The House sat to-day to hear English Appeals. 7 In con. sequence of the indisposition of the Lord Chancellor the fur. ther hearing of the part heard Appeal of " Scott v. Jones,' was postponed. ?;,Lords Brougham, Kenyon, and Sydney, sat for his Lordship, TILE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD V. KNIGHT. The respondent in this case, who was the Rector of the parish of Ford, in the county of Northumberland, in 1830 filed his bill in the Court of Exchequer against the appellant, claiming the great and small tithes of the parish of Ford. To that bill tl:e Appellant, who was then an infant, put in an answer, which the respondent, on account of the infancy of the appellant, could not take exceptions to. Upon the appel lant attaining his majority the respondent filed another bill against him praying for discovery; to that bill the plaintiff put in a demurrer for want of equity. Upon that demurrer coming on for hearing before the Lord Chief Baron his Lord ship ordered it to be overruled, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. Swanston and Mr. Purvis were Counsel for the appel lants, and Mr. Boteler and Mr. Lowndes appeared for the respondent.—The arguments had not concluded when our Reporter left.

There was on Saturday a private exhibition of a new philo sophical instrument, of very recent invention, termed the " Self-acting electro-magnetic machine," which promises, when its powers shall be more fully developed, important re sults to the cause of science. This machine is so arranged that a current of electricity, induced by the voltaic battery, causes a spindle to revolve rapidly, producing sparks of elec trical light, from metallic points which alternately dip in mer cury. At present the principal object that the inventor, Mr. Saxton, seems to have in view, beyond the exhibition of a very beautiful philosophical experiment, is the application of this machine to medical purposes, for which the simplicity of its construction, and the ease with which it is put in motion, render it peculiarly fit. By the aid of it, and without an at tendant, any person can, at will, avail himself of all the medi cinal power of electricity, by passing an electrical current through any part of his body for as long a time as may be de sired. But it is by no means improbable that the principle of this machine, through its power of producing sudden and rapid motion, may hereafter be found applicable to still more im portant purposes. A gentleman who was present suggested a trial of this new power on a small boat which floats on the canal in the great room Gf the Adelaide Gallery, and it is sup posed that the vessel may, for so long a time as the action of the galvanic battery lasts, be impelled by it. The mode of producing that action, as well as the battery used for this pur pose, are extremely simple, requiring only a weak infusion of vitriolic acid, or common salt in water. The machin e may also be used for a variety of curious electro-magnetic experi ments. Other interesting subjects are preparing for exhi bition at the Adelaide Gallery, among which is a glass lens, four inches thick and three feet in diameter, with a power, it is said, of condensing the sun's rays so as to fuse gold. The whole establishment, for the degree in which it combines amusement with instruction, forms one of the most attractive places of resort in the metropolis. DUBLIN. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. Goulburn endeavoured to persuade the House of Com mons, in the debate on the Orange Addresses, that the " most gracious" reception of those effusions, attributed to his Ma jesty, was a mere form, and no more than the usual routine ob served on all occasions. We might refer to a certain tardy answer of the Duke of Wellington to the Earl of Durham, who had transmitted sonic addresses to his Grace while he was the Cabinet, for a refutation of that attempted defence. The Duke's letter contained no word or syllable of gracious im port, from Alpha to Omega. It was stern and repulsive al most to personal rudeness. Oh, no, parry it as they will, it is only the congenial address which elicits the gracious answer; anl the Orange Lodges were greeted with cordiality, because at the time that their addresses were sent over, Ministers were yet under the delusion of re-action, and had hopes of being able to yule Ireland on Orange principles. They ►zow know their mistake ; and the Home Secretary strives, in his own clumsy way, to back them out of it. Be also is now cc Reformer—save the mark—and demands a fair trial that he ntay assist in carrying out the designs of the late Cabinet. Buy this will not pass. As your able correspondent, Milo, has well observed, they "have been tried." Yea, even since their return to office they have been tried, and stand , self-condemned. 