EVENING SUN Plaintiff h a d d one upon the original line, and which would be necessary to undo, the plaintiff was to be The plaintiff now sought to recover a verdict upon th e Count for work and labour done--namely, for doing and undoing certain work upon thepart that had been ren dered useless. It was clear that the plaintiff's claim for that work could not be included in the special contract, because the line was opened on the Ist of May, and at that time all the work under the contract had been exe uted ; but the portion of the work to which he now re ferred, was not completed till the 27th of May. The COURT thought it would be desirable to see the °liginal contact before giving its decision. EQUER.—(T ills DAY). HAZLEWOOD v.

This was an action to recover damages for an assault andfalse imprisonment. Mr. PRIDEALIX having opened the pleadings, Mr. THESIGER stated the case to the jury. The plain tiff was a gentleman studying for the bar, and on the 9th of May had accompanied a friend. Mr. Prior, the barrister, on a walk to Kensington. At about four o'clock in the afternoon they entered the Black Lion Tavern, kept by the defendant, and ordered some refreshment, among other things some lamb, for which they agreed to pay 2s. a head. The amount they owed the plaintiff for the refreshment furnished was 75., and they tendered 75., and Gd. for the waiter. The defendant said their reckoning was Bs., charging them 2s. Gd. each for the lamb. Con sidering this an imposition he refused to submit to it, and the defendant called a policeman and gave them into custody. When they came to the station-house the in spector said he could not take a charge of refusing to pay a reckoning, when the defendant gave them in charge for creating a disturbance in his house. The Inspector recommended Mr. Simpson not to persist in his charge, whereupon the defendant said he would not do so it the plaintiff would pay 3s. more than he had paid already. This was refused, and the plaintiff and Mr. Prior were locked up until nine o'clock, when they were bailed out. The Magistrate, before whom the charge was heard on the following morning dismissed it at once. Under these circumstances the plaintiff had brought his action. Mr. Prior, the first v. itness called, detailed the facts of the case as stated in the opening speech of Counsel. On his cross-examination, witness said that both him self and the plaintiff were Irishinen, but that he was a member of the English Bar. They had agreed, first of all, for two plates of lamb, at one shilling per plate ; the lamb was to be shoulder of lamb, but they sent up bad looking lamb, from the scraggy part of the neck. They eat this all but the bones, before the joint was brought. The joint was the shoulder, and had not before been cut. The waiter complained of their having, after they had finished eating cut the joint all to pieces.: This was what he had been directed by the landlord to say as the reason of the overcharge. The waiter did not state that the charge of 2s. Gd. was made because they had spoiled the joint, but becau * se they had eaten so much. Mr. PLATT—Was there anything left on the joint ? Witness—More than you would eat.—(A laugh.) Wit ness asked the landlord if he thought he was so green, and said to him, Does your mother know you are out ? He said, Old chap, you want a nurse to take care of you. Did not say, Don't you wish you may get your bill, old fellow. Might have said, Don't you wish you may get it. At the station-house witness said, you had better charge fur the two shilling plates. That did not make the 10s., because the agreement was for 2s. Perhaps he might have said, in answer, I will add the two shilling plates if you wish it. Witness was exceedingly quiet in the house. Witness has brought an action. Does not know when it is to be tried. Does not know that it was put off at his own attorney's request. Mr. Atkins is now in Ire land. Witness gave instruction to bring his action the evening after lie returned from the Police-office. Plaintiff did the same. Defendant offered to pay the costs, and make an apology, but that was only half my offer. Mr. Atkin refused the costs and an apology unless he were paid 10/. The terms witness offered were that he should pay 10/. to the charity fund of the Police Court, and make a public apology. This defendant refused to do. They did not offer the defendant their cards. They were perfect strangers to him. No offer for settlement was made to witness but through his attorney. Re-examined —His father is Vice Provost of Trinity College, Dublin. Mr. A. W. Irving, attorney for the plaintiff, and also for Mr. Prior, received instructions to bring the action on the lin May. Mr. Prior's action has been post poned because Mr. Atkin was obliged to be absent in Ireland during the early part of the term. All pro posals for arrangement took place through witness. Mr. Simpson called on him and offered terms of settle ment. Witness said he would see plaintiff. Defendant proposed to make an apology, and pay the expenses, The expenses were about 21. in each action. Witness, after seeing plaintiff and Mr. Prior, proposed to settle on defendant snaking an apology, paying the expenses, and paying 10/. in each action. The la in Mr. Prior's case to be paid into the poor-box at the police-office. Nothing was said about the 101. in the present case. Mr. Simpson did not agree to those terms. He said he would think about it, snd witness never heard from him after. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—IS quite sure that Mr. Simpson was told the money was to be paid to the charity-box. Did not say it was to be paid to witness himself. It was not stated into whose hands the money was to be paid. Has no memorandum of the conversation. Supposes Mr. Atkins's IC/. was for himself. The offer to settle for 101. was made on witness's second visit to defendant. Re-examined—Did not expect to be called as a wit ness in this case. Cross-examined resumed—The attorney, a Mr. Simp son, called on me afterwards, but on the first occasion, to the best of witness's recollection he was not accom panied by the gentleman pointed out. Does not think May, the attorney for defendant, called twice, but is not certain. To the best of witness's recollection Mr. May never called with the gentleman pointed out. Saw the young man several times in the course of the action, but will not swear that he ever in his presence mentioned the poor-box. Samuel. Hampton. police-sergeant, to whom the plain tiff was given into custody by defendant, described the circumstances as detailed by Mr. Thesiger in his speech. Mr. Prior proposed to go to the station-house, as he said he wanted a lark. Mr. Prior said they were lawyers, and knew exactly how far the' policeman could go. Witness asked defendant if he had the address of the gentlemen, and Mr. Prior said they had never been asked for it. At the station-house Mr. Simpson said he had for gotten to charge for two plates. The Inspector asked if they had' created a disturbance. Defendant said they had. The Inspector asked witness if there was a crowd at.the • house. Witness said there was, and the Inspector took the charge. