mint; where the higher part was injured by the the, and about thirty-two feet in breadth. Juror--Describe more particularly ?—One part of Mr. Jones's wall when we began to rebuild on it was, I think, about twenty feet from the pavement ; the thickness of the old wall was three bricks and a half, and we carried it up to the height of forty feet. What thickness was all the rest from the 40 feet from the pavement ?—Two bricks and a half to the top in thickness. Tell us the thickness of the parapet above the wall- Plate•—l know of no alteration in the thickness of the walls of the parapets, which were continued two and a half thick, with the exception that we made an over sailing where the fall of the gutter comes, about five inches towards the west wall, and about two inches in the front wall. What was the height of the front wall to the top of the parapet L_About 77 or IS feet to the top of the parapet, and about 60 from the pavement to the plate. Tell us what new bricks were brought on tie premises, and by whom ?—The bricks were brought from Mr. Hob s on's yard. How many of the old bricks were used ?—About 140,000 of the old bricks were used in the walls built by Mr. Pound, as well in the exterior of the walls as in the interior of the house. Were any of the old bricks used, in point of fact, in the interior of the house?—The chief part of the old bricks were used in the interior. _ _ _ Did you see any of the old bricks taken away ?—I dare lay I saw thirty or forty loads taken away as rubbish ; and Mr. Hobson, who tot=e the building down, carted them a way. Were there a great number of bats amongst the bricks Which were left ?—There were a great number of bats amongst those left behind. What character of new bricks did you see brought on is the - premises to work up the walls P—The only new bricks that I saw, or that I believe were used in the ex ternal walls, were second stocks—towards the latter end some place bricks were brought in for the interior walls, because Mr. Poend told me that there were no stocks in Mr. Hobson's yard. What mortar or cement was used in the external walls? --Greystone lime and river sand, or sharp sand. Was any cement used in those external walls ?,—At times there was, in arches and things of that kind, where the epeningl were covered over. What proportion was used of sand to the lime in the matter with which the external walls were carried up ? There was, I believe, generally about three loads of said to a load and a half of lime. Are you sure those were the proportions ?—I think they were, but I did not take particular notice of it. Were the joints of the brick-work, as they were carry ing np the external walls, made wide or shallow ?—What I call pretty close joints. " . Is there much a term in building as seambling-woik ? Yes, Sir. What does that mean ?—lt is applied where the work is scarnped. What doei scamping work mean ?—lt is where there are very thick joists of mortar. Had this 'building very thick wall joists ?—No; not in the generality of it. It had not. Not in the generality ?—No, Sir. The joists Were what ?—They were generally fair throughont—what they call good wall joists. By a Juror..='-llow was this morter mixed, through the hand, or by a pug-mill ?—Through a pugmill. By the CORONER.—The whole of it?—The whole of it. By . a Juror.—Yon have stated that a certain quantity of bats, of rubbisk as they were called, were taken away. Am Ito understand you any portion of the hats were used in the building ?—Not in the external walls. By the CoßoNEii..—No old bats, I suppose, you mean? —No old ones. By a Juror..—Whit proportion of the old hats, I mean the old broken bricks, were used, in your opinion, in the erection of the internal walls ?—I am sure I cannot ex actly say how many, but there were, perhaps, seventy or eighty thousand carted away, and the remainder were boned in places which were of no consequence. That is impossible. Take time to consider your an swer because the one you have now given, is in entire eon contradiction to what you have before stated. I under stand you to have stated, that from thirty to forty loads were carted away, and that each of those loads consisted probably of five hundred bricks. If that is so, it is impos sible that seventy or eighty thousand could have been carted away ?—lt is impossible for me to say the exact number contained in each load, but I know the deduction made to Mr. Pound, or the measurement en account of the bats, were 60,000. As to the loads that the carts contained I was not there to see them at all times carted off. I Ain not disposed to hasten you, and if you cannot speak positively, don't answer' the question ; but what I want to know from you, and which I should think you are able to answer, having had experience in these mat ters—what quantity of bats—l mean of the old broken bricks, because I am told that when new bricks are broken they are called bats—what quantity were used in the in terior of the theatre'—The whole that were left at that time from being carted away were buried in the foundations and pavings ; but they were not used in the walls where they were of any importance. They were not used in the erection of any of the walls above the earth. [Want of space prevents our giving two columns more of the e xamination. It was, however, clearly ascertained that the carpenter's shop was suspended front the iron roof, at the e xpress command of the Proprietors. The late un foi tunate Mr. Maurice, in p-rticular, when spoken to by one of the workmen on the subject—only replied, •' Go on, there is no fear of the weight." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Corn Trade has been quite inanimate in every branch during the present week. The Market was well attended to-day. We had rather mere inquiry for fine Wheat, but no improvement in price. The damp samples cannot be pushed off, even at 3d. to 6d. per bushel below the first runs. In Barley there is very little doing. Seed Oats are offering on lower terms ; but there are very few buyers, and the large importations (Irish) caused Feed and Mealing Oats to be dull, at a decline of id. to Id. per bushel. Boiling Pease and Beans are. each dull. The stocks of Malt have become very large, and sales exceed ingly dull. The demand for Flour is likewise limited. Oatmeal may be purchased on better terms.

