Stit,—l r..m directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to request that you will call the early attention of the Board of Guardians, to which you act as Clerk, to the subject of the means which the Commissioners have determined to adt,pt for erecting the restoration of strayed children, and insane per. sons found wandering abroad, to their friends and relatives. After conferring with the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, and the Commissioner of Police for the City of London, the Poor-law Commissioners have determined on issuing the order, of which three copies are herewith transmitted to you. You are requested to place one of those Copies in the hands of the Master of your Workhouse, and direct his attention to its provisions. The Commissioners of Police for the Metropolis and for the City of London, will respectively take care that all possible publicity is given to the notices forwarded to them by affixing the same at the principal Police Stati o ns , and the Poor-law Commissioners do not doubt that the Guardians will zealously co-operate in promoting the speedy restoration of children, and helpless persons, to their parents or friends. Independently of the obvious humknity of such a measure, the Poor-law Com missioners conceive that it will have a tendency to prevent the prolonged chargeability of parties found destitute under such circumstances. The need of some measure for this purpose is proved by the fact, that in the six months of the year 1840, from March to August inclusive, no less than 349 children were found by the Police and sent to different Workhouses within the Metro ?olitan Police district. It will be necessary that the Master of the Workhouse and the Clerk to the Guardians should be furnished with a sufficient number of printed notices in the proper form. The Commissioners will take care to give due publicity to this - circular, and to their order, by advertisement in the public papers. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary. To the Clerk of the Board of Guardiani of the- To the Guardians of the Poor of the several Unions and Pa rishes under a Board of Guardians named in the Schedule hereunto annexed.

To the Clerk or Clerks to the Ju'tices of the Petty Sessions held for the Division or Divi,ions in which the Perishes and Places comprised within the said Unions and the other Pa rishes named in the said Schedule are situate ; and to all others whom it may concern.

I.—Whenever any child supposed to have strayed, or any insane person wandering abroad whose friends or relations are unknown, shall have been received into any Workhouse be longing to any of the Unions or Parishes mentioned in the Schedule hereunto annexed, the Master or other person having 'charge of such Workhouse shall properly fill up four Notices in the Forms marked A or B respectively, hereunto annexed, and shall forthwith cause one of such Notices to be affixed on the outer gate of the said Workhorse, and shall forward one other of the same so filled up, to each of the three Police Sta tions, whether of the Metropolitan or City Police, nearest to the place where such child or insane person shall be understood to have been found. Art. 2. If at the expiration of twenty-four hours from the reception of such child or insane person into such Workhouse, no claim or inquiry respecting the Same shall have• been made at the Workhouse in which such child or insane person shall have been received, the Master or other person having charge of such Workhouse shall send a copy of the notice already filled up as hereinbefore directed to the Clerk to the Guardians of the Parish or Union to which such Workhouse may belong, and such Clerk shall immediately cause to be prepared forty eight copies of the notice so filled up and forwarded to him, and shall forthwith transmit thirty-six copies of such notice to the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, at their Chief Office, and twelve copies of such notice to the Commissioner of Police for the City of London at his Office.

'2, F4l Sir,-1 have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair's dout and Rheumatic Pills have been of the greatest service to me. Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which 1 suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a pc, baffles any description which I can pos sibl► giveof my then miserable state. I could , eldom obtain either rest or sleep. 1 had the best medical advice, including that of two ph ysicias in London, without obtidning any essential relief. I went to Margate, and had the best medical .dvice, trying the warm bath there, and ;A otter places, without obtaining any benefit. A short time ago I was rec •mmen,:ec to try Blair's gout and Rheumatic Pills; 'and wa thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of Me srs Hammond and Co ~Chemists of this town, and befo e 1 had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills, and happily there ha , been no return of this di. tressing malady. Y. u are at liberty to publish my ca;e, in the hope thereby that this excellent medicine may be the means of relieving others. 1 am, Sir, yours, respectfully, J. B. Misivisr, Brewer and Maltster, Dartford, Kent. I'. S.-11 I could possibly speak in stronger terms of your invalu able medi• Ine I should be most happy, for it is impossible for lan guage to describe the relief I have experienced. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'A GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every de cririon of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a c. lebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They no only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has be n driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an incon. ceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in tact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is n to city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many rateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine.

