The opera of Zanetta was produced at the theatre of the Opera Comique in 1840, with Cinti Darnoreau for the heroine, and it achieved a brilliant success and acquired a brilliant reputation. The overture was imported into England within a short time after the production of the opera, and it became a great favourite at the Drury-lane Promenade Concerts, then under the management of Eliason and Jullien. This is, we believe, the only portion of the music of Zanetta that had, until last evening, been heard in public in this country. The music of Zanetta is light, grace ful, brilliant, charaCteristic, dramatic, and thoroughly Auberish—it completely expresses the sentiment of the scene, it is married to the verse and the union is a happy one. The libretto; written by Scribe and St. Georges, is a compact and well-built and smartly written little drama, which needs not the aid of music to ensure its success. The scene is laid in the Court of Palermo during the reign or Charles VI. (M. Soyer), whose sister Nisidia (Madlle. Guichard), Princess of T arentum , i s i n love with, and beloved by Rodolphe (M. Couderc), a.gentlernanat tached to the Court of the King of Sicily. A certain Dr. Mathanasias (M. Buguet) arrives at Palermo as Ambassador from the Elector of Bavaria;-ostensibly to study the statistics of a fever peculiar to Sicily, but really to see the Princess, and if Ire finds her all a princess should be, to demand her . hand for Mil sovereign, the Elector of B avar ia. The Wife of Mathanasias has attracted the attention of the King, so that at the opening of the drama we find a most promising imbroglio. Mathanasias suspects the love of Rodolphe and the Princess, and watches them narrowly; the King suspects that Rodolphe is endeavouring to' rival him in the good graces of Madame Mathanasias, and he, therefore, is particularly alive to all the sayings and doings of Rodolphe. To divert suspicion Nisidia proposes that Rodolphe should pay attention to,some one of the Court ladies ; but as each lady is passed in review, each is rejected as too dangerous, and, at length the Princess fixes on the flower-girl Zanetta (Madlle. Charton) as the only safe person with whom she can trust Rodolphe to Philander. The experiment is, however, a dangerous one. Zanetta is a simple-minded, warm hearted girl ; she has long loved Rodolphe in secret, and is conse quently delighted with his attentions, and while he makes love in jest she makes love in earnest, and' at last becomes so terribly in earnest that Rodolphe himself is affected, and is but too glad to take advan tage of an opportunity afforded him by the je . iilOusy of Mathanasias, the suspicion of the Princess, and the misadventure of the King (who is wounded in an attempt to scale the balcony of the house of Mathanasias) to declare his passion_for Zanetta, and to demand her hand—a demand with which the King is but too willing to comply, as it dissipates all his fears with regard to Nisidia, who at once accepts the offer of the hand of the Elector of Bavaria. Mademoiselle Charton made of Zanetta the most fascinating of flower-girls; her acting was natural, graceful, and full of feeling, with at the same time a touch of the most delicious archness, and her singing was exquisite. Her opening romanza, Void la jardiniere is one of those delicious gems of melody which no maestro can compose like Auber. It is the very perfection of grace, beauty, and sim plicity, the melody flows as it were in one full rich gush. It was deliciously sung by Madlle. Charton, and in this, as in everything else that this delightful artiste sings, her action is so appropriate to the senti ment that it adds infinitely to the expression of the music. Her next romanza, Dans ces magniffues jardins, is also delightfully written, and as a piece of scoring is beyond all praise. This also was de liciously rendered by Madlle. Charton. The triumph of the evening, however, was perhaps her concluding scene, where the innocent flower girl bids adieu to her pears - cheries, and presents farewell boquets to the company. before giving up her occupation to become a Ba roness. The melody of the couplets which she sings in this scene is exquisitely beautiful, and Mademoi selle Charton throws into it an expression of such graceful tenderness and pathos, that it goes at once to the heart. She achieved a perfect triumph. Never were plaudits more deserved than those which the delighted audience lavished on Mademoiselle Charton last evening. Mademoiselle Guichard made an ex cellent representative of the Princess. Her grand scene, Pauvre Princesse, a scene replete with mu sical difficulties, was rendered as only a most ac complished artiste could render it. It is the most difficult and at the same time the least taking piece in the opera, but it was admirably given by Madlle. Guichard. M. Couderc acted and sang admi rably, notwithstanding his fit of hoarseness, for which indulgence was claimed—an indulgence of which, however, M. Coudere stood in no need. The concerted pieces in this opera are replete with snatches of brilliant sparkling melody. The drinking chorus with which it opens, " A quoi bon s'attrister sur les maux de la vie" is a perfect gem. The muse en scene of the opera was perfect. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, honoured the theatre with their presence. The Royal party arrived just before the commencement of Zanetta. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were attended by the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hon. Miss Macdonald, the Earl of Listowel, Lord Alfred Paget, and Colonel Seymour. There were also present the Condo de Montemolin and suite, her Serene Highness the Hereditary Princess of Parma, the Duke of Brunswick; the Russian Minister, the Baroness Brunnow, and Mdlle.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the d4th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from die puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p .id for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the clahn on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be , relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the nsual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a jOint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.