STATE OF TRADE.—The demand for weavers continues unabated in this town, although no advance of wages has taken place since our last ; bnt from what we have heard, this must speedily occur, or our manufacturers will not be able to complete their orders. The extraor dinary quantity of looms now employed with silk and cotton, has created a scarcity of muslin weavers, and this scarcity will increase unless our manufacturers pay some thing like corresponding wages. We have been informed that in the neighbourhood of Leigh alone, 1500 hands have been transferred from muslin, to silk and cotton fabrics.— Bolton Chronicle. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. LtvEaroot, 111 A RCM B.—The business done in British Plantation Sugar this week is very limited, consisting only of 200 hhds. of good grocery Sugars; this description, however, supports full prices, being rather scarce ; but the lower qualities are quite neglected. Nothing done in East India or Foreign Sugar.—A parcel of good Demerara Mo lasses have been sold at 275. 6d. per cwt.—Our Coffee market continues in an inactive state : about 150 tees. Jamaica have, however, been sold to the Grocers, mostly ordinary and unclean, at a trifling redaction ; besides which 650 bags ordinary St. Domingo were sold by auction (with all faults) at 31s. 6d. to 345. per cwt.—Cocoa, Ginger, and Pimento are without inquiry. The Rum market re mains steady; sales limited. We have had a fair demand for Cotton this week from the trade, and the prices of our last quotations have been maintained.

There has been rather more demand for Tobacco since our last, the trade having purchased more freely than for some weeks past; prices remain without alteration. —ln Carolina Rice only a few trifling sales have been effected.— We hare no material alteration to notice in the state of our Corn market this week ; the sales of Wheat have been li mited, and the prices (exeepting the best qualities) barely supported.---A large supply of Irish Oats has depressed the prices Id. to 2d. per lolbs., but at this reduction some considerable sales were made.—The demand for Cloverseed has been nearly suspended ; several parcels of Dutch and Flemish recently arrived will be brought for wards to public sale in the course of next week.—The holders of new sowing Flaxseed having been mere disposed to meet the buyers, have submitted to a reduction of Is. to I s. Gd. par hlid. : the sales amount to about 920 casks New York at 465. to 475., principally at the former price, and 400 Philadelphia at 435. 64. per hhd.—There has been a partial inquiry for Quercitron Bark : 50 casks new Phi ladelphia of fin• quality have brought 15s. 611. per cwt.— American Tar continues to find buyers at steady prices ; the sales are about 1,000 brls. Carolina at 12s. Gd. to 12s. 9d. per hrl.—Turpentine may he quoted at a small advance, 1,060 brig. of good having been sold at 13s. 14-d., and a small lot of fair quality at 120.

For Logwood the home demand remains limited, the sales being 70 tons Campeachy, at 71. 155., and 30 tons Jamaica, at 6/. 15s. ; besides 160 tons have been taken for export at 71. 10s. per ton in bond. Fustic of pod quality does not offer freely ; some sales of Spanish have been effected at 71. 2s. 6d. to 71. 10s., but the holdera of Cuba are demanding 121. per ton. In Nicaragua Wood or Harwood, we have heard of no sales. A parcel of inferior and rusty Camwood has been disposed of at 101., but for the best qualities 131. to 14/ is de manded. Since the public sales of Indigo last week, our market has remained quiet, and the business done has been confined to small orders for consumers at our quotations. Cochineal, Lac Dye, and Safflower, remain neglected. A parcel 01680 bags Verona Shumac, just arrived,was offered by auction, but withdrawn, there being no bid above 7s. per cwt. ; it has since been sold at about 7s. 6d. from the ship side ; the sales of other descriptions have been very limited. For Madder Roots there appears to be but little demand, and though some of our holders are asking higher prices, the buyers do not seem disposed to give any ad vance ; 150 bales French have been sold at 415., and a few hales of good Turkey at 465. per cwt. Aladders con tin►►e in fair request at our quotations. Brimstone con tinues almost without inquiry.

