home currency, but no effect being thereby pro duced upon foreign prices, which are estimated in bullion, or upon the exchangeable value of goods abroad, the necessary consequence of this state of things is that the foreign exchanges become adverse, and continue adverse to Eng land, until the Bank of England, and local notes in circulation, be so reduced in amount as to bring up the coin to the exchangeable value of the gold which it contains, and the notes which represent it to the same exchangeable value with it. Adverse foreign exchange, therefore, are sure indications of an over-issue of paper. German Papers to the sth inst. arrived this morning. They contain no news of interest. VIENNA, DEC. 31.—Five per Cent. Nletalliques, 94 3.5 ; Four per Cents., 84 17-32 ; Bank Shares, 1,2261. We copy the following from the Morning Post of this day : We stated yesterday that Sir Stratford Canning had declined the Embassy to St. Petersburgh heciuse the Emperor of Russia had expressed a disinclination to re ceive him. A curious story is told at the clubs upon this affair, which we give as we hem, it. Lord Palmerston is said to have mentioned to Prince Lieven the name of Sir Stratford Canning as the intended Ambassador to the Russian Court. Prince Lieven is said to have remonstrated against the selection, and to have assured his Lordship that the choice would be a most distasteful one to the Emperor. Lord Palmerston is said to have shown his love for embarrassment, and his greediness of difficulty, by imme diately directing the inauspicious appointment to be gazetted. Prince Lieven is said to have thereupon explained the hint which be had vainly given, by producing his authority for the assurance that the Emperor of Russia would not, under any circumstances, receive Sir Stratford Canning at his Court. , Another man would have taken some pains to avoid tio mortification. Lord Palmerston has taken some to subject himself to it. Long practice bas made r n ` urn elY and insult necessary to his comfort or h i s repose. H e is as fond of buffets as Bessus in the play :-- " For these are all familiar things to me, Familiar as my sleep, or want of money ; A ll MY whole body's but one bruise with beatin g . I think I have been cudgelled with all nations, And almost all religions." In The Sun of yesterday we were unfortu nately compelled to admit the truth of the statement of the Post as to the abandonment of the intention of sending Sir STRATFORD CANNING to Russia, and the cause of the change. For the details which are now given by our Contemporary, we have no other au thority than the Post, and we hope thy are unfounded. The main fact, however, that Sir STRATFORD CANNING is not to go to St. Petersburgh, and that the reason of his not going is the dislike of the Emperor is indisputable —we wish we could add —not disgraceful. When was it the custom of British 'Ministers to allow foreign Sovereigns to dictate as to who should and should not be sent to them as Am bassadors ? If such dictation be permitted, the next thing may be an ord er f rom R ussia to send, as our Ambassador, that great eulogist of Russia, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, or that indefatigable factotum of the Tories, Mr. WILLIAM HOLMES, the late whipper-in to the Treasury. R ea lly this is carrying diplomatic courtesy too far. It is pushing the conciliatory feeling to an extreme which is past endurance. And on what is the dislike of the Auto crat for Sir STRATFORD CANNING founded ? Is he such a firebrand that NICHOLAS is in dread of personal insult from him ? No ; the plain truth isthatSir STRATFORD CANNING is a man of ability, and has resided a long time in Turkey. He is too well acquainted with the views of NICHOLAS in that part of the world and with the means of defeating them. This is the secret of the dislike, and we are weak enough to yield to it. NICHOLAS must, it seems, have an ambassador from England whose principles are favourable to him, or whose ignorance and weakness are so great as to make principles a matter of no importance. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Demerara papers have been received, at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the sth December. The paper of the 4th contains a portion of a proposed Order in Council, dated Downing-street, 19th October, which was received by the mail, containing a view of the legislative measures necessary to carry into effect the Abolition Bill. Letters from Pampeluna mention that a detachment of Royal troops, coming from Barcelona, had deserted to the Carlists. The express from Paris this morning states that the accounts from Turkey continue to speak of reinforcements going to the French and English squadrons in the Archipelago, and that the Porte has thought proper to demand an explanation on the sub ject. THE FUNDS. Consols which left off yesterday at 89 90 for the account, opened this morning at 89i with little doing, alternately buyers and sellers at the above price. Bthe Foreign M arket little business as yet. y accounts from Spain it appears that the direct campanili. cations With Vittoria and Bayonne are again intercepted, and without hopes, as yet, of being re-established, as the Govern ment have no troops to spare. Catalonia is against the politics of Zea. General Llander is among the inhabitants; and the kingdom of Valencia has again hoisted the standard of Charles V. under the command of the Royalist General Moreau. th Donntion Carlos was on t h e 15th near Oporto, but it is said has to proceed to Lamego.