FROM THF. 'MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The following notice relative to Exche quer bills has been issued from the Treasury : " Applications having been made to this office by holders of unstamped Exchequer bills, who have hitherto omitted or been prevented from sending in such bids for xamination, notice is hereby given, that on Friday next, the ith inst., all such bills as shall be presented between the hours of ten and three, under the regulations pre viously in force, will be examined, and where found ge nuine, nal be stamped and returned to the owners. " MONTEAGLE, Comptroller-General. " Exchequer, Jan. 4, 1842." There is another rumour to-day concerning Exchequer bills, which is supposed to contribute towards their sus taining their present high price. This is to the effect, that by an alteration in the system, Exchequer bills, in stead of being payable for duties at stated periods only, will be continually payable, and bear interest from the day of their date to the date of such payment. As such an arrangement will give an additional facility for making use of the unfunded securities, the rumour in question naturally increases their value. If the altera tion should actugy be made, it will be a return to sound principles, from the system of jobbing with Exchequer bills, introduced by Mr. Spring Rice. The partial de cline observable in Exchequer bills to-day is not to be attributed to any change in public opinion, but merely to sales in consequence of their high price. H ERAL D.—Notwithstanding the approaching pay ment of dividends, and the abundance of money which is usually anticipated to follow the payment and partial dispersion of several millions among the public, which is usually an clement in the calculations of speculators and capitalists for a rise in stocks, the home funds have presented but an unsteady appearance for the last two or three days, and the previous improvement has been followed by a gradual decline. The cause of this de pression of prices is variously accounted for. By some it is attributed to the belief that various foreign loans are in preparation, the weight of some of which is likely to fall upon this market. In France, it is well known, that largo amounts of money will be wanted, not only to make good the past, the present, and the prospective defi ciency of revenue, as compared with expenditure arising out of the late warlike preparations, but also for the purpose of those vast internal improvements, such as the great lines of railroad, announced to be under taken on account of the State. From Austria there are similar advises ; there alio the Governmeat has for mally notified the intention to execute on its own ac count all the preliminary and expensive• workings of a general railway system, so far as the great lines, after wards to be farmed out to public competition so far as the conve)ance of goods and passengers, and the supply of locomotive carriages and machinery. These enter prises for France and Austria alone, independent of what may be intended by other Sovereign Powers in Germany and in Prussia, or elsewhere in Europe, will necessarily require the outlay of many millions sterling, which can only be raised by way of loans to be con tracted, or by the more simple and direct process of an emission and gradual sale of State bonds upon the stock and money markets here and abroad for the account of the different States, and without the intromission of ca pitalists and contractors, as upon the old system. It is understood that the Hebrew party have been the chief operators for the fall. SUN.—The market for the English funds was again rather depressed, but it cannot be said that any anxiety prevailed to effect sales. When the dividends are paid, we may anticipate a rally in the quotations. The value of Consols was 894- to 89'4- ex-dividend, the last bargain being at 89i sellers. Exchequer Bills receded slightly from the extreme advance of yesterday, viz., 225. and 18s. premium. India Bonds were supported at 6s. to Bs. premium. The Three per Cents. were at 89i to Bank Stock fluctuated from 168 to 167, and East India Stock for the opening was at 246. Although the price of Spanish Bonds came 1 per cent. higher from Paris, the market here was in a listless con dition, and the quotations realized were not quite so good. The Active Bonds were done at 25 to 25k; Portuguese Old Five per Cents. at 54 ; Mexican Bonds at 28i to .1, a fall of kto per cent.; and Colombian at 21 to 21i. Brazil Bonds were at 63f, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 51 to There was no rally in value of the Railway Shares. Great Western were at 22i, New ditto at 11, London and Birmingham at 79 to York and North Midland at 42, and South Western at 191- prem. Brighton were 111, and South Eastern 201 discount. British North Aine rican Bank Shares were 41 discount. LONDON, TH_URSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1842 METROPOLITAN ANTI-CORN-LAW ASSOCIATION.—The Subscriptions for the year 1842 will now be received at Messrs.