L I VI One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em s:tterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the pies al caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an :•omprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

James Wilson was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having stolen a pair of shoos in the shop of a house in Aldgate, in which a fire took place on Friday night. Obee (649) was on duty on Sunday morning near the shoe-shop, which had been left in the care of the fire brigade, and he saw the prisoner shoving a pair of shoes into his pocket. Upon being asked where he had got the shoes, the prisoner ran back to the door of the house and called out " Bob," and a fireman, named Robert Bradle, who was inside, opened the door. The prisoner then entered, but not before the officer pulled the shoes out of his pocket, and told the fireman that the shoes had been stolen, and that the thief must be given up. The fireman pushed against the officer and prevented him from entering, but the officer's hand with which he held the prisoner was within the door, and be sprang his rattle, and with the assistance of another officer conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. The Loan MAYOR asked the officer whether he told the fireman that he was a constable, when he demanded that the prisoner should be given up to him ?—Obee said he had distinctly told t h e f i reman w h at h e was , and that the man had brou g h t a pair of shoes out-of the shop. Mr. Braidwood, the superi n t en d ent o f t h e fi re b r i ga d e , called upon the fireman to account for his conduct. The fireman, said he did not know that the person who demanded the prisoner was a policeman, nor did he know that anything had been stolen, or he should at once have given the necessary assistance. As soon, how ever, as ho was told the fact he did' aid the policeman, and the prisoner was handed over. As for his knowledge of the prisoner, he merely knew the man to be the brother of one of the brigade, and he, therefore, opened the door to him. But if the firemen were not to be upon their guard against persons who pretended to be police men in plain clothes, a great deal of plunder might take place. Barry, 461, assisted the other officer in taking away "I saw the shoes lying the prisoner, who was holding byA frame inside. the Win.Owalune inside. did take them, and The prisoner, whose father attended, and described him as an industrious lad, who had never before been was the duty of where attempts somehow aachuste dthoef o rapol atdishonest h ee e , r I a nd put themt said,in t certainlyo my pocket." the T fi h were made to take the property saved from the awful r e e L m O e ß n D to M as a s v is o t a th s e ai p d o , li i c t e c i e n rta c i a n s l e y s calamity of a fire. The fireman—My Lord, the instant I found that he was a policeman I did all that could be necessary. Obee positively asserted that the fireman had assisted the prisoner after he (witness) had said he was a policeman, and that the prisoner had committed the robbery. The LORD MIYOR—I shall remand the case till Wed nesday. Mr. Braidwood—What will your Lordship do with the fireman? for his punishment must bo the more severe if the penalty you inflict should be light. The Loan MAYOR-1 shall leave his punishment en tirely to those under whose authority he acts, convinced that they will make all the necessary inquiries into the case, and protect the public. GUILDHALL. A young man, named Henry Thomas Haddon, was charged with presenting a pistol at Mr. George Alder son, the landlord of the Woolpack public-house in Hart street, Cripplegate, and thereby placing him iu bodily fear, as also causing great alarm to his wife. The prisoner's defence was, that he never presented the pistol, but, on the contrary, hell it down; also, that he did not snap it, and neither was itloaded. Mr. Al derson certainly asked him if it was loaded, and he said, " Yes—with paper." Alderman LAWRENCE asked him what he wanted with a pistol on Sunday ?