At the sitting of the Commissioners this morning, Mr. Newman, the City solicitor, was examined as to the duties of his office. He said his duty was to assist the Comptroller and Remembrancer in their Parliamentary duties, as well as in all conveyancing business connected with the city. He had a general order from the Court of Aldermen to prosecute all tradesmen who carried on business in the city, that had not taken up their freedom for the fines to which they had made themselves liable. He brought and defended all actions for the Corporation ; and, in cases where poor freemen were oppressed, the Court of Aldermen and Court of Common Council directed him to take all the necessary steps for his protection. He had no fixed salary, but was paid by law costs, which usually amounted to from 1,5001. to °,OOOl, but when he had paid all the necessary expenses of the office his profits did not exceed a third of that sum. He was so much engaged by City business, that he was not able to take any other professional business. Some additions were then made to the evidence given on a former day relative to the duties of Common Sergeant. He bore the same relation to the Court of Common Council as the Recorder did to the Court of Aldermen. His salary was 1,0004 per annum, and lie also received briefs in all cases in which the City is a party, with which he receives fees. It was not usual for him to sit at the Old Bailey, except through courtesy and out of compliment to the Re corder. Now it was part of the duty of the office. If a free man had obtained his freedom in a surreptitious manner, it was his duty to file an information against him in the ➢layor's Court where the case is tried before the Re corder and a Jury of the City. That was the only mode in which a freeman could be disfranchised in London. Mr. Tyrrell, the City Remembrancer, was then called, and was proceeding to detail his duties when our reporter left. VICE CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. His HONOR the Vice-Chancellor did not take his seat in his Court at Westminster to.day ' till half.past one, having to breakfast with the Lord Chief Justice, at Lincoln's inn, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, this being the first day of Hilary Term. His HONOUR, on taking his seat, proceeded to give judg ment in Holdham v. Stoner, refusing the receiver, and giving the defendants the costs of the motion; in Porter v. Fox, con. curring with the course adopted by the Master; and in Nicholls v. Rowe, overruling the demurrer. SIR HENRY HELIX V. BELL. Sir E. SUGDEN obtained an order in this case on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Bell, directing the amended bill to be taken off the file, it having been placed there contrary to the agreement entered into between the parties. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY, I his being the first day of Hilary Term, their Lordships did not arrive at Westminster Hall until about half.past one o'clock. The Judges on the Bench were the Lord Chief Jus tice, Mr. Justice Littledale, Mr. Justice Taunton, and Mr. Jus tice Patteson. COOK V. WHITEHEAD. The SOLICITOR GENERAL moved for a new trial in this case, and was addressing the Court when our reporter left. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The LEARNED JUDGES of this Court took their seats upon the Bench this morning, (being the first day of Hilary Term) at half-past one o'clock. The Judges who will sit this term in banco, are the Chief Justice, Mr Justice Allan Parke, Mr. Justice Bosanquet, and Mr. Justice Alderson. The presiding Judge at the Nisi Prius sittings in term, will be Mr. Jus tice Gaselee, who will also take the business at Chambers. The CHIEF JUSTICE. on taking his scat informed the bar, that the Court would give judgment in the causes of" Beetham v. Gregg," and of" Dean v. Hogg," on Monday next. FREEMAN V. PAGANINI, Mr. Sergeant WILDE moved the Court that a sum of money, which had been paid by the defendant into Court, in lieu of bail, be paid over to the plaintiff; together with the costs of the present application. The cause had been tried, and judgment for the plaintifrobtained for about 301. The COURT granted the rule, but without the costs of the present application. Counsel not having any other motion to make, their Lord. ships adjourned to Monday, COURT OF EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY. According to ancient usage, the Judges, King's Counsel, &c. arrived in procession at Westminster Hall a few minutes after one o'clock, they having breakfasted at Lincoln's Inn, where they were received by the Lord Chief Justice, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. Soon afterwards the LORD CHIEF BARON, with BarOIISBAYLEY. VAUGHAN, and GURNEY took their seats on the Bench. No motion of any interest was made up till the time we went to press. BANKRUPTCY COURT-(THIS DAY), MR. LEECH'S BANKRUPTCY. This morning a meeting of creditors under the fiat issued against Mr. Leech, the tavern-keeper of Fleet-street, was held before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, for the proof of debts and choice of assignees. A retinue of servants, male and female, in the employment of the bankrupt attended, to prove their debts and were allowed. Mr. Buck, a wine -merchant, claimed to prove for 9601.; the claim was objected to on the ground that consideration had not been given for a bill of exchange he held ; it was mentioned that 100 dozen of wine had not been delivered. The claim was ordered to stand over, and 31;:i3t;Ck re quested to produce his books on the second examination. Mr. Jewin, a coal merchant, applied to prove on a bill of Exchange to a large amount. It appeared that he had supplied, in the year 1832, coals to a Doctor Dennis, who had gone abroad, and last year Mr. Leech accepted a bill for the debt. The claim was disallowed. The second meeting is fixed for the 7th of February. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, JAN. 10.—Wind S.S.W., squally.—Tlie outward. bound remain. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 10.—Wind S.

