. His sweetheart, the Countess's sister, accepts of his hand, to prevent the former, in her romance, eloping with him. and the Count, in his alarm, gladly consents to the match. The acting of Ravel was beyond all praise, as it was beyond all description. The least movement of his features produced bursts of laugh ter amongst the audience. His mercurial movements, his untiring spirits, his complete abandon, his alternate despondency and excitement, and his admirable delivery of the couplets introduced—in a word, every resource of a genuine actor of:a peculia r ty pe was displayed successively with most triumphant effect. He was admirably supported by the scarce less celebrated actor Grassot, who played the part of the Count and diplomatist. His broad, de cided caricature style was full of originality, and con trasted excellently with the nervous delineation of hie brother actor. The entertainment was altogether most successful—full of present enjoyment and of future promise. HAYMARKET THEATRE. A. new and original comic drama entitled Omens and Odd Coincidences was acted fur the first time on Satur day. It bears internal evidence of being of true Eng glish facture, from its weakness of construction and its entire absence of anything approximating to develop ment of character ; for though there is an attempt to endue the several personages with some ruling " hu mour," it is done so inartificially that it forms little be yond the mere outward covering. The title bears but slight reference to the action, for there are neither omens nor coincidences, if we except some auld wile superstitions of an elderly gentleman, who shudders at the upsetting of salt-cellars, and has an abiding faith in the aqueous virtue of cauls and sueh antiquated follies, and even these absurdities have been worn threadbare by preceding playwrights. The piece opens at a fashion able boarding-house at St. John's-wood, kept by Mrs. Provender (Mrs. Humby), with whom resides Mr. Christopher Token (Mr. Farrell), an elderly bachelor, rich, silly, benevolent, nervous, and superstitious, who believes in signs and portents, ghosts , cas tin g o nati vities,f and other astrological fancies. His servant , Foil (Mr. Keeley), having had the advantage of University experience as a Gyp, becomes an academical h rogne, and contrives to fatten upon the lean wits of master. Then there are Mr. Gorman Grub (Mr. Tilbury), a fat headed, rubicund-faced, swollen-paunched gourmand; a Mr. Frederick Gayhurst (Mr. A. Wigan), a former pro visional director of various hypothetical railroads, who is deeply in debt, and seeking to victimise the ladies and gentlemen of Mrs. Provender's establishment, and last and least, Lionel Harlencourt (Mr. H. Vandenhoff), a walking gentleman, drawn out to infinitesimal tenuity, who makes love to an amorous walking lady, Emmeline Linden (Miss Harding). The ladies of the St. John's Wood boarding establishment are Mrs. Fitzmarshall (Mrs. Nisbett), an officer's widow, who breathes gun powder and talks congreve rockets; Miss Prune (Mrs. Glover), a spinster on the shady side of forty, scientific and sinister, who affects systems and statistics; and Su- , an (Mrs. Keeley), a bustling', intriguing, quaint, monthly warning. We must not forget Trace (Mr. Rogers), a sheriff's officer, and Mordax (Mr. Brindal), an individual with no character at all. The boarders have a pie-nic up the Thames, at which the usual agreeabilities occur, e. g. broken bottles, spilt wine, mutilated pasties, absent cork-screws, and a thunder-storm. The ladies get soaked, Mr. Token tumbles into the river, and is saved by the pale, bilious, and interesting " walking gentlenian.- Then there is a mysterious story appended, which we found quite unfathomable, about the young lady being the orphan daughter of a former love of Mr. Token, and how Mrs. Provender, the principal of the St. John's Wood boarding establishment, had run away from America, carrying the young lady with her, and leav ing h er h us b an d behind 'her in the United States, who turns out most opportunely to be the aforementioned Trace, the Sheriff's officer. Then there is the accus tomed pairing —a sudden match is concluded between Gayhurst and the military widow, the young walking gentleman is united to the young walking lady, and then came the final appeal to the audience, of whom some faintly applauded and some considerably disap proved. A description of a siege, after the manner of the celebrated lines in the Love Chase, delivered by Mrs. Nisbett with great spirit, was much applauded. Mrs. Glover has a part totally unworthy her rrinatkable talent. The pic-nic on an sit on the Thames aff ,rded opportunities for oddities oF situation ; but a similar scene, in a piece called, we think, The Water Party, performed during the Vestris regime at the Olyinpie, detracted from its novelty. A want of clearness and consoeutiveness renders the piece ineff ctive and weari some. The actors laboured zealously and this public were amiable and patient; but, without great conden sation, we opine that the new drama will never become an old une. It was not given out for repetition. COURT CIRCULAR.

The account, !exclusive of the Post-office, would exhibit a diminution of 197 persons, and about 58,0001. per annum in salaries and emolu ments. APPREHENSION OF GAMBLERS.—POT Some time past it has been suspected that a very extensive system of gambling has been carried on at 64A, St. James's-street. During the last week the police having had private in. formation of the proceedings of the parties, have been on the qui vice, and about half-past two yesterday (Sunday) morning. Inspector Beresford, in company with a strong body of the force, repaired to the spot, taking the newly invented apparatus for forcing:the doors, &c., with them. Several persons were stationed in different parts of the street, evidently on the look out, and a signal was given upon the appearance of the police to warn the persona within the building, in order that they might effect an escape. This, however, proved ineffectual. The police advanced, the machine was put in action, and the doors instantly broken open, when the whole of the parties were at once captured, there being 16 in number. The tables, dice-box, and other 'gambling implements were also secured, and the parties were conveyed in cabs to the Vine street police station, but were almost immedi ately released on bail. Notwithstanding the early hour of the morning, hundreds of persons assembled round the house in a few minutes. SIR H.

With a coarse precipitation, the Spanish Ministers have em ployed a remedy wholly unsuited to the occasion; and the two countries may be exp , sed to some of the incon veniences of a rupture from the consummate misconduct of those eminent persons on both sides, whose primary duty it was to maintain the ancient courtesy and to re spect their common interests. But if the English Minister is open to a charge of indiscreet interference, the Spaniards had no right to resent such impolitic conduct or unseasonable advice by a direct breach of the law of nations; and as yet the larger offence remains unredressed and unnoticed.— Times.
