Such a tax, however, is rather acceptable than otherwise to the large farmer, for they say it keeps men of little capital from growing hops and lessens the competition. Whether the malt-tax be acceptable or not on this ground to agriculturists, as it is levied, not on the barley-field, but on the maltster's pre mises, we cannot see how it falls on agricultural pro duce any more then the tax on gin, or on starch, or on soap, which is made from the fat of British fed stock. It is a tax on the consumers of beer, and as their . means of consumption are lessened—as the supply of barley outruns or falls short of their means, so the tax, like all taxes, by diminishing the power of consump tion, must be injurious to the agriculturist. The remedy for such an evil is not to tax the people's bread, which diminishes consumption, nor to prohibit or tax the importation of barley; but to tax malt imported at as high a sum as is levied on malt made at home, and, of course, to tax all malt made from foreign grown, as well as from English grown barley. To tax the people's bread becausethere is a tax on their beer, levied by the malt-tax, is a specinien of that street logic which justifies taking away a man's wig because another person has stolen his hat, and he cannot escape the clutches of either thief, nor procure assistance to bring him to justice. Our adversaries' cause rests on such fallacies, and the great master of' the art of dressing up cases abounds in them. " Think," exclaimed Sir lbonEaT PEEL, "of the amount of capital engaged in the production 0f45,000,000 of quarters ofgrain." " Think of the pecuniary interests involved. Think of the social interests of how many families depend for their subsistence and their com fint on this production. - Think, indeed! it Maker one's hair stand on end to think that every jot of the land and of the - capital vested in it, of the skill em ployed in producing the 45,000,000 quarters, all the cattle and implements which aid in the production, would be in existence after the Corn-laws were totally repealed, just as they are now. Why; the celebrated Marquis of TAMBOF, with 30,000,000 quarters of wheat ready to be made into bread and chueked for, nothing into the mouths of the people, does not more excite the wondering horror of the nation than does Sir ROBERT PEEL by his emphatic " Think !" Think, indeed ! that function in him Is confined to securing the ascendancy of his party, and the preserva tion of his own power. Think ! if he thought of the public, he would have stated, on the authority of Mr. MEEK, Mr. JACOB, and scores of travellers, that we can suddenly get no great supplies of food from any quarter, and that consequently the effect of the total abolition of the Corn-laws would-only cause a very small reduction in the price of corn, if it did not, in the first instance, cause, by the great additional demand for food, a rise in the price. It is, however, utterly im possible that the total abolition of the Corn-law can lower the price of food to its level in 1835 and 1836. Sir ROBERT PEEL, with his emphatic " think," cannot suppose that wheat will fall for a year or two, if the law be abolished, below 40s. When it did so fall, what was the consequence ? Were those mighty social and pecuniary interests, about which Sir ROBERT tells us to think, destroyed ? 'Were they injured ? Were they convulsed ? Rents were lowered ; a few farmers suf fered distress ; but the bulk of the labourers flourished. Mr. CAYLEY, indeed, and the barley growers, threatened to stop the supplies; but that - convulsion of these great social interests is wholly overlooked by all historians, and wholly forgotten, except by a few persons who take a particular interest in watching this question. .' The emphatic " think" of Sir ROBERT PEEL implies a gross exaggeration which is quite worthy of the man who sought to influence the House of Commons to:pass the Irish Coercion Act, by recounting a well drassed up tale of horror that had occurred thirty years isefore. In the present situation of this country, it is the duty of the Prime Minister to calm fears, to dispel apprehensions, and to disabuse the landlords of those prejudices which stand in the way of doing justice to the people. Very much to Sir R. PEEL'S discredit, he most mischievously takes a directly opposite course, and excites the fears, increases the apprehensions, and strengthens the prejudices of the landlords. Raving a ease to make out for them he acted as an advocate, and by trumpeting forth gross exaggerations, rallied them all by a war cry to the banner of protection. , lie is at once the opponent of truth and of the people. SPORTING IN' EL LI GENCE. TATTER SALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The Derby, Oaks, and Chester Cup, were severally touched upon in the course of a dull afternoon, but without leading to many alterations. For.the first of the three events Attila was backed •for 501. at the price ((doted, and Chatham for nearly 3001. at 11 and 12 to 1, the backers being numerous and " fond." The 30 to 1 class was lessened by the retreat of Auckland, who although not mentioned at a definitive price, is obviously a worse favourite by many points. Ballinkeele was in demand at 30 to 1, and the Dirce.colt at 1,000 to 30; " all the mare's" wore backed three times at 1,000 to 30. The most striking change in the Oaks affected Syren, who was backed for 1001. at 12 to 1, an improvement of eight points on our last quotation; the lot (Scott's) was also backed for a similar amount at 7to 2. The Cup betting was flat and unimportant. By a notice posted in the room, irappears that the subscription commences on the first of March, and that subscribers will have to agree to abide by the existing laws, and any new rules that hereafter may be made, by the Jockey Club concerning the room.