With ipo unavoidable trhep .tin force oof f o consequence intdhii ff,e o rpe f er t n h jtu this , du i is s ce , e, f t . h :n a , t and w e meet our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to perus e Messrs. Curtis's w or k, ent i t l e d "M anhood ;" nor did itre quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidatoo in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now corning before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tl:e character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able:—Magnet.. . . _ The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita• Lion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal_ to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common eaue.es, sueli as exposure to cold, sudden v i c i ss i tu d es o f tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We d o not t hi nk we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result f rom such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

By her Majesty's brigantine Lynx, Lieutenant G. J. B irilem, we have received the intermediate date due from Lisbon prior to the sailing of the Tagus steamer of Dec. 19. LISBON, DEC. 18, 1841.—1 learn that M. Aguilar, the Spanish Minister, is about to proceed to Madrid on a short leave of absence, for the purpose of taking his seat in the Chamber of Senators. M. Soler, the Secretary of Legation, is to act for him meanwhile. The new treaty about to be concluded (but happily not yet so), merely stipulates, if I am correctly informed, that our trade shall be placed on a footing with that of the most favoured nation. Now this is perfectly absurd ; in Portugal there should only be one most fa voured nation, and that one should be England. The fact is, that for the last eight years we have been treat ing this country with far too much deference, and in so doing have gone on weakening our influence by filling the heads of the Portuguese with the most extravagant notions of their own political importance. The system of diplomacy we ought to pursue, in our dealings with Portugal, is very simple, and requires none of those astute mancouvriogs employed by great nations to outwit each other. In out ward show let us pay as much ceremonious respect to the independence of this mighty power as would satisfy the dignity of the Grand Lama •f Thibet himself ; but when a point is to be gained, instead of striving for it by stratagems which here are needless, and arguments to which the Portuguese always turn a deaf ear, let the words " you must do it, or we double the import duties on your wines, fruit," &c., be boldly uttered, and the effect will be instant acquiescence. This was our former mode of treating with Portugal in the days of good old John the Sixth, and it ought to be adopted again. While on this subject I must not omit to men tion that the increased rates of duties on foreign woollen manufactures, English of course included, began to be levied on Saturday last. This measure will necessarily exclude a great many sorts of our coarser woollens. There has been some very severe weather on this coast. The Dutah brig Maria, and the Americanbrig Co lumbus, were both wrecked near Cape St. Vincent some day last week. The crews were fortunately saved. In touching upon the subject of our commercial relations with Portugal I omitted to notice one evil, which weighs sorely upon British traders resident at or frequenting this port, and the removal of which ought to be insisted upon by our Government in the new treaty about to be concluded. I allude to the Custom-house and port regulations, the grinding op pression of which has of late years become intolerable. Of course the Portuguese have a right to make what ever regulations they may deem proper for the preven thin of contraband ; and were this legitimate object the only one no foreign nation could have any right to complain. But when it becomes quit: apparent, as it really is, that many of the regulations in question are framed fur no other purpose than to be a source of emolument in the shape of fines and whole sale seizures, there certainly is ample grouad for re monstrance ; and where there are negotiations (or a treaty actually pending it would indeed be folly not to make the removal of the evil the subject of an express stipulation. My attention has again been forcibly called to it by a couple of eases of great hardship which occurred here last week. The customs' regulation in I this port is that ale, porter, and wines can only be im ported in cases or hampers containing three dozens of bottles each, on pain of seizure, which, in fact, is the penalty for every irregularity, however slight. Mr. G., a