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMPEREY—Witness said to Mr. Atkin he thought he had better settle with the land lord. Mr. Prior interfered, and said, "No, I want to have a lark." Mr. Simpson then went into his house. The mob collected could not be off hearing Mr: Prior saying he wanted to have a lark. At the station-house Mr. Simpson charged them with . having cut and hacked the joint in a very improper manner: They said they did not see any impropriety in having a good appetite. Inspector Brown, who took the charge at the station house, corroborated the testimony of the last witness, as to the occurrences at the station-house. Mr. Simp son said he had no wish to press the charge if they would pay for the refreshment they had had. Witness asked the police-sergeant if there was a crowd outside. The sergeant said Yes, and witness entered the charge against them for creating a disturbance at the house of Charles Simpson. The cell in which plaintiff was locked up had no window. They were there en hour and a half. When before the Magistrate Mr. Simp son said lie did not wish to press the charge. Mr. Atkins said then he should bring his action, and the Magistrate said " You had better not." Mr. Rawlinson was the Magistrate. Defendant entered into a detail of the cir cumstances, but did not press the charge. • Mr. Justice PATTESON (to the witness)—lt is no part of your duty to suggest a charge to any body. This action is principally owing to your officiousness in sug gesting this charge. The police have an excellent nose for smelling oist a disturbance. James Taylor, a sergeant in the Guards, who was in the room in which the plaintiff had dined, stated, that the landlord complained that after gour mandizing a shoulder of Jamb they refused to pay the extra charge. Mr. Prior asked, "Do you think we are green ?" " Does your mammy know you are out ?" " Has she done suckling you yet ? if so, you ought to have a nurse." There was no other disturbance. Both parties were irritated. Cross-examined—Simpson did not attempt to prevent them from going out of the room. Mr. PLATT, for the defendant, asked what did the case amount to ? The plaintiff and his companion, who, for anything that appeared to the contrary, might be supposed not to have dined for two days, went into the plaintiff's house, and with a caution which gentlemen in their state did not usually adopt, they bargained before hand, and on the landlord remonstrating with them on their spoiling the joint, and charging. 6d, a-piece more than agreed for,;Mr. Prior used language which no gentle man at thepar could be supposed to use. Could Mr. Simpson imagine that persons making use of the slang of pickpockets could be moving in - the situation of gen tlemen ? However, he did not give them in charge; they, proceeded voluntarily to the Station House, so that there could be no pretence for the action up to that time.. Arrived at the Station-house the Inspector suggested the charge which was made, and Mr. Simpson, who was no lawyer, signed the charge which had been booked by the Dogberry of the station house. In that he had acted in ignorance of the law, and the verdict must go , against him ; but he thought that one farthing damages would ampy satisfy the jus tice of the'case. The Learned Counsel then commented severely on the , conduct of the plaintiff's attorney in writs before lie had written a letter to de- Suing out tile. fendant, and on the conduct of plaintiff in endeavouring to put 10£ into his pocket at t h e ex p ense of his unfortu uate client. . MT. Justice PATTESON, in summing up, said it was much to be regretted that the subordinate officers of jus tice were not better acquainted with their duty ; had they been so this case would never have been heard ti of. The inspector had no pretence w hatever for suggesting to Mr. Simpson the propriety of m akin g such a charge,. and even had Mr. Simpson voluntari l y made it, Police thesp ctor had no power to take it. The Metropolitan Act gave great power to policemen seein g any nethdintog im proper going on, but those powers w ere confinthe e actually on duty in the street , an d seeing theeonri mission of impropriety, but an officer a t a station-house had no power to lock up an individual becau se a person chose to come and say this man ha 4 been:creating a disturbance in my house. He wished this was more generally known, for people seemed to imagine that the police had the 'power of settling every thin ; and he had recently seen several instances - in which serious inconvenience had • arisen from their improper interference. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages , 40s. ; costs, 40s. :0 By the ship Margaret and brig Claremont, the brigantine Royal Albert, and an Austrian polacca, there have arrived in this colony within two days past, about 700 emigrants from Madeira.—George Town Gazette, August pl. GUILDHALL,-(THIS DAY.) A miserable looking creature, dressed in the work house garb, was placed at the bar, charged with the fol lowing daring robbery : Mr. William Barnet said, he was a watchmaker in Brick-lane, Spitalfields. About seven o'clock yesterday he observed the prisoner looking in through hi s sho p windo w f or near ly a quarter of an hour, when he sue.- denly drove his arm through it, and snatched up a valuable watch which was exposed for sale in the window, with which he ran away, but was eventually taken, after a sharp run, and given into custody of the police. The Constable who took him into custody informed the Alderman that he had been only one week discharged from prison. He was fully committed for trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute.