Scribe's original comedy of La Chaine, considered one of his best pieces, appeared in an English dress at this theatre last night under the title of the Breach of Promise of Marriage. The immorality grafted on it by the taste of the French stage has been dismissed by the adapter, and it also partakes of other general alterations. The chief sustainer of the piece is Amery (Mr. Lyon), a young musician, who is patronized by Lady Eastland (Mrs. Yates), and who becomes in love with him. Amery, preliminarily to this, had attached hi mse lf to Ell en ( Miss E. Ch a pli n ), th e daughter of a Bristol merchant, but ren dered vain by the condescension of Lady Eastland, he returns her passion. Her brother, however, Lord Starboard (Mr. Yates), being cognizant of these circumstances, urges, by all the in fluential means of which he is master, the marriage of Amery with his sister's rival, Ellen. This is effected, and Lady East land is finally obliged to conquer her passion for Amery. Some light under-play on the part of Dabbleton (Mr. Wright). a spruce and coxcombical attorney, who addresses letters to Lady Eastland, without knowing her rank, and who, by rea son of his uncourageous nature, is constantly in dread of duels from her brother, furnishes some happy points and witty escapades. Mr. Yates made an excellent Admiral, and the drollery of Mr. Wright was very effective. The house, which was crowded, received the piece with great applause, and it certainly promises to become a favourite. LONDON! TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1842. PETER MORRISON, Resident Director.

" Minden, in Westphalia, Feb. 4th, 1842." A man named William Knowlder, who stated that he was an engineer; and that he had an independent property, was charged with having upwards of a hundred cigars and a quarter of a pound of tea. A Thames-police constable said that he met the defendant that morning in the neighbourhood of the river, and knowing that the man was a smuggler, asked him whether he had any thing about him, to which he replied in the negative. Witness, however, found the cigars and th e t ea on hi s person . The defendant declared that he had purchased the articles for his own use, and paid a high price for then. He was fined 3/.