'This is true of theni all; but Goulburn, par excellence, is convit ted upon the evidence of these very addresses. The latest trf them, that of the Dublin Aggregate Meeting of Orange Lodges, at which the Lord Mayor pre sided, is enough to seal his Zellers Dimissory to all the Col leges in Christendom as an Anti- Reformer in blood and bone. It is not so much on his general approbation of the senti ments expressed in that address that this assertion is founded, as on the particular passage of it which he selects to make it the subject of his praise. The document is tolerably lengthy and comprehends a variety of topics. It dilates learnedly and largely on the Protestant principles which placed the reigning family on the throne; glorifies the King for his speech to the Bishops ; expresses in a short, but pithy phrase, deep-felt gra titude for the dismissal of his "late revolutionary Ministers," and finally launches out in a fine affectionate prayer for a long and happy reign, to be passed in the footsteps of George the Third. Here were many points, interesting to the King's personal feelings, on which his Majesty might be expected to derive some gratification ; but the Home Secretary nails the royal consideration to one only, and that the brief but harsh allusion to the expulsion of the late Government. Ecce signum— " Whitehall, Jan. 21, 1835. " Sir,-1 have had the honour to lay before the King the loyal and dutiful address, signed by you and others, on the late change of Administration ; and I have the satisfaction to inform you that his Majesty was pleased to receive the same in the most gracious manner. " H. GOULBURN." ' Is this afacon de parley? or is it not rather— " A close denotement working from the heart, Which passion cannot rule?" The Church is cast out of sight, the good old King is left to " rest in the shade," the expressions of affectionate attach ment to his Majesty's person are thought nothing of, while Mr. Goulburn's most gracious consideration is fastened and rivetted upon the bugbear so familiar to the thonghts and tongue of every one who dreads Reform, the revolutionary charge against the Whigs. To that point alone in the whole of the address does he direct his commendation of the dutiful and loyal dispositions of the Dublin Orangemen. And after all this, he claims credit to himself as a Reformer, and joins his associates in demanding afair trial ! The printer of the Freeman's Jonrnal, having been arrested for an alleged libel in that paper on the Established Church, under the title of " The Parsons," tendered bail to the magistrates, and was liberated on entering into recogni zances to abide his trial at the next commission, himself in 1001., and two sureties of 501. each. Three sheep were shot on Sunday at Worle, in con sequence of their having gone mad. It is supposed that they were bitten about a month since by a mad dog.—Bristol Mercury. THE LEEDS TRADE.---There was not quite so much business done at the Cloth Halls this week as has been the casesfor several weeks previous ; there was, nevertheless, a fair quantity of goods sold : prices remain the same as for some time past, and the stock of goods in the halls is very much reduced in quantity since the commencement of the year. In the warehouses trade has been rather dull this week, there having been fewer buyers than usual at this season in the market. The large amount dr finished goods which is adver tised for sale by auction next week, is expected to induce many drapers and _other buyers to come to market, and the general expectation is, that there will be an improvement in business.—Leeds Mercury. AN ASSAULTING BUTCHER.—CharIes Stratford, a journey man butcher, applied upon his petition to be discharged, and was unopposed. The insolvent, a beef-eating looking personage, had mixed among the gay company at last Bartholomew' Fair, and got into an affray. He gave a friend a slight tap, but made it up afterwards over some half-and-half. The party, how ever, brought an action against him for the assault, and as he had no money he had suffered judgment to go by default. The cause was tried before a Sheriff's Jury, where he pleaded his own case, and in this instance proved he had not a " fool for his client," as he succeeded by his eloquence in reducing the damages to " one farthing." The Jury gave a verdict to that amount, and the costs had been taxed at 91. 103., on which he had been taken in execution. Mr. Commissioner Haitats—Well, how long have you been in prison for the one farthing damages ? The Insolvent— " Seven weeks to-day, Sir." Mr. Commissioner HAnnts—l think if you had been in dicted you would rot have been in prison so long, perhar:s not at all. The insolvent was discharged. THE SUN, LONDON, M IMPORTATION of FOREIGN TIMBER THROUGH the BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN PORTS. A return has been printed of the vessels' names and ton nage, the European Ports whence the timber was originally shipped, the British American Ports to which it was conveyed, the British Ports into which it was imported, and its quantity and description. The number of those vessels was 13, and their united tonnage 3,507 ; ten were originally from Memel, one from Riga, and two from Egersund (Norway) ; nine of them proceeded to Halifax, three to Piston, and one to Sydney (Cape Briton) ; an d t h ree i mporte d t h e i r cargoes into Len can, three into Liverpool, two into Portsmouth, and one each into Gloucester, Newcastle, Sunderland, St. Ives, and Cork. The total quantity imported was 3,838 loads and 355 pieces of fir timber, 2,0.59 pieces of lathwood, and 130 great hundreds of staves. BRITISH MUSEUM. The accounts and estimates relative to the British Museum are just published. The accounts for 1834 show the receipts to have been 18,825/. 4s. 90., and the expenditure 18,5771. Is. 6d. The estimated expenditure for 1835 amounts to 17,796/. We perceive with pleasure that the number of visitors has rapidly and steadily increased. In 1830, it was 99,912 ; in 1831, 147,896 ; in 1832, 210,495 ; and in 1833, 237,366. Th, number of students who visited the Reading Rooms in 1830 was 31,200 ; in 1831, 38,200 ; in 1832, 46,800 ;in 1833, 58,800 ; and in 1834, 70,266. The artists and students who sudied in the Sculpture Galleries amounted to 4,938 in 1831 ; 4,740 in 1832 ; 4,490 in 1833 ; and 5,645 in 1834. The visits to the Print Room show a similar increase. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The recent decision of the House of Commons not to repeal the Malt Tax, gives us citizens a hope that we may fairly calculate that the Window Duties may be abandoned, thereby in full relieving the honest tradesmen from the domi ciliary visit of the Tar Gatherer, as far as residence goes. With respect to the other Assessed Taxes—a man may keep his horse and vehicle or not just as he pleases, or twenty of them as he can afford ; but why a tradesman's horse should pay a tax when the agriculturist's does not, I am at a loss to know. The trade of this country suffered exceedingly through a long war, and the grower of produce was much benefitted; now a long peace has happened, the farmer says agricultural distress happens. Pray how much more has the Land-owners paid and the Parsons than heretofore ? Is it not impiety to to call out agricultural distress, when Divine Providence blesses the land abundantly with fine harvests? Lower the Rent, Tithes and Taxes—the price is quite high enough for the Commercial and Manufacturing population of this kingdom. Advance your price of food, and the Foreigner will undersell you in all markets ; and the labouring manufacturer, the prin cipal wealth of the kingdom, is ruined by starvation from want of employment. L To . revert to the first part of the Letter. I much believe that all restrictions in the way of taxing horses, carriages, posting, &c. &c. if repealed, would give trade an immense in crease, and the farmer's produce an immensely increased con sumption,—equivalent in advantage to Government as the re peal may appear a loss, and to the infinite comfort and convenience of his Majesty's subjects; for every Government may rest assured, that a cry of liberty with excessive and in numerable taxations, will not be believed for ever. We ere getting a requisition signed here for the repeal o Window Duties, agreeable to your hint in The Sun Paper, I am, Sir, yours, Exeter, March 16, 1835 HOMO, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. En ces extremin'is quel conseil dois-je prendre? De pal cote pencher ? a quel parti me rendre?—ClNsza. SIR. —ln a late letter of mine, which you did me the honour o insert, I ventured to affirm that matters in France were be ginning to wear'a serious aspect, and I see no reason to- d ay for abandoning that opinion. It is pretty evident that inge nuity has exhausted its stock of artifice'' in endeavouring to keep affairs going on, at any rate ; but the fertile brain of Du mourier's aide-de-camp I has failed him this time, and we are come, at last, to a full stop. In the interim the nation may shift for itself; the Chamber of Deputies may ring with the indignant exclamations of men who claim to he heard in be half of their country—c'est egal, the pleasure of one individual is to be consulted, his whim must be gratified coute qui coute. M. de Sade may demand explanations, and M. Mauguin con tend till he is hoarse, that the " country cannot go on without a Ministry ;" but the Citizen Monarch is determined boldly to confront and confound his enemies, and (effecting much more than merely to surround his throne with republican institu tions) to save henceforth his people the expense and annoyance of an Administration, by uniting in his own person the duties of King, Dictator, and Despot. The subject, however, is too important to ba made a joke of. In the first place, it is an undisputed fact, that, be the Mi nister who he may, the King himself will be the Premier. It is he who will direct the machine of Government, whence no act will emanate without his seal having been first fixed to it. Here we might stop and take our stand—here is a direct vio lation of the twelfth and most important article in the Charter. Now, let the DuC de Broglie or M. Guizot assume the reins of power, it is quite immaterial as to the choice of the Manne quin ; the sword of Damocles is suspended over their heads; they can move only with the nicest caution, and advance but to a certain point. They may possibly, now and then, sub mit measures approaching to something of a sound constitu tional nature; but ere they appear before the public, they will too visibly bear the impress of the iron hand that last revised them. At the opening of the session M. President Dupin explained, in words not to be misunderstood, his ideas of what a Cabinet ought to be ; that it should be a united one. "pre sided over with dignity, and enjoying independence ;" that " Ministers, at the same time, ought to enjoy the privilege of conferring amongst each other ;" and he concluded his able and fearless speech thus--." I have refused seven times to be Mi nister, and I will refuse a thousand times unless upon these conditions." Louis Philippe, in his address to the Chamber of Deputies, condescends to use the argumenturn ad miserecordiam, speaks of his embarrassments as " great," and throws himself upon the generosity of the Deputies in his contention with "politi-• cal passions." Ido not fancy that this scheme will take ; .the French, whose feelings are so easily worked upon, and who are the first to bestow pity when really required, are also fore most in discovering the ridiculous side of things ; and I think it not unlikely they will respond to this Royal display of tears in the words of Moliere's M. de Bonnefoi—" Vous me fendez le cceur ! ces larmes sont hors de saison, et les - chases n'en soot point encore In effect, who has raised the political storm ? Who