Cork nteution. gCH. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The tragedy of Macbeth introduced Mr. Macready, here last night for the first time since his.returnfrom America. He was received with the warmest ac clamations from all parts of •the house, which, how ever, he returned with somewhat more stateliness than beseemed the occasion. There is one pOint about this gentleman's acting which at once stamps its degree of excellence. He cannot play Shakspeare, ergo, he wants.mind: • By mind, we do not so much mean that every-day quality, by - which. performers of , respectable' pretensions 'to taste and judg ment are enabled to pourtray the ordinary charac ters- of life; but that far higher faculty whiCh at once, from a Certain instinctive sympathy, (without which knowledge is'eOld and labour super fluouS), seizes on the strong points of a. Prospero, a Macbeth, a Hamlet, a Lear 7 —or ,to descend. in the scale of intellect--rof a Richard III.,• Posthumus, or an Othello, and identifies itself - so firmly with them, that to recall the one is but to conjure up the image of the other. Mr. Macready has none of this superior faculty : his name is associated with no Shaksperian recollections ; we do not speak of his Coriolanus (which he attempted some years since, and failed in), or even of his Othello in the same strong spirit, whereby We identify John Kemble with the one, and Kean with the other; we recollect him merely as the.. representative of Virginius, and this rather because he was first in the part, than from any extraordinary splendour of intel- leet that he flung around it. His Macbeth of last night has fully confirmed the justice of these few pre liminary remarks. It wanted the poetic elevation with which Shakspeare has.invested it. It gave but a glimmering insight into the alternate fine sensibility —fierce. desperation—moody spleen=and frantic am bition bf Macbeth; but rendered him instead, from first to last, a mere common minded despot and murderer. This may be Mr. Macready's estimate of the character, but most assuredly it is not that which the world entertains of the " Royal. Thane," in whom humanity (for it should be borne in mind. 'that 'Shakspeare's most. revolting characters, even MaSter Barnardine himself, have strong claims on. our sympathies), philosophy, and a high chivalrous sensibility, Were strangely blended with the oppo site extremes. Mr. Macready acted Macbeth. as his friend Mr. Sheridan Knowles would have written it. —need we add that it was a failure ? T o de tail minute foibles, where the general out line was deficient, might appear invidious.— We cannot, however, refrain' 'from expressing our surprise that the fine apostrophe to sleep, " sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care" should have been given by Mr. Macready in' a roar worthy. of a Tower gun. Macbeth, it; should be remembered, at that 'precise period, was: just reco vering from the wild excitement produced by his first murder : he was both physically mid mentally, ex hausted.;itirely, then, he would not have invoked sleep as Falstaff called the waiter, with a bellow ? Mr. Macready'S positions were equally peculiar. In the famous banquet scene, for instance, he threw himself into •an attitude evidently • of trans-atlantic origin, for nothing in the slightest degree approach ing to it was ever yet seen in European nature ; how he balanced himself during so desperate a defiance of equilibrium is, and must ever remain, a mystery to all but himself. Mrs. West's Lads Macbeth was, like this Lady's other performances—respectable.' We heard a Gentleman (who smelt powerfully 'of cheese) just two boxes off us, say, that it was equal to Mrs. Siddons ; he , became in consequence an object.of considerable curiosity to us, throughout the remainder of the evening: The' house at half-price was well attended. JERSEY, NOv. Gaspee, Y IBERT, arrived to-day from Rio Janeiro, sailed the 24th of Sept: She brings advice that a few days before 6,000 troops em barked un board Brazilian ships.of war for Rio.Grande. The Undaunted frigate, Captain AUG USTUS ClaFro an, C. B. , is expected to leave Chatham this day for Spithead, to embark Lord W. BENT' NCR, Governor ral of India. • • • • • NEW YORK, OCT. 13.—The British ship Valorous arrived at this port yesterday froin Kingston, Jamaica, via Havannah. • It was understood on Saturday that two line of-battle ships (the Ocean and another) were to proceed from Portmouth to reinforce Sir EIVD. CODRINGTON. It appears, however, that such is not to be case : Ministers probably consider, :that after the decisive conduct of the gallant officer, he does not stand in need of assistance, more especially as he must ere this haie been joined by Sir THOS. STAINES, in the /sir. It is a curious fact, which, we believe, has not previously been noticed, th at on the death of the present King of SARDINIA ; should h e die without issue, the Duke d'AltaoutEme will be the legiti tnate .heir of. the house of ,STUART ; awl, like the other unfortunate branches of this family, who were buried in St. Pete r's, in ; Rome, will re cord amongst his titles " King of England."