The particulars of a case of a most extraordinary cha racter have just been brought to light, in which a gentleman of fortune has been placed in a most unen viable position. The most strenuous endeavours on the part of the friends of, the accused have been made in order to prevent the unfortunate exposure reaching the eyes of the public. - It would appear that the gen tlme hitherto an accusedis regarded as iN r. William highest Metcalfe, a r e sp e p e e t r a s b o i iii lity, residing in Coburne-street, Bow. That he was in the habit of almost daily visiting the shop of Mr. John Littlejohn, pastrycook and confectioner, of King William-street, City, and of purchasing a two- • penny Bath bun. Upon all occasions his visits to the shop were unusually tang, but up .to Saturday last, no suspicion . . was excited. On that day, however, hi s o bj ec t o . fremammgbecame apparent, and he was charged with felony. He was observed by the young woman who serves behind Mr.' Littlejohn's counter to place his hand upon some other buns; which he hastily secreted in his pocket. After finishing the bun that he held in his hand, during the time he purloined the others, he ten dered the shop Woman the sum of twopence, which she refused to receive; at the same time telling him that he had other buns in his pocket. Upon hearing this attack upon his honesty, :the " gentleman" became ex ceedingly violent, and denied the allegation in the most positive and indignant terms. The, female was not to be deceived, and Mr. Littlejohn was called for, and to him was relafed - . - the fact of the "gentleman" having concealed the buns, and refused to pay for them. Remonstrance was first resorted to by the confectioner, but, in proportion to the leniency of the tradesman the more manifeA became the insolence of the accused. Mr. Metcalfe demanded to know how Mr. Littlejohn dared to accuse a person of his respectability of sigh disgraceful conduct, and in order that that gentleman might receive.the satisfac tion he so loudly desired, a policeman was sent for. Constable Scott, No. 448, in a few minutes arrived, and proceeded to perform the unceremonious task of searching the prisoner, upon whose .person he found four Bath buns. Mr. Littlejohn immediately charged Mr. Metcalfe with the felony, and he was forthwith conveyed by Scott to the police station-house on Garlick-hill. The charge was there formally entered by the inspector on duty in the following words, as our informant perceived by the police-book :—" 24th September, William Metcalfe, charged with stealing from the shop of John Littlejohn, No.• 77. King William-street, four buns, value Bd. (Signed) John Littlejohn." Communications were made to other members of the family, and, amongst others, to his son, Mr. John Metcalfe, a well-known and affluent member of the Stock Exchange. On Sunday morning, immediately before the hour for the commencement of Divine service, Mr..T. Metcalfe waited upon the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, and obtained a private iaterview with his Lordship. At that interview, some mutual friends are stated to have interposed, and the result was, that his Lordship issued an order to the police to liberate Mr. William Metcalfe upon bail, to appear on the following morning at the Man sion-house. This arrangement was carried out about noon on Sunday, and Mr. Littlejohn was waited upon by some of the friends of the accused, and urged not to prosecute, but for some time he remained inexor able. On Monday morning, about half an hour before the usual hour of the Lord Mayor sitting in the public justice-room, the prisoner, attended by his son, and a number of friends, was conducted into a private room before his Lordship. An outline of the case Was laid before his Lordship ; but no depositions were taken against the prisoner. After some discussion, it was ar ranged that the prisoner should be discharged from the felony, Mr. Littlejohn consenting to forego the prosecu tion on Mr. Metcalfe paying 51. to the poor-box. In confirmation of this fact, the followin; note is ap pended to the charge recorded in the police-books. " Ordered to pay a fine of 41. to the poor-box, 26th September.". The prisoner was respectably attired, and stated his age to be 69. The high respectability of the prisoner, his high connexions, and the extraor dinary termination • of so serious a charge, have alike aroused the astonishment and indignatton of all who are more immediately acquainted with the filets. The sessional results of the county of Middlesex repeatedly bear evidence of destitute persons being severely punished for stealing penny loaves, and while " hunger" in the county is ruled to be no answer to a felony, "respectability' s in the City is declared to be all-powerful.— Weekly Dispatch. A. MARRIAGE, ON THE T.tris.