has lifted up the lid of Pandora's box ? Have the people, willing to accept the most trifling boon, hemmed in their Sovereign with difficulties? Has the nation, majesti cally reposing after its iplendid victories beneath the broad drapeau tricolore, been a cause of uneasiness to their chosen Chief, and made his crown " a crown of iron"—.his bed " a bed of steel?" Was the Monarch, in his political tour through the Provinces, greeted with-sullen countenances, and disturbed by seditious cries ? Better, perhaps, far better for him had this been the case ; he might then have seen the necessity of conciliating, and struck out into a nobler path. Agitation is a wholesome medicine when administered judiciously ; it fre quently prevents many evils, and serves to keep eyes open which would otherwise too often feel inclined to shut. Yet, Sir, it was not to Louis Philippe that we ever thought this reproof would be necessary ; we deemed not that one of the revolutionists of 89—one of the Generals who fought under the true national flag—had needed so ignominious a spur; in him we, in our simplicity, fancied to have discovered that rara avis—a King without guile—in whose heart were re suscitated all those splendid qualities which made Henry the Fourth the pattern of a Prince. When the keys of the temple of Liberty were presented to him, it was not simply to enter that sacred edifice, and to cast a furtive glance at the statues of the great men that adorn its exterior ; it was to gaze upon them with the fixed and solemn resolution of follow ing in their steps—it was to advance unhesitatingly up to the altar, and there deposit garlands and votive offerings—it was to come forth with a heart purified and softened—ennobled and warmed with the generous blood that flowed in the veins of a Constant, a Foy, and a Manuel. These ought to have been the feelings that animated the Duke of Orleans, when, on the 9th of August, 1830, lie ac cepted the Crown of France amid the thunders of artillery and the shouts of the Marseillaise Hymn. It was in the open air, beneath the deep-blue canopy of heaven, and guarded by the bayonets of the National Guard, and the esteem of all, that the soldier of Jemappes and Valmy declared the sacrifice he was making in leaving a peaceful and happy home, to assume the helm of state ; then also did he swear that every other sen timent should merge in the one predominant feeling of his heart, the love of his country. It is well now to recal these circumstances to memory, because it renders the present re siding policy more inexplicable, and consequently prepares the mind for great changes. No one can for a moment doubt what will ultimately be.the result of the struggle which has begun : it may be months before the decisive blow he struck—BUT STRUCK IT MUST RE, and it requires no prophet to tell us which side will have the victory. Opinion can overcome every thing ; it is the slow disease which wasteth away gradually ; it is the scarcely visible speck in the sky, which spreads, and ushers in the tempest. Opinion brought about the Reform Bill ; it ef fected the French Revolution ; it has been exposed to many a storm, but has still been always triumphant. It does not, indeed, like the foaming cataract, hurry along the mightiest obstacles that oppose its violent course ; but as the stream gently falling upon, eventually wears away the solid rock, it silently glides among our evil habits and institutions, and crushes them, without our knowing whence 'we the destroyer and whither he has fled. " Purpurei metuunt tyranni: MILO. On Monday a meeting of the Short Time Com mittee was held at Huddersfield, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the repeal of the pre sent law respecting the employment of children in factories, and the necessity of passing some other measure more con genial to the interests of both masters and operatives. A second meeting was held on Tuesday evening, upon the same subject, and it is expected that a public meeting will be called. PRESERVATION OF A VESSEL BY A FISH.— The brig Endeavour, Gregory, from Whitellaven to Drog heda, put in on the morning of the Bth instant, in a very leaky state, having been out under the heavy gale of the 7th. Being hauled up the harbour, her bottom was examined this morning when a small fish called the sea fin,' five inches in length, was found pressed into one of the seams under her bottom, and alive. The fish was certainly the means of saving the vessel and the lives of all on board. The fish is preserved. INDAY, MARCH 23, 1835 COURT CIRCULAR.

THE LATE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN FRANCE. —M. de Talleyrand, lately writing to a friend, observed— " The question is not now whether the King reigns or governs ; all we seek to know is whether he can do anything l" It is said that Lord Lyndhurst, previously to deli vering his celebrated judgment in " Small and 'Attwood," which is now attempted to be impugned, shut himself up in a cottage some few miles from town, to enable him to give his undivided attention to the complicated detail of one of the most intricate and. important cases which ever occurred in any of our courts. TEMPERANCE SOCIETY —Meetings for discussing the evils of intemperance continue to be held, and excite much attention. There are more than 700 members enrolled in Nottingham, and 300 or upwards in the villages around, while the number of members in Great Britain and Ireland is about 200,000. THE PARKS.