A more attentive consideration of the Revenue tables than we could yesterday bestow on them, has brought us to the conclusion that they in dicate a far worse condition of the revenue and the people than we were at first inclined to be lieve. For three months all Sir ROBERT PEEL'S measures for the relief of trade, with the excep tion of the alteration of the timber duties, have been in full operation, the tariff having become law somewhere about the commencement of the quarte". His policy has been peculiarly favoured by an early and a comparatively abundant har vest, which, defeating the aims of the speculators in grain, compelled them to enter upwards of two million quarters of corn at an Ss. duty, and threw into the Exchequer an unexpected item of nearly a million sterling. The whole amount of duties on corn last year was 525,000/. The sea son, too, has been particularly favourable for the importation of cattle, and more business has pro bably been done tinder the new tariff this quarter, than will be done in either of the two following quarters. New taxes have been in full operation for half, a year—except the In come-tax—and during the last three months we have had the full effect of the Tariff; the revenue tells with what 'results. Our readers cannot have forgotten that Sir ROBERT PEEL carried into effect a great many financial alterations, unsettling a number of things, promising some improvement to all classes, and producing great confusion and per plexity. These changes included the reduction and the augmentation of several articles of taxa tion ; and to have a correct view of the present condition of the revenue, reader of what thoset changews we must remind the e re. timber Excludin g t h e duties, which do not f affect this qu arter, the chief reductions of taxa tion were, on v ar i ous small e bY Sir R. PEST,estimated. articles of the tariff, at 27 1• 0,000/. on the whole year; on coffee, 170000 ' ; on British manufactures exported, 100 000/ , .; the reduction of the duties on stage coaches, 70,000 L—total, 010,000/. The whole of these, except the last, arc Customs duties, and, coming into operar dii at the very beginning of this quarter, they should have caused a reduction in the Customs of 110,0001. But, owing to the million sterling levied On the people's food, the Customs show a n , in. crease ,r in 000/. on the year, and 20 6,000/, on the quarter. It is plain, from the increase on the quarter, in which reductions Dave been madt far exceeding the increase for the year, that but for the bread tax the Customs' duties would have exhibited a great deficiency. The increase of taxation was in other articles. datios on spirits in Ireland iras increased ls. a gallon, which was estimated to yield 250,000/. a year; the duties on stamps were equalised the two countries, and from that Sir R. PEEL expected to gain 160,000/. ; and the duties on tilt exports of coals, as finally settled at 2s. per ton, lie calculated at 100,000/.---total, 510,000/. Ex cept the last, which is a Customs' duty, these be . •••Tong to the Extcise.anilttzmps . The increase in the spirit duties, which came into operation, should have caused an augmentation of the Excite duties in the year to the extent of 1.2.,,,,A;(1., and on the quarter of 62,500/.; whereas t7,e f tili ng o ff is, on the year, 733,4481., and on The real falling o ff in the quarter, 434,8811. the Excise in the year, therefore, is equivalent to 858,4481.; and in the quarter to 497,331/. In like manner the revenue from stamps for the year should have been increased by the sum of 80,0001., and for the quarter by the sum of 40,000/., whereas the deficiency for the year is 139,7121., and for the quarter 101,224/., indi cating a real falling off in the year of 219,712/., and in the quarter of 144,2441. a Mr. SHAW stated at the Witham Agricultural i Meeting on Thursday— There is an observation that I would make on an- ' other subject, though I feel it is tender ground, and I will say but a few words. You have been pleased to observe that somewhat more of latitude should be given to the tenants in respect to their leases. Now I do say, independent of the main consideration of the importance of leases to the tenant, that in the leases generally granted, nothing on earth, looking to the state of agriculture at the pifsent time, can be more injurious and absurd than the majority of leases now a-days.—(Cheers.) Those leases have been taken- from old documents, handed down from time to time, and not adapted to the circumstances of the times ; and I am glad to see, that a gentleman standing so high as the Chairman does, has expressed sentiments that lead you to hope, that if he grants leases to his tenants he will see them modernised, so as to enable the occupiers to manage their farms in accordance with the advanced and improved system of the day. Mr. BEADLE also said— Rejecting the two items of stage coaches and of export duties on coals, as nearly balancing each other, the comparison of the quarter ending October 10, 1842, with the quarter ending October 10, 1841, is as follows :—Taking the unexpected yield of the bread-tax at only 600,0001., the stated produce of the Income-tax at 313,8441., the new duties on cattle, sheep, &c., at 10,0001., the estimated increase of the Excise