—The prisoner replied that he went to try and dispose of it to his brother, but, failing to come to.terms, he was returning home when this occur rence took place. Alderman LAWRENCE did not consider that respect able tradesmen were thus to be unnecessarily alarmed by the freaks of any person, even supposing the pistol was not loaded; and he should therefore call upon him to find one surety in 204 and himself in a like sum, to keep the peace for three months. The required bail being forthcoming, he was dis charged. A drover named Charles Savage was charged with brutally knocking out the eye of a sheep. It appeared that the poor animal was at times running first under one vehicle and then another, when the pri soner struck it a severe blow over the head, which hap pened to alight on the eye, and carried it completely out of the socket on to the pathway. He was at once taken into custody. The defendant's excuse was, that the sheep ran under a cab and ho pulled it out, and while so doing the spring of the vehicle caught the animal's eye and tore it out. _ _ The officer said that could not be the case, as the eye was lying on the pavement many yards from any kind of conveyance. Alderman LAWRENCE fined him 10s. or 14 days' im prisonment. The prisoner sent a messenger to his master, who re fused to send the money, saying that be was so often guilty of cruelty that he should go to prison, and accord ingly be was conveyed to the Cumpter. MARLBOROUGH-STREET_ _ - - Colonel Blanc was summoned before Mr. Bingham for having neglected and refused to pay the weekly sum for the maintenance of his alleged illegitimate offspring. The case has been already frequently reported. Mr. BINGHAM heard evidence to the effect that no money has been paid under the order. Colonel Blane's professional adviser applied for a post ponement of the case for a week, on the plea that it was in contemplation to remove the case into the Court of Queen's Bench; that Mr. Pashley's opinion had been obtained, and that the proper steps would be taken forthwith. If tho magistrate objected to grant the delay, he was prepared to pay the money under protest. Mr. BINGHAM said, after the protracted litigation which bad occurred, and considering that the sum which Colonel Blane was called upon to pay weekly was very small in proportion to his means, he could not feel justi fied in acceding to further delay. 'The arrears, with costs, both at that court and the sessions, must be paid. The costs already allowed by the two Courts against Colonel Blanc amount to 361. This sum, of course, is a very trifling part of the actual expenses. WESTMLNSTEI?. DARING BURGLARY WITH PERSONAL VIOLENCE. -- William Cullen, George Digby, and Francis Pike, three de termined• looking young fellows, were charged with a daring burglary at the residence of Mr. John Waller, 13, Stamford Villas, Fulham-road, and with personal violence to the proprietor. The accused were taken into custody on the following night for being found in the rear of some houses in Cadogan-place, besides which it is stated that the police will be in a position in a few days to prefer other charges against them. The police produced a certificate from a medical gen tleman to show that Mr. 'Waller, in consequence of the injuries he had received, was unable to leave his room. He was awoke by a .man entering his sleeping apartment at about three o'clock on Saturday morning, and, on jumping out of bed, was wounded on the head with some heavy blunt instrument (supposed to be a life-preserver, as it is termed), after which his assailant escaped. Inspector Drake, of the V division, stated that he re ceived information at five 'o'clock on Saturday morning that a burglary had been committed at Mr. Waller's, and immediately went there. Ho found that two unsuccess ful attempts had been made to get into the house from a closet and kitchen window, in both of which a crowbar had been used with some force, and so determined were the burglars on accomplishing their purpose, that they bra.° nran ciao doors of aOll2O nothonsoa and made a hole large enough to admit a man from one of these through the brickwork into the kitchen, apparently with a crowbar and chisel, and thus effected an entrance. Witness saw that Mr. Waller, who was in bed, had re ceived a wound on the head, and there was a quantity of blood upon that gentleman's shirt and the floor of the apartment. A crowbar was found near the outhouses, and the footmarks in the garden showed the route the thieves had taken in their retreat, Pike's and Cullen's shoes, about the bottoms of the latter of which there is something peculiar, precisely corresponding with some •f those marks. In the course of a great deal more evidenbe it was proved that between one and two on Sunday morning, Jervis, 72 B, heard some, one down a dark passage lead ing to the backs of the houses in Cadogan-place, and on hastening to the spot found the prisoner Pike, who gave a name and address which ultimately turned out to be false. In