—On Thursday we expressed a wish that the old seats should be repaired, and that additional ones should be placed where they are wanted. A Correspondent has since called our attention to the penny chairs, from which, he says, a considerable sum is derived by a King's messen ger, on whose lady George the Fourth conferred this patent penny-privilege. The negociation between Madame Vestris and Mr. Morris, for the Haymarket, is at an end. Madame, 'on the closing of the Olympic, proceeds to Manchester and Liver pool, in each of which places she is engaged to perform for eight successive night, at 40/. per night. She then visits Bir mingham for four nights; and will probably be, at least, three months engaged in the provinces. Workmen have commenced excavating the centre of the Parliament-square, Edinburgh, preparatory to laying the foundation of a new pedestal on which the equestrian statue of King Charles is to be placed. A boy once complained of his bed-fellow for taking half the lied—" And why not?" said his mother, " he's entitled to half, aint he?" " Yes, mother," said the boy ; " but how should you like to have him take out all the soft for his half ? He will have his half right out of the middle ; and I have to sleep both sides of him." The Rev. Mr. Armstrong, the clergym an w h o h as lately been di s mi sse d f rom the Establishment for irregularity, and who is now well known as the itinerant spouter of Irving ism, has in his peregrinations visited this city for the purposes of forming a Church, and is every night addressinr, rather large congregati ons i n an o ld warehouse in the parish of St. Lawrence. He has already so far succeeded as to be able to point triumphantly to some individuals upon whom the "spirit of prophecy and the gift of tongues" have descended in proof of his ministry. At the meeting on Sunday night, a me chanic rose and exclaimed, " Hah ! bah I' a virgin Church 1 A virgin Church ! hah ! hah ! hah 1 the Lord will rise up a Church here—the Lord will build his Churct —hah I hah ! hah I beautiful amongst women—ye are too much given to women I" He then sat down, and on this rhapsody the preacher dilated as he would on a mysterious passage in So lomon's Song, or any of the prophecies. Similar exhibitions take place almost every evening. —Norwich Mercury. KING'S COUNSEL.--It is understood to be the in tention of the law officers of the Crown to take measures for remedying a grievance which has frequently been the subject of bitter complaint. At present no King's Counsel can be retained for a defendant in cases to which the Crown is either a real or nominal party, without obtaining a license to that effect. This amounts to a very considerable sum, and a client must either bear that expense, or otherwise be deprived of the services of an advocate in whom he is disposed to place the greatest confidence. During the late- Administration Sir Frederick Pollock, and several eminent members of the bar, made an application on the subject to Lord Althorp, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and they received from his Lordship an assurance that on his part no objection existed to the redress of the grievance. Iu another quarter, however, there was some difficulty, and the consideration of the matter was consequently postponed. Upon the propriety of remov ing the necessity of applying for such licenses there is a universal agreement among gentlemen of the long robe. The first King's Counsel is said to have been Lord Bacon, and for several years those who were called King's Counsel were strictly Counsel for the Crown. Then there were only three or four King's Counsel in each Court, but now there are up wards of 20, and the promotion is looked to as a matter of right by all Barristers of a certain standing. Under such cir cumstances, the restraining them from pleading against the Crown without special permission appears wholly unnecessary, and only calculated to inflict in many cases considerable hard ship.—Observer. The doctrine put forth by the Governor of the Bank at the meeting of Proprietors held on Thursday, respecting the effect on the Bank circulation from the issues of notes by Joint-Stock Banks in the country, has been the subject since of much discussion among the leading members of the monied interest. They wholly deny his main position, that such issues have, in fact, any influence on the town circulation, so as to counteract the measures taken to reduce it, which was affirmed by Mr. Pattison to be the case. The real truth is, that the Bank Directors encourage, and are the chief cause of those redundant issues in the country, by lending money at a lower rate there than they do in town. There is something, there fore, peculiarly unreas ona bl e i n ma ki ng pu b l i c complaint, and applying to Parliament for redress of an evil which they them selves have created. They have only to equalize the rate of interest, so far as they are concerned, in Lancashire and in London, to deprive the local issues of paper of all influence upon their transactions. It has, also been noticed that the Governor, in alluding to the failure of his attempts to reduce the circulation, wholly passed over a cause much nearer home, viz.--othe Bank deposits, which were invariably drawn out as the circulation was diminished, and supplied the place of the notes withdrawn, in spite of all that could be done to prevent it. On the wh o l e , thi s l ast expos 6 has-not much raised the character of the Bank administration. Since the meeting on Thursday, Bank Stock h as f a ll en 3 per cent. : it was then 2254, and is now 224 for the Account.