The "Sportsman" this month contains two engravings—one of which the " Death of the Elk" is finished off with considerable care and nicety, though we would put it to the artist whe ther he has not made the head of the animal somewhat too large. The frontispiece appears to us to be as large as that of a bullock, which surely must be an exaggeration. If we except this blemish, the engraving deserves all praise for the skilful manner in which it is executed. In the literary department we find an entertaining, rambling, sporting article, entitled " The Turf; by a Looker-on." SPORTING REVIE W. This Review, in addition to a Map pointing out the " Meets of the Oakley Hounds," contains coloured portraits of those two celebrated racers, " Satirist and Coronation," and a fantastic sort of engraving, headed " Illustrations of the Equestrian Order." Among its literary articles, which are all more or less of a sporting charac ter, is an amusing paper by Lord W. Lennox, "Gleanings from my Travelling Journals ;" and a passable poem by Sir John Dean Paul, on the subject of the "Hunter." NEW MONTHLY BELLE ASSEMBLEE. Contains a full-length portrait of Viscountess Villiers, eldest daughter of Sir Robert Peel. The face is that an arch, lively brunette, and the figure is tall, slender, and full of grace. Whe ther the portrait be like or not, we cannot un dertake to say. The prose and verse communi= cations of the Number are neither better nor worse than usual. FARMER'S MAGAZINE. A miscellany devoted exclusively to the con sideration of agricultural questions which, gene rally speaking, it discusses with clearness and simplicity. The present Number contains a use ful communication on " Cyder Making." THE POLYTECHNIC JOURNAL. Dr. Winslow, author of the " Anatomy of Suicide," and other interesting treatises, gives some amusing details on " Diet arid Dietetics," in this number. He briefly adverts to the most notorious gourmands and great drinkers, fur— nishing, occasionally, striking anecdotes respect ing them, some of them but little honourable to human nature. The subject of diet leads him to treat of its effects, and the remedies for particu lar diseases. Gout is as much caused by exces sive eating as by intemperance in drinking,' and, in his opinion, persons afflicted with this disease should never dine out. This would be an awful punishment to many, and he therefore prescribes another remedy which, we believe, is the most effectual yet discovered for preserving health, keeping down obesity, chasing away gout, and all the ills that flesh is heir to. It is thus given in the form of an anecdote respecting a Parisian dog doctor. Ladies, he says, were in the habit of bring ing their lap dogs to this son of Esculapius. " The man takes the dogs to his hospital, locks them up in an airy room, gives them some water, a little bread and a dry bone to pick. By way of exer cise, he makes them skip about two or three times a day, by means of a little horsewhip, dexter ously applied. At the expiration of a fortnight, he takes them to their mistresses quite well, active, and healthy." The articles on " The Office of Coroner," and " Smoke, its evils, and possible prevention," will also be found in teresting. LITERATURE. SCOTTS PROSE WORKS. Cadell, Edinburgh, 1841. We have here Sir Walter Scott's tragic story of the " Bride of Lammermoor," printed both in an octavo and a duodecimo form, as also the fourth part of his " Life of Napoleon." As usual, they are neatly got up, and are certainly the best, as they are the cheapest, edition of Si Walter's prose works that have yet made thei r appearance. POPULAR LIBRARY of MODERN AUTHORS. Whittaker, London, 1841. The present Number of this useful Miscellany forms the Fourth Part of Daubigne's well-known " History of the Reformation," ably translated from the French by Mr. Kelly, of Trinity Col lege, Dublin. TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF SURREY, Patt XL—Ede, Dorking, 1841. The literary department of this periodical is very carefully conducted, and the accounts of the various churches, ruins, parks, and antiqui ties of the county of Surrey, circumstantial to a degree that shows what close attention has been paid to the subject.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-A cause of this description, embracing circumstances of a peculiarly interesting character, is likely to be tried during the present Term. The plaintiff is a young lady about 24, and said to be highly accomplished. The faithless swain is a venerable Adonis of eighty-four. The letters are likely to afford much amusement, being a compound of Pickwick and the Scriptures, from both of which copious quotations are made. The defence will, it is understood, be that the lady gave undue encouragement to a younger swain, and that the' gentleman's purse, and not his person, was the object of her regard.

Again has the, genius of the Kembles asserted its supremacy ; and Covent Garden, the scene of the tri umphs of Mrs. Siddons, of John Kemble, of Charles Kemble, and of his eldest daughter, last night wit nessed a triumph as great as any of them, in the debut of Misa Adelaide Kemble, a y ounger daughter of the veteran Charles. To say this younslady is the•firstEnglish singer we have, is but faint praise.. The English stage has not, and; in our remembrance, never had a prima donna that could at all be compared to her. She chose for her debut the part of NOrma in Bellini's opera of that name. Considering that this part has always hitherto been con sidered the exclusive property of Grisi, with whose ad mirable delineation of it the English musical public had become perfectly familiar._ it was a somewhat hazardous step on the part of a debutante thus at once to chal lenge the very highest, place in her profession. The event, however, has fully justified her. A more com plete triumph was never achieved, and Miss Adelaide Kemble, both as an actress and a singer, has shown her self worthy of the name she bears—of the fame which in Italy she has already acquired. In personal appearance she resembles the Kemble family much more strongly than did her sister Mrs. Butler. Indeed, when as Norma she stood beneath the Druidical oak, wrapt in holy contemplation, her features bore a marked resemblance to those of Sir Joshua Reynolds' portrait of Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse. Her voice, which is of great compass and power, is, at the same time, exquisitely sweet and expressive, and has been cultivated to the highest pitch of excel lencef baplevro at modulation, te a h n i n d se possesses t e that g t mosto a herw remote emil se oep s rtue:e part an softest tete stdistinctly f tones,exquisitet power o as; audi ble dosi house. o e She - liiSS;Wise possesses that remarkable distinctness of enunciation, which characterises the Italian school of singing, so that in the most rapid passages every word She sings is clearly heard and appreciated. Her tragic poSvers, for - the exhibition of which the part of Norma affords full scope, are very great, fully equal, if not su perior, to those of her sister. Had she not been the greatest of English singers she would have been one . of the first of English actresses. Her last scene with Pollio was one of the most impas sioned, pieces of acting ever seen, and the touching pathos with which, at the conclusion, when called on to denounce the traitress, she utters the words "'Tis Norma . ," thrilled to the heart. Such was the intense 'feeling she hail inspired—such the breathless stillness betokening that le that when she plucked the wreaths from her brow, its fall on the stage was distinctly heard all over the , house. Silence such as this is the highest applause an audience can bestow. She was ably supported by Miss Rainforth, as Adalgisa, and W. Ha ri:on and Leffler as follio and Oroveso. At the fall of the curtain she was loudly called for, and was led forward by Cooper, when the whole house rose to greet her, and several bouquets were thrown upon the stage. Miss Rainforth, Harrison, and Leffler were sub sequently called for, and were all loudly applauded, and Cooper announced the opera for repetition every Tues day, Thursday, and Saturday. The opera is got up with all that