—There is a mar riage " toward " which creates the greatest sensation, both on account of the high rank of the putative bride groom, and still more through the exalted position of the future bride ; this mariage d 1 eclat, which the haul monde say is on the eve of accomplishment, is between the most Noble the Marquis of Douglas and her Serene Highness Princess. Mary Amelia, daughter of the Dowager Duchess of Baden. Her Highness is twenty-five years of rge, and she is as beautiful as she is accomplished, inheriting the qualities of her mother, the Princess Stephanie, whose reputation for charms of mind and person is proverbial throughout the Continent. The Marquis of Douglas is thirty 'three years of age. Some objec tions have existed as to the marriage, on account of the promessa being the daughter of a Sovereign Prin cess, but we hear that these objections had been waved when it became known that the young Marquis would inherit 'the triple Dukedom of Hamilton, Bran don, and Chatelrault. He is besides heir to the glories of the Arrans and Douglasses, and his direct ancestor in I. was not only chosen Regent of Scotland unanimously, but declared by Parliament heir pre sumptive to the Crown, should his ward, Queen Mary, die without issue. The Duchess Dowager of Iladen's residence is at Manheim, and there the Duchess of Hamilton is staying at this moment. If this marriage take place, as confidently announced in the highest circles, the Marquis of Douglas will become brother-in-law to the Hereditary Prince of Hohen Zollern Zigmarringen, and also to Prince Wasa, son of the unfortunate deposed King of Sweden.—Courl Journal. INAUGURATION DINNER OF THE SHERIFFS, OP LONDON AND MIDDLESEX. The new Sheriff's (Alderman Hooper and Mr. Jeremiah Pileher) gave their inauguratiou dinner On Friday, at Vintners Hall. The entertainment , which wit; provided and superintender by Messrs. Breach and Bathe,. of the London Tavern, was not only splendid, but abounded with - these comforts which are often looked for in vain at large.banquets. Nearly 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner in the great room, in which were the banner and armorial bearings of the Vintners' and the Haberdashers' Comp:larks, to which the Sheriffs respectively belong. Amongst them were the Lord Mayor Elect, M.P., the Cursitor Baron, M.P., the Recorder, M.P., Mr. Masterman, M.P., Mr. Lyall, M.P.; Aldermen Lucas, Farehrother, Sir Peter Laurie, Magnay, John Johns*, Sir C.

D. Harvey, the Commissioner of the City Pelice,'&c., &c. The Sheriffs officiated alternately aS Chairman, very much to the satisfaction of the company. After the loving . cup had taken its round, and the toasts of the Queen, the Queen ,Dowager, and Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and thk other branches of the Royal Family, and ProsperitiAle: the City of London, had been drank with the highest honours, Sheriff Hoopna rose to propose her Majesty's Ministers. He observed that whomsoever her Ma jesty, in the exercise of the Royalt prerogative, might he pleased to call to h e r councils, such personages, in the elevated position they occupied, were at all times entitled to the respect and consideration of therpoun try, and he, therefore, felt much pleasure in proposing the toast.—(cheers.) Sheriff FILCHER felt high gratification proposin, in "(r the health of the Lord Mayor, with whose merits the company were so well acquainted, both in his public and private capacity, that it became unnecessary to use the language of description in speaking of so ex celrent a man.—(Cheers.) .It was much to be regret ted that his Lordship was, not able to take the chair on the occasion upon which they assembled, but the labotir and anxiety which he had undergone, inter fered with the earne4 wish he had expressed to be present. • His Lordship had, on the preceding day, received from his • fellow-citizens, in an unannnous vote of thanks, the strongest assurance of their estimate of his .worth, and it •was with peculiar satisfaction the Sheriffs reiterated the sentiment in Vintners' Hall. Sheriff Hooeua said it was with much pleasure he Mayor Elea. That gentleman had been before the proposed the health of Alderma n Hum phery , Lord public for several years hi the character of Sheriff, Alderman, and Member of Parliament, and it might lie confidently stated that in all those capacities he had secured the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens; in confirmation of which they had just con ferred upon him the highest distinction in their power, by electing him to the important office of Chief Ma gistrate of this great city. lie (Sheriff Hooper) was quite satisfied that if l'roviden ce blesse d the Lord Mayor Elect with health .and .stren g th, the v a ri o us important duties of the elevated office would be dis charged most effectively and satisfactorily in the en suing y( ar.—(Cheers.) The Loan MAYOR ELECT returned thanks. He deeply felt the compliment which had been just paid to Into by the numerous and highly-respectable com pmy by whom he was surrounded. The honour to which the Sheriff had alluded: so forcibly was one which ha considered to be the greatest that could be conferred upon any individUal, and he assured those whose approbation he had received, that he should, by making the most strenuous efforts in his power, show that he was anxious to carry out their hopes and ex pactatienS.