respectable merchant, ordered out from Liverpool a hamper with three dozens of ale for his own use. On the passage some person on board contrived to slip his hand into the hamper and abstract one bottle ; arid for this deficiency in the number required by the regulation the other two dozen and eleven were seized. Mr. G. ventured to say that he thought it rather hard that be cause one bottle had been stolen on board he should be robbed of the rest on shore ; for which piece of insolence, as the Director-General termed it, he was turned out of the Custom-house. The other case was that of the seizure of a boat belonging to an English merchant schooner, the master of which, who had never been in this port, and could not consequently be expected to have the whole of its multitudinous and complicated regulations all at once at his fingers' ends, went on board without going through the useless for mality of calling at the guard-boat to ask leave to do so. Her Majesty's steam-vessel, Devastation, having on board the new Protestant Bishop of Jerusalem, ar rived here on Monday last, and sailed again on Thurs day in the prosecution of her voyage to Syria. S`►c came in merely to afford the Bishop an opportunity of seeing Lisbon. FALMOUTH, JAN. 3.—The West India steamers left this port this afternoon, the Tay having 60 sacks of letters and 30 of newspapers ; and the Thames, which it appears now will be the first to come home, a pro. portionate increase for Demerara, Mexico, &c. The produce of the French Press, during the last year has been—works of all languages, 6,300 ; plans and maps, 145 ; engravings, lithographic plates, &c., 1,163 ; niv,. - dcal pieces, 428, • PRICE 5d SUICIDE AT CHESTERFIELD. Between one and two o'clock on the morping of Sa turday last, the inhabitants of Beetwell-street, Ches terfield, were alarmed by the shrieks of a female, whom, it afterwards proved was the wife of a stockinger named Gager, who put an end to his existence by cutting his throat with a razor. Deceased has left a wife and five children to deplore their melancholy loss. We under stand deceased was in the army many years, but had no retiring pension, and that latterly his health bad given way very much. Though not in . a state of absolute destitution, the family have suffered much from want of proper nourishment. - At five o'clock on Saturday evening_ an is quest was held at the Spread Eagle, before Mr: Hutchinson, Co roner. Elizabeth Gager sworn—My husband was fifty-five years of age. He kept his bed for the last six weeks, owing to ill health, which was originally caused by palpitation of the heart. He doseil most on Saturday, and was quite still, but at dusk hour he became as if his brain was gone. He got up once or twice in the nigh and walked about the chamber, pulling him self as if he would tear the flesh from his bones. He re peatedly said, " What a night this will be What a wearisome night this will be !" and added, " All this yard won't hold me, I know !" This was between eight and nine o'clo c k. Having some clothes to mangle (for I earned a few shillings" occasionally by washing), I went out, leaving my eldest, lad with him. During cry ab sence he sent the lad doivn stairs to the youngest child, which was in the cradle. When I got home again, I said to my lad, " How comes thou to be down stairs ?" He said, "My father sent me down." I then went up stairs to see how he was going on," and found him beat ing his hands and jumping out of bed. I reasoned with him as well as I could; his answer was, " It will be of no use ! it will be of no use !" He afterwards laid him• self down, and seemed more tranquil. I asked him what he would have for his supper ? He said " No thing." I tried to persuade hilas to have a bit of something, and he then said, " Well, I think I will have a mouthful ;" and I fried him a bit of lean mut ton, which he ate very greedily. I went down stairs to starch a. few caps, and went up stairs again be tween eleven and twelve o'clock ; he was then quite raging mad, and on my entering the room he raised himself in bed, and ordered me to go out of the room and fetch somebody. I objected at first, saying I'must not fetch Mrs. Camomile again, as she was up with him l as t night. He then got out of bed and went to the adjoin ing room to look at the three children who were in bed, and on finding them awake he said, " Oh, what you are • wakened,' I see." He then attempted to push me down stairs, saying I must fetch some one, for he could not live. 1 told him Mrs. Camomile was in bed ; but I went down stairs and pulled the fire together, think ing he would be more reconciled. This must be between twelve and one o'clock. After I bad put