— Times. On Saturday, at a vestry meeting of St. Paul's, Deptford, held for the purpose of nominating a collector of the assessed taxes, Mr. Goldfinch, the individual at present filling that office, said, that owing to the difficulty of getting payment, and the number of persons who had to be called on, it occupied his time from Monday morning till Saturday night, while the remuneration was only 241. per annum. Mr. Powle —How often, Mr. Goldfinch, have you called on each person ? Mr. Goldfinch—l called at your house three times. —(Laugh ter.) Mr. Goldfinch having resigned, no one else who could afford the necessary securities could be found to accept the ap pointment. It was here suggested that the salary should be raised to . 501., but the vestry could not agree on any specific fund belonging to the parish from which the difference could be taken. It was eventually resolved, that the fact of no per son being found to accept the situation, owing to the smallness of the salary, should be communicated to the Commissioners of Taxes, accompanied with the expression of a hope that they would apply to Government to obtain a proper remuneration for the person filling the situation. COUNTY RATES.—MARYLEBONE VESTRY.-- On Saturaay . morning the above held a meeting at the Court house, Oxford -street. Captain Wardell was called to the chair. Mr. Hume, M.P., rose to bring before the notice of the vestry the amount of the county rate, and the mode of its assessment and expenditure. His object was to suggest to the vestry to put, themselves on their guard, and that they should possess themselves of the actual state of the burdens in all the counties, in order that they might be fully prepared for the question, prior to its being brought under the notice of the Legislature. —( Hear.) Of the county expenditure, 66,000/. annually, the parish of Marylebone paid 9,6001., one seventh of the whole ; and if they added five or six other metropolitan parishes, they would take in about one-half of the county rates. Now, he could wish the vestry to look at the individuals who now con trolled the rates.—(Hear.) If they turned to the parishes towards Uxbridge to Staines, they would find fourteen magis trates living in districts (so we understood), that did not con tribute 300/. towards the rates.—( Hear, hear.) There was Mr. Wood the father, Mr. Wood the son—(Laughter) —Mr. Wood the grandson, Mr. Wood the nephew, Mr. Taylor, con nectsd with these, and Sir John Gibbon, the son-in-law.— (Renewed laughter.) All these were a party who were con.. staid in their attendance, and who, with their connection, were able to say what amount the expenditure should be ; while this parish had but one or two ma g istrates who attended.—( Hear.) The Hon. Member then referred to the labours of the Com mittee in St. George's parish upon the county rate. Mr. Ken sett moved that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the operation of the county rate, and its bearing, with a view to the same being placed under a wholesome controul, and whether any and what suggestions can be offered towards the better levying and disbursement of the same. The motion was car ried unanimously. The following Committee was then ap pointed :—Captain. Elliot, Dr. Fellowes, Mr. Hope, Mr. Pot ter, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Gibson, and Mr. Hudson ; three to be a quorum MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. DEATII. BY Drowning.—Mr. Alex. Ross, Innkeeper, Rosehall, was drowned in the Kyle of Sutherland, on the evening of Wed nesday the 4th instant. It appears that Mr. Ross had assisted in rowing a boat up the Kyle to Rosehall, laden with po tatoes. The night setting in very stormy, and the tide fast receding, they put in for shelter opposite Inveran about nine o'clock at night. Immediately Mr. Ross and a lad named Urquhart, launched a coble in order to procure refreshments from Mr. M`Ray's at Inveran, for the men who were much exhausted from the cold and wet. On their return, whilst in the middle of the Kyle, a sudden gust of wind caused the coble to swamp, and Mr. Ross, though a good swimmer, almost in stantly disappeared. The lad Urquhart with great difficulty swam ashore. The deceased was only 28 years of age, and it would be impossible to describe the deep sensation that this fatal event has created in the quarter where he was known and universally respected. He has left a widow and family to la his untimely end.—lnverness Courier. THEATRES. TIIE ITALIAN OPERA. This Theatre opened on Saturday night for the season, on wijch occasion a very numerous audience was assembled. The entertainments coirin-,enecd with a grand musical melange. The overture to Semiramide went off magnificently ; and never before did we hear the strength. brilliancy, and precision of the band to finer effect. Next came an aria, "Ah the fosse," (Bonfichi), by Mrs. Seguin, very beautifully given, and well supported by the horn accompaniment of Mr. Platt. Madame Stockhausen followed in a sweet song from Robert le Diable, " Idole de ma vie." The instrumental sestet si hich followed, by Neukom m , was c l ever b ut elaborate, and rather too severe or the general audience. The performers, moreover, with one or two exceptions, seemed to play it at first sight. Ano ther song from Madame Stockhausen, and then came a grand fantasia on the Pianoforte by Moscheles. This was in truth a most finished performance, in which nothing snore could be wished for in richness of tone, splendour and solidity of style, and the most exquisite polish. With such compen sation the length of the composition could well be supported. Some time