No sales worth notice have been made in Valonia. The market for Hides is steady; the business done since our last consists of 4,000 salted Valparaiso Cow and Ox, the exact price of which has not transpired, but is supposed to be about 6Ad. per lb. ; besides which there have been sold 450 New York salted at 4id., and 140 West India at 6id. per lb. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GALLANT FOX CIIAsE.-On Tuesday week the Wor cestershire Hounds, belonging to J. Parker, Esq., threw o 11• at Highnatn Wood, near Gloucester. The fox broke cover in the finest style, and after a gallant run of two hours and twenty minutes without a check, through a beautiful vale country, he was killed near May Hill. Al though there was a numerous field of sportsmen, only a few were in at the death, but all pronounced it one of the best day's sport they ever had an opportunity of enjoying. We understand it is the intention of J. Parker, Esq., to hunt the country in the neighbourhood of Corse Lawn, when Colonel Berkeley's hounds are absent from Chelten ham.— Cheltenham Chronicle. Mr. King's hounds on Friday fortnight ran a bag fox for two hours, and killed. On crossing a part of Dart moor, they were joined by Mr. Woodley's excellent pack of harriers, from whom the fox-hounds ran clean away in twenty minutes, the harriers coming in about a quarter of an hour after ti►e death. Foor RACE IN FRANCE.—On the Ist inst. an excellent foot race took place between George Hall, the Pottery runner, and a Frenchman, of the name of Dufont, at St. Germain's (about five miles from Paris), for 2,000 f. a-side. The distance was 350 yards, and the contest is described as having been extremely severe. The last hundred yards the men were "neck and neck," and Hall won by about half a-yard. An amateur of Westminster, will undertake to hop across Waterloo-bridge, from gate to gate, on Tuesday for 251. To meet at the Norfolk Arms, Strand, at 5 o'clock, before starting. HERCULEAN TASK.—Two gentlemen of respectability have made a match for Coats to walk 1,260 miles in one thousand hours, at the. Wellington Cricket ground, for 100/. a• side ; one gentleman backing time, and the other the man. Coats is to perform one mile and a quarter per hour, night and day, with the exception of Sunday ; when however, he is to be disturbed every hour, to prevent his gaining strength by sleep. The performance of the feat is fixed to commence on Monday the 31st of March, and re gular watches kill be appointed on both sides. This is 250 miles more than the Barclay match. _ _ On the 28th ult. Lord Petre's hounds found a fox at Dunbury, and after a run of two hours and throe quarters killed him near Raw Reath Hall. On the same day, Mr. Conyer's fox hounds found a fox at Lord Maynard's, Wigh Wood, and after a run of two hours and a quarter, killed him at Tytield. Mr. Ilanbury's fox hounds met at Newport on Wednes day, and found a fox at the Joe Ilighwood ; after a run of twenty miles it was lost. Ascor GOLD Cur.—The following important nomi nations have been made for this Cup, which will be run on the Sd day of the First Meeting. The entry is supposed to exceed all former years in the character of the horses : His Majesty's br. h. Mortgage; his Majesty's m. Fleur de Lis ; Lord Cleveland's b. h. Memnon ; Lord Cleveland's f. Nonplus ; Mr. Wyndham's Chateau Margaux ; Lord Verulam's Brocard ; Mr. Gully's Afameluke ; Lord G. Ca vendish's Rapid Rhone (Espagnolle); Mr. Scott Stone hewer's Souvenir; Sir R. K. Dick's Bobadilla ; Mr. Payne's Shakspeare ; Mr. Payne's Amphion. On Tuesday earening the last deposit for the fight between White-headed Bob and Neal was made good, and the battle was appointed to take place en the 29th of April ; the odds on Neal are five to two ; and he is backed to win the fight in 50 mintitci, to draw first blood, and, at small odds, to give the first knock down blow. LATEST sr Art: or THE DOM.-The last week's betting has done little ill the way of alteration. The Colonel is now first for the Derby, and 8 to 1 has been ,taken against him. Navarin is gradually giving way, his party sup porting him but feebly. Giraffe continuing the object of much speculation, has been backed to a considerable amount, and brought up a point or two in the odds. Se veral attempts have been made to bring up Bugle ; but the party being weak, a good deal of money has been laid out upon him without any apparent chance of making it a pro fitable speculation. Lord Eieter's Zealot colt has also been backed to a large amount; and as his backers got pretty strong odds at going off, he will probably turn to goof account in the books, FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. A Cabinet Council was held at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, Downing street; the summonses for assembling of which were issued on Saturday evening.