The Duke de Dames and his family are expected. Naples is like a French Colony, for one hears in any society names well known under the empire; and during the restoration, Beauvais, Lauriston, Talon, Marceline, Biron, Craon, Beaumont, and others (English), abio abound. Madame Malibran is the object of universal ad . miration ; M. de Beriot is also here. Our Carni►al will he brilliant in the extreme. Two soirees, given already by the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors, were honoured by the presence of the King and the Royal Family. WOOLWICH.—There is a lively stir in the Dock-yard. Orders are given to proceed with the Tra. falgar, aship of 120 guns ; and the Spitfire new steam ship is already rap dly building. The basin is unusually full, having in it the Warrior, 74, to be fitted up as a hulk, and the Hermes, Comet, African and Firely steamers, under repair. The .Medea war steamer is to he immediately got ready for sea. She is a beautiful and very I irge vessel, the length of a frigate. Captain Ans'en is to commission her. He arrived here a few weeks ago in the Salamander another noble war vessel. The faci lity with which the Salamander turned round on ap proaching the basin afforded great pleasure to a number of spectators. We mention this, because a main point in the utility of these war steamers consists in the readiness with which they can be put about. There is a report that Lieutenant Cook is likely to have one of these ves sels. He has distinguished himsel by his useful in ventions.—Kent Herald. APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Names of gen tlemen to whom the Court of Examiners granted certifi- cater of qualification on Thursday last :—Charles Cotton, of Lynn Regis; Alfred Cooper, of Wbettcone, Leicester shire; John Maurice Conway, of Liverpool; Robert Hunt, of Hull ; George Frederick Knipe, of Herefoi d ; Elias Thomas, of Bristol; John Watkins, of Cardiff. On Saturday evening, as Lafont, at the Theatre du Vaudeville, Paris, was performing in the Prir de Folk, representing Franconi tilting with another per sonating one of Loisset's troop, the lance of his adversary got entangled in one of the side scenes, and became so fixed that, as Lafont advanced in the ardour of his acting, be ran against the point of the lance, which entered his breast. The blood burst out with great free, bur, though seriously hurt, the actor was able to retire from the stage to his dressing room, where several medical gentlemen, who were among the spectators, immediately attended him and rendered every necessary assistance. They found the wound was very serious, but did not apprehend any fatal consequences. On the preceding evening Lepeintre, jun., who performs the Physician in the same piece, was obliged to leave the stage from an attack which had every symp tom of approaching apoplexy. Bishop Phillpo:ts has, through his secretary, Mr. Barnes, given notice to the Rev. John Sergeant, curate of Callington, who also possesses the perpetual curacy of the parish of Eloskerry, near Launceston, that he must either reside on the latter, or resign it. Mr. Sergeant is upwards of seventy years of age, and has, it appears, resided many years at Callington. Ile obtained the perpetual curacy before mentioned about seven years since. Our correspondent asks—Are there not six or seven pluralists resident within twelve miles of Launces ton, whose non-residence is more liable to objections than that of this aged clergyman, who, it seems, has signified his readiness to resign his perpetual curacy ? Now, the bishop, by selecting Mr. Sergeant to commence with, may wish to give a forcible hint to others, who are supported by high interest, that, as be would not admit age and infirmities as an excuse for non-residence, he cannot allow himself to be influenced by other motives. However, a little time will show how far this conjecture is well founded. —West