the fire to gether I heard a dreadful groan, but before I got to the . foot of the stairs I heard my eldest boy (who was one of the three in bed) shout " Oh, my father is cutting his throat, mother !" I could not go further, but ran out of the house and give an alarm. Mrs. Camomile and others came. I have not been in the house since. My husband enjoyed poor health for the last twelve years, and could not earn much wages on that account. He has not had sufficient to eat. What little I earned was not enough to maintain us. I have had four loaves a week for the last three weeks from the Union, and last week four loaves ar d Is. 6d. in money. The town surgeon attended my husband. He kept his razors in a cupboard by the bed side. The Juiy having no doubt that the deceased com mitted the deed whilst in a state of insanity, re turned a verdict accordingly. CITY OF HEREFORD. THE NEW TORY MAGISTRATES. At a full meeting of the Town Cannel' on Saturday last, it was Resolved— That the Mayor, having laid before this meeting the Letter of het Majesty's Secretary of State, that he (Sir James Graham) had recommended to the Lord Chancellor the appointment of four Magistrates of this Borough, the Council respectfully, but firmly protest against such procedure on the following ground.:-- Ist. That as the present body of Magistrates has been found fully adequate to the discharge of the Magisterial duties of the city, the unsolicited addition of four Justices is a measure not in any degree required by the exigencies of the Municipality. 2d. That the recommendation of the Secretary of State was perfectly unknown to the Town Council, as well as the citizens at large, and that, consequently, it is not consistent with that course of respect for the feel ings of the inhabitants, which the city has a constitu tional right to expect. 3d. That the Town Councillors, being the municipal representatives of the inhabitants, are, in all respects, qualified to recommend to the Crown, for Magisterial appointment, those of their fellow-citizens who enjoy a full share of public esteem and public confidence. 4th. That the Town Council of this city unanimously regard this extraordinary and unprecedented procedure of her Majesty's Secretary of State as unconstitutional ; repugnant to the free and independent spirit of our mu nicipal institutions ; and eminently calculated to bring the scat •f justice, which should always be venerated, nto popular contempt. BRIEF RULES FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ♦LL WIIO WRITE FOR NEWSPAPERS. — Write Make as few erasures and interlineations as possible. In writing names of persons and places be very particular to make every letter distinct and clear ; also in using words not English. Write only on one side of the paper. Employ no abbreviations whatever, but write out every word in full. Address communications not to any par ticular persons, but to " The Editors." Finally, when you sit down to write do not be in a hurry. Consider that hurried writing makes slow pyintinf. Yesterday morning the nine o clock railway train from Birmingham met with an obstruction about four miles from Spetchley, by one of the wheels of the engine breaking. The passengers alighted while another engine was sent for, and amused themselveS by walking about three miles into Spctchley. In consequence of the delay the train arrived at Cheltenham about an hour be hind its usual time, =oh to the annoyance of many gentlemen who had business at the Sessions, and to whom an hour was of great consequence. --Cheltenham Examiner. Mr. Sotheby, for upwards of half a century at the head of the firm of the same name in Wellington street, died on Tuesday morning, at his residence, Cleve's Lodge, Chelsea, in the 71st year of his age. This firm, which was the first established in this country fur the exclusive sale of literary property by auction, com menced in the year 1743, and has continued ever since to be the principal channel through which the most noted collections of books, prints, and other objects of vertu, both public and private, have been brought into the market. _ _ THE WEATHER IN RUSSIA.—ST. PETERS BURGH, DEC. 19.—Our winter this year is the most ex traordinary that we ever experienced. At this period last year the cold was excessive, and the frost continued without intermission all the winter through. This year, on the contrary, we find in the journal called the Poss rednik (Mediator), the following description of the present December spring :—" In our city gardens no trace of winter is to be- seen. The grass plots are all green, and the flowers are budding out. To day, December 1 (13th), I gathered in a s garden at Was 41i-Ostrow a nosegay consisting of daisies, half-blown primroses, auriculas, artemisia abrotanim, and various other flowers, which I carried to an invalid lady residing on the English Quay. I rowed across the Neva in a little boat, the river being as free of ice as in the month of May." _ _ . FIDELITY OF A DOG.