Yesterday Michael Reynolds, a very tall, aged, respectable looking man, was charged with begging. It appeared that the prisoner was apprehended by John Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society, asking alms in Piccadilly, of several different ladies and gentlemen, to wh om h e was very importu nate, and persisted in following them for a considerable distance, alleging that he was nearly desperate from hunger, not having tasted food for three days. Knowing that he was a common impostor, and had been several times committed for begging, the officer took him into custody, and found on him 15s. in silver, Is. in copper, and a silver watch. He was committed for one month, and 7s. 6d. of the money found on him de ducted for his keep in prison ; the remainder and the watch were given up to him. Four omnibus drivers, and nine cab drivers, appeared on summons to answer the complaint of Sergeants Smith and Rogers of the C division, for causing an obstruction in Piccadilly—the drivers of the omnibusses by stopping longer than necessary to take up or set down, facing the ead of the Burlington Arcade ; and the cab drivers for plying for hire, eastward of the west side of Sackville-street. They were fined in sums varying from lOs. to 3s. and thoscosts. The nuisance is loudly complained of by the shopkeepers on the spot. William Foote, a stalwart and very powerful young man, who has long been a pest to the West-End as a street beggar, was committed for 3 months to hard labour, for beating, in a most brutal and unmanly manner, John Horsford, one of the constables belonging to the Mendicity Society, who apprehended him on Saturday night in Arlington-street, Piccadilly. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday, David Miller, Robert Walters, John Brewster, and John Anderson, all belonging to the Perth steam-boat, were charged before Mr. Broderip, with having committed an assault upon Richard Day, a waterman, and obstructing and assaulting a Thames policeman in the execution of his futy, by pushing him into the water. It appeared that on Sunday night about I I o'clOck, the de fendants went to Wapping Old" Stairs, for the purpose of hiring a boat to take them on board the Perth. They had agreed with Day, and got into the beat which was pushed off, and on being requested to sit down, began to abuse the water man, and insisted upon r o wi ng th e beat themselves. Day became alarmed at their violent conduct, pulled the boat ashore and declined the fare. Upon this, they seized him,.and held him down in the boat, which they pushed off, and it drifted down vs ith the tide. Day called out for the police, who quickly pulled towards them, and Policeman Richard Oliver got into the boat. ; he had no sooner done so, however, than Brewster made an attack upon him and pushed him overboard. Fortunately, it was not high water at the time, and Oliver succeeded in get ing a footing, and ultimately dragged the boat on shore, when they were all four taken to the station•house. They were all intoxicated. Mr. BRODERIP said that the offence was a very serious one, and if the policeman had been drowned, they would most likely have been tried for their lives. They might think them selves fortunate that they were standing where they were, as in all probability, bad they drifted much further, the boat could have been capsized by running against another vessel. He should fine them all—Brewster 5/ , or two months' prisonment ; Walter 3/., or six weeks' imprisonment; Ander son 205.. or a fortnight's imprisonment, and Miller 10s., or one week's imprisonment. The defendants paid the fines, and went quietly off to their ships. The debate on Mr. VILLIERS' motion was again re newed last night, and, rather Contrary to expectations, was again adjourned. It was begun heavily enough by Mr. HARDY, who inflicted on the House a dissertation on laws that were passed to benefit the country, and were beneficial to particular classes. Mr. ll.tuny seems to have a notion that a law is a positive blessing and must do good; We have understood that every law being an infringement on liberty is an evil to be justified and defended only on the ground of necessity and overcoming some other evil. On this principle, we admire the wisdom of that ancient people who required every person DEAFNESS.—Sound Magnifiers, and Invisible Operative Voice Conductors, to enable persons at aa advanced age, and of old standing extreme deafness, to join in genera'. conversation, and 'to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly; they are the size of a very small gold seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they are not in the least perceptible nor snore uncomfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place ; they are composed of a metal to collect sound, peculiar to the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons themselves ; and although they are se extremely smal yet they enable those afflicted with extreme deathess, and those who are only slightly dull of hearing to hear in every respect equal to those of most acute hearing.