W. Lamb, Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, and Miss Fitzclarcnce. The Duke of WELLINGTON was prevented from being present, being confined to his residence by a severe cold. On the arrival of his Royal visitors, Mr. PEEL came out to receive them at the door and conducted their Royal High nesses to the Dining Room. The dinner was of a most sumptuous description, and was served in a very elegant style on a very splendid service of plate. In the evening there was a very numerous party, con sisting of nearly all the Foreign Ministers and their Ladies, and a large assemblage of the Nobility and Gentry. The Picture Gallery and Saloon were brilliantly illumi nated on the occasion with ormolu lustres. Hoses and other flowers, in full bloom, were placed in large quantities in the rooms. Refreshments of the choicest description were laid out in the drawing room. The company began to arrive at ten o'clock, and continued setting down till eleven. There were present : Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, Princess Esterhazy ; Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, Princess Polignac ; Prince Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, Princess Lieven; Count d'Alcudia, the Spanish Ambas sador, Countess d'Alcudia; the Marquis de Palmella, the Portuguese Ambassador ; Baron Falck, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, Baroness Feick ; Count de Moltke, the Danish Minister; Count d'Ofalia (on a special mission from the King of Spain) ; Baron Bulow, the Prussian Minister : Count Ludolf, the Neapolitan Minister, Countess Ludolf; Count d'Aglie, the Sardinian Minister; Baron Cetto, the Bavarian Minister, Count de Mande/doh, the Wurtemburgh Minister ; Mr. Lawrence, the American Charge d'Affaires ; Monsieur Biedermann, the Saxon Charge d'Affaires ; the Master of the Rolls, the Attorney General, the Solicitor General, Prince Spiinee, Prince Paul Lieven, Chevalier de Neumann, and the Mexican Minister.

Rossini's pieta of Otello was on Saturday night repre sented at this Theatre, on which occasion Madame Pasta resumed her favourite part of Desdtmona. This is one of her most popular characters, and certainly her acting in the last scene is unrivalled; we scarcely even except her M e dea. As Otello is already sufficiently known to a London audience, we shall forbear to enlarge upon the peculiar character of its music, further than to observe that its rich and N'aticd harmonies received, as far as Madame Pasta was concerned, every support that genius and judg ment could lend them. 'The remaining characters were, as usual, respectably supported. lago, more especially, was rendered truly comic. The house was full. BRITISH DIORAMA. This entertaining exhibition was opened for a privat e inspection on Saturday. It consists of tour views, two of which have been painted by Stanfield, and two by Roberta. —The two by Roberts are, the Interior of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and the Ruins of Tinton abbey, by moonlight; those by Stanfield (well known for his able sea-paintings), are the Lake of Maggiore i❑ Italy, and the Wreck of an Indianian and Storm on the Co.e.:t. The light and shade in both series of views are dexterously con trived, but are yet far flow equalling, in point of feli citous tact, their Continental predecessors. The change of views, however, is an improvement on the original plan ; for, instead of the s - ; , .ectators being moved round the building-, they remain stationary, while a sort of screen opens and shuts, to show or conceal the views. We think it not unlikely that this exhibition will have a rum. PANORAMA, BAKER-STREET, PORTMAN SQUARE. This is a spirited, and—as we are led to understand—a, faithful representation of the late far-famed Battle of Navarin. A close hand-to-hand sort of fight between the Asia and a tremendous Turkish Admiral, is pourtrayed in all its horrors ; the general action, t oo , i s s h a d owe d f ort h w i t h great distinctness, considering the vast variety of objects of every form and character, with which the canvas is neces sarily crowded. The explosion of part of the Turkish fleet deserves close and particular attention—it has really a terrific appearance. As a whole the Panorama is well worth a visit. THEATRICAL CHIT CHAT. Shakspeare's " Taming of the Shrew," a Comedy, in five Acts, which has not been represented at either Thea tre for more than eighty yeers, is about to be restored at Drury-lane, with all its original characters, and the addition of songs, duets, and glees, selected entirely from the son nets and plays of the author. When Garrick reduced the " Taming of the Shrew" to the afterpiece of " Catherine anti Pctruchio," he omitted the best part of Hortensio, and of Bianca, and the whole of Tranio, Lucentio, the Pedant, Vincentio, and the Widow. Braham is to play Ilortensio; Miss Paton, Catharine ; %flack, Petruchio ; Harley, Grumio ; and Jones, Tranio. We hope a portion of the original Introduction to this Comedy will be retained, were it only to introduce that admirable comedian, Liston, in the character of Christopher Sly. Bishop composes and adapts the music.