exquisite taste for which the management of this theatre is justly celebrated. The manner in which the chorusses were given reflect the highest credit' on Mr. Tully, and the opera was excellently conducted by Mr. Benedict. The house was crammed to suffoca tion; and long before the rising of the curtain there was not a place unoccupied in any part of the theatre. (From the Times.) The audience that was collected last night to witness the debut of Miss Adelaide Kemble was one of those crowded assemblages that are seldom collected but on the most special occasions, such as a Royal visit, or the return of some established favourite from America, or the reappearance of Miss Kemble's father, two seasons ago. The pit, from the denseness of the crowd which filled it, and the small number of females that were mingled with the throng, presented to the eye above one thick black mass ; every seat in every box was oc cupied, and the slips were filled to the very back. The feelings of this huge audien ce we re influenced by the preparedas associations ti o n t s o with lv el c m t h e nnoatm only n o l ) the debutant e , but Mr.f " Kemble ; " they w ere , Raper's overture—every performer on his and her en trance—everything, in fact, as connected with Miss Kemble's debut. Her reception was magnificent ; the inert, black mass in the pit burst into a waving sea of hands and handkerchiefs, one welcoming sound was ut tered by hundreds of voices, and her entrance was rather that of the chief person in a triumph than of a yet untried vocalist, about to undergo the ordeal of public opinion. Encouraging as this brilliant demonstration must have been, it was still calculated in some measure to increase the anxiety of the debutante. The expectations were so great that it was not impossible they might not be ful filled ; the very associations of the family name required exertions that should still sustain it. Miss Kemble seemed for a few moments overcome by the excess of applause; and rested on the altar before the sacred oak. During her first reeitestive she scarcely had full power over her voice, and her reading was rather monotonous, but in Costa Diva she at once took the position as a prima donna, which sire sustained all the evening, and which places her beyond comparison with any singers on the English stage that have been heard for many years. Miss Kemble differs not only in degree but in kind from the English singers that have lately ap peared—she is an Italian vocalist introduced to the. Eng-. • lisp theatre. The cultivation of her voice, the command she has acquired over it, the power of subduing it, are Italian ; in her very' tones there is a sound of Italy. Her voice is powerful, though not always equal, especially in the higher range, when she occasionally appears to have reached her highes,t pitch ; but there were times when these high notes viere of the most exquisite quality, especially in the ascending passage at the close of Costa Diva. Some of her middle notes are of surpass ing richness and melody, thrilling through the house and coming home to all. In the great dramatic scenes of the, , opera it sometimes appeared as if her physical strength, was 'not fully equal to every_ expression, but her intone .tiOn was always true, and, whatever the task, she alwayl, 'accomplished it with effect. It is a great q Ualificatibis in her that she takes the stage with confidence, with a full knowledge of what she has to do, that , she is thoroughly accomplished, that nothing is left to chances but that she is everywhere well trained and educated. Her execution is always true, always given with the finish of a mistress, and her ornaments, though evincing no original conception, are neat and graceful. She takes her position as an artist trained in the highest school,, and in that position she stands alone. Her acting . is to be praised with far more qualification than her singing. It is, in fact, little more than a very clever imitation of Grisi. The expression of defiance by a peculiar movement of the head, the pointing out of the hand, was all Grisi ; the very accentuation to denote passion was that of Grisi, and, we must add, that the imitated attitudes were not always of the most graceful kind. And perhaps it may be mentioned, as a qualifica tion of Miss Kemble's performance altogether, both vocal and histrionic, that it is more the expression of the school than of the individual, that it is rather education than nature that speaks. But such a scholar and of such a school we have no other on the English stage, and we repeat that Miss Kemble stands alone as the English prima donna. The same cultivation, the same command over the voice, the same thorough knowledge, does not exist in any other of our vocalists. (From the Chronicle.) The first appearance of Miss Adelaide Kemble as a dramatic singer, before an English audience, has been tis successful as her warmest friends could desire. Her welcome last night by an excessively crowded house was most kind and cordial ; and her efforts, during the whole evening, were rewarde by loud and incessant applause. Miss Kemble's very name was a passport to public favour. It is a noble name—a title of honour in the aristocracy of genius ; and the family who have so long borne it have held a place in society Worthy of their talents. Miss Kemble, as the scion of an honoured stock, must have gained general good will, largely increased by what is known of her 0011 personal merits. It is not, we confess, with'pleasure that we find the I debut of one who promises to be a great English vocalist made the occasion for bringing forward an English ver sion of an Italian opera—especially of the present school of that country. • We do not blame her for what, all circumstances con sidered, was probably as goOd a thing as she could do; though the attempt must be considered as having been somewhat hazardous, seeing that Madame Schroeder Devrient, with all her powers and popularity, made what was very little better thee a failure here, in the very .same attempt, a lbw years ago. - But Miss Kemble's mu sical education has bet]) Italian, and she has evidently acquired a thorough (M7(ltigh we hope nut an exclusive) Snowledste•of the school to which Norma belongs; and . it was natural that she should desire to make her first appearance in a part which certainly affords great svppl for the display.of her powers, not only vocal but trample.;,tic. Highly as we estimate Miss limbic's , qualities singer, we estimate her powers as an actress stilt higher. :The is a Kemble worthy of the name. She has the finer ra grace of deportme nt — and the peweF,of con- ; , eeiving and expressing , with truth and beatify , every lig g n i i c ty h a e n a d d of the Kembles—the classical shade of feeling and passion. To those — qualities are superadded a manner thoroughly Italian ; and the, re sult is a resemblance to the style of Madame Pasta, vhich cannot fail to strike every one who remembers hat transcendMif actress. Miss Kemble's Norma is the finest personation of the character we have, ever seen. With theTorce and grandeur of Grisi, it combines lelicacy and tenderness which Grisi cannot reach. In . lepicting " the fury . of a woman scorn'd," Grisi cannot .)e surpassed; but in the scene where the wretched N - orrria hangs over the bed of her 512eping infants, Miss keinble's tenderness was something of which Grisi did. l pot even give an idea. The whole representation was gull of traits of delicacy and feeling which, to us at least, save the character a new aspeci, and a beauty and in -.crest unfelt before. As a singer, Miss Kemble has given us as much sur prise as delight ; and, were we to give full expression to .vhat we feel, we should run the risk . of being charged with writing more under the influence of temporary ex fief:, 1 l e f a c a t a li v litement than of sober j ud g ment. It is for this reason, Ind this reason only, that we will not say that w e con hich she u ses w i t h t h e with. b ll ) 3 . iider Miss Kemble's levimtho N s at o lbl r e m as a au , ftei i ft n uy, l ttihlrelationaatt she is rs, e singinggnliefgifted we NT3 ' ut :l ttui a vr s ee a nm e i t at i yi ng i ;kill and effect of a cons ummate artist.