Briton. Gale Middleton is decidedly one of the cleverest Novels which has come into our hands for some time past. It discovers, indeed, so much talent that n e would willingly have employed a more impressive and dig nified term than " clever." It is not a fashionable tale, since it exposes, most unmercifully, and with all the fidelity and vigour which experience and talent could supply, the littleness, the heartlessness, and absurdities of hoot ton. Such works as this we reckon excellent homilies. Its smart satire, its faithful and clever portraiture, and its wit, cannot fail to be appreciated. Besidts its various excellencies, "Gale Middleton":contains many manly, just, and beautiful sentiments.—Scotsman. The estates of the late Itichard Martin, Esq., in the county of Galway, which devolve to his son, contain more acres than those of any nobleman or gentle man in the United Kingdom. They extend several miles along the coast, but the greater portion consists of rocks inaccessible in many parts, and totally unproductive as to vegetation, and the principal population consists of some scattered fishermen along the coast. This rugged shore frowns on the Atlantic, but other parts of the estate are fertile and productive, and are inhabited by a numerous tenantry, who always insured the return of Mr. Martin, whenever he offered himself a candidate to represent the county in Parliament. CANADIAN TRIBUTE TO CAPTAIN ROSS. —Most gratifying will it be to the lovers of science, and to the province in general, that a notice has been given by an honourable member of our Assembly to bring in a bill authorising his Excellency Sir John Colborne to convey the thanks of our Legislature to Captain Ross, of the royal navy, accompanied by a gift of 1,000/. Considering the extraordinary merit it is intended to reward, and the singularly flourishing condition of our affairs, we should have been better pleased bad the sum moved for been rather larger, as better betokening our deep sense of the services of Captain Ross, and more symbolical of our prodigiously increased wealth.— Upper Canada Patriot. LIVERPOOL COTTON -MARKET, JAN. 9.-- The market has been flat to-day. About 1,200 bags have been sold. Prices have a tendency to decline. A measure of great importance to persons engaged in historical researches, and to the public at large, has recently been carried into effect by the exertions of the commissioners of the public records of the realm, and their secretary, Mr. Cooper. The accounts rendered into the Exchequer by the Sheriffs, and by other person.. ministers and bailiffs of the crown, are entered of record in rolls, which, for some reason not at present understood, are called pipe rolls. There is now in existence a series of these annual rolls, commencing with the second year of King Henry 11. (A.D. 1155), and reaching to the present year. It cannot but be regarded as highly credi table to the officers of the Court of Exchequer that this series should have descended unbroken, except by the loss of two rolls only. A few months ago 13 were understood to be lost. The commission issued under the auspices of the present Chancellor were not satisfied with this inror tnation; they directed that very strict and close search should be made in all the depositions of Exchequer records, and the result has been that 11 out of 13 have been dis covered, and are restored to the use of the public, leaving only two still wanting Commissioners to b completeavefound a meansannualof rolls. The opening much of the information to be found in these rolls to the public; and, with the concurrence of the officers, the Chancellor's rolls have been removed to the British Museum, where they are regarded as other manuscripts contained in that great repository, and where they may be consulted by every one who chooses, subject only to the same regulations as affect the use of any other books or manuscripts there.