-(Cheers.) To please all was impossible; but the exertions to deserve unanimous respect for good intentio n s h ou ld no t be wanting upon his part. and he kn ew wou ld b e properly appreciated by hi: fellow-citi zens . Th ere was one thing which he should yromise, and which he was convinced would be most acceptable to those whose opinions o u g ht to be re spected. No man should, during, his Mayoralty, be able to guess, from the performance of his Magisterial duties, hy what political fl..elings he was actuated. Sheriff llooptat ► begged to propose the health of a distinguished person, who had given the Sheriffs the honour of his, company u p on t h e present occasion— " The Cursitor :Baron." Th e Sheriff had to return,him thanks for the ve r y f avoura bl e rec eption with, r to fill laid upon hi m t h e which they had met from hi m i n the representation of her Majesty at IV es t m i nster, an d for the kindness , with which he had acc e pt e d t h e i r i nv itation. The CURSITOR BA RON , in returning thalli:S, said time office he had the ho nou extremely pleasant duty o f conv eying froni t he Sove reign time ratification o f th e exer cise of the privi leges of the citizens of L on d on, b y c onfirming those rights and privileges whi c h t h ey 'had for so man y centuries enjoyed and use d , of electing fr om their own body the Sheriffs of the City of London and county of Middlesex.---(ClieerS,) All time credit he could Claim, arose from the sincere gratification he felt in conveying to the Sheriffs the Royal approba tion of the. choice of the citizens of London. Ile bad been many years in the habit of expressing the sanc tion of the Sovereign to the choice m ade b y the citizens of London, an d h a d, as a matter of course, addressed hims e lf t o i n dividuals of all shades and degrees of politi e s, b u t he had uniformly come in contact with th e u t mos t ki n dness and con sideration; lie had always found the hospitality and the kindness of the citizens of London unchanged, and he believed they were unchangeable.—(Cheers.) It was with no small pride they would look back upon the past year in reference to the transactions which had occurred elsewhere. 'While the municipal autho• rities were admitted to have failed in different parts of the country in quelling the spirit of tumult and insubordination, London, by the admirable exercise of its inherent powers, completely dissipated all a ttempts to excite the publi c' and set an example Which had the most beneficial resu lts all over the nation.—(Cheers.) He felt time warmest regard for the City of London and its institutions. It would be presumption in him to °Mir. his exertions in Par liament upon any occasion on which the privileges of that great community were brought into discussion, as the City was protected so ably by its own Mem bers, by its principal Law Officer, by time Lord Mayor Elect, and others who were connected with the cor poration, but lie certainly should add his feeble voice to the able talents which time City could at all times Command to protect functions so important to the public at large.—(Cheers.) Sheriff Pthcitua proposed " Alderman Lucas, and the Magistrates of the City of London." He felt real, unaffected pleasure, in drinking the Aldermen of Lon don, with the venerable Alderman at their head, who was so much beloved and respected. Of the advan tageous labours of the City Magistrates their fellow citizens were well aware. The duties which they had to pen form, and which were of an exceedingly onerous nature, demanded a great portion of their time and attention, and were executed with 'inflexible impar tiality, and a regard for justice, in which compassion 'as a predominant ingredient. — (Cheers.) Alderman Lucas said he was convinced his brother Magistrates would feel with him most grateful for the reception which the toast had met with. The Ma gistrates of th e City of London were not with o ut their faults—(Laughter)—but in everythi ng conn ected deserved lvith tlithe e a pp r obation administrationof of their fell ow - c iti ze ns.— (Cheers.) It was frequently said that there were more clever Justices in the surrounding counties. Ile did not care for that. Time Magistrates of the City of of his brother London luld experience and good sense to guide them, and they had consciences too ; and so long as they acted conscientiously, they would act rightly i t i h n e d approbation of himself he Mt most - warmly the honour conferred and judiciously.—(Cheers.) For upon him, s l e n r a v n e y d Ma gistrates couipauyhalf as well .as deserved it.—(Cheers and laughter) Ile knew, however, that some allowance would be made for a man on the wrong side of eighty.—(Loud cheers.) Ile could assure those who had just cheered him that his heart was in the right place, and it was his highest pride that he had lived and would die 101 honest Englishman.—(Cheer s.) Sir PETER LAURIE rose and said, be had been re quested to propose the princirl toast of the evening,— " The health of the Sheritfi. —(Cheers.) That most pleasing duty devolved, according to custom, to the Lord Mayor Elect, but his Honourable Friend hav ing already addressed the c ompany on a very interest ing topic, complimented loom with the office of eitllirl;~ the attention of the company to the two gentlemen who presided and lie willingly obeyed the command of one whom he was happy to .see in great authority. It was quite a delightful task to present theaunnes..of two such sensible, upright, and honourable men to time notice of the company.—(Cheers.) Alderman Hooper had long been in the Common Council, and was greatly respected th ere , and so highly was he estee me d by his own ward, that he was unanimously elected Alderman by its constituency.