Mr. Garbett, the new Professor of Poetry, delivered the first BamptonLecture for the present -oar, } ,at St. M morning. Diary ' s Church, t hi s mo • The church was crowded in every part. Mr. Grant, Commoner of St. John's College, has announced his secession from the esta blishment, and has follolled the example of Mr. Sibthorp. Se ' Veral of the junior members of the University are expected to join the Roman Catholic communion shortly. to put a halter round his neck who proposed a law, that he might be ready to give pp his life if he wantonly and unnecessarily wished to inflict a new restriction on the people. Such legislators as Mr. HARDY glory in their immunity, and, regarding. plenty of food as a great evil, they complacently—without any fear of the rope—Meke mid support laws to lessen and limit its quantity. The debate soon displayed to us a new feature in the character of 'some of our friends. Colonel Fox, who was followed by others, declared that he was for a total repeal, but not for that total repeal now, lie and they admit that the law is a great injustice, but they want gradually to get rid of it. What should we think of the police which gradually proposed to check btu-glary, or which promised to put an end to murder a few years hence? We regret to say that there are many men like Colonel Fox in the House, Mr. MAcAut.A.r, Mr. C. BULLER, and Mr. RICE, the Member for Doter, for example ; and they state as the ground of their reluctance instantly to st, op the cruel robbery ordained by the Legislature, Some questions were asked last night, in the House of Commons, relative to the case of Mr. ELTON; from the answers to which, it results that, in the opinion of the Admiralty, the Court-martial on that 'gentleman. was composed of officers on whose great knowledge and per fect impartiality_ not a doubt can be thrown ; that Cap tain WILLIAMi, the prosecutor, is an officer of high and unblemished character ; that Mr. ELTON was legally punished ; and that the Admiralty caused him to be released, because • they , thought, after his long imprisonment on board ship, the justice of the ease and the discipline of the Navy were satis fied. We scarcely ever knew an example- of the Admiralty not upholding the authority of a Captain, or a series of Captains composing a Court-martial, against a poor Middy or' any other subordinate. If indeed a Captain or an Admiral were concerned, the Admiralty might doubt or hesitate, but if the victim he beloW that rank, the Court is in general held to be immaculate, and he is denied all redress. that there are vested interests under it. What can we expect from the Tories, who avow themselves our enemies, and are determined to be our tyrants, when our friends regard a sixpence of a Dowager's annuity, or a shilling of a landlord's rent, as of infinitely more importance than the health and lives of the people, now daily sacrificed. by the law which deprives them of food ? When we heard such sentiments from our friends, our hearts sank within us, and we felt at once an almost annihilating conviction that all hope of obtaining anything from Parliament must be given up, and the people must rely on themselves and on GOD. The debate was enlivened by Mr. MACAULAY'S eloquence and Mr. C. •BULLER'S wit, but neither the one nor the other atoned to us for their want of stern justice. Mr. BULLER was less happy than usual, and more inconsistent. Mr. MACAULAY smote Sir ROBERT PEEL .rery hard, but he acknowledged We are acqtninted with one case in which a diWerent rule was followed. A Lieutenant of the Navy nxis tried by a Court-martial in the Mediteranean, about three years ago, for improper conduct ; the evidence against him was all hearsay or subornation ; nevertheless there was in the breasts of the Court a horror at his imputed offence--as we understand there is now in the breasts of disciplinarians a horror at the liberties taken by junior . officers—and he •was found guilty and dismissed the service. Thal , officer, by dint of strong representations at head-quarters, and strong proofs of his innocence supplied from other sources, obtained a re vision of the proceedings. The Admiralty referred the matter to its law officers, who pronounced the whole proceedings illegal, declared that the - evidence did not justify the shadow of an imputation on the cha racter of the officer, and the Whig Admiralty- very properly and justly restored him to his rank. That such a case occurred in the Mediterranean is some ground of . suspicion that Mr. ELTON'S ease may not have been conducted altogether according to rule. We cannot place much .contidenee, therefore, in the customary assertion of Sir. G. COCKBURN, that the Court-martial was quiet a model, when we know that the same Admiral, Sir JOHN