—A fortnight ago we announced the melancholy death by drowning of a passenger on board the Helen Macgregor steam-boat, .while lying at Oban, on her passage from Glasgow. No one on board knew him, nor did any of the villagers ; but his funeral rites were performed by a Christian people, and the cause of misfortune aroused their sympathies. They spread the mort cloth over the bier ; but the tassels hung loosely—unclaimed--and told he was far from his kinsmen. No fond relative was there to mourn the loss of a friend—no aged parent to regret his untimely fate — no orphan boy to weep for the loss of a father ; but he went not to the grave unmournecl ; in addition to the general sympathy, he was followed by an unfeigned mourner—the companion of his toils—his faithful shep herd dog, who, though unaccountably absent at the fatal moment, has given evident signs of extreme attachment to his master. He howled piteously as they bore him away, and, on lowering him into the grave, he could scarcely bo restrained from being buried along with him. As the funeral party moved slowly away, the faithful animal remained alone—the mournful imago of fidelity and attachment. Nor has the cold blasts of gloomy De cember f*ced him from his post; there he still remains; and his fidelity has enlisted the commisseration of the villagers, who give him the necessary food ; and though the common green mound alone marks the grave of the deceased, this faithful animal has supplied him with mourners, and a monumental effigy more interesting than the most grave or pompous eulogiurn.—lnifernesi Courier. HUNTING ANECDOTE.—It is a curious coin cidence that the hounds of Lord Emlyn and those of R. B. Child, Esq., Newton, should both have run a hare into the water during the preceding week. In the former instance his Lordship's dotes followed the game through a large pond of water. and ultimately bagged the hare. In the latter, both puss and the dogs were seen floating down the mill lest near Westfield, Rose-market. It really was one of the most extraordinary sights ima ginable to behold the timid little animal as it were fall into the " silent stream," and her inveterate and inde fatigable pursuers dash into the " blue Moselle," swim ming breast high down its onward course, and yet unable to finish the sport. The hare got away from this di lemma, but " instant in pursuit, '.these splendid hounds, never losing scent, followed on, and after two or three miles hard run " turned her up."--York Herald, EVENING SUN COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Mrs. Inchbad's comedy of Wives as they Were, and Maids- as they Are, was produced last night at this theatre ; and its tardy production —years after the accomplished authoress has been consigned to her last home—is a proof how much justice those have to reckon on who turn their attention, to the drama. Mrs. Inchbald was well-known and highly .esteemed in her day, yet her first play, notwithstanding its acknowledged ability, was allowed to rest for three years unnoticed on the Manager's shelves; and now, up wards of fourteen years after her death, it is discovered that her comedy of Wives as they Were,and Maids as they Are, is well worth a trial an the boards of Covent Garden. Such is theatrical caprice or prejudice, which, aggravated by the star-system, has reduced the stage to its present state, of all but extinction.—Airs..lnchbal as comedy was produced last evening with perhaps' strong a cast as could now be mustered from the corps dramatique of this country. The severe, though some what lachrymose husband, Lord Priory, (in w hi c h character Mrs. Inchbald drew that of a very remarable man of her own (lay) was pourtraycd by Mr. Far ren; Bronzely was represented by Mr. C. Mathews ; Sir George Evelyn, by Mr. George Vandenhoff ; and the part of the respectable Sir William Dorrillon, was as sumed by Mr. Cooper. The ladies were equally well represented in the persons of Mrs. Nisbett (Miss Dor rillon), Miss Faucit (Lady Priory), and Mrs. Glover (Lady Mary Ratile), the latter of whom, by her spright liness, made us almost forget that she might have per formed the same character with the same effect, and the same youthful appearance, wherk the play originally came out. It is not necessary to detail the plot of a co medy which must be familiar to most of our play-going readers. The incidents, as well as the language gene