Hooper was modest and retiring, as a Magistrate he was firm and julicions. Certainly every day's experience provoi that a mer cantile man possessed of knowledge of the world was the most fit person to be a Magistrate, for a Magis trate (considering the character in its most enlarged and most useful signification) had constantly to grapple with the craft and cunning of des4ning men. —(Cheers.) As the class of knaves whose success depended upon their heads was greatly on the increase, he was happy to have Alderman Hooper as a brother Magistrate.—(Cheers.) The name of My. Filcher, the other Sheriff, had long been before the Livery, associated with all the qualities necessary to distin guish him in the high capacity ; but he did not ask the suffrages of the Livery till his sons were able to conduct his large mercantile affairs, and thus allow him to devote the whole of his time to the important duties of the office. He lamented the absence of the Lord Mayor from the entertainment. A similar occurrence took place last year. There was, however, agreat advantage resulting from the obligation upon the Sheriffs to preside at their own inauguration dinner, for their friends were supplied with the oppor tunity of witnessing their talents and exertion, as had been the case last year, when Alderman Magnay and Mr. Rogers afforded such undeniable evidence of their qualifications for the office which they had so honourably and admirably filled. —(Loud cheers ) The Cursitor Baron had taken a cursory survey of the conduct of the Aldermen, but fortunately left the Sheriffs for him. It was with the greatest satisfaction he bore testimony to the exertions of the Sheriffs of last year, and he entertained no doubt that at the end of the present Shrievalty the two gentlemen at the head of the table would receive that which was everything to them—the applause of their fellow-citi iens, supported and confirmed by their own con sciences. (The toast was drank most enthusiastically.) Sheriff Hoorsut begged to assure the company that it was a deep source of gratification to bins to see so many valued and influential friends assembled around him and his excellent colleague. lie could on his own part declare that it was not without much thought and reflection he had entered upon the onerous and important duties of the office he had now the honour to held, and although he was sensible he could not bring the talent and fitness for the office which many of his predecessors possessed, still as far as honesty and integrity of purpose, and an anxious desire to do right are concerned, the utmost reliance might be placed upon him, and encouraged and sup ported as he knew he should be by many kind excel lent friends, he trusted that at the end of his year of office he should not , be undeserving of the thanks of his fellow-citizens.—(Loud cheers.) Sheriff Pmcinut returned his heartfelt thanks for the honour done him, and he hoped frequently to see those around him at the convivial board. (Cheers.) lie trusted that he and his worthy colleague would pass through the office with credit to themselves. lie was aware that there were duties connected with it of an unpleasant nature, connected, as it was, with the exercise of authority in places in which many of their unfortunate fellow creatures were under restraint for the violation of the laws. They were aware, too, of the necessity of adopting a mode of strict discipline. To the perform since of their duties they would bring a determined spirit ; but like the two excellent officers whom they succeeded, they would lean to mercy in answering the calls of justice.—(Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff lloortat declared that he felt peculiar pleasure in proposing the health of " The Recorder of London." The talents and the merits of the Learned Recorder were too well known to require to he then dwelt upon, but it was impossible to pass by without observation the fact, that in addition to his other high attributes and qualifications, the Hon. Mr. Law was Universally acknowledged to be as humane a Judge its ever did honour to the Bench.—(Cheers.) The REcounFat said he felt most grateful for the terms in which his health had been proposed, and the 1;;m1 reception with which it had been met. lle was ware that a more delicate subject could not be -mitered upon, especially by him, than that of the merits of the performance of judicial duties. So delicate was the topic, that lie could not even allude' co it without feeling to a certain extent over powered.—(Cheers.) It had been his happiness to fill situations in the Corporation of London for a period of nearly twenty years, and the selection of him, made at a tune when he was struggling for inde pendence, entitled those to whom lie owed his ele vation to his most sincere and heartfelt gratitude. Ile had never failed to consider, in performing the functions of his office, not only the course of his duty, hut the honour of those to whom he owed his appoint ment.—(Cheers.) He had filled the offices of Counsel, Common Sergeant, and Recorder of London, and had thus the happiness of testifying in his own instance the effect of the elective franchise of the Corisoration of London in raising an humble individual to the highest dignity in the gift of any municipal power. If he gave satisfaction to the public by the performance of his serious and important duties, he was overpaid for the labour and anxiety to which those duties sub jected him. Ile appreciated the kind notice which had been taken of him, and if he was not disposed to enlarge upon the subject, it was in consequence of the sense of delicacy to which he had before adverted. le had ever exerted himself to perform the duties of the situation, not with the view of eliciting popular 'applause, but for the purpose of benefiting the public by the pure administration of justice, tempered with mercy.