about an hour and a half after this the constable again heard a mice near where he had observed Pike come from, and having, with another constable (Pucknell, 277 A), quietly mounted the wall, they saw the two prisoners Cullen gl a ar P y a . ne and Digby in a yard in the roar of one of the houses in penknife with the Cadogan-place, and immediately jumped down and se cured them. A very powerful life-preserver was found, ,onthgestpi,in otherof things, whicl preciselya with a strong chisel, within a few y ar d s of them; b on lad D e ig b b r y o , k a e m n and glass at correspond ing with the portion left in the handle, was found in It of was also s m om r. e w p a u i t i t e y ea wh a i t eh th h e ad tim be e e e n f c t u h t e f b ro u m r proved that about one o'clock on the morning of Sa turday, the prisoners were seen in company together, going from Hyde Park-corner towards Fulham, and re turning towards London between four and five on the same morning. On Jervis going on Sunday morning to search Cullen's room, in Pine - apple-court, Castle- lane, Westminster, he also went into the next apartment, where he found Pike in bed. The prisoners contented themselves with denying that they had been seen together ou Saturday morning. Mr. BRODERIP remanded them for a week. • WORSHIP-STREET. A tradesman named Paddiffe wa;Charg, d with the following brutal assault upon his apprentice, a youth named Thomas Camfield:— The apprentice stated, that while in bed at half-past twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday week his master rushed into the room, and without giving the slightest reason for such conduct, seized him by the hair of his head, dragged him out of bed, and kicked him in the most furious manner upon various parts of the body.

It contains sketches of domestic life and of every day characters as forcible and faithful as those of Miss Austin, at the same time that the principal persons in the tale are invested with all the passion and sentiment of romance. The author has never before written with so much energy and feeling. The charac ters of Miriam and her father are in particular very finely conceived. No one but a person of real genius could have produced such a tale. Popular as the previous works of this author have been, we feel certain that the present volumes will surpass them in the estimation of the public.—Britannia. [ADYERTISEMENT.]—A Certain Cure for Scrofula, or King's Evil, by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Many of the hospitals, finding that a number of their pa tients afflicted with ulcers, abscesses, and sores, but more particularly from scrofula, v, ho had been discharged as incurable from the various medical institutions, were af terwards soundly healed by Holloway's Pills and Oint ment ; this fact has induced several infirmaries to pur. chase by weight, from the proprietor, Holloway's Oint ment for hospital use, fur the purpose of curing this class of patients. All such would, therefore, do well to have recourse to those famed remedies when suffering from si milar ailments. These medicines may be obtained of all Chemists and Druggists throughout the civilised world, and at Prufer,sor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. _ The Rev. P. C. Nicholson, 8.D., of Trinity Col lege, Cambridge, late assistant minister of St. Paul's, Covent garden, has been appointed domestic chaplain to the Bight Lion, the Earl of Carlisle. S N, FEBRUARY 13, 1849. The defendant then left him, and the complainant viith great pain and difficulty contrived to get into bed again, but had not been there more than five minutes when the defendant returned, and, again seizing him in the same manner as before, a second time dragged him out of bed, compelled him to dress himself, and, notwith standing the lateness of the hour, turned him -into the street. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that upon returning home his wife told him that the com plainant had both insulted her grossly and struck her, and, feeling naturally exasperated, he ordered the com plainant to leave the house; this he positively refused to do, and he therefore used sufficient force to compel his compliance, but he denied that he had either kicked him or illused him to the extent described. Anne Caulfield, the lad's mother, stated, that upon her son returning home he had a severe coutusion upon one of his eyes, and she found upon examination that he had other serious bruises upon his hip, knee, and the middle of his back, in addition to which