--Times. BARCELONA, Nov. I.—From the arrange ments lately made, relative to the French troops in gar rison here, nothing like an idea of their departure. seems to be entertained. The garrison at present is thus composed— the Ist Light Infantry, the 10th, 16th, 29th, and 41st Regiments of the Line, a Regiment of Cavalry, and a Regiment of Lancers; in all 7,000 men. BARBADOES, SEI'T. IS.—(From an anony- Mous Correspondent.)---7Lieutenant Was. JACKSON, of his Majesty's 25th Regiment, was fined by the laws of Bar badoeS SOL for taking prisoner a free coloured man, armed With a musket and fixed bayonet, in a riotous mob, on the night of sth July. The Lientenant was affording,protee tion to the cargo of a vessel wrecked on that coast, and though shamefully ill-treated, be amply succeeded in saving the most valuable part of it. The Agent for Lloyd's has refunded him the whole sum. Yesterday, the LORD LIEUTENANT enter tained the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Judges, and several Members of the Bar, at . dinner, at the Vice-Regal Lodge in the Park. Sir W3l. M‘Manow, Master of the Rolls, had been invited, but we understand declined going, in consequence of the misunderstanding subsisting between him and the LORD CHANCELLOR.—DubIin Evening Post. Upon the swearing in of a new Lord Chan eellor in Ir e l an d, i t is usual for the Master of the Rolls to be in attendance, and assisting at the ceremony. Upon the arrival of Sir ANTHONY - HART in Dublin, a King's Messenger was dispatched to the country seat of the Master, with an official letter, intimating the day upon which Sir ANTHONY was to he sworn in, and requesting his, (the Master's), attendance. The On dit has it, that upon his Honour's opening the despatch, and throwing a glance at it hie handed it back open to the Messenger, desiring him to re tarn it to the person who sent him, and to desire that a let ter might be sent him that he could read ! As a matter of curse Sir Was. WMAHON did not attend.—... Dublin Even ism Post. ANECDOTE., —When Dr. JOHNSON courted Mrs. PORTER, whom be afterwards married, he told her, ".that be was of mean extraction ; that he had no . money ; and that he bad an uncle hanged !" The lady, by the way of reducing herself to an equality with the Doctor, replied, a that she had no more money than himself ; and that though she had not a relation hanged, she had fifty who deserved hanging." And this accomplished this very curious amour.—Elgin Courier. SUSPICious DEATH.—Throughout yester day and Sunday, a very considerable excitement has pre • vaned in the neighbourhood of Little Saffron-hill, in conse qUence of the sudden death of the wife of a tradesman, named HARVEY, occupying No. 11. For along time past the deceased and her husband were in the habit of quarrel ling, which quarrels generally terminated in her being se verely beaten. On two occasions last week, the neigh bours were alarmed by her screams, and went to her as sistence ; she bad then been pushed or had fallen down stairs, and during Friday complained of being ill. On Saturday morning she was found dead in her bed; and the report then became prevalent that she had been murdered by her husband. This rumour gaining ground, reached the ears of the parish authorities, who after making the necessary inquiries, considered it proper that the facts should be investigated by a Coroner's Jury, and a notifica tion to that effect was yesterday evening transmitted to the Coroner, THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. The Inquest will. be 4111 this evelln• DUBLIN-ISUNDAY,. Nov. 11. (FRCi3i A 'CORRESPONDENT.) I have for the last few days heen no inattentive observer of the new Lord Chancellor. I was anx ious to watch his deportment, and see whether he would manifest any - of that: scholastic pride which Was expected from so eminent a lawyer, who had just landed amongst the " wild Irish ;" and Whether his Lordship Would assume any of the superiority of an Englishman, which was always so visible in the face of, his predecessor. lam happy to say that no= thing,like this has, nor do I think is likely to appe a l , about Sir Anthony Hart. Short a time as he has sat' upon the Chancellor's Bench he has proved him . - self a most able equity lawyer, and displayed a pro fundity of research which has astonished, as well as delighted, our most eminent practitioners : I say de lighted,"eniphatically—because Sir Anthony has, in his expositions of the, law, displayed nothing of the pedant; but, in his language to the Bar, and his manner of addressing it, he has been the complete and the elegant gentleman. A simple fact will ill lustratothe truth of what I mention. On Thursday last he was addressed by