—(Loud cheers.) his great object was to trrivc at truth, and to accompany the exercise of discrimination with humanity in the cases of unhappy persons brought before a tribunal, which after all was not infallible. lie suf fered no human being to be convicted without law.—(Loud Cheers.) In the course of the perform ance of his duties as a Judge, it was usual with him I to consult with the highest characters on the Bench, and he found existing uniformly amongst them, the desire by which he was always prompted, of adminis tering justice with mercy.—(Cheers.) After having alluded to the privileges possessed by the Corporation of London in the election of their own Sheriff, the 'Recorder, and his Honourable Friend (the Cursitor Baron) had spoken of the advocacy of the rights and privileges of the citizens of London in the Clouse of Commons ; now he could boldly aver that he pursued, and would continue to pursue, in Parliament, the same course by which his conduct as Recorder of Lon don had been marked. Deeply connected as he was with the Conservative Government, nothing on earth should induce him to raise his voice, or apply his vote, against the liberty of the subject, interwoven as that great principle was with the fearless maintenance of public justice—(Cheers)—and he should never hesi tate to uphold the Constitution, as by law established, against what was called the privilege of Parliament. Sheriff PILCIIER proposed the healths of'" Alderman Magnay and Mr. Rogers, the two past Sheriffs." The 'zeal, talent, activity , and assiduity of these gentle men, were the theme of public eulogium, and the pre in having such an i mm edi a t e aplythough to follow the example, ;ai comparison, would be matter of example(si t n S o h t e t r bo i e ff sf s oi nrweketri them, e h tini a :e p great difficulty. The Livery had already enthusias tically pronounced upon the conduct of the, late She riffs, and the company would add their testimony. Alderman LUCAS here rose, and requested to be al lowed to say a few words upon the toast. Ile could not help hearing testimony to the admirable conduct of the late Sheriffs—his most excellent and able friend Alderman Magnay and Mr. Rogers. No man could more properly estimate the merits and exertions of the late Sheriffs than the Aldermen of London, who were in the unceasing habit of witnessing the labours of those functionaries; and there was not a member of the Court of Aldermen who did not feel deeply in debted to Alderman Magnay and Mr. Rogers for the whole course of conduct pursued IT them.—(Cheers.) Alderman MAGSAY expressed his sincere thanks for the honour done him. lle had undertaken the office of Sheriff with a full knowledge of the unpalatable nature of some of the duties which he was to be called upon to perform. lie had performed all the duties faithfully and conscientiously, and the only ambition he felt was completely gratified by the holiest appro bation of his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) Mr. %seams returned thanks, and alluded to the birth of the Prince of Wales, and other ]sappy events which had occurred, to add distinction to the late Shrievalty.—(Cheers.) Sheriff lloorEa proposed " the Members of the City of London." The Sherifl's had, he said, been ho floured that day with the company of Mr. Master man and Mr. Lyall. The devotion of tune to the dis charge of the duties of Parliament , and all the saeri lice of quiet, domestic comforts , ent itled these gentle men to the best thanks of their c onstituents. Mr. MASTERNIAN, M.P. , ret urned thanks. Ile as sured the company that no man felt more strongly than he felt, the necessity of sustaining the privileges of the City of London, and he declared his readiness at all times to render all the aid in Ms power to the snore able advocates of these privileges, if any attempt should be made to invade them.—(Cheers.) lie did not consider it wise to make professions, and should merely say that he should upon all occasions act con scientiously, and he knew that sort of proceeding wo .1d recommend him to his fellow -citizens.—(Cheers.) The Master of the Vintners' Company and the Mus ter of the Haberdashers' Company severally retum( d thanks for the Companies to which they belong. Under- Sheriff Hardwicke and Under-Sheriff er, to whom great praise was due for the admirab'e ar ringetnenti and management of the business of the day, received the warmest thanks of the company. The dinner and wines were of the first quality, and the company was delighted with some splendid sin;iug by Messrs. Jolly, Horneastle, Fitzwilliam, Young, ad 0. Atkins, and 'Masters Sutch and Ball. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This -theatre re-opened for the season on Saturday evening, with Shakspeare's comedy of As You Like It; previously to which the company sang the "Na tional Anthem." The appearance of Rosalind, in the second scene, introduced the heroine in the person of Mrs. Nisbett, after an absence from this stage of six years. Warmly greeted at her entree, the audience, no less brilliant than - full, was soon attuned to a plea surable humour. To .fall in love, but neither in earnest, nor too much in.sport, is the delightful tiason formed between herself and Celia (Mrs. Stirling). But this harmless mean . soon finds itself vain of ob servance; and when the wrestling-ring is pitched, and the match at the Duke's Court ensues, Orlando (Mr. Anderson), who conquers, enlists both the sympathies and love of Rosalind wholly in his behalf. His manliness and nobility of manner at once win her, and love is lit up in her bosom, not like a slow taper, but like the sudden lightning. Of the banish ment of both from Frederick's, the Usurper's Court, it is unnecessary to relate ; or of the diverse routes by which they reciprocally arrive in the broad woods of Arden. But no longer in her flowing satin, Rosalind, compatibly with the projects of her heart. and the roughness of her future life and journey, ha , assumed the habiliments of a man. She adopts a " swashing and martial outside ;" the curtle-axe sets trimly to her thigh, and the ine symmetry of the woman shows handsomely in hose and tunic. Her( the play widens. The entire scenes now range in the forest of Flanders. The Ducal outlaws from the Court there uphold, with their retainers, a serene and unehartered liberty—the greenwood and its caves their homes, and the sides of the deer their food for banquet. But the salt of wisdom also seasons their society, and the melancholy Jaques makes his ab stract comments on the world and its weary ways. Mr. Macready personated this difficult character—difli cult, because there exists a depth of thought in it. which only the penetration of the scholar and the refined judgment of the gentleman can enter into or perceive; and he has lavished study on it in its nicest points, as we saw in his preservation of one of Sir Thomas Hamner's most minute readings, and other passages. Luxuriously laid at length in the forest, we first be hold him "sucking melanchOly out of a song," and feeding his museful disposition on a sylvan warble ; next he flung out his spleen against the world in a verse of his own sarcasm, and then quitted company to rail against "all the first-born of Egypt." Merrily, but yet shaded with sadness, he recounted his meeting with the " fool i' the forest;" averred that motley was the only wear ; waxed impatient to assume the suit ; and then relapsed into that tine soliloquy cxpatiative on the world, its stage, and players. Grave and de corous in its delivery, the dignity of the sentiments liser never descended to mimickry in this piece of oratory, though the whistle of the "childish treble" was distinctly enough heard, and appropriative action and enunciation characterised it throughout. But Orlando and Rosalind—the representatives of hive— one, in its manly and impassioned form —the other, deep as woman's soul, but gushing forth in all the exuberant vivacities of a spring -like, dulcified exist ence. Mrs. Nisbett sparkled with spirit from the first act to the final fifth. A glistening liveliness was perpetually in her eye and movement. Strategist as she shows herself to be in the management of her disguised love, the delusive dazzle she throws about Orlando is nevertheless marked by sincerity and deep affection. Meanwhile, Orlando hangs upon tree and brake his rhymed praises of her beauty, and in court ing her under the assumed soubriquet of Ganyinede, unconsciously woocs his real mistress, every moment drinking light from her eyes and passion from her lip. Then ensues the clever denouement, which unravels the plot. Men and maidens come in with profuse rose-garlands : a bowery temple is constructed of their wreaths ; and in the presence of all, I lyinen, in his saffron vest, and with his consecrative torch, knits the long-parted lovers together, Rosalind having re sumed the becoming attire of her virtue, modesty, and beauty. Among the episodes which occur, the dry and caustic humour of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley as Touchstone and Audrey created much laughter, and the enactment was • felicitous. Mr. Anderson's Or lando, marked by masterly •bearing throughout, showed to much advantage in that scene wherein he demands food for his dying servant, Adam (Mr. Phelps); and Mr. Hudson as Le Beau, the exquisite, was brisk, spirited, and clever. The sceneries were of a superior cast ; and the last, representing a stately forest arcade, brilliantly effective. The songs were ordinarily good ; the best executed being " It was a lover and his lass," in which Miss P. Horton joined. The house testified its pleasure rather by attentive ness than vehement applause, in accordance with the thoughtful and sententious nature of the play. Mrs. Nisbett delivered the epilogue in her most fisscinating manner, and was loudly called for at the 'fall of the curtain, re-appearing with Mr. Macready. The en tertainments closed with the humorous farce of the last season, entitled The Attie Story, which, with the comicalities of Gabriel Paddy (Keeley), and the in trigues arising out of the masquerading propensities of half a dozen fashionables, produces many amusing points, and provokes considerable mirth. The house was excessively full. CO VENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Rossini's opera of Semiramide was produced at this theatre on Saturday in a style of splendour ' mag nificence, and completeness, surpassingeven the achievements of the Vestris management. cy The part of Semiramide was sustained Kemble, and that of Arsace by l Mrs. Alfred Shaw, her first appearance on the English stage. Many of our readers will doubtless rocollect