he also com plained of suffering extreme pain from some internal in jury in his loins. Mr. HANDIILL considered that no provocation could justify such extreme violence es it was clearly proved the defendant had been guilty of, and ordered him to pay the full penalty of 51., or in default to be committed to the House of Correction for two month. The penalty was immediately paid and the defendant liberated. THAMES. James Harley, an Irishman, and described as a cooper, of 6, Griffin-street, Shadwell; was brought be fore Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing a woman named Margaret Putt, who is now in the London Hospital in a very precarious condition, with intent to murder, or do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner. Mr. Pelham asked if the certificate from the hospital described the woman to be in danger? Mr. YARDLEY said it did; and remanded the prisoner. [PRICE SD. by many belieVed to be a solution of the case. The evidence appears to have completely removed this sus picion, and the verdict was a spontaneous expression of opinion. CHARGE of VIOLATION AGAINST A SOLICITOR. EPSOM, MONDAY. —This case was again brought be fore the magistrates this day. Mr. Peter Borthwick - , with Mr. Holme3, a solicitor, of Fenchurch-street, were present on the part of the prosecution. Mr. John Owens, of Monument Cham bers, atttn , led on behalf of the accused. On defendant's name being called, Mr. Ovens, who, in conjunction with Captain Besant, an officer on the retired list of the Bengal army, had become, sureties for the accused's appearance, said he was sorry to inform the Bench that Mr. Barlett had that morning been arrested under a civil process, and was at that time on his way to London in the custody of a sheriff's officer. Mr. Owens added, that he had ex plained the position of his client to-the officer s and im plored him not to leave Epsom at any rate before the afternoon. The officer was, however, inexorable, and had insisted on conveying Mr. Bartlett i to town by the eleven o'clock train. The Baron do Tessier said he thought the proper course for the Bench to take would be to lodge a de tainer against the accused, and apply to the Governor of the prison to produce the accused at Epsom on a fu ture day. Mr. Owens having acquiesced, At the request of Mr. Borthwick the deposition of the prosecutrix was here read at length, which having been done, a short conversation took place-betwoen the magis trates, at the close of which _ _ _ _ The Chairman said the course the magistrates had determined on was to enlarge the recognizance.% and thus render the bail liable, but they would be with held from the clerk of the peace until after an oppor tunity had been given to procure _the attendance of the accused. Mr. Borthwick, on the part of the prosecutrix, had no objection to this course. Had he been present on the last occasion he might perhaps have suggested the desirabi lity of giving 48 hours' notice of bail. The Chairman said the truth was the case had been weakened considerably, by the fact of the charge against Mr. Bartlett having been whispered about for some time previous to the complaint being laid. In fact, the ac cused, by his solicitor, was present to answer the charge even before it was made. Mr. Borthwick said he believed the extreme poverty of the parties, and their inability to procure even decent clothes to appear in before the Bench, was the only reason the complaint had not been laid earlier. In re ference to the doubt which had been cast upon the com plainant's testimony by Mr. Owens, he had no hesitation in saying, and he did so with great pain, that he fully believed the criminal act charged had been consum mated, and that under circumstances of extraordinary violence. Mr. Owens would make no further observation, but content himself with a general and positive denial of the complainant's statement. After some further conversation, it was agreed that the proceedings should be adjourned for a week—that in the meantime a detainer should be lodged in Horse monger-lane Gaol against Mr. Bartlett, and that a formal application for his production before the magis trates at this place should be made to the Governor of the prison. The complainant was introduced to the Court just be fore the close of the proceedings. She had an exceed ingly interesting face, but appears older than she describes herself in her deposition. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, FEB. 12.