after the curtain rose for the first act of Tancredi, the most part of which was given with the duet " Frero in contra," of the second in addition. In consequence of the sudden and severe illness of Madame Finklohr, the part of Amenaide was sustained by Madame Galvani, who also seemed to be very much indisposed. As an altera prima donna this lady seems to be a fair acquisition. Her voice is a mezzo soprano, of which the lower notes are the less objectionable), or her higher ones were overstrained in a part that must have • been too high for its natural capability. Mademoiselle Brarn billa's Tancredi was, all circumstances considered, a very good performance. She is a fine commanding figure, and looked very well in the male costume of the character. This was as beautiful as it was judicious. Her voice is a very good contralto, and of considerable compass. The famous "Di Tanti palpiti" was very correctly given; but we know,not how it was she seemed to go through it without feeling, and cer tainly without effect. Signor Curioni played the part of Ergirio. Giubeici's fine voice told well in the only- thinglit had to do—the finale. The ballet of Nina, which succeeded,: was really beautiful in itself, and beautifully given. Pero pirouettes and tours de force were really astonishing.,. - Made • moiselle Clara's Nina was a very clever pantomimic- perform -; ante, and her dancing very respectable. The off' artistes ' _ Adele and Chavignv, are also entitled tr) It fair share if approbation from all those who witnessed their very pretty • movements. DR UR Y- LA ArE. • A numerous audience was col )- ,cted here on Saturday night. in Witness the first represents „ion of a new comedy in five acts,. called Patrician and Ptzrvenzz ; or, Confusion worse Con founded, written by tke author of Paul Pry. We will attempt to describe the Plot. Percy de Mowbray (Mr. Cooper), the heir of Sir 00;aldiston de Mowbray, Bart., the Patrician (Mr. Warde), in the character of tutor in the family of Sir Timothy Stilton, Knight, a retired cheesemonger, the Parvenu (Mr. W. Parren), has Iron the affections of Ellen Rivers ( Miss Lee), a distant relative of the wealthy Knight, and with this young lady's beauty an d v i rtues the heir of the noble house of Mowbray has for some time been desperately enamoured. At the same period Frank Neville (Mr. Vining), the son of a ruined merchant, and Percy's college friend, has obtained admission into the villa of Sir Timothy, with the hope of persuading its ignorant and vulgar owner to allow him to continue his addresses to the purse -proud citizen's lovely daughter, Mary Stilton (Miss Taylor), who regards him with the same attachment she had been allowed to profess when fortune was more propitious to her lover. At a neighbouring inn, kept by Ruby (Mr. Bartley), he had met with Dick Moonshine (Mr. Harley), once an unworthy servant of his, but now exercising his ingenuity in swindling the credulous innkeeper, and imposing upon the equally deceived Aliss Sally Sanders (Mrs. Glover),' another member of the cheesemon gees family, as Captain the _Honourable Augustus lit:- Moonshine, who, after much solicitation, he re-engaged in his service, and had taken with him to old Stilton's fine residence. The rich tradesman, though he wishes to be thought genteel, professes an especial contempt for all gentility unassociated avith wealth, and is on the point of dismissing his daughter's mpoverished lover without ceremony, when she prevails upon him to let Frank stay the day, which, as it will give him an opportunity of showing off his grandeur, he after wards allows. Dick, having found occasion to convince his romantic enamorata, who possesses, as he terms it, the attrac tion of being fat, fusby, and fifty, that he has disguised himself the more easily to enjoy her society, thinking himself secure of her three hundred a year, the particular object which has induced him to follow her from Margate, and lay siege to her heart, is inclined to forward his master's interests, therefore gives the Knight reason to believe that Neville is as rich as ever, and that the individual who represents his ser vant has the honour of being his distinguished friend. Ruby, to whom Dick Moonshine, with the fear of a prison before his eyes, had previously confessed that he was no thing more than the illegitimate son of a woman known to the innkeeper as a questionable character, is that moment announced, and Dick, guessing his errand, prejudices the cheesemonger against his visitor, before he attempts to make his own retreat. Ruby, with a wish to gain the favour of the great man of his neighbourhood, has come, as Dick expected, to inform Sir Timothy that there is a person in his house pos sessing a design to carry off Miss Sally Sanders, who is not what he appears ; but his intelligence is laughed at by the credulous Knight, who is now more thoroughly convinced than ever that Frank Neville's servant is a person of qua lity; and though he marvels at the young gentleman's want of taste, having no desire to spoil Sally's good fortune, he corn mands the astonished innkeeper to afford the person to whom he has alluded every assistance, and he will be answerable for the expense. Soon afterwards a letter arrives at the villa, which its illiterate owner, not being able to decipher, gives to the tutor to read to him. It is from Sir Osbaldiston de Mowbray to Sir Timothy Stilton, acquainting the latter, in terms of proud and di gn ifi e d courtesy, that having'oeen i n f orme d that his f son has lie formed an intimacy with a fe ma l e i n Sir