—Mathews leaves town on Wednesday, on a professional tour to Edinburgh and Glasgow, where l ie has been long engaged. He will not return to Old Drury for a month. Liston will likewise shortly quit the Metropolis for a more limited period.—" The Critic,' " Killing No Murder," " The Poor Gentleman," and " Love, Law, and Physic," the success of which, on revival, has been unexampled, must be laid upon the shelf, until these powerful comic actors return, and unite their talents with Mr. Jones, Mr. Dowton, Mr. Harley, and Mt. Cooper, all of whom essentially contributed to the attrac tion of these Dramas. Peake's laughable farce, called " The Hauated Inn," cannot be acted until Mathews re turns. Price, who seems to spare no expellee in the pro duction and variety of his Dramas, has a store of new and revived pieces in progress. Kenney is preparing a Comedy, founded en an old play, in which Liston, Mathews, Jones, Dowton, Harley, and Wallaek, are to act ; there is consi derable mystery in regard to the source whence this Co medy is derived, to prevent anticipation and rivalry. Poole is nearly ready with his Drama ; and the Comedy by Sheridan Knowles, the popular author of " William Tell," has long been in the hands of the Managers. Con siderable advances have likels ise been made by Stanfield, the scene-painter, and the machinist of the theatre, in pre paring for the Easter new spectacle. Covent Garden has • experienced a decided hit in the engagement of that unri valled ballad-singer, Miss Stephens. C. Kemble has had the good taste to revive those Operas and Comedies, with songs, in which Miss Stephens originally acted, and in the performance of which this lady is without a competitor. Kean is nearly recovered from his severe illness ; his attrac tion continues; it has amply repaid the Management of this house for the large suns given to him—we understand 501. every night he acts. Kean's engagement for this season is drawing to a close; before it terminates, it is said he will take a benefit; and his son, by permission of Mr. Price, who is the most current and kind friend Kean ever had, has granted the younger Kean his permission to act in the nay with his father; this will, no doubt, be a very inte resting treat to the lovers of Tragedy. Young is returned from Manchester; he had a full house on his benefit night, notwithstanding it occurred on the very day when nearly forty bodies, drowned by the recent accident of the launch of the ship, were lying on the bank of the river. Young will shortly resume his performances at Covent Garden, where, in every department of the whole management, there has this season been complete success. Morton, who, as an author, has seldom failed, has adapted (our suggestion) the popular French piece, called " La Femme Soldat," under the title of " The Invineibles," with com plete success; and Planehe's " Merchant's Wedding," with the fine acting of Charles Kemble, Miss Chester, and Mr. Farrel), must continue to attract. Miss Kelly is fear fully effective in the deep-toned character of Ernes tine, the orphan, in the '' Somnambulist, or the Phan tom of the Village." Farley is again busy with his " Eas ter-offering," under the guise of Spectacles : we wish bins success. Peake has a new Farce at this Theatre,—The Minor Theatres abound with novelty. Yates, its the absence of his partner, Terry, is the sole director of the Adelphi. Ile produced, last week, a new piece, called " Presumptive Evidence," founded on the story named " Card' Drawing," from the recent publica tion of The Munster Festivals, which, owing to the excellent acting of Mrs. Yates and T P. Cooke, and Yates himself, in the character of a Wild Irishman, lies been eminently successful.—Elliston at the Surrey Theatre, aided by Master Burke awl Rayner, certainly the, beet Yorkshireman on the stage, continues to collect profitable audiences. His neighbour the Royal Coburg, acts, night after night, the regular drama without interruption,— Tom Ditislin, the most prolific of all the dramatic writers of the day, takes his benefit at Sadler's wells this evening. His industry merits reward—we hope he will be recom pensed by a bumper.—At the King's Theatre, Laporte, the manager, is unremitting in his endeavours to please the high class who patronise this expensive establishment, though it is sadly borne down by exorbitant salaries paid to a few individuals. The company, however, is so com plete in its detail, especially in the prominent departments, that we trust the season will end profitably to the deserving lessees.—Ainold is playing a sure game with his French of Aro i lT e r t e le 's t Comedies at have the head of them.