VICTORIA THEATRE. A new piece, entitled the Royal Delinquent, or the Triumph of Justice, was last night produced at this theasre. The plot is as follows :—Don Pedro being deeply enamoured of Donna Beatrice, endeavours, though with little hope of success, to prevent her union with Don Carlos, to whom she is betrothed. To secure his pur pose he repairs to her house during the night in disguise, with the intention of carrying her off, but is interrupted by one of the city guards, whom he kills upon the spot. In the mean time Don Carlos, urged by jealousy and revenge, flies from the palace, and joins a band Of con spiring noblemen. The body of the slain guard being soon afterwards discovered, by the officers of police, an examination ensues, which leads to the conviction that the King is the murderer, and his Royal Majesty is forth with cited to appear before a Court of Justice by Juan Pascual, an honest farmer, who has been raised to the judicial dignity by the King on account of his blunt and independent bearing. The King, with a complaisance not much in keeping with the character of Pedro the Cruel, who is recorded to have put his enemies to death by roasting them on a spit, or boiling them in caldrons, re solves to obey this extraordinary mandate. The matter is, however, prudently enough not pushed to extremities by the Judge, and Don Pedro, after receiving a suitable admonition on the enormity of his offence, has the plea sure to learn that his life is spared, in consequence of the impossibility of finding any one bold enough to attempt to take it away. The King having set such a praiseworthy example of obedience to the laws, now demands, in his turn, that justice shall be done on a traitor who bas lately been apprehended. This traitor is no other than Don Carlos, who immediately receives sentence of death ; but Don Pedro, as if to give the lie to his traducers, and to prove bow shocking a piece of injustice it is to apply to him the epithet of cruel, pardons his rival, and sanctions his marriage with Donna Beatrice. Such are the prin. cipal incidents of the new production of last night, which met with a favourable reception from the audience. It is stated that Sir John Wrottesley is to be immediately elevated to the honours of the Peerage.—Bir ►niny&am Advotiser. The Bishop of Bath and Wells has this year added 30 acres more to the quantity of land he had before let to the pnor of Wells. Miss 'Julia Dunbar is engaged by Messrs. Abbott and Egerton at the Victoria Theatre. This young lady possesses considerable talent, and must prove a great acquisition. We understand that a new Drama is forth coming on Monday evening next at the Fitzroy, calculated from its character to increase the fast rising popularity of that theatre. It is founded on Banim's admirable story of the " Irish Plague ;" and proposes, by powerful graphic sketches of a tragic, though homely, nature, to illustrate the actual present condition of the suffering Irish peasantry. In the Literary Gazette of this day, Jan. 11 (No. 866), are, the latest Accounts from the Niger Expe• dition ; and a very interesting Letter from R.

PARLIAMENTARY SESSIONS IN COLLEGE GREEN.—Tbe new writs have not issued as yet for the meeting of the Irish members in College Green, to make the necessary arrangements for the repeal of the Union. Though the hot fit is now so powerfully operating upon the great leader, it is understood that, for some reason or other, he is not disposed to convene the tail upon the present occasion. This should not be allowed to escape notice. If such a convention were deemed so essentially necessary on the former occasion, it cannot be less important and necessary now..—Dublin Evening Post. POLICE INTELLIGILNCE. NAB Y L EB ONE. TRICKS OF A SMASHEIL—CharIes Chapman, a young man with a most bewitching obliquity of visage, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged as follows : Mr. Richard R;lner, confectioner, 13, Hallway street, stated that between seven and eight o'clock the previous evening the prisoner (who bad been indulging for some time his visionary organs by looking at the pastry through the window) entered the shop, and pointing to some maccaroons said, " How much are they each ?" " A halfpenny," re• plied witness, when the prisoner said, " I'll take two." Witness wrapped two in paper and gave them to the prisoner, who, in return, placed a shil ling in witness's hand, whi c h he immediately dis covered to a bad one. He then sent for a police man, who, having examined the shilling, also said it was a counterfeit, and expressed his opinion that the prisoner was a "regular smasher." Witness took the shilling out of the man's hand for the purpose of marking it, when the prisoner snatched it from his hand and put it in his mouth. He had seen no more of it. Police Constable Ego saw the prisoner make a snatch at the shilling and put it in his mouth. He seized him by the throat just at the time he heard the shilling pass his swallow. The prisoner, who said he lived at Shoreditch, and got his living by selling cabbage-plants, savoys, onions, and other vegetables about the streets, was ordered to find bail for his future good behaviour, Mr. RAWLINSON remarking that he had beat the prosecutor by swallowing the shillffig, as no Jury could satisfactorily say that the shilling which they had not seen was a bad one. CHRISTENING A JEW.