Timothy's amily,intends by his immed;.ate arrival to ut an dto a connection so very objeeti ov Al e. This createsp great enconfu sion. Young Mowbray, well aware of his father's unalterable opinions respecting P.n - bility of birth, hastily resolves to marry his Ellen without delay; and the reti re d s h op k eeper, although somewhat conflised about the object of the letter, flattered at the idea of receiving a visit from so great a man as the Ba ronet, prepares to give him a reception, such as he imagines is becoming his rank. In the meantime Sir Osbaldiston ar rives at the neighbouring inn, and inquires of the landlord whether he can give him any information concerning an indi vidual who, with an assumed name and character, has been paving his addresses to a female residing in the house of Sir Tinzothy Stilton. Ruby, who knows only of Dick's intrigue, commences to acquaint his interrogator with the progress of Dick's attachment to Sally Sanders, when, to his great sur prise, he is interrupted by the Baronet's !acknowledgment that the infatuated youth is his son, followed by the announce ment of his determination to put a stop to the affair at any sacrifice. After an interview with Percy, whom he vainly en deavours to dissuade from his intention, he visits Sir Timothy with the hope of persuading him to use his interest to pre vent the match. The cheesemonger, satisfied that Moonshine and Sally Sanders are the parties to whom the Baronet alludes, wishing to conciliate his distinguished visitor, introduces to him his romantic relative, who, finding her lover a greater per sonage than she had at first imagined, is not at all inclined to meet the wishes of his supposed father. Sir Osbaldiston, dis gusted with her vulgarity, offers in her absence ten thousand pounds to prevent her union with his son, and the Knight pro mises to find a mar, who for that sum will become her husband. Dick Moonshine, having been told b) Ruby of 'the sudden ar rival of his father, a parent of whom he had previously never heard, and of Isis great intentions in his favour, looks contemp tuously at Miss Sally Sanders and her three hundred a year, and readily agrees to do every thing his supposed father, the Baronet, runes. In this mood he is met by Sir Timothy, and prepared for an interview with his distinguished parent. Ne ville, who having confessed his poverty, has been sent about his business, is now hastily recalled by the anxious citizen for the purpose of being enriched with ten thousand pounds and Sally Sanders. The denouement very quickly takes place. Ellen Rivers is discovered to be the daughter of a lady to whom the Baronet in his early years was deeply attached, and bis con.. sent to his son's union is now no longer delayed. The ten thousand pounds is given to Frank Neville to enable him to marry Mary Stilton, entirely to her father's satisfaction, and Sally Sanders scorns Captain the lign. Augustus Fitz- Moonshine as soon as she becomes aware of his true charac ter and of his sinister design upon her three hundred a year. Farren's personation of Sir Timothy was almost too like reality ; it was inconceivably droll. Mr. Warde's acting in the part of Sir Osbaldiston de Mowbray deserves to be con sidered as one of the finest specimens of real comedy witnessed for many years upon the stage. The scenes between these two admirable actors were enjoyed by the audience with a de light to which in a theatre they must have long been strangers. Mrs. Glover and Mr. Harley were sufficiently laughable wits. out rendering the vulgarity of their characters offensive. As the other ladies had little „else to do besides looking pretty, they were seen to marvellous advantage. Although Patrician and Parvenu was received throughout with great applause, and at the conclusion givers out for repetition without a dissen tient voice, we should recommend considerable curtailment. We were glad to perceive the theatre so well attended. One of the Sheriff's javelin men, while ushering the Judges into Salisbury at the late Assizes, was seized with paralysis, and soon after expired. This year the township of Spotland has only had one poor rate, which makes an annual saving of 2,5001. The reformers are in office and have been for the last two years, and have saved upwards of 4,0007., besides paying a debt of 1,8001. which the Tories had contracted. On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Trow bridge, on the body of Mr. Joseph Stoakes, who had destroyed himself that morning by means of a blunderbuss. It appeared in evidence that, a little before six o'clock, he had gone into the Swan public house and had obtained twopennyworth of gin ; that, upon having drank it, he exclaimed, " What a pain I have in my side !" He then withdrew to another part of the premises, after having been asked by Mr. Chadwick, the landlord, if he would have a light. This he refused. In half a minute afterwards, a loud explosion drew Mr. C to the spot, where a most shocking spectacle presented itself. It appear ed that the blunderbuss had been loaded with ten marbles; that it had been placed in contact with the right ear of the un fortunate deceased ; and that the crown of his head had been separated by the explosion ; while the place in which be was sitting was covered with blood and brains ! The deceased had for several years been employed as assistant overseer; and as the time drew nigh when his accounts were to undergo inves tigation, and a great many persons were about to be sum moned as defaulters, it was supposed that the business pressed heavily upon his mind.