duties at 62,5001., and the increase of the Stamp at 40,0001., there should have been an increase of revenue in the present quarter of 1,026,3441. From this we lima deduct the reductions of taxation, or the fourth part of Sir R. PEEL'S estimate for the year, namely, small articles of the tariff, 67,5001.; coffee, 42,5001.; British manufactures exported, 25,0001.; total, 135,000/., leaving a sum of 891,3441., which the revenue in the quarter just expired, had Sir ROBERT PEEL'. financial schemes been successful, ought to have been greater than the revenue for the correspond ing quarter of 1841. It was, however, 67,4731. less, which added to 891,3441. gives 958,8171. as the sum which the revenue on the quarter it worse than Sir R. PEEL'S anticipations, and worse than the revenue for the corresponding quarter last year. Some of our Contemporaries dwell on the Turn-out as something for which Sir R. PEEL'b policy is not responsible, and which may never happen again. But public disappointment was the consequence of his proceedings, and as long as he persists in levying enormous taxation, without liberating industry, he must expect that the people will be plunged in distress, and will endeavour to obtain relief by violence. Some thing similar has continually occurred, and such scenes are the consequences of our Corn-laws, and our system of primogeniture. Now that the actual Turn-out is at an end, the country is put to a great expense to carry the law into execution, and to maintain a preventive and protective police; we cannot anti. cipate times, therefore. in which there shall be no turn-outs, and, consequently, we dread that the accounts for each succeeding quarter will bring us similar or greater deficiencies, which, at the end of the year, will be so great that the Income-tax will do little more than supply them. The majorit3 of public writers seem to have anticipated, like ourselves, a considerable increase of revenue this quarter, and that, instead of such increase, an alarming deficiency is exhibited, is the most severe blow whic'h the long-cherished hopes of the nation have yet received. At the commencement of July, Sir ROBERT PEEL referred to the good-working of his Corn.. law ; at the commencement of October, three months after all his measures, which are especi ally intended to relieve the public distress, have come into operation, we may refer to their ef fects. What are they ? Distress is increasing, commerce is slowly stagnating, manufactures are coming to a still stand, and the revenue is dwind ling away. Tariffs abroad and at home art slowly but surely extinguishing the prosperity of England. Hope, too, " the lingering charmer," .is taking her flight; and, bad as is the present state of Manchester, Paisley, Leeds, and Glas gow, the prospect there is lost in the deepest gloom. Under the most favourable auspices of a brilliant sky and a confiding people, our great political experimentalist has tested his theories; Sir ROBERT PEEL has had a fair trial; he pro fessed to cure the public disorders—he has com pletely failed. I am tied to no covenants except to pay a good rent and grow as much as I can, and I mean to carry out the everlasting shift—(Laughter)--for I tell my land lord if he finds three months fallow, he may consider the lease forfeited, and take the farm at once. In these two passages there is a thorough and complete condemnation by practical farmers of the system of letting land hitherto followed in England, to which we know, by the example of the Lothians, the prosperity of the country has been sacrificed. Farmers in England are every where tied down in the cultivation of the land by absurd covenants, or absurd customs, and Mr. BEADLE shows, both by his words and his suc cess, that free trade in cultivating the soil is as much for the benefit of individual farmers as for the public good. The Charge delivered by the Bishop of LONDON to the clergy of his diocese, is of that hesitating, undecided character, which might be expected from a Prelate who, in the House of Lords, has generally shown himself something of a tempo rizer—a sort of expediency-man, desirous to curry favour with all parties, and commit himself to no firm, decided. course of policy. We have read his Lordship's Charge with some attention, and though, in almost every second paragraph, we find hint recurring to the one great Church question of the day, Puseyism, we protest we are wholly unable to discover what are his real sentiments on the subject. Judging from the tenor of one sentence, we should say he was a Tractarian—judging from the next, we should say he was a decided Anti fractarian. He seems to vibrate, like a pendulum, between the two. Now he inclines to High Church—now he gives a patronizing slap on the back to Low Church. In one sentence the Puseyites may fairly claim him as a proselyte—in 'another, they must regard him as an opponent. He tells Us one moment that he dislikes their Formalism, yet immediately after wards we find him giving it his august sanction . In fact, throughout his Charge, his Lordship ex hibits a 3 many changes as a cameleon. " A man" —as Mrs. QUICKLY slid of FALSTAFF- 4 ' knows not what to make of him !" He is the very PRO TEUS of Episcopacy. It is but justice, however, to state, that on all insignificant