Throughout the whole opera she exhibited the same-exeelleneo ; thoush . towar& the close her vocal bfai& e 5 see mss strength. in!) a little impaired e. t . he m s, as (From the Post.) Every part of the house was densely populated ; the slips, galleries, and pit being "crammed to the crushing point," and the private and public boxes all filled with elegant, and often-distinguished parties. The people of literary, musical, or fashionable note, whom we recog- nised among the audience were most numerous ; and there seemed a general and pervading anxiety to see how another of " the gifted Kembles" would acquit herself of the arduous character which she had prepared to sustain. We were glad to hail this feeling. The re spect and reverence which hang about the "Kemble" name have been gathered by the public, no less from memories of the past, than from the presence of that living genius, which seems the heirloom of the family—and to announce a fresh :aspirant for fame and honour, under that auspicious nomenclature, was to arouse general ex pectations of.great promise, and almost to foredoom the certainty of groat success. Hence it was delightful to see how' the' crowded multitude rose, with one common voice, to . hail . the young debutante, when she presented herself in the second scene of the opera—how they gave to her the first warm encouragement which told her the strength of 'her name, and fortified her into the sustain ing of her powers with a freedom, genius, and brilliancy that has not often been witnessed upon the English musical stage. The opera selected was .Norma, and of ccurse the part sustained by Miss Adelaide Kemble was that of the Druidess. It could hardly have been more finely filled. Miss Kemble has a beautiful soprano voice, full and clear in its quality, and so com pletely under her control as to admit of her making it most eloquently expressive of the emotions which she has to indicate in her acting at the same time. With a clear and distinct utterance, she blends the very expression, in eye, attitude, and gesture, and pure harmonious modu lation, of what she utters should convey. Mean ing and music break upon you both at once, and you catch the one as easily as you are charmed with the other. In a word, we may say her school is perfect. In appearance she is prepossessing—with a figure more embonpoint than tall, and with the decided " Siddons face." In so far as her powers were evoked by the part of Norma, she displayed a mingled energy and grace ; .but we are persuaded that in an acting sense, she is capable of even more greatness than that character calls forth. Beautifully she commenced with the recitative, " What seditious voices ;" .and, soon after, at the close of a splendid burst of declamation, ending with, " While the sacred branches I sever," she dwelt on the A in alt with all the feeling and fervour which marked Grisi's delivery of the same striking passage. The prayer was most impressively given ; and the aria, "To Norma's arms returning," steadily and faultlessly sung. In the duet, " Together we will die," she shared her laurels with Miss Rainforth ; the exquisite singing of both ladies eliciting a loud encore. The second act was rather one of sustained feeling than violent emotion, and very finely the prima donna worked it to its climax, so that when the curtain fell, it was clear that all hearts were one, and the name of Kemble once more shook the old walls of Covent Garden. (From the Herald.) On the rise of the curtain, the procession of Druids, headed by the Arch-Druid, Oroveso (Mr. Leffler), and guarded by Gallic chiefs„'soldiers, &c., entered, invoking the prophetess and priestess Norma ; the chorus and solo, together with the subsequent air (in the second scene) by Pollio (Mr. Harrison), were very fairly sung. These and the preparatory chorus to the entrance of Norma having been disposed of, Miss A. Kemble made her appearance amidst great acclamations of wel come, but, as might be expected, trembling and some what unnerved. The duet between Pollio (Harrison) and Adalgisa (Miss Rainforth) in the next scene was extremely well sung, both these performers appearing to emulate the desire which has been so spiritedly manifested to show what an exclusively English company can do in the way of opera. The scene with the children, and the subsequent duet with Adalgisa, confirmed the promise given by Miss A. Kemble's first attempt, and as the performance pro ceeded, it became evident that the debutante was quite equal to her undertaking. In the second act, with an occasional weakness of intonation and failure of power (arising probably from tremor and the exhausticn re sulting:from that cause), the same marked energy and decided command of- voice characterised Miss A. Kem ble's performance, more especially in the duet (" Deh con to") between herself and Adalgisa (which was en cored) and in the beautiful duet (" In mia man") with Pollio, which immediately follows the former. The curtain at length fell to perhaps one of the most satisfac tory debuts that was ever witnessed, as far as realisation of the expectations raised by previous report is concerned. Of the instruction which she has received there can be but one opinion, both as to its judicious adaptation to the peculiar quality of her voice, and as to the taste which has governed the development of the ornamental part of her tuition. With power to execute all the various graces which abound in the florid compositions of Bellini and other modern Italian composers, Miss A. Kemble seems to possess the good taste and moderation to suppress every note that does not come strictly within the scope of the feeling which is to be conveyed to her auditors. In conclusion it may be observed that if the success. which we have stated it to be our opinion to have attended this young lady's first appearance on our stage, be con firmed by her subsequent performances, the dramatic art Will have received a most valuable accession, , for both her person and her features are such as to carry their own recommendation with them, the latter, as is often the ease, passing . over her own immediate progenitors (Mr. and Mrs. C. Kemble), and being said to bear a very strong resemblance to •her paternal grandsire, Mr. Roger Kemble, whose first appearance on the stage cannot be dated far short of a century from this time. ./Nmongst the distin g uished persons who honoured Miss A. Kemble's debut by their presence in the private boxes, were Lord and Lady Burghersh, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Duke of Brunswick, Lord Castlereagh, the Earl of Harrington and his lady, Sir Lumley Skeffington, Mr. F. Mills, Mr. B. Montagu, Mrs. sProctor, and a dress circle crammed with fashion and rank. The services they rendered in the preservation of peace are important, and will, no doubt, meet with due recom pence.