Louis, presided on both trials. We have heard tales enough from that quarter 'to be-, Nye that officers pl ace very li tt l e re li ance on the dis crimination, the firmness, or the impartiality_ of that. officer. We •hope, therefore, that some Member • yif the House will bring the subject fully under its con sideration, and, if possible, carry a little light into all the recesses and pigeon-holes of the Admiralty. that he was not likely to satisfy his consti tuents. He will probably - hear. from Mr DUNCAV MACLAREN and the total and immediate repealers of Edinburgh. Mr. MACAULAY is one of the Members who are for compromising a felony, because it is conjoined with a breach of trust, and has given to the dishonest servants of the people a profit in their own wrong. Want of space will compel us to take only a very brief and scanty notice of Mr. WAKLEY's speech, which had the merit, though it was rambling, of telling the House some -most important truths. He was peculiarly happy when he spoke of the Protestant landowners regarding tithes for the maintenance of • the Church as a burden; and when he told the landlords they ought to regard as a pleasure, with all their pririlegos,to contri bute to the happiness of the poor. He asked empha tically, what they meant by' agricultural protection ; was it the protection of their mansions and parks, or of the mud hovels of their half-starved labourers ? lie characterised the course of the landlords as mad, and said of the Corn-law, that it was " the master infamy of the world," Such language► has seldom been heard in Parliament, it has never before been listened to, as it was in this case, with marked attention.. .Sir lionEaT ORONER S INQUEST.—Last evening Mr. Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital, on the body of James Barfly, awed twenty-eight. Wm. Thompson, foreman in the employ of Sir John Rennie and Co., iron -founders, of No. 6, Holland street, Black friars•road, said the deceased was employed by the same firm, and that about Live, A.M., on Saturday last, they were busied, with fi•e others, in founding a diving bell. For this purpose they were standing around an immense ladle,- containing six toes of molten iron. This ladle i. suspended by a crane, has two handles on each side, ever pivots, and steadied by two seven-foot levers whilst the metal is being poured into the pipe that conveys it to the mould. Two amen stand at each of the bandits, and three at the levers. It is the business of she men at the handles to tilt very gently the immense ladle, whilst the levers are used to steady it, and to prevent the men at the handles from pouring out the liquid metal too fast. On the day in question deceasedwas one of the men at the handles, and when all was in readiness two keepers were taken away from the sides of the ladle, and the men pouring out the liquid did so with a jerk, whereby too much of it fell into the pipe that conducts to the mould, and flying in red hot iron sparks about, frightened one of the men at the levels, who let go the one which he held, and ran away. The other two men at the levers following his example, the consequence was, the complete upturning of the ladle, and the spilling of the liquid metal. The men, in their alarm, ran confusedly to and fro. whereby six were injured, and deceased lost his life. In fact, he ran into a round hole under the ladle, which containing a large quantity of the molten liquid, he was fatally scalded. Mr. James Rae, a gentleman belonging to the firm, witnessed the accident, and confirmed the testimony of the foreman. It the men had not been frightened, it would not have happened. Mr. Pearson, house-surgeon, said deceased died of the scalds,. which were excessive, on Sunday evening. The wife sf de ceased said that be told her that the men thought the ladle was badly poised, and therefore run away. He said, alto, that it was an accident which, under the cirumstances, five• hundred men could not have prevented. Verdict, " Accidental death." PEEL must hasten to bring the Corn-law debates to a close, or he will have a flame kindled in the empire, running from the House of Commens. His friends help it on. ➢ir. MoNcKToN MIL!:Es told the House, and through the Mouse told the people, that all rights of property were settled and arranged by the Legislature—a most dangerous doctrine to hold. it at once brands the Legislature as the cause of the opu lence of the few and the poverty of the many, and whets the desire of the many to get hold'Uf the power of making the laws, in order to rectify this terrible in equality. If Sir RoBERT PEEL can muzzle neither friends nor foes, cannot inspire the former with discre tion, nor make the latter afraid, the sooner he shuts up the House of Commons the better fur him.