points, wholly unworthy of discus sion, his Lordship's opinions are plain and settled enough. He is nobly tolerant on trifles—liberal to excess on matters where liberality involves no sacrifices. Thus he tells his clergy—" In regard to worshipping towards the east, it was an ancient practice, being alluded to by, CLEMENT of Alex andria, TERTULLIAN, and others. He would not have the clergyman, when reading, to turn his back upon the people. He ap proved of the manner of constructing the reading desk, which onay be seen in some of our churches, which enables the clergyman ro turn to the south while praying, and to the east during the lessons. He did not object to candles being placed on the altar during divine service, if they were only allowed to burn when the church or chapel was lighted up. It had been recently debated whether a clergyman should preach in his surplice, or in his academi cal gown. He thought that when there was only one officiating clergyman, that it was much better for him to ascend the pulpit immediately after eaving the communion -table, and thus preach in his surplice. The gown was probably first worn by lecturers when there was no communion service. On the whole, he thought it would be wise if the clergy would preach in their surplices la the morning, and in their gowns in the ifternoon." It is pleasant to find the two leading Tory journals, though their motives be something like spite against the master manufacturers, become the zealous advocates of the industrious classes. The Post has found out that our labourers, without free trade with the Continent to reduce them to the level of the continental labourers, are naked like the Irish, and greatly in want of food like the English. The Times, too, has dis covered that whatever change may be made in our commercial relations, the labouring work mei, never participate in the gain, and that whateve► losses may be incurred, they chiefly have to had the piper. These are most important admissions, considering that these journals are the zealou!. advocates ofConservative policy, that the classes whom they describe as being so destitute and so unjustly treated, constitute by far the largest part of society, and that the Government which they defend is established and upheld for the sole purpose of promoting the welfare of the majority, or the greatest happiness of the greatest number. It must be comforting to the clergy of his Lordship's diocese to know that, though he has no settled opinions to enunciate respecting Puseyism, yet that there cart be no mistaking iris meaning on the momentous question of the gown and the surplice ! He is most unequivocally and unquestionably of opinion that the pastors of his See should be surpliced in the morning and gowned in the evening; and that they should turn to • the south while praying, arid to the east while reading the lessons. On another important matter his Lordship isnot less explicit and satisfactory. He has not the slightest objection to candles being placed on the altar during divine service, provided they be si necure candles—that is to say, candles not in tended to be lighted until a certain orthodox hour. These concessions his Lordship, in his exzeeding magnanimity, is not unwilling to make to Puseyism; but alas! in the very next sentence he proceeds to neutralise their effect, by stating that he hopes his " clergy will bar in mind that religion does not consist in externals and ceremoniabobservances." Thus, it appears, he will concede to the Puseyites all that is not worth withholding; and while he flatters them, by telling them, in his most gracious and patronizing manner, that they have done great good by setting the iitshion of a " stricter Church discipline,' yet, he adds, that they have "gone beyond the line in attaching _ importance to things in themselves non-essentials." Is his Lordship u Puseyite, or is he not? On the dignified and eminently spiritual questions of the gown, the surplice, and the candles, he is Puseyite beyond all doubt ; but on other points it is equally be yond a doubt, that he is Anti-Puseyite. His Charge is a curious puzzle, admirably calculated, however, to answer its purpose—that of per leensxte i id n t ei g l fie all rn l ifi l t o ln, n wfl e s ee t s , h s c, t a r nn a o i grgl give eo fo do r fr w e a di r t7 d people. The h i e s ;ri t n h g a . t " it is Both these journals adopt this line of argument in order to throw a slur on the master manufac turers, who ought, they think, patriotically and philanthropically to provide for all the labourers they may have ever employed, whether they re quire their services or not. The master manu facturers, however, make no pretexts or profes sions of the kind. They avow that they study their own welfare. They do not disguise their selfishness. They do not set up for the defenders of the poor. They ask no rewards, they receive no homage for pretending to perform any such services. The labour which they need they buy in the market, as other men buy hats and shoes; and as a man is acquitted of all obligation to his hat-maker and his shoe-maker when he pays for the articles, so a man who hires labour is ac quitted of all obligations to the labourers when he honestly p a y s t h em t h e pr i ce h e h as con ' , tracted