—James Scull, a groom, was charged with having christened without due permission an aged Israelite, named Hiam Clam mei!, of No. 5, Ebenezer-square. The complainant, about ten o'clock that morning, vent down Devonshire-mewsh t o try to dishpose of of shome fur caps, von of vich he vash in the act of showing to a cushtomer, vett the prishoner, who vash in the loft over vhere he vash shtanding, threw a pail of vater pang over him ; he immediately looked up to shee vot it vas all about, ven another bucketful came right on to his face, thereby greatly dishturbing his powers of vishion, and disharrang ing the economy of his beard. Mr. RAWLINSON—W hat have you to say to treating the man in this way ? Prisoner—l did not do it, your Worship. Complainant—Oh, sho help me Cot, I have shvore you did do it, and I vill take my oath three times more, that you did. The prisoner, having called two witnesses, who proved that he was otherwise engaged at the time the complainant was supplied with a shower-bath gratis, was discharged. Yesterday information was received of the follow ing robbery :—On Wednesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the house of Mr. Lindlay, No. 22, Percy-stteet, Tottenham-court-road, was entered by thieves, and the following property stolen therefrom, viz., one gold French watch, one metal ditto; a locket with hair, set round with garnets; a nova mina brooch, with white stones; two gilt neck chains, very stout; a gold cross, set with amethysts; a pair of paste ear-rings, with drops; a ring, set with topazes and pearls; a wedding ring and a guard ; one half gold ring, set with emeralds and white stones; and one ditto, set with emeralds. The thieves effected an entrance at the attic win dow from an empty house adjoining. HATTON-GARDEN. John Newman was charged by Mr. Mortimer, obacconist, of Marsham-street, Clerkenwell, with being a common utterer of base coin. The prisoner passed two counterfeit crown-pieces on separate occasions, and on the last (the 7th) be was apprehended, after a most desperate resistance, in which he bit and kicked the officers, who were much injured by him. The case was clearly proved, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP•STREET. Paddy 11PGuire and Francis Carroll, two " nate Irish boys," who reside in Si. Giles's, were placed at the bar before Mr. BROUGHTON, upon a charge of breaking two panes of glass at the house of one Mr. Woollett. It appeared that they had wandered from the holy land, and tumbled through the com plainant's window in Bath-street, City-road, and, being irritated with the two panes of glass for breaking, were about to avenge the affront after the most approved Irish fashion, by breaking all the rest, when the police took charge of them. Paddy M'Guire, being asked what he had to say for himself, scratched his head, and looked very wistfully at his friend Carroll for an explanation. " Is it me, Pat ?" said Carroll, "By the Lord, then, it isn't myself that knows anything about the vvindey." Mr. BROUGHTON—What , you were drunk I sup pose ? " That's just it, your 'Worship," replied Carroll. " I pawned my coat this morning for twelve shillings, and devil a rap is there left now." Mr.BRoUGIITON—What, the whole twelve shil lings ? Have you spent it all ? Carroll—Every halfpenny, yet Honour ; and God knows I'd have pawned my wife in the bargain just then, I believe, if I could get anything upon her. Mr. BROUGHTON—You are a married man, then, and have children too, I dare say ? Carroll—ls it childer, yer Honour ? Faith then I have, just four teen of 'em, and works hard to maintain 'em by the sweat of my brow, the poor craturs. From a sly look which Paddy gave at his friend Carroll, however, it was inferred that the latter had taken the liberty of doubling the number of his offspring. The defendants were ordered to pay a fine of ss. for the broken window, or be imprisoned seven days ; but the complainant was so worked upon by Carroll's eloquence that at his request they were dis charged, upon their promise to pay him in the course of a few days. THAMES POLIGIE. Yesterday Cornelius Crowley, Timothy Regan, and Simon Keefe, three tall Irishmen, were charged with committing a most brutal assault on Timothy M'Carthy, whose head and face exhibited the marks of severe punishment. Mr. BRODERIP convicted the prisoners in the pe nalty of 31. each for the assault on M'Carthy, and to pay all costs of conviction. UNION-HALL PENNY THEATRES.—Repeated complaints have been lately made at this office relative to the nuisance occasioned in some parts of the district by the establishment of what are termed penny thea tres. These places are constantly the resort of the most abandoned of both sexes, and it has not un f. occurred, as the examinations at this office will testify, that children of respectable parents have been first led into crime by their attendance at such places. For some time past a theatre of the above description has been in existence in Griffin's. lane, White-street, against which complaints were theplace made, and the magist rates, determined in abating the nuisance, sent for the proprietor, who made his ap s p i e r a s. r an ß ce ich a a t r t d h s e on o , ffi rn c e e o y w e n st e e r rd o a f y, accompanied whereby a the performances nightly take place. Mr. TRAILL addressed the manager, and pointed out the evils arising from the existence of such nuisances as the penny theatres, and told him that in the event of his refusal to remove forthwith from the place, both himself and the whole of the per- sons forming his company should be taken into cus- Cody. The Manager hesitated to make any promise on the subject, but when the terrors of the treadmill were placed before his eyes he consented to "knock up" his establishment and go elsewhere. Mr. TRAILL stated that it was his intention to root out all the penny theatres in the district, as they were known to be the receptacle for the very worst characters of both sexes.