rally, are conceived in the sentimental style of that school of which the fair and amiable authoress was so eminent a prop ; and, notwithstanding that the school has long since given way before a more rugged, and per haps a more healthy state of feeling, still the elegance and real sensibility, as well as fun and humour, which pervade the whole performance, are such as to render this comedy, even now, a great and a deserved favourite with the public. We have seldom seen less of mannerism. in Mr: Farren's .acting than was observable last night in - his representation of the rigid, confident Lord Priory. Mr. Charles Mattleows elicited great and deserved applause by the happy ease and tact which he displayed in assuming the character of the flutteriag fool, Bronzely. Mr. Vandenhoff deserves also a passing mention, as having made considerable pro gress in his performance of light comedy ; and it is no thing new for us to state that Mr. Meadows played old Oliver, the steward, with his accustomed care and pre cision both of dress and utterance. The respectable Mr. Cooper sustained with tolerable effect the equally re spectable part of Sir William Dorrillon, affording an other proof, if any were needed, that the old proverb, which says " Poeta naseitur, non fit," is not applicable to the stage, but that the very reverse is often observed — namely, that, by dint of arduous study and long prac tice., an indifferent actor may at length become an en durable one. Mrs. Nisbett in the headlong, obstinate, extravagant, though tender-hearted and not unprincipled. Miss Dorrillon, was all liveliness and grace ; and Miss Faucit (who appeared for the first time at this theatre) gave an expression and dignity to the character of the sub missive and virtuous Lady Priory, which few besides her self could have done. The house was well attended. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Sheridan Knowles' beautiful play of The Hunchback was performed at this theatre last evening, Mr. Stuart sustaining the part of Master Walter. This gentleman has now completely got over the nervousness under which every actor lab Ours more or less on making his first ap pearance on the metropolitan boards, and we are conse quently better enabled to form a judgment of the posi tion he is likely to maintain in the dramatic world, and that that position Kill be, if not the first, certainly in the very first rank, we have no hesitation in 'as serting. His Master Walter is the best we have ever seen, the only one which preserves that ner vous sensitiveness which is the never failing accom paniment of bodily deformity. Master Walter has, from the innate kindness of his heart, succeeded, in a great degree, in overcoming his natural irritability of temperament, but still it forms the basis of his character, and will at times burst forth in spite of all his efforts to restrain it, efforts, however, ►which are generally success ful at once, and . which ultimately always succeed in checking his temper sufficiently to prevent any disastrous consequences ensuing from its outbreaks. This feature of the character of Master Walter was most correctly conceived byMr. Stuart, and developed in the most artist like manner. Natural irritability of temper, chastened and subdued by kindly benevolence of feeling, has never been more correctly delineated. In his scenes with Julia it was evident that the fond father, while assuming the severity of the harsh guardian, suffered pangs quite as acute as those by which the heart of the impassioned g►irl herself was racked ; and into the last scenes of the play he infused a tenderness and a pathos of ►which we never before thought the part of Master Walter capable. Mr. Stuart has thrown more energy and ►warmth into the part of Master Walter than any of his predecessors have done, and to this is owing his pre-eminent success of last evening. In his hands Master Walter is not a mare eloquent declaimer—he is a living, moving, feeling man, ►rho, though acutely sensible of the injustice with ►which he has been treated, is yet . too noble-minded to resist it, even in thought. He was loudly applauded throughout, and at the fall of the curtain he was called for, and led on Helen Faucit, who ►was the Julia of the evening.• MARYLEBONE VESTRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—May I be allowed, through the medium of your valuable Journal, to suggest to Vestrymen the propriety of furnishing the public Press with reports of parochial proceedings when the regular reporters are excluded from Vestry meetings ? This plan has been acted upon in the parish in which I res ide, and it proved an effectual remedy, inasmuch as the old parish jobb?rp, finding that they could not perpetrate with im punity their jobs as before, gradually dropped off front attending for such dark purposes, and the affairs of the parish are now conducted on the open, honest principle, of fair and honourable competition, Yours, &c., January 4, 1842. TOLAUS. THE EMIGRATION EXPEDlENT.