to pay. At least, these are all the obli gations of justice ; there are those of charity and kindly feeling which are common to all men, and as much a duty of the labourer, within his sphere, as of the employer. The Government, with all its pomp and power, all its taxes and penal laws, all it s provision for a great army and a great body of clergy, all its establishments for education and protection, pre tends to provide for the welfare of society. l takes that important duty on itself. It will not allow other persons, like the Chartists, to inter fere with it. The Government has no selfishness, it receives homage, and exacts a rich reward for defending the people against all kinds of evil. It interferes with them, it controls them, it pre tends to regulate them, and it makes itself re sponsible for their happiness. The complaints and descriptions of our Con temporaries, then, do not affect the master manufacturers, but they are a bitter satire on the Government. When it allows the working classes to bear exclusively all the evils of society, and does not take . care to give them their full share of every improvement—when the multi tude want food and clothing, and it does not provide bOth, the Government grossly neglects its duty, and completely fails to accomplish the purpose for which it demands and receives the 'obedience of the people. When one leading Conservative journal shows that the labouring workmen are always oppressed, and another . omplains that they are half starved and in rags, may we not anticipate the coming of a political .millennium, when the Conservative Peer shall Invite the workman to share his political power, aid the bulk of the landowners shall fbrego all rent, and the bulk of the clergy give up their ,Wealth to the Poor, for whom it was originally intended We rejoice toseearmiMgst the agriculturists a spirit of improvement which i s taking the di rt ction of freedom from restraint.

The great movement now in progress among the German States promises to be attended with important results to this country and } t rance. A strong desire is manifested throughout all those districts where the German language is spoken, to form a political as well as a commer cial union, which shall be animated by the same spirit, and above all by one feeling in common— a feeling of national honour. The disjunction of the Italian States, and the ruinous civil wars which they long carried on against each other, have rendered Italy all but helpless, and made her, on the ocasion of any great European con vulsion, the prey of the most powerful neighbour. In Germany causes of a different kind have produced nearly the same result. Had unity of council, and a national feeling of independence and patriotism prevailed through out that extensive and fertile territory, inhabited by people speaking the same language, and hav ing many interests in common, the French would have boasted of fewer victories during the last war, and the different electorates and kingdoms, as well as the empire itself, would have, been spared those defeats and devastations which brought them successively under the dominion of NAPOLEON. " Every misfortune," it is well observed by a German writer, " that we have suffered for centuries, may be traced to one cause, and that is, that we have ceased to consider ourselves a united nation of brothers, whose first duty it is to exert our common efforts to oppose the common enemy." The sovereigns, and the people too, begin to see the real cause of their weakness, and are cordially joining in one general effort to break down the barriers which so long separated them and rendered them so defenceless against a powerful and united people. Prussia began the work ; it has been responded to by Austria ; and the watchword is, usi:.g the language of the Archduke JOHN, " No Austria; no Prussia ! But one Germany, strong as her mountains." The Commercial League has con tributed not a little to this national movement, but it may be traced to a still greater cause, for which M: THIERS deserves especial thanks. The mad war cry which he excited two years ago acted like an electric shock on the minds of the Germans, and recalled the sufferings, the insults, the levies of money, and all the horrors of the last war. Writers in French journals added ex citement to the general feeling. They proposed an inroad into Germany, and claimed the Rhine as the natural boundary of France; the Ger mans responded to the threat, patriotic songs were heard in every town, and village, and ham let, along the banks of" their own Rhine," and but one feeling, that of resistance to the French, animated every State. Out of evil, therefore, cometh good; and perhaps no greater good could be conferred on Europe than a general confede ration, which should unite the Saxon race in the heart of Europe, forming a barrier against Rus sia on the north, and a security also against any invasion from France on the west. No event could contribute more to tile peace of the world. The Germans are a quiet, industrious, and intelligent people, and when formed into one compact body, occupying a vast extent of country, and possess ing great national resources, they would be in a position to act their own part, willing to follow out the bent of their natural dispositions, and