a.Mr. B—tt ; the Chan cellor fully proved that Mr. , B.'s law was obsolete ; and the inferences he was drawing even from his law erroneous. The manner in which this was done was at the same time so kind and gentlemanly, that the impression produced upon Mr. B—tt's mind w as kindness, instead of hostility ; and I heard that gen tleman in a few minutes afterwards say to Sergeant that only for the fear of having his. name brought forward as a politician, he should be most desirous to pay a public compliment to the new Lord Chancellor. The dispute between Sir' Anthony Hart and the Master of the Rolls (Sir Wm. Mqvh,.. lion), was supereminentlf ridiculous on the part of the latter. He has, hoWever, withdrawn his hos•L tility, and with that characteristic prudence which has hitherto been so serviceable to him, subinitted to the superior jurisdiction of the Chancellor. I knOw that it . he had attempted' to continue the hostility, which first originated with himself, he must have been defeated; for he would not have obtained the slightest support from the.Solicitors 3 who have been frequently displeased with him for his supercilious manner towards them. This Sir Wm. M`Mahon is certainly an , excellent equity Judge ; but not unlike' many other lawyers, he is not too partial to the Press, cad had rather not see a reporter in his Court : ,consequently they trouble him very little. Lhave just read the first' official document that has appeared from the pert of our new and most de servedly 'popular Secretary, Mr. Lambe. It is the answer of Government to the application of the, Tipperary Magistrates !Or the Insurrection Act. It is, 1 consider, a Most valuable document, and one which will certainly endear - Mr. LaMbe to every lever Of the y, and 'countr achnirerS'of the British Consti tution. It thedisplays promptness of..the present Government to use every constitutional exertion to discover the perpetrators. of crime; at the same time that it shows its unwillingness to take into its own hands any extraordinary powers, or to diminish the liberty, of the British subject. How different is its style and language from those documents that pro ceeded from Mr. L.'s predecessor, and what a for cible' illustration does it afford of the prospects of Ireland's tranquillity under the new administration. We are authortsea, to state that the Duke of WELLINGTON did not give any authority for the insertion of his 'name, as President for the time being of the Society for constructing " the Grand Imperial Canal from London to Portsmouth."—T& necessity for . making this statement has been occasioned by those who, although unauthorised, inserted the Duke of WELLINGTON'S name as a President of this Society, and have not made known to the public that the Duke did not belong to the Society after a remonstrance on the subject by his Grace.-- Courier. The Marquis of LANSDpWNE has desired hie natne'to be added to the list of Patrons and Connnittee for the approaching Theatrical representatiCnn in favour of the Spanish and Italian Refugees.., On this occasion the expenses of the undertaking will be defrayed by the Patrons and. Committee, so that the entire receipts will go to the poor Refugees. The Proprietors of the Haymarket Thea tre and English Opera-house have offered the use of those places gratuitously, and signified their readiness to promote' by all the means in their power, the object in view. Mr. Mona's, the Proprietor of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, has even desired that he may be sent for from Lewes, where he is now staying, whenever his services may be wanted.— Times. A few days ago, as a person was crossing Nun Monkton ferry, near this city, with a cow, the ani mal unfortunately plunged into the river, and also knocked overboard a poor traveller, of the name of Richardson, who was crossing . the ferry at the same time. The water was considerably above its banks, in consequence of the late heavy rains, and the situation of the man was one of 'extreme danger, but the active assistance Of Wicus, the ferryman, rescued the traveller from an impending watery grave. We understand that this is the fifth individual, within the short space of two years, whom. this ferryman has been the means of saving from drowning, when the dan gerous ferry has been flooded owing to,heavy rains.— York Herald. CULPABLE HOMICIDE.—At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, John Campbell and William Helm, masons, were brought t the bar, accused of culpable homicide, in having, on the night of the 6th August, in . a cart-shed, which forms part of the premises of JAMES HA ROlE,.farmer, Currie, wickedly and recklesly attacked and laid hold - Of ALEXANDER LAWSON', weaver, dragged him out from thence, and pushed, or with blows knocked, the said ALEXANDER LAWSON to the ground with vio lence, whereby' his skull was fractured, and in consequence of which he died immediately thereafter.