—lndirectly adverting to this subject, thus speaketh the Westminster Review :—" Emigration is proposed. It may meet for the moment many pressing evils, but it is an empedient, not a cure. The evil lies deep in the very heart of our present slate of social regulations and institutions, and no palliatives will be permanently beneficial." During the last French war, a fellow in London who hawked the daily papers about the strgets, on find ing them lie on his hands towards the latter end of the day, while he only cried " Great news," suddenly•be thought himself to change his tune ; and by roaring out " Bad news" he sold more in one hour than he had been able to do during the whole of the day before. A mail leaving Antwerp a few clays ago for Holland was passini , over one of the bridges of the for. tifications, when the leading horses shied, and leaped over the parapet. Here they were suspended fur some time by the traces ; but, on being cut, they fell into the ditch, and were drowned. The vehicle was held back by the other horses and by the stone-work of the bridge, so that no further accident took place. The Municipal Council of Metz has voted 500,000 f. towards the Paris and Strasburg Railroad, but on the following express conditions ; viz., That the branch to Metz shall be carried on to the German fron tier, near Sarrebruch ; that the branch from Frouard to Sarrebruck, by Metz, shall be executed simultaneously with that from Frouard to Strasburg, by Nancy ; and that, the above-mentioned grant shall be exclusive l y de voted to that portion of the road which runs bet Ween Metz and the German frontier. The Council has also expressed a wish that negotiations should be opened with the neighbouring German States, to induce them to bring railroads up to the frontier , t o j oin the Metz roads. Some days ago a woodman, named Michel, while employed on the woods of Mailley, near Courboux, in the Haute Saone, was assailed by a wolf, which tore him in several places and would have killed him, had not an other woodman, named Mites, come to his relief, a nd scared the animal away. Having, with some other men, placed Michel, in safety, Huot and his companions went to hunt up the wolf, resolved to destroy him. Having discovered him, a terrible conflict ensued ; Jollivet, one of the men, was severely wounded and bitten in the arm and body. The beast was diverted from him by the as saults of the other men, and in his rage sprang upon the wife of one of them, and was tearing her with teeth and claws, when the husband, a man of unusual strength, seize4the creature by the ears, turned it on its back, and there held it until his companions killed it with their hatchets. The Toulon papers state that the christening of Mme. Allard took place, as it was announced would bo the case, at St. Tropez, with much splendour. A great number of ladies were present on the occasion, and Alma. Allard, who was splendidly attired, was re ceived by the Cure of the church under a dais of velvet. She had given to the church a handsome set of ornaments, cloths for the altar, and habits for the priests in red velvet and gold. After the ceremony was concluded, a grand gala and ball took place. This lady, who is stated to b e of small stature and delicate form, with a complexion • quite of the Hindoo taut, is much beloved at St. Tropez. The Memorial of Pau relates that in the even ing of the 18th ult., as a band of smugglers were coming down the mountain of Itsatsou, laden with packets of sugar and salt, they fell into an ambush which had been laid for them by a party of Custom-house officers. A contest ensued, the smugglers fighting despe rately with their bludgeons. The Brigadier of the Cus tom-house officers was driven into a ditch, was severely beaten, and would, in all probability, have been mur dered, had he not levelled his carbine , at one of the most powerful, Jose Maria, a Spaniard, and killed hi:u. It was feared that this occurrence would excite the people of the villav against the Custom -house post, but it being made known that the shot was notired the inhabitants till the brigadiers life was at stake, sil u ve p r - , were satisfied, and remained q uiet. y q c , o i a n n t i o np }yards IR o E f A t s 7 u o / R . i E n •Lol°d,stTog7thAer w b i o t X h , a was lost from the Indianian, on Monday blincliinghamshire outward-bound East evening. la,sot.