at the same time prepared to resent any wanton in terference with their independence. •The conduct of the present GoVernment with respect to the Scotch Church, has placed the Non-Intrusionists in a sad dilemma. While the Whigs were in office, Dr. CHALMERS and other leaders paid the utmost court to the Tories, and made it very evident that, if Sir HOBERT PEEL would only accede to their wishes, they would obtain for hint a vast increase of political power in the North : but all this gentle dalliance, and all these lair.promises, were in vain—the Pre mier remained deaf to their charming, and the cold and distant manner which he displayed towards them on the late Royal visit, has left them ;c.) hope but in a determined opposition to his will. The present Government, they say, have faith lessly broken their promises, and deceived the people and Church of Scotland; and they are resolved, therefore, to give that Government and .!11 its supporters the most determined opposition. W hat party, then, ,will they support? They cannot with any show of decency tall back upon their old enemies, who not only refused to do anything for them, but v4 , lutonly opposed the patristic Bills of Mr. CAMPBELL and tire Duke of ARGYLL. They have no resource now but public sympathy, and that seems also to be de serting their cause. Accounts from Madrid of the 3d inst., state that two propositions had been made in Madrid to the Spanish Minister of Finance —one by M. SALAMANCA, in his own name—the other by M. WEISSWILLER (the agent of the house of ROTHS- C H ILD i❑ the Spanish capital), for the loan of 40,000,000 of reals. The Ibriner proposed to ;ive 28,000,000 in bills on Paris-and London, _aid the remaining 12,000,000 in Spanish Go vernment securities.

Great discontent prevails in the south of France, caused by the diminished sale and also fill in the price of wine. It would appear from iome of the journals that the interests of the wine producers in the south and the manufacturers in Lhe north are incompatible. The Siecle admits • hat great discontent prevails, and adds : "'The disobedience to the law, the oblivion of na ,ionality, and the treasonable menaces of the Borde ais. Such terms are li,ard, as France of the North ind France of the South. People there talk of )reaking up the unity of the country, the great work 4' the constituent assembly. There is an attempt or .fanized to refuse to pay takes, or to pay them but in Some proprietors let their wines be seizud rather than pay.

WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning in the Slopes and after wards took a drive in the Home Park in a small pony phaeton. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken their usual airings. _ _ _ Her Majesty, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyt tleton, rode out in the afternoon in a pony carriage and four, followed by the Hon. Georgiana Stanley and Hon. Cletnentina Hamilton, the Maids of Honour in Waiting, in a pony phaeton and four, his Royal Highness Prince Albert being on horseback, attended by Lord Byron, Sir Edward Bowater, and Colonel Arbuthnot. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Sir George Couper, Bart., will join the Royal dinner circle at the Castle, this evening. His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured Mr. N. Newenham, this morning, by a sitting for a full length portrait of his Royal Highness, for the Junior United Service Club. _ Lord Byron arrived at the Castle to-day, and has succeeded Lord Rivers as the Lord in Waiting on the Queen, and General the Hon. Sir William Lumley. has succeeeed the Hon. Captain Duncombe as the Groom in Waiting on her Majesty. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has taken his jparture from Raby Castle, on his return to town. Lord Stanley has left Drayton Manor, Stafford shire, the seat of Sir R. Peel, for the residence of the Earl of Derby, Knowsley *Hall, Prescot, Lancashire. The Danish Minister transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The Hon. Edward Stewart, Deputy-Chairman of the Customs, transacted business yesterday at the Office of the Board of Trade. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—As abuses are generally corrected by the aid of the public Press, I trouble you with a few lines, to state what occurred to a party of foreign friends on Sunday afternoon, at Windsor. I accompanied the Duke and Duchess de Noja, Prince and Princess dc St. Elia, and the Marquis. del Gregurio, to take a coup d' cell of St. George's Chapel. The attendant told me that when the congregation dispersed he would let my friends in. We waited very patiently at the chapel door, nearly an hour, and as a bystander hinted , that the attendant only wished to deceive us (being already eiigaged with another party) as I saw Mr. Jesse, whom I knew, speak to the door keeper as he passed. I asked Mr. Jesse if he thought we should be allowed to enter as promised, as my friends otherwise, who were only passing through Windsor on their tour, would have no other opportu nity of seeing tlie chapel. Mr. Jesse assured me the door-keeper must admit us. When the last of the congregation had left, we ap proached the then open door, when it was rudely slammed in our faces and the key turned ! I leave you to judge the