- They not only performed the garrison duty in the absence of the regular troops, patrolling the streets at all hours of the night, but when the counter-revolu- ' tion took place, those young men of the town who could be spared from military duty manned their boats, and, depending entirely on their own resources, issued forth for the purpose of intercepting the fugitives who were trying to escape from the effects of the storm they them selves had raised. The energy and courage of those vo lunteers were not manifested in vain. Several important captures were made from the 21st to the 23d instant. General Alcala left Vittoria on the 24th, for the pur pose of proceeding to Bilbao. There seems to be no doubt existing of the intention of the Regent to visit San Sebastian. It is said that the contribution levied on Bilbao amounts to more than 5,000,000 of reels. This unhappy city will have paid dearly for its share in the insurrection. The military commission for the trial and punish ment of persons concerned, directly or indirectly, in the late insurrection, and alluded to in the sth article of the bando of Gen. Rodil, is named for San Sebastian. The military force destined to be stationed in the Basque provinces will amount to eighteen battalions, and twelve will occupy Navarre. Several promotions in the army have already taken place. The battalion of Na tional Guards of Vittoria has bein dissolved by General Alcala, and orders have) been. l issuPtl that their arms be delivered up immediately. The towns of the province are also ordered to give up whatever arms they may pos sess within six days front the date of the order, under a penalty 'of 1,000 dollars for every musket which shall not be delivered ; up within the period just mentioned. A young man, named Vial was shot in Bilbao on the 25th inst., by order of Martin Zurbano. The crime of which he was accused was, that he had publicly, and in the hearing of several military men, severely censured the conduct of Zurbano, in shooting the six minones of Alava, as well as the seven nationals of Bilbao, who had fired on the . General as he entered the town, and who were subsequently taken with arms in their hands. The unfortnuate,,indivldual who thus paid with his life for an unguar f. led, And, under the circumstances, an imprudent expreiston, Was formerly a captain in the Carlist army, but had long since retired from the service in conse quence of, the less of a. leg during the second siege of Bilbao, in 1§36. lie had been residino , in St. Jean de Luz with his family until the period of the treaty of Bergara ' when, availing himself of the benefit of its con ditions, he .returned to Bilbao,• and fixed his residence there. The father of Vial was in 1834 Charge d'Affaires in London, and I believe for some time after . Secretary to the Spanish Embassy. General O'Donnell was married about three years since to the widow of a Catalan manufacturer, who died not in flourishing circumstances. According to the customs and laws of the province, the lady after his death is entitled to receive the dowry she had brought her husband, and this claim. is satisfied in preference to any other against the estate. The interest of the dowry of Madame O'Donnell, together with the half-pay of her present husband, was barely sufficient to afford a decent subsistence ; and even from these slender resources he allowed his mother and sister a small sum monthly,which formed their sole dependence. The father of General O'Donnell was a General of Artillery, and after his death his widow received the usual allowance granted to the widows of general officers, until the break ing out of the civil war, when she forfeited all claim to her pension for ever on account of the very dis tinguished part she took in favour of Don Carlos. Dur ing the war she held some place of honour with one of the pretender's family, and after the treaty of Bergara she retired to Bayonne, after having been robbed of all she possessed by the disbanded Carlist soldiers. Since then she has been living in Bayonne with her only daughter, also a widow, and with two children, and en- tirely dependent on her son. The result of the late at tempt at revolution has consequently left her in a desti tute condition. Urbistondo, who is connected by marriage with the family of the late General Cordova, finds himself in an equally distressed situation. Whatever property he possessed he lost, it is said by gambling, that vice so common among Spaniards. He had little or nothing beyond the allowance secured to him as a retired Lieute nant-General by the treaty of Bergara, and of which he is, of course, for ever deprived. Jauregui (El Pastor), who is now residing at Cambo, in the family of a relative, possesses some trifling property in the province of Guipuscoa, in right of his wife, from whom he has been for many years separated. It is said that this property will be confiscated. THE CONSPIRACY IN BELGIUM We have received some Belgian papers, which contain further particulars respecting the alleged conspiracy. It appears that the Ministry had received information some days ago that an attempt would be made to intro- duce arms and ammunition into; Brussels, and on Friday. a seizure of this of this description was effected. Serena domiciliary visits were paid, and amongst them one to the house of a Captain de Crehen, the Commandant of the Compagnie des blesses de Septembre, in the rue d'Ar gent. The Captain was absent, but his room was opened by a locksmith, by order of the police, but who had in structions, it is said, to take possession of a sum of money which. was in it. In the meantain Captain de Crehen was arrested, but whilst the police were conveying him to the Ministry of the Interior, he made his escape, and took refuge in a house inthe rue des Parissiens, but finding himself surrounded, he surrendered, and was taken to the Petits-Carmes, wherele underwent several inter- rogatories. On the same day the police discovered, in one of the faubourgs, two pieces of cannon, and a quan tity of gunpowder, and also the house in which the cast- ing of 13 - a11; had been carried on. 'Several other arrests were made on Friday, and in the course of the night 200 pounds of gunpowder were seized in the. house of the ex- General Vandersmissen at Etterbeck. On Saturday a quantity of arms, including two 'portable howitzers and several chests of balls, gun matches, and iron instruments for throwing amongst cavalry to wound the horses, were seized. It n•as said that most of these chests had been EVENING SUN WEST INDIES. Her Majesty's picket Magnet, Lieut.