POST. —The heaviness witne se.l in the several markets , could not be at all accounted for. The s'gnature of the Ant s avery Treaty b t t h e leading Powers, with the omi ss i on dr France, is understood to hare been grin to the active influ ence of the representati ve o f the Viiited States at Paris. This circumstance was of course, not overlooked. Failures were, . moreover, talked of. A bill-broker, and several, or at all events two or three houses connected with the seed, or -, oil-tride, carrying on business on the bank: of the river, were said to be under embarrassment, and reports of this nature have gegerally some effect on the value of stock ; hut we should rather 'think the decline we have quoted may ha'.e had its origin principally in the bear operations of the dealers in anticipation of the ac count-day in Consols, which is close at hand; SlJN.—There has been a decline in the funds to-day o f iA to per cent. in the sbfence of any speculative action upon the mar et, and there appeared less confidence among the holders. The numerous amendments upon the Government Corn.. law plan to be brought forward in Parliament, are looked upon in the City as rather indicative of a "split ;" for although there doeswas a majority notfolli,w o l that f 23s thega i same the m t e m re of Lord majority easuwill notor c .. o l n s R i d u e s r s el l, it even Peel's instalment too great. The prospects of our tradin g in terests, whatever may be said to the contrary, are undeniably bad, and the improvement which, after so long a period of slackness and mistrust, many were anticipating as a matter of :ourse, this spring, has not yet announced itself. From the United States, it is feared, we shall still have but few orders compared with former seasons. Consols were at from 891 t 3, to 88/ and 89 for Money, and from 894 Ito 88/ and 89 for Account.

Loss OF THE KENT STEAMER.—Yesterday morning intelligence was received in the city, by the underwriters at Lloyd's, of the loss of the Commercial Steam Navigation Company's steamer the Kent, Captain Lakeman, which happened'on the morning of Saturday last, during the heavy fog, on the coast, off the village of Barton, in Hampshire, but was happily unattended with 'loss of human lite. It appears that the Kent, which was a fine two. masted vessel, upwards of 120 feet In length, and of about 200 tone burden, has lately been running with another steamer between Tor quay, in Devonshire, and Southampton: She left Torquay on Fri day evening at the usual time, with about 50 passengers, and all went on smoothly till about four o'clock on Saturday morning, when a heavy fog came on. The weather not being boisterous, though extremely cold, the master, Captain Lakeman, considered it prudent to proceed on the voyage, but, at the same time, the speed Well greatly slackened, and extra" look-outs" were ordered forward.. On arriving off' Poole, the vessel was kept well out from the land, and was supposed to be continuing in that track, when suddenly, to the amazement and consternation of all on board, she went ashore between Hurst Castle and Christchurch Point. She struck with immense violence ; in fact so great was the shock that all those on deck were knocked down, and two of the seamen thrown overboard, but fortunately they regained the deck. The scene that ensued amongst the passengers, amongst whom were several females, was of a most distressing character, for it was fully anticipated that the vessel would momentarily go to pieces. Capt. Lakeman acted with the greatest fortitude, and to that alone is at. tributab:e the preservation of all on board the i.l.fated vessel. After a alt rt delay the boats were lowered, and in the course of an hour the whole of the passengers were safely placed on shore. In the meantime assistance came up, and also a body of the Coast Guard service, when the most strenuous exertions were made to get the vessel off, but it was found utterly impracticable, and, ac. cording to the accounts received, it is feared that she will become a total wreck. It is understood that she was insured for 2,0001. The Kent was launched at Gravesend about 16 years ago, and till purchased, five years sinoe, by the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, was employed running between London and Gravesend. SURREY Tit EATRE.