impression such an un warrantable insult must have on the minds of these noble Sicilians, who are, in their own country, so proverbially hospitable to strangers, but more particu larly so towards Englishmen. J. R. Reform Club, Oct. 11, 1842. CHANCERY OFFICES ACT. SERVICES OF NOTICES. This Act, the sth and 6th Vict. c. 103, will come into effect on the 28th instant. We are not aware that there is any intention to exercise the power of suspending its operation. Practitioners in Chancery should be prepared accordingly ; and, amongst other things we would particularly call their attention to the effect of the abolition of the Six Clerks' Office in regard to the service of notices, war rants, and other proceedings. These, instead of being left at the Six Clerks' Office, must, in all probability, be served at the offices of the respective solicitors to the parties. There may be, at first, some inconvenience in this change, but we believe it will ultimately be found beneficial. In Common Law causes, the summonses and notices arc always served on the opposite attorney, and it will soon become familiar and easy to pursue the same practice in Chancery. It was lately intended to permit the transmission of notices by the post, but it may be questionable whether this course will be expedient or safe in ad verse cases, and the subject requires much con sideration before it is adopted.. We hope soon to be enabled to put our readers in possession of the intended New Orders for carrying the details of the Act into effect.—Legal Observer. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, ORE. ViLLE-STREET. The quarterly general meeting of the Governor;of this charity was held last night, for, probably, th( last time in the rooms of the Institution in Greville street. The Rev. R. C. PACIEMAN, the secretary, read th( , Report, which stated that the Committee - had great satisfaction in congratulating the Governors, after their continued exertion, on the strong hold w hich the charity was now taking upon public opinion and sup port. The correspondent“ between the secretary o' the Hospital and the Secretary of State for the Hom( Department, and the conference between the Mana gers and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had bees published ; and after the Government had ultimately determined to declif ! e advising a grant, fron the fear of its being construed into a pre cedent, while they emphatically acknowledge , . the great utility of the charity, the noble offer o; Lord Robert Grosvenor to endeavour to effect the same object by public and private subscription, was set forth. The result had been that those large pre mises in Gray's Inn-road, formerly the barracks 01 the City Light Horse, had been purchased, which will allow of about 500 beds, instead of the limited num ber in the present building. Already Lord Onslow has sent 100 guineas ; a Lady, anonymously, 100/. ; Lord Southampton, 20 guineas ; Lord Sherburne, 20/. ; Mr. Dickie, 501. ; Mr. Jeremiah Olive, 50/. : and others, making the receipts of three months up wards of 4201. beyond those of the corresponding quarter of last year. the number of patients during the last quarter was 4,914. This Report was exceedingly well received, and there is now reason to hope that the sick and friend less poor will be much more largely and adequately provided for than has hitherto been the case. Thanks were voted to the Chairman and Secretary ; and the meeting separated. The PORT OF LONDON. — Lord Mayor and the. Navigation Committee have come to the determina tion that Captain Fisher, R.N., the principal Har'ooui master of the Port of London, shall in May next com mence the work' of clearing away the wrecks of the Apollo, and the Waterwitch, which, it will be recol lected, were sunk in the Thames about five years ago. It has been found necessary to direct such operations, as a bank of considerable extent has risen above the wrecks, and between 12 and 15 anchors and chain cables are now foul of them. If Captain Fisher fail in lifting up the wrecks (and great diffi culty may occur in consequence of the decayed con dition of the vessels), he is to proceed to remove them by explosion. Downes, the celebrated diver, has al ready surveyed the engine -room. Mr. Henry Betty has been performing some of his most successful characters at Margate during the past week. In Romeo and Macbeth his fame has al ready spread, and people are now aware of the excel• lence of his performance in these and other of Shak speare's plays. This talented actor has now made his debut in two fresh characters—that of Claude Mel notte in the Lady of Lyons, and Thoas in the Athenian Captive. Both of these he sustained with intense feeling and great effect. His performance wa. , honoured with the presence of the elite of the place. The celebrated and talented author, Mr. Ser geant Talfourd, came d own purposely to witness Mr. Betty's representation of Thoas, which appeared to agree perfectly with his conception, as he joined con stantly in the applause which resounded on all sides. Sznfous AFFAlR.—yesterday two carters belong ing to Portobello, one of them named Purves the other Fife, brought a case before the Sheriff Small Debt Court, originati ng i n some dispute regarding the sale or excha nge o f a h orse .