Her Majesty's packet Seagull had arrived at St. Thomas, and expected to leave with the next West India mails on Oct. 7. The French Government has issued an Ordinance which appears in an official advertisement in the Bar badoes papers. The following are the chief contents : " The port of Port Louis, situated in Grand-terra (Guadaloupe) is open to the importation .laf ;foreign mer chandise enumerated in the tables A B C, attached to the ordinance of the Bth September, 1839, under the con ditions and restrictions set forth by the same ordinance, and by that of the sth • February, 1826, as regards the importation of the same merchandise in the other parts of the French Antilles already open to foreign commerce." The failure of Messrs. William Jenkins and Co., of London, we are sorry to learn ' has had a very injurious effect on several of the West India merchants, and other individuals who had extensive and confidential dealings with the unfortunate hcuse in question. The House of Assembly at Jamaica had been pro rogued by proclamation from August 31 to October 5. We extract the following from our advice& and from the Jamaica Papers:— " CARTITAGENA.—By the arrival of the Jane Ann, at Kingston, on Thursday last, we have intelligence from Carthagena to the 7th ult. Carmona still continued to blockade the town, and prevented the vessel landing her cargo. The Pickle and steamer Hydra were both there ; but remained passive. The Attorney-General, it is under stood, has given his opinion that the blockade ought not to be recog,nissd, and that all commanders of her Majesty's ships would be perfectly justified in protecting vessels carrying provisions under the British flag; but in the ab sence of positive orders from the Commodore, they are f. afraid of the responsibility. In the meantime, what little - trade there is between the countries suffors.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.—Our municipal election, which took place yesterday, has terminated in a more decisive victory to the Tory party than they themselves antici pated. Out of the 16 councillors elected, 13 are Tories, and three are Reformers. The three successful Re formers are Mr. Wm. Preston, who was returned without opposition for Vauxhall-ward; Mr. John Holmes, who was elected for Castle-street, also without opposition; and Mr. Henry Holmes, who triumphed in Exchange-ward by a majority of 21 over his Tory opponent, Mr. J. Ridgway'. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. I.—(Tory Statement.)—The election for town councillors, in the room of those re tiring from office, took place this day. In consequence of - the unsettled state of the Charter and the utter contempt into which the Corporation has fallen, the Conservatives refused in the slightest degree to interfere, so the Whig- Radicals and ex-Chartists had the game all to themselves. yoRK, N ov .

In St. Lucie a most appalling shock of an earth quake (as described by the papers of that island) had been experienced on the 18th August.

The pieces selected were The Wreck of the Heart, Niztnre and Art, and Jonathan Bradford, Mr. .osbaldiston 'playing Jonathan. '' .. The evening's amtvements concluded with a number of Child's " PiAaolving Views," which were much ap 'plauded. Mr.' S. F. Saville has announced his benefit for this diy :week, and from his popularity at this theatre we hare no doubk but the house will be full. SPAIN... MADRID, OCT. 25.—Marshal Salditnha arrived at Ma drid this evening, the Government is supposed to be at a loss what to make of the object of his journey hither, and, although entertaining friendly feelings towards him individually, it will receive with- ,peculiar caution any communications that we may have to make from his Court, which, it is well known was, jointly with France, in league with the conspirators. The funds have not kept up their Saturday'S prices, although about equal to' 335,0001. sterling were done, closing at 26 for cash, and 26f at sixty days. The Barcelona accounts, received this evening are of a less alarming character, inasmuch as that the Board of Vigilance • and Security fully submits to the orders for warded by Government ; it has caused the draught of men for army recruits to be forced, and has suspended the re-organization of the Battahnes Franeos, which would have entailed considerable expense on the country. It has placed fifty thousand dollars at the disposal of Go vernment, from the proceeds of the forced loan on the ultra-retrogrades ; and, lastly, there is every probability that whenever the Ministers deem fit to send an order for the dissolution of the Junta, it will be complied with. A subscription, amounting to 1,500 dollars, has been raised in Barcelona for the small detachment. of Alabar deros which so bravely . defended the Queen's sister. General the Marquis Vallehumbroso, as captain, and other officers of the corps of Alabarderos, accompanied the municipal corporation of Madrid to the theatre last. evening, after the grand entertainment given by the latter. The officers of the National Guards had the honour yesterday of presenting the following congratu latory address to the youthful Isabella :____ " Madam—The National Militia of Madrid, whom I have the honour of representing, congratulate your Majesty upon the success which has attended the faithful efforts of the nation, in baffling the odious plots set on foot for the destruction of our institutions and of their 'happy promise ; taking advantage of the' honour of being admitted to her Majesty's august presence, we re turn thanks to Providence for preserving your days and those of your august sister on the fatal night of the 7th. RgPi4 As the bolt, we, the faithful National Militia of heroic Madrid, were the first to rush to the aid of your Majesty, and the conspirators fell into our power, and into that of the loyal servants of the Throne. We Lave on, this occasion proved that, like as the National Zlititia of other countries, we would not suffer any attempt against our Sovereign, nor against the liberties and the rights •of the Constitution. • The Constitution and- the Queen, the idols of our predeliction, for whose ,preservation the National Militia of Madrid and that of the remainder of the kingdom are prepared to shed their best blood. Madam, we are proud that the Govern ment has confided to us the care of your Royal person and of your throne, and we will fulfil our important functions with true loyalty and respect, and with the heroic valour of which the brave Halberdiers have set us so worthy an example. At an age so tender as yours, Madam, the virtues of subjeats, their heroic actions, and their sacrifices in defence of their Sovereign, become indelibly engraven in the magnanimous memory of those Princes destined to render a n ation happy. In conse quence, the National Militia of this capital hopes your Majesty will never forget that to its affections and to its courage did your Majesty's precious life, and that of your Royal sister, in the night of the 7th, owe their preserva tion. In this hope we pray your Majesty to receive the expression of our promise ever to be ready to defend the throne and the Constitution." Her Majesty replied in the following terms:— " I am extremely satisfied with the sentiments of loy alty and affection manifested by the National Militia, and by the people of Madrid, and am persuaded. that, in what circumstance soever, they will know how to.. defend the Constitution, the throne, and my person." Madrid and all the provinces are .perfectly quiet. O'Donnell's conduct towards the city and inhabitants of Pampeluna, is that of a heartless ruffian,—of a diSap pointed villain, who vents his ire on the harmless; and should he fall into the power of the Government troops and be shot, what will the world say to it? The Regent writes to his Duchess front Vittoria, con veying a hope that the whole affair in Navarre will be ,ever . before the end of th e month. " BAYONNE, OCT. 29.—The exertions, of the National Guards of San Sebastian from thead, 'the day when the tidings of gip insurrection in Pampeluna, reached them, up to tho. ; pOO,PCS I .