Mrs. Alfred Shaw as Miss Pintails, one of our_ most favourite concert singers. She has spent th e last two or three years in Germany and Italy, assiduously cultivating • musical talents by studying practising .. operatic music, and she has been latterly () si r ' at most . of the principal theatres in esteem which her musical talents are held by t i l c ie on the Continent, the following anecdote furnis hes gratifying proof. Previous to the concert season before the last a well known German professor was asked by some parties connected with the Phil harmonic coneerts who were the most celebrated female singers in Germany? "The two most accom plished female singers in Germany at the present moment, are Mrs. Alfred Shaw and Miss Clara Novello," was the professors reply. Such is the lady who on Saturday night made her debrd on the English stage with all the success that her most ardent admirers could have anticipated. ller figure is tall and well proportioned ; she has a pleasing expression of countenance, and her action is graceful and appropriate. Of the compass of her voice we bad Ino means of judging for Arsace is a contra-alto pa rt ; j the upper notes of ' her voice were consequently not called into requisition. As a contra-alto singer, ever, she stands alone ; she possesses the rich and reedy tones which constitute the great beauty of that quality of voice in even greater perfection than Al bertazzi. Her voice has all the clearness of Madame Vestris, joined to the full rich mellowness of Mi ss Love's, and in distinctness of enunciation she is un rivalled. Superior even to Witham in this respect, the enunciation of Mrs. Alfred Shaw, in even the most rapid passages, is infinitely more distinct than is that of some of the best declaimers on the stage. Ilex voice is completely under command, and it possesses that flexibility wh ich can be acquired Only assi (Nous practice.

From that moment 4earl s aice on she had el position, and we hail her pp thei achieved Yt stage as an earnest that the days are at length ap proaelling, when we may h ave us yet, with the exception f an Engli s h opera (for, ° Artaxerxe s we have no work deserving the name), and that the regeneration of the musical drama i n thi s country, so begun by Miss Adelaid e Kemble, will not be retarded by that lady's early retirement from her profession. Miss Adelaide Kembl e l her Semiramide. iar added to her triumphs by perior to li She conception of the part is su ewas, indeed, the Queen. To the impassioned majestic dig n it y of a intensity of a Malibran she joins the Siddons. In the m a g nificent scena, " Arsace will - return," in the first act, she burst forth in h er f u ll strength and splendour, Y Ge---0-2--1 V 2ë - rd at the conclusion of the act, when the ade of Ninus appears, never were the horpota nscience-stricken guilt more appallingly dep'etei' an they were by Miss Adelaide Kembh... She reminded us forcibly of Pasta in this scene. The second act opens with a duet between Semiramide and Assur (Mr. Giubilci), which was given with int , mense power and effect, and was loudly applauded. Then followed the most beautiful murceau or the opera, the duet " Oh, day of Ikrror" - (the " Giorno . d'orrore" of the Malian version), by Miss Adelaide Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw. Frequently as we have heard this exquisite duet, with a perfect recol lection of Malibran and Pisaroni, and. of G risi and Brambilla, we have no hesitation in saying. that we never heard it to such perfection as . . on Saturday evening. In fact, we cannot imagine anything supe rior to it ; it may b? equalled, it cannot be surpassed, for it was perfeat. It is needless to say that there was an unanimous call for its repetition, which was of course complied with. This was the -only encore or tke evening. The concluding trio in the tomb of Ninus was beautifully given by Miss A'. Kemble Mrs. A. Sha w , an d Mr. Cr'uibelei, and the pi ec e concluded with one of the most extraordinary scenic effects ever exhibited. Immediately that the shade of Ninus has been appeased by the sacrifice of hid murderers, Se miramido and Assur ' the tomb s i n k s , an d tie' Grand Place in f ron t o f the Palace, with the City ofßabylon and the tower of Belus in the distance, is discovered, and the stage is filled with warriors, captives, priests, &c., who hail Arsace as their Sovereign. On the fall of the curtain Miss Adelaide Kemble turd Mrs. Alfred Shaw were called ior, and were led on, the former by 7 Ar. Cooper, and the latter by Mr. Giuhilei. Bouquets %v ere showered on the stage, and amidst the waving o f hats and handkerchiefs, and the most enthusiastic bursts of applause, they withdrew. Mr. Giubilers deep and sonorous bas 3 told excellently in Assur. Leffler ' as Oroe, acted the part judiciously, but seemed out of voice. Great praise is due to Mr. Travers for his chaste and musician-like singing in the part of Idreno. This gentle man is a valuable acquisition to the. operatic corps of Covent-garden. It has been asked why Mr. Harrison was not cast for Idreno; we, however, are glad that he was not. Idreno is not a character • that will bear Macheathising. The choruses . were most efficient, and their picturesque groupings an d appropriate!action, contrast most favourably with the lead-alive appearance of the . chorus singers at the Italian Opera. The costumes were superb, and, a re have before observed, the