We lay before our Readers, this 'day, some ad ditional circumstances of the outrages which have been committed in different parts of this country. The apprehensions excited by those transactions, as well as by the knowledge that a system prevails in several counties, from which outrages equally desperate and criminal may be still expected, have reached to a great extent among those of loyal teelings and peaceable habits, and nteasures are in progress to meet and restrain the evil—and it is to be hoped that those measures may carry in them a sufficient degree of strength and vigour for their object. A Requisition, signed by Lord Clonbrock, Jas. Daly, .C. Le Poer - Trench, John Iltoke, Arthur A. Nugent, D. H. Kelly, J. Fl. Burke, a B. Power, Richald Rathborne, H. T. Dolphin, Wm.

THE THEATRE. COVFNT-GARDEN.—SotITHE.RE'S afreern?, gedy was represented On Saturday at this The atre, for the purpose of introdoc:ng Mrs. De JERSRY lieaumosT in the character of its heroine, Isabella —This Lady has been long and favourably known as a Provincial Performer, particularly in Scotland, where she had acquired very high cele brity. Notwithstanding our inevitable recollec tions of those two great Actresses, whose dyamt tic lustre has been eclipsed, of the one by the shado~cs of 'rim e , of the vher by the veil of Hymen, Mrs. BFAUMONIT sustained her atOuou3 enteiprize with mnch and deserved success., This Lady possess,s H neat figure, :and A wellmatlied countenance, which seems, however, better qua 'Hied for expressing the stir - roger than the more tender feelings. Her voice is good ; though i's under tones were in some degree impaired by the embarrassment-of her situation. In several pas sages she was warmly applauded—particularly in her hesitation at knocking at Count f_in/dzein's door, until forced to it by the sight of her child ; and in her entreaties to the obdurate Nobleman. We were much pleased with her bye-play • linaugh the whole peaormance ; and I;er struggling exer tions to appear tranquil, end even happy, after her onion with Villeroy, proved ber thorough conversance with the Stage. Mrs. BBAUMoNT is not, perhaps, exactly suited for rite younger he roines of the Drama ; but in characters Or 1116- u - only dignity or distress, she is abundantly both by nature and talents, for interesting our feelings:- To say that she is respectably al lied both by birth and marriage, or that she seeks the public favour under that most respect able of all inducements, the welfare of her chil dren, is to bespeak compassion only, and nut ap plause :—but we really think Mrs. Beaomoarr will prove an acquisition to the Metropolitan Stage, and that sire deserves, what we trust she will obtain, a permanent station in a Winter Theatre. CHEAP SOUP. [FROM THE COOK'S ORACLE.] " SHIN OF BEEF STEWED. “ Crack the bone in two or three places, and put it into a stewpau, and just cover it with wa fer, a bundle of sweet herbs, a large onio” with four Cloves stuck in it, a head of celery, a dozen berries of black pepper, and the same of allspice stew very gently over a slow fire till the meat is tender, this will take from about three hours end a half to four and a half. 'rake (lace cariots and cut them into small squares ; peel and cut 'Cady in small squares a couple of turnips, and a couple' of dozen of small young onions; boil them OH tender, (the turnips find Onions will be enough in about fifteen minutes, the carrots will require about twice as long), and drain them dry. When the beef is quite tender take it out carefully with a slice, and put it on a dish while you thicken your gravy : to do this, mix three table-t,poons ful of flour with a tea-cupful of the beef liquor; stir this thorotr4hly into a pint' and half of the beef liquor, let it boil up for ten minutes, s..7utra off the fat, strain it through a sieve, put your vegetables in to warm ; season with pepper, salt, mud a wine glass of . mushroom catsup, or port wine, or both, and pour it over the beef. " Seed up wow-wow sauce in a boat. " N. 15. Or, instead of sending up the beef with the hone, cut the meat into handsome pieces fit to help at table, lay it in the middle of the dish, with the vegeinbles and source round it. " Obs —This lish has every claim to the atten tion of the rational epicure, being one of those in which frugality,' nourishment,' and ' lateableness,' are most happily combined. We advise the *Mistress of the table to call it ' , Ragout Beef,' and it will be eaten wills unanimous ap plause ; while the homely appellation of Shin of Beet stewed,' is enough to give your genteel eater a locked jaw. Remember, when the judgment's weak, the prejudice is strung.' "Our us:J(lcm Epicures (and wou'd-bethought Palaticians) resemble the ancient, who tliou►gh►t the dearest dish. must he the most delicious. Thus they reckon Turtle and Punch to be 1 sheventy. foive per siteut' more inviting to their tasteless palates, than Mock Turtle and good Malt Liquor, however bad the former may he, and however good the latter. We %visit these folks could be made to understand, that the Soup for each, and all the accompaniments, are precisely the same; them} is this only difference, the tormer is com monly made with a ' STARVED TURTLE,' the Lit ter with 8 FATTED CALF.' " The scarcity of tolerable good Cooks ceases to he surprising, when we reflect bow much more astonishing is the ignorance of most of those who assume the character of scientific Gourr!►ands, so extremely ignorant of the Affairs of the Month,' they seem hardly to know a Sheep's Head from a Carrot ;' and their real pretensions to be pro.. found l'abiticians, are as moderate as the wine merchant's customer, whose sagacity in the selec tion of liquot s was only so exquisi.e, that he knew that Port • Wine was black, and that if he drank enough of it, it wonld make him drunk." *** Anxious to p:otnote the laudable pur poses of those benevolent Institutions, .w hick are so honourable to the country, we avail ourselves of an extract from a book deservedly popular, from the humour which is blended wi►h its uti lity, and which may really be considered as a be nefit to all classes of society.

LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING rt'.,l)l_.:RS OF THIS D s [The Times.] SHELTER FOR THE HOUSELESS. The interest we have taken in this Charity ''ill, we trust, he our sufficitot excose with the Public for conveyiog to them 1111iy a minute detail of its progress. We Notre, also, by that mode, when • ever diflieolties may arise that r're likely to pede its course, to obtain the' hints of tire gent, and the personal aid of the active, io re v moving them. The attention of the more active Members was piourPtly called, on Saturday, to the removal of the grievanced and impositions mentioned in our Paper of tiott day. Different committees, both at the Mansion - House ander the I.*: tie's Head in the Peittlay, were in eonsal- ►.cation, and checks have been devised to preveoc future imposition. An order was issued, we un derstand, to admit applicants between the hoots of nine and twelve at night only. The disap pearance of the frost will be followed by a strict investigation of the means tor pro curing employment possessed by each indivi aura; and all who are found capable, or appear to he so, will be discharged ; and, as we seggested. relief will absolutely be refused to all persons who may come in from tire country. The' most serious evil at present to be encounter ed arises from the interference with the regelar administration of the Poor Laws. The neigh bouring polishes to the Ittfuge in London-wall are said to be under considerable appreheusious lest they should be called on to remove the per sons from the house who have that for the mo ment dot»iciliated themselves on the spot. Legal advice has heen resorted to, afol.it will reqoire alt the wisdom the Committees may possess, or Can bring to their aid, to extricate .themselves from. the difficulties incurred by. snUring such an as semblage of beman misery to fix itself in one pa rish. Even the internal government of the Asy lum, oft account of. the great increase in the num ber of its inmates, is become a work of touch dif. fieulty, and it is apprehended that some intelli gent indisidual must be appointed, who is expe reneed in the management of the pow, with an adequate temuneratiou, to take upon iiitu the so perintendepee of the whole, and to devote his en tire attention to that purpose. however zealous the members of the noose Committee may be, there are duties not to be performed without some hid of that nature, and which may still be com pletely subjected to their control'', Aledotime the tit t nio,t strictness is exercised in excluding all objects proved to be undeserving, as was evinced oa t Satorday, when two sailors, who were ascer tained to have refused an offer of employment at 21- per mon.th, were immediately discharged., The regulation of tire srameo who are under the care of the Charity obviously requires a distinct species of discipline, and the aid of the Committee of the Society for the Relief of Destitute Seattle') seems absolutely necessary, though we have not heard that any arrangement for that purpose has hi therto been eff.'cted, lit the course of Satur day two persons died in the Asylum, and three others were considered in a (huger:ins state. These poor creatures lied no disease whatever, but: were received into the house in a state of total ex haustion. The change from starvation and ex posure to the weather, to-milk diet and warm air, proved to he more than their enfeebled constitu tions were able to sustain ; and nature sunk tinder the etforts, however judicious, which were made to restore them. The contributions hoot the public at largecontinue to come in very freely ; they amount ed on Saturday evening to tread. 11,000/. •1n ad dition to the benefits given at the Adelphi and Drury-lane Theatres the profits of Covent.garden to-morrow evening, and of the Surrey Theatre on Thursday, are to be devoted to the sante cause. The uunrber of inmates at London-wall on Satur day announced to nearly 750 ; and last night, though the utmost strictness is exercised in exa mining applicants, they exceeded 900. Two cler gymen, the Rev, Mr. Hatch and the Rev. Mr. Watkins, attended in the course of the day, to administer spiritual con,olation to the poor crea tures, many of whom probably had never hear , ' a sermon before in their lives. The sick persons are under the care of Dr. Conquest, whose at tendance is perfectly gratuitous. [Morning Post.] The abundance of money, and the difficulty of employing it, which are, if possible greaser than ever, has caused - Exchequer Bilis, which have been lately at a discount of ten shillings, to be at a premium of four shillings.

CEI A N,GB, JAN. 24:—Although the na vigation of the River is now tolerably free, vet notwithstanding the long suspension of business in our market, and the trifling sales that have • been made within the last three weeks, the de mand was exceedingly small this rimming, and sales of all grain as. heavy as if there had been no • obstruction by the frost. The ex hibition of ‘Vheat samples from Essex was very large, but the buyers were very indifferent about prirchasing, although the same prices only were asked as OD this day for might. Barley was also very dull sale, but prime samples obtain ed 3-ls. to 335. ; the inferior sorts were difficult to get off how 265. to 30s.