The Brussels Observcatie; , isfter stating the facts of the Atirests, says:—" At the time of the fetes of September a report was spread that a political movement was to break out' find disturb the rejoicings. The conspirators were, .it was said, divided as io the object of their - efforts. Some wished for a republic, others for a restoration. The only ,thing upon which they were agreed was the overthrow 'of the throne of King Leopold. Once conquerors of the ,Government, they were to decide among , themselves to whom the fruit of this common triumph should be ad judged, to a republic one and indivisible, or to the King of Holland. All this was stupid in the extreme. To day the same version is circulated concerning the move ment, which was intended, as it is reported, shortly to break out." The King of the Belgians is stated by this paper to be at his seat of Ardennes, and was to go this week to St. Hubert, where his Majesty has recently bougkt some land, and where he intended to shoot for several days. " There is no longer any mention," it adds, " Of another visit of the King to Paris." Theßrussels papers of Sunday contain the following:— " BRUSSELS, OCT. 31. " We were in error in stating that the two brothers of General Vandersmissen had been arrested. One mer chant had only been taken. Madame Vandersmissen and her son have been arrested. General Lecharlier has also been arrested. lie had just arrived from Liege. " The number of person; already in:icustodi is 14. We learn that arrests have been made at Liege." A letter from Brussels in the Debut's - says The Government has received numerous revelations, ing it that a movement was to be made simultaneously at Ghent and Brussels ; but this senseless conspiracy has been defeated'by the discovery of its chiefs. Couriers were - sent to the King at Ardennes with the first news of the affair. , He .will no doubt immediately return to Brussels, where lie is anxiously expected. It is feared that some ramifications of the plot have extended to the army, although in general it is well disposed and loyal. The first effect produced by the news was general hila rity ; for every one believed it to be a joke, though a very bad one. But we were obliged to give credence to the proofs adduced." The Quotidienne has a Brussels letter stating that when M. de Crehen had an audience o n Saturday of General Buzen, Minister of War, he abused him, and at length proceeded to acts of personal violence against that officer. The Globe of Brussel,says that the following persons have been arrested in that capital, in addition to those already mentioned :—M. Van Laethem formerly aide de-camp to General Lecharlier, in the army of Portugal ; M. Van Swae, son of the late burgomaster of Jette. It adds, " among the persons implicated in this Conspiracy, there are to be seen by the side of the Orangeists men. who played first parts in the days of September, and malcontents of all parties. As to the nature of the' plot nothing is yet said, and the strange pelt mete of the . names that frrure in it scarcely allows of an opinion being formed upon ih" The' Pdtrible Mlt 'of Brussels supplies us w i t h t h e this morning (Saturday)'resting men , ffollowinglftirth4" thhculars relating t o th e conspi fo'thratik t he i accused 'of Plotting against the state.

We learn that arrests have been made at Liege. The troops were on Friday evening confined to their barracks. The quarter of Notre Dame aux Nieges was set in commotion by seeing the orderlies summoning the officers who are in lodgings in the neighbourhood of the barrack of the An nunciades. Colonel Capiaumont is called from Antwerp, with hii regiment of chasseurs-partisans. He will reach Vilvorde at six this evening. A regiment of lancers is expected from Mechlin, and also a battery of artillery. There was evidently a great stir this morning in the offices of the Minister of War, whence estafettes were. sent out in all directions. At the Messageries of .M. Van Gendt 3,8001b5. weigl.t of ammunition were seized. They were addressed to Captain Parent." Some weeks since, while a merchant vessel, the St. Jeari Baptiste Of Marseilles, was in the Archipelago, her supereatr,o, Gavi, was taken with an illne ss from which he suffered extreme . pain. His son, a lad, who was on boad, was one. day on deck. with a Ge noese sailor, and, lamenting the cruel state of his father, said " I - wobld rather die than See him con .t,inue in this condition." Ansaldi, the sailor, - laugheii. at the youth, and told him if lie saw d instantlhandy down to the captain's cabin, brought up a pistol, and, giving it to Ansaldi, said—" Now fire, and see if I shrink." The sailor took the weapon, presented it at the youth's breast, pulled the trigger, and killed him instantaneously. Ansaldi was put under arrest, sent to France in a corvette, which arrived three days ago at Marseilles, where he is imprisoned to take his trial for the murder.