scenery, decorations, gird , Sipointments, surpass in splendour anything that has yet been produced. Semiramide will no doubt draw crowded houses. The theatre was crammed long before tire rising of the curtain. • CORONERS' INQUESTS. (in Saturday evening, a lengthened investigation took place at the King of Prussia, Lower John-street, Golden-square, before Mr. Higgs ' on view of the body of Miss Elizabeth Campbell, aged 43, a maiden lady of independence, whose death occurred under the fol lowing shocking and lamentable circumstances : Ellen Joyce, cook in the deceased's establishment, No. 19, Golden-square, deposed that about eleven o'clock on the morning of Friday, the 16th uatimo, the deceased, who had been indisposed for about three weeks previously, and under the care of Mr. Johnston, a surgeon, was ordered to take by that gentleman a table-:ipounful of potash mixed with a table-spoonful of milk. Witness, by the desire of Miss Hannah Campbell, the deceased's sister, went to the shop of Mr. Marshall, chemist, of Lower James 7 street, Gol den-square ; a young man was in the shop, and she asked him to serve her with as small a quantity of potash as he could. Witness then left the shop to go elsewhere, and returned in a few minutes, when a phial was given her by the young man wrapped in paper. Sha took it home to Miss Hannah Campbell. Mary Ann Mason, housemaid in the family, de posed that she was in the deceased's bed-room when Miss Hannah brought in the phial containing the potash. She gave the deceased a table-spoonful of the potash, mixed with a table-spoonful of milk. Immediately the deceased swallowed it she appeared greatly convulsed, and exclaimed " I am poisoned—l am all on lire." She rolled about the bed in the ut most possible agony. Mr. Key, assistant to Mr. Johnston, arrived in about five minutes, and admi nistered a draught and some drops and water, whieb appeared to relieve the deceased slightly. Mr. John ston arrived soon afterwards. Mr. Francis Johnston, surgeon, of Beak-street, Re gent•street, stated, that he had attended the deceased since the 9th of September last, with inflammation of the bowels. On the 16th he ordered the deceased a table-spoonful of potash-water, mixed with the same quantity of milk. After she had taken it he was sent fin. and on looking at the phial he discovered she hail taken a different article from what he had prescribed. The deceased was suffering under great agony. lie administered antidotes, which gave her temporary relief. She lingered in a very precarious state until the 21st, when Pr. APLeod,..Alr.Copqlatal, and witness, met in consultation. She died on Thurs day. On a post-mortem examination, witness disco vered extensive disease of the viscera. The deceased's death was occasioned by apoplexy. 1:y the COROMIN—The phial contained a CALLS tic preparation of potash, which ought only to be taken oy drops, and that in a diluted state. -In half an hour the Jury returned a verdict of " Apoplexy, accelerated by the administration of candle potash; and the Jury regret the surgeon did not write a prescription, and the chemist Was een surahle in not labelling the word poison' on the phial." An inquisition was taken before Mr. Waklev on Saturday, at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of Thomas APAllester, aged 55, servant to Messrs. Jordan and Son, of Southampton-street, 13loomsburv square. John - Al 4 Carthy stated that he was a fellow-servant Of the decea.sed, and he brought him to the hospital by the advice of 1)r. Coke, of Howland-street, Fitz roy-square, on Saturday l:tst, in consequence of his suffering from a diseases! throat. Mr.,Corfe, the apothecary of the hospital, refused the deceased ad mittance, on the ground that it was not a case of emergency, and that Saturday was not one of the receiving days. On Tuesday last, a letter hawing been obtained from one of the Governors . of the hos pital, the witness brought deceased again, and he was placed in the physician's room on a couch. Ile coughed and spit blood while he was there, and nobody came to. attend him for an hour and a half, when Mr. Gee desired witness to remove him to the patients' room, observing that the physician's room was not the proper place for patients. 'Witness took him up in his arms, and carried him into the receiving-room, and he died in about ten minutes afterwards. . Mr. Corfe here stated, in answer to the Coroner, that a Governor's order would not Minh t patient at any tune. The admissions were left to the discretion of the medical officers of the institutim to decide upon cases of emergency. Ile denied that the deceased had been kept so long waiting. Mr. Forbes, the house surgeon, proved that the de cc eased died of consumption. - The Coroner and Jury expressed their regret thnt attention had not been sooner paid to the deceased, and said it too often happened that patients were kept waiting an unnecessary length of time, which ought Not to be the case at ►nst►tutions founded for humane and benevolent purposes. A verdict of" Natural Death' was then returned. ~........-.....-----, Shearwater, from Leith Arrived her Majesty's RAILWAY TO lIARW The Shear water having formed one . of of Liver l t icsill ioy ..l :l l l AK ;a c il i r r :::: r ri . n l g 7. l — te; pass.eng ers, i ,-, Waiting,Poo the with . their n landing, pro ceeded Id io , and tat , l A ) : :)kt iv i i•:s as late v oil:: tt3oletSxhceot-t‘iia:,sanrdciono.