—The Basilisk steam-sloop is in the basin under the shears, having her mainmast put in. The lines of the Niger and the Basilisk being the same, the former fitted with engines for a screw-propeller, and the latter with engines for paddle-wheels, it was found that the boilers of the Basilisk when placed came so close to the position of the mainmast as to render it dangerous to have the timber so near the furnaces. To obviate the difficulty an iron shaft, about eight inches in diameter and twelve feet long, has been attached with an iron plate at the bottom of the hold, and the mainmast is made to rest on the top of the shaft above the level of the upper part of the boilers, and is held securely on three iron claws attached to the shaft. From whatever cause the difficulty originated the plan to re medy it is very ingenious. The bottom part of masts are liable to the dry rot, in consequence of being al ternately wet and dry when the bilge water is pumped out, and it will be seen, by the result of the trial, if an iron base for the mainmast of the Basilisk will prove advantageous. CHATHAM, FEB. 12.—The Majestic, 80 guns, building in this yard. The workmen who built the Elfin steam • boat are put upon this ship, and they commenced this morning planking her with nine-inch wales. This ship is not to have the stern designed for her by Sir William Symonds; she is to have one that is approved by the Admiralty. The Horatio, 42 guns, in dock, fitting as a steam guard-ship. A melancholy and fatal accident occurred on Saturday to a young man who was at work, with others, engaged in getting a boom over the dock for the purpose of building a stage or berthing across the stern of this ship. The deceased, Thomas Knight, was on the boom (which was a ship's yard), in readiness to cast off the lashings, but owing to the labourers slacking the tackle without giving him notice, the boom swang round and the young lean fell head-foremost into the bottom of the dock, a distance of nearly 30 feet. On his being picked up, the blood gushed out of both ears, and life was soon extinct. Ho was taken to the surgery in the yard, and examined by Dr. Henry Peacock. There was no appearance of any external injury, but the base of the skull was fractured internally. The deceased is about 21 years of age, and was on the point of being married; he was a steady and respectable man. The body was afterwards removed to his father's residence, Ordnance-place, Chatham. RONERT HOUDIN'S ENTERTAINMENT AT THE ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The entertainments of this Prince of Necromancers continue to draw crowded houses. The St. James's Theatre, which, on the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, is a Temple of Music, is transformed on those of Tuesday, - Thurs thy, and Saturday into a Temple of Magic, and never did magician wield wand more potent or do his spiriting more gracefully than Robert Houdin. It is a moot point whether or not Robert Houdin is a mere mortal ; for ourselves, we incline to the opinion that he is, but there are those who contend that he is neither more nor less than " the Gentleman in Black " himself, and who quote Shakspere in support of the theory—" The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman." says the Bard of Avon; and it would be difficult for Robert Houdin to prove any essential difference in this particular between the Prince of Darkness and him self. To-morrow, however, this great question may, perhaps, be set at rest, as we shall have an opportunity of seeing this mysterious personage by daylight. He gives a morning performance at half a f ter two o'clock. and there cannot bo a doubt but that the levee of the "most polished Necromancer in Europe" will be excel lently well attended. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE IN CANTERBURY.—.OII Thursday last the Hon. Francis Charles Drummond, of Dunkeld, Perth, N. 8., son of Viscount Strathallen, was united to his cousin, Charlotte Mary Athol Oakeley, daughter of the late Sir Herbert Oakeley, Bart., and great niece of the late Duke of Athol. The ceremony, ich was performed by the Very Rev. the Dean and Dr. Russell, took place at the cathedral after morning service. There were twelve bridesmaids, and a great concourse of spectators. The bride being, as we under stand, a ward of the Dean, and the wedding party assem bling at the Deanery, matting was laid down thence, across the lawn to the cathedral. The gay party re paired to the Deltnery immediately after the nuptials, and the happy bride and bridegroom shortly after left for Folkestone.