—Last night a new two-act drama, entitled Ombra ; or, The Spirit of the Rocking Stone, from the pen of Mr. Fitzball, was produced at this theatre, and received with complete success. The present novelty is of the class called romantic, with a mixture of supernatural, abounding in incidents and situation,, of much interest, but of too complex a character to be given in detail, The management aided the production with effective scenery, and some very pleating music. Another attrac tion of the evening was the first appearance of Mr. Collins, the To. calist, in the character of Teddy Mullowney, in the favourite farce of Teddy Me Tiler. He performed the part with considerable spi. rit, and introduced with much favour the two Irish songs of " The Boys of Kilkenny," and " The Widow Mahony." This is our Paisley Candlemas fair week, but a more dispirited arid unbusiness fair never passed over in town. On Thursday there were scarcely any cattle in the market, and, with the exception of a slight addition to the number of country visitors, nothing was observable beyond an ordinary market.day to the town's-people, who have, in general, no other thing to think of, but in bitter despair to reflect Aver their losses, or to contrive where the next meal may come from, fair days and ordinary days come now all alike. The voice of mirth, and the lialf.day's enjoy ment, dressed nut hi their best attire, are alike completely gone. The farmers in general in this quarter are becoming, from dear bought experience, ardent converts for the repeal of the Corn.)aws. Low prices for their produce, a difficulty to find purchasers, and a still greater difficulty to obtain payment, is leaving them with doubtful prospects as to their ability to provide for the rent day, and with no hope whatever of being able to fulfil their engagements, if a speedy change do not soon take place in the condition of the manufacturing population.—Glasgara Ruenhog Post. Wis.:LAND, TDE PORT. —The night that followed the battle of Jena W3S a terrible one to the inhabitants of Weimar. The contest raged in its streets and walks ; showers of halls fedi into the town ; all around houses were seen in flames; plunder and devastation were at their height. But amidst this general con. fusion, Wieland, the poet, received a proof of the high estimation in which his talents were held by him who had thus directed time storm of war ; for, by Bitonaparte's orders, a guard was placed be fore his house for its protection. Next morning Marshal Ney waited upon him in person. He found him in his room, which had been stripped of its furniture before the guard had been placed. Wieland bad only his own chair remaining, which he offered to the Marshal ; but Ney, with politeness and kindness, gently re.seated the old man in his chair, and observed jiat he knew better whose duty it was to stand in the presence of Wisiland. WILSON' LECTURES ON BcoTuil MUSIC.—This po. pular vocalist gave a lecture last evening at time Music.hall, Store street, on the music and song of his native land. He chomte for the immediate subject connected with his series of lectures the actven. tures of Prince Charles in his attempt In the year 1745.6 ; and illustrated his narrative with the songs of the times, and the airs which were played during the events of that stirring period. Amongst the songs were—" Welcome. Royal Charlie," " Whall be King but Charlie ?" " Wha wadna fight for Charlie ?" "0, this is no nay sin Lassie ;" the well-known song " Johnnie Cope ;" " Allister M'Allister." All these songs•were sung ty Mr. Wilson with exquisite taste, and must, to lovers of Scotch melody, be a perfect treat. The part that was purely a lecture was well delivered, and was made very entertaining by the great variety of anecdote and the aptness of many pootical quotations. The room was crowded with company. . . SUDDEN i)Evrn IN COVENT-GARDEN :MARKET.— Last evening an inquest wa, held at the Unicorn, Henrietta street, Covent-garden, before Mr. Riggs, ol the body of Michael Hare, aged 52, a porter, in Covent-garden Market. On Saturday morning last he was employed to carry a load of vegetables to :Chancery-lane, and on returning with the empty basket on his head, he suddenly fell on theground, and he never moved after wards. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of Clod." A FOUNDRY oN FlRE.—About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening last, Messrs. Sanders and Williams, of this town, were alarmed by the upper part of the foundry taking tire. The tire was extinguished before it had effected any material damage, and was caused by the overheating of the furnace.-- Bedford Mercury. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday nn impost WAS held berme Mr. C. J. Carttar, at the Chequers Inn, Eltham, on view of the body of John Kennedy, Esq., a gentleman of fortune. Eliza beth Burney, housemaid to the deceased, said that she was laying the cloth fur dinner, about three o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, when her master was suddenly taken ill, and before medical assist . ante arrived he was a corpse. Thomas Kennedy deposed that .he was a solicitor, residing in (7haneery.lane, the deceased was his father, aged 62 years, and was subject to a cough, hut enjoyed general got,' health. The witnesses had no doubt that deceased died from natural causes. Verdict—. Died by the visitation of tied Last night an investiglition was gone into before Mr. Payne, at the City Arms, West-square, St. George's.road, on the body of Mrs. Eliza Dean, 38, the