IRISH ECCENTRICITIES.—At an early hour on the morning of Monday last, it being the fair day of Toomavara, about two hundred : men of the powerful fac tion of the Rosoulties" or " Black hens," marched into that village armed with mighty clubs, there to decide an ancient quarrel With a no less powerful faction called the " Stagletons" or " Magpies." Fortunately, before the ar rival of the " Magpies," Major O'DoiconoE, with a strong party of Police, came up and arrested the ringleaders, at the same time holding the others in check. In a shin t time the " Magpies" were observed coming down towards the village in great numbers, but Major O'DoxonoE ad vanced to meet them, and having secured the leaders, lie then dispersed the factions.— Tipperary' Free Press.

A vacancy having occurred in the representation of thi, borough, by the death of the Hon. George A. W. Winn, its late member, a numerous meeting of the Freemen, re sident in London and its vicinity, took place at the Crown and Magpie Tavern, Aldgate, last night, 'to meet Quintin Dick, Esq., M.P. for Orford ; and learn that Gentleman':: intentions as to his again becoming a candidate for their re presentation. Mr. BYGRAVE was called to the Chair, and briefly an nounced the object of their assembling. After the Chairman's speech, Mr. Dm; appeared, and was received with shouts of applause. He said, that the situation in which he was placed was as unpleasant as un expected : be was now the Representative of Orford, which had placed him in Parliament, and the rejected candidate of the borough of Maldon. Before he made up his mind as to the course be would pursue, he would require a few days' consideration ; he would only ask until Thursday, when he would again have the pleasure of meeting his friends, and stating to them his determination. He felt deeply for the kindness that they had throughout shown to him ; but situated as lie was, he could not forget that be was the de pository, of the interests of others. Mr. Dick was heard with much attention, and a motion of adjournMent until Thursday next was carried. THE CHAR.—We lately copied from a West morland Journal some observations on the natural history of the Char, which is supposed to' be found in perfection only in the celebrated lakes of that county. We happen now, however, to know, that this delicate fish is abundant and excellent in Loch Leven, but is so little known than there are not more than two dealers in our market who can point it out from the trout peculiar to that lake. Nir, have seen specimens weighing not less than two pounds. .In fact, our market is often supplied with delicious anal rare kinds of fish, alike unknown to the sellers and the purchasers.—Fife Herald. - • The Bradford Workmen, listening to good c b o ee a n ns a el, nno d u it i t ie n e o, d t on la p st ai Nnday, hold F a irweather-green. The meeting Th,, h b t e, a s t had lat in the employment of Messrs. GARNETT, have not returned to their work, and it is said that they have resolved - tlt the strike against that firm shall continue till they advance the wages to the old standard. The cause of the present disagreement, which is very partial, is represented to in, to be this : in the course of the last summer, Messrs. GAR • NETT advanced - the wages of the combers to a rate some what higher than was given .by other manufacturers ; but soon after the stuff trade began to feel the usual depression of the winter, they reduced them below the present stan dard. The reduction, of course, seemed considerable; and a strike was the consequence. • This step was a: very naturl one, and we do not know that there is any cause for complain t against. the men for taking it, particularly if they can obtain better wages. Since that time MeFsrs..G. have offered the same price for combing as is pa:d by other masters, and thw v are not at present suffering from a deficiency of hands, thou`-!I many of them are new ones. In general, ice believe, tl Bradford manufacturers have treated their 'Workmen with fairness, and even with liberality. While 'the trade wis improving they gradually advanced their wages; .but when the late depression came on they were obliged to retrograde, and a reduction has taken place, within the - last six week-.,• of about one shilling and sixpence in the pound upon it 1 average of • combing, and about two shillings and six pence upon weaving. , We have no doubt, however, biht that .both the we9vers and combers will have the ad vantage of any steady improvement in trade as soon it arrives, and that their masters will endeavour to plat, their workmen in as good a state as they stood, in poiht of wages, before the memorable and lamentable turn out (.1 1825 ; but the men have good sense enough to know th:,t, this can never be attained till the masters themselves 'are placed in the same situation. We have the best authority for saying, that there is at present no kind of compact, ~s to wages, existing amongst th e m aster manufacturers o f Bradford, and their own individual interests will th ere f ore induce them, if there was no oth e r motive, to giv e th e i r work men as high a rate of wages as the state of trade w e ll admit ...Leeds Mercury. ,- P.• , 1,..,,,,,.i , . ~ • ..,' )''' ~. . •' .1"4,,14tvietgt`,*4.4.-k,r,rxiii.l2l ` • l':,l'A l ';'!! $7 , eq.,- ~, A r , --r-Irr,r.'