SOUTHWARK. A man named Cooper was brought before Mr. Cot tingham for fraudulently obtaining money of suitors of the Southwark County Court. Mr. King, a farmer, stated, that he was sued in the above court for 31. 13s. 6d., and went there for the pur pose of paying the money. When he got to the entrance of the court he was accosted by the prisoner, who asked him if he wanted a summons. The reply was in the ne gative, witness saying that he came there to pay money; upon which the prisoner said that he would receive the debt, and give him a receipt for the money. Com plainant, under the impression that the prisoner was an officer of the court, handed him the summons, and then paid him over the debt and costs; and having had a receipt given him for the money departed. Some weeks afterwards an officer of the above court surprised complainant by a call at his residence in the coun try; and having signified the business upon which he had come, added that it was for the purpose of levy ing a distress for the debt and costs incurred in an ac tion in which he was defendant. The complainant men tioned the fact of his having previously paid the money into court; and when he described the circumstance re lating to the transaction with the prisoner, the officer at once said that that person was not at all connected with the court, but was known as a man who was in the habit of hanging about the entrance thereto. The complainant added, that upon this explanation being given to him he paid the money over again, to save his goods from sei zure, and had not seen the prisoner since until that day at the bar of the court. Mr. Meymott, the chief clerk of the County Court, explained that agents were not employed to receive moneys of suitors, and that a clerk whose desk was in the Court was appointed for that purpose. Ile added, that he had seen the prisoner about the Court on various occasions. Mr. H . C. Knell, a timber merchant, was next examined, and stated, that being defendant in a cause heard at the same court, the prisoner called upon him, and repre senting that he had come from the above court for the debt and expenses, amounting to 1/. 11s. 6d., that sum was given to him and he gave a receipt for the same. Witness was subsequently sued for the sum, which he had to pay over again, it being ascertained that the pri soner had no connexion whatever with the court. M. COTTINGRAM said, that this case differed from the former, inasmuch as the prisoner in this instance had used ufalse pretence in obtaining the money by repre senting that he had called from the County Court for the debt and costs. It was of the utmost public import ance that such conduct as that alleged against the pri soner should be suppressed. He should certainly commit the prisoner on the latter charge, and as it was men , tioned that other cases of a similar description were likely to be preferred against him, he should remand him for further examination until Wednesday. THE MURDER AT DALE-GATE. Piccomu, FEB. 12.—At one o'clock to-day S. IL Gell, Esq., Coroner for East Susses, arrived from Lewes, for the purpose of resuming the inquest on the body of Mr_ George Stonhouse Griffith, the brewer, of Brighton, an account of whose murder, on Tuesday night, has al ready appeared in our columns. Evidence having been called as to the discovery of the body, • and in which nothing was elicited beyond what bas already appeared, the various articles found on or near deceased were produced. They consisted of a broken whip, several coins, and other articles, a pair of pistols, one loaded and the other discharged, a crape mask on a spectacle frame, fragments of a set of reins, &c. Mr. Martin, clerk to deceased, was then called, and after some preliminary evidence, A juror asked him—Do you know whether Mr. Grif fith land bullets of two different sizes?-one for the small pistols; the large for the revolving pistol. Waa the bullet taken from the body of deceased of the same size as the revolving bullets?—lt was a medium size, between the bullets for the small, and the bullets for the le.rge pistol. _ _ Did Mr. Griffith take the revolving pistol with himl— He took it from the counting-house. Mkl. Clarke—lt has since been found at his house , . Captain Mackay—l now propose to draw the charge of the leaded pistol. This was done. There was a small charge of powder and the bullet was of the same size as the three found in the pockets of the deceased, but much smaller than the twel re found in the flask. The second pistol was like wise produced. _ Captain Mackay—ls there any appearance of this pis tol h aving been discharged recently ?