wife of a portrait.painter, residing at No. 27 in the above square. It appeared that the deceased had far several months past been in a very ill state of health, arising from the death of one of her children by scarlet fever, and was at times very melancholy. On Friday night, on one of the children going into the kitchen, she saw her legs and part of her body hanging over a watetbutt. She screamed for assistance, and police_constable L 44 was called in. Her shoes were off, and befote immersing herself she had taken the busk from her stays. On being taken out of the water she was laid on pillows in front of the Rre in the front kitchen, and Mr. Caley, surgeon, of the I.Anden-road, used all his endeavours to restore animation, but ineffectually. To reach the top of the waterbutt she had stood en a nine.gallon cask, and then worked herself up to the top by her knees. It was stated that she was a most fend and careful mother, and her extreme care for the welfare of her children had brought on her illness. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." A MODERN ACTIEON.—A built ten days ago, Wil liamson, the welt-known and highly respected huntsman to the Duke of Buccleuch, had very nearly met the fate of Actmon,in the kennel near Dalkeith Palace. Mr. Williamson had gone into the kennel with a whip in his hand, but without the red hunting.coat, when a dog which had been recently added to the pack ap proached him, with a threatening growl, upon which Williamson gave the animal a smart rap over the nose with his whip. The ieg instantly fastened on his arm, and directly the whole kennel Sew at their master. Fortunately two of the keepers, who were at hand, came to, the rescue, and whipped oft' the dogs. Williamson was considerably lacerated, but, we are glad to learn, is in no danger, as his wounds are rapidly healing. —Caledonian Mercury/. )n Snttdav night, shout nine o'clock, John Best, one of the locknien in the employ 'of the London Dock Company, went neon the river in a boat at the extreme of the dock at Wal. ping, to fix the boom across the mouth of the lock °Weide the gates, to prevent the entrance of vessels and craft, when he fell overboard.

Last night a new domestic . drama of an interesting nature, and with something more than fair pretentious to merit, was produced at this theatre, under the title of Mark Freeland. The language is not of a very forcible character, but the situa tions strong, and in some eases poeerful. Mr. Rayner, who has been so long and so injudiCiously absent from the London theatres, assumed the hero, an impassioned rustic, imbued with strong feelings ; and never did we see him to greater advantage. His powerful bursts of passion, and his subdued pathos, were alike true to nature, and tested the feelings of his auditory with great effect, who frequently rewarded him with plaudits long and loud. The manager has shown s both taste and tact in the engagement, which will assuredly prove a source of profit to him. A Miss Mitchell, from the United States, sustained the heroine; she is rather a pretty actress and also a pretty woman. Mr. Fitzjames bustled through a penny-a4iner with amusing eccentricity, which should have been done by Wild. At the conclusion of the piece the applause became tumultuous, and there was a vehement call through the whole house for Rayner, who ultimately appeared before the curtain to an. nounce the piece for every evening till further notice. • COURT CIRCULAR. BRIGHTON, MoNnAv.—Her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert drove out this morning, at eleven o'clock, in in a pony photton, attended by Colonel Grey on horseback and one outrider. After driving in front of the town for about an hour the Royal party returned to the Pavilion. Notwithstanding the weather was very inclement, with the wind blowing strong from the south-west, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Sir George Cowper and Lady Fanny Howard, left th e Palace at one o'clock, and weked on the Chain Pier for nearly an hour. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was taken out for a carriage airing at one o'clock. A detachment of the 2d Scots Greys, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Clark, and accompanied by their splen did band, paraded the principal streets of the town. On passing the Pavilion the band Struck up the National Anthem. In consequence of the inclemency of the weather, although the carriages were ordered, the Royal party did not leave the Palace this afternoon. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke, and Duchess of Cambridge have been prevented from paying their proposed visits Ito the Marquis of Exeter at Burghley House, and to the Duke of Beaufort at Badminton, in consequence of the decease of the Royal Duchess's niece, the Princess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, daughter of the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge.