'The erection oldie buildings and the com pletion of the arrangements of the London 'at versity are fast advancing. We have hitherto abstained from praising the plan, or predicting the success of this institution, 'and we shall still abstain from panegyric or prediction ; but as the public have a right to expect from us a state ment of fActs on any topic of general interest, we are prepared in this case to answer the claim with pleasure. • lie employment of the word " University," though it properly describes the nature of the institution and the extent of the instruction to be communicated, introduces ideas of privilege and discipline which have no re ference to the new establishment. It professes to teach all the branches of human knowledge usually taught in universities ; but it neither pre tends to confer degrees nor to superintend private conduct like those institutions which originated in a different age, and are more intimately con nected with the Church and the State. This distinction, which should be constantly kept iit mind, accounts for . some apparent inconsistencies, and answers some of the objections which have been made to the plan. In particular, it explains why the London University provides so abims dantly for instruction in some branches of learn ing, and entirely excludes others ; why, for in stance, it has professors of modern literature, and no professor of biblical criticism or theological dogmas. The new establishment offers to teach all those sciences or branches of knowledge which people not intended flir professions can be desirous to acquire; or which pre pare professional -men for the . attainment of eminence in '-their separate lines ; but as it cannot of itself open the doors of any profession, it would be superfluous to establish a chair, which would be attended by few except those aiming at degrees which it could not con fer. If a complete establishment of theological instruction were proposed, the professors must either teach the theological system of the Church of England, or of. one of the numerous sects of Dissenters from its creed. .If the former, the Dissenters would certainly' keep away from the lectures delivered, and object to the expellee in curred ; while the members of the established church, intended for holy orders, would likewise absent himself, preferring to the instructions, of the London University the theological education of his alma mater, at which lie must graduate before he can offer himself to the Bishop as a candidate for clerical preferimint. The fulness of the provision for medical instruc tion is to be defended on the same principle as that •which excludes theology. The members of the College of Physicians must graduate in one of the universities, but.they would in vain resort to those haunts Of learning for medical instruc tion. They must, therefore, study their pro fession at a distance from the establishment which confers their degree ; and it would surely be of advantage for them to find an institution in the metropolis where all the branches of a medico}, education were taught' in a systematic manutr, and under convenient arrangements. This course of reasoning applies more forcibly to surgeons, to whom no connexion with any University is necessary, and who are consequently left free to pursue their studies, wherever they find the best professors and the greatest facilities. To them a complete establishment of medical professors under the same roof must be a great con venience, without precluding their voluntary attendance on the prelections or demonstra tions of other able and experienced instructors, who may continue their separate and independent courses at the hospitals or at their own lecture rooms. Were medical science, like theology, taught at the universities in a sufficient extent, and to sufficient numbers, or had the body of the medical profession, like the clerical order, an established creed, beyond which no inquiry was permitted, and an adherence to which was neces sary for every medical graduate, we should say that the London University, devoid as it is of powers of conferring degrees, would be as use lessly supplied with medical as theological teachers. It is plain, however, from the above statement, that this is not the case