—No; and there is a piece of " fluff," a• if from the pistol bag. If the pistol had been discharged these appearances would not pre sent themselves. Thero is no mark of that kind of dirt, wbi ch arises from a pistolbeing fired. The inside of the barrel is clean. All these appearances are seen in both pistols (tbe one found near the body of deceased, and that found loaded in his pocket.) The witness named some other minute particulars, tend ing: to show that neither of the pistols had been re cently fired. Clarke—l should also like to have the third bullet produced and compared. inspector Flanagan, of the constabulary, accordingly produced the bullet extracted from the body of deceased. The three bullets were of different sizes. Fl anagan pointed out that the last bullet was not a mouliled bullet, and that it bore marks of corrosion, as if it had been a considerable time in the ground before bein g recently used. He knew that it was the same bul let I vecause he was present at the post mortem examina tion, and saw the bullet taken out of the heart of the dece ssed, and he had had it in his pocket ever since. Wituiess also produced some fragments of paper which appeared to have been used as the wadding. I have sepal .ated them carefully, and examined them by a pow erful microscope; but all that I can discover is either the 1 etter "w" or " ill." I also produce a splinter of the breast bone of deceased, taken in my presence from the II pot where the bullet entered the breast of deceased. Th e three bullets were then weighed. That taken from the body weighed 102 grains; one of the three found in the pocket weighed 160 grains; the third, found_ in the flask, weighed 81 grains , apothecaries' weight. Ma rig Ansell, wife of George Ansell, landlord of the Hors(? and Groom Inn, Horsham, deposed—l have knows Mr. Griffiths four years. Last Tuesday he came to th e house. I shook hands with him, and said, " It's very late, which way are you going home?" He said, "By way of West Grinstead." I said., "Dear me, are you? It will be dusk before you get there, and there have 'been so many robberies of late in West Grinstead and Shipley, that people burn lights all night" He re plied that he had been out all hours of the night, and he had never hurt any one, nor had any one hurt him. He then took out of his pocket a rod bag containing pistoils. I had never seen a pistol before. I asked him it it wits a pistol, and he said yes. He then took some thing; out of his pocket and unscrewed the pistol. He also took out the flask produced, and put a round ball in, said screwed it up again. He then put some powder into a place that ho opened near the trigger part. He then put the pistol into the red bag, and as he was pull ing the string it broke. He 'then placed the loaded pistol into the right hand great-coat pocket, after which he took another bag containing a pistol. Mr. Howell, a shoem al:er, who was there at the time, asked him if that was loaded? He replied, " No. I'll warrant the other will be enough for one man. I shall not give up my money easily." A j , aror—Did be place the loaded pistol in his pocket again?—Yes. The other he did not take out of the ba, Con orrun—Was there enough for you to show that it was a • pistol?—Ho said it was like the other. I saw the end of it. A juror—Did you pay him any m oney ?—NO. He was very cheerful, and said he had come to Gr instead, and thought we should be offended if he did n?: % riy, rne- San th Ann Smokey, schoolmistr ess at N w stated that on the evening of Tuesday M e last, a b ou t twenty minut es past nine o'clock, she heard a repo rt of a gun or pistol, which appeared to come in the directie with thon of r.

Lost Diamonds is the title of an adaptation from the celebrated French drama Un Secret, which was produced here last evening, and which, thanks to the excellent acting of Mrs. Stirling and Mr. Stuart, met with a great success. The piece has been frequently adapted to the English stage, and the plot must, therefore, be familiar to the generality of playgoers. It turns on the conscientiousness of a banker's wife, who, finding that her husband has in early life ruined an unfortunate man by surreptitiously taking a sum of money, endeavours to repair the injury by protect ing the son of the victim, and making him her hus band's cashier. The interest she takes in the young man awakens the suspicions of the banker, who loads her with reproaches, and the crisis of the drama is produced when she retaliates upon him, by repeating the story cf his early dishonesty. The anxiety of the suspected wife, and her triumphant repulse of the aspersions heaped upon her, gave scope for some well discriminated and powerful acting by Mrs. Stirling; and the agonies of the jealous husband were depicted with much feeling by Mr. Stuart. A comic gentle man, who is a keen investigator into the affairs of his neighbours, but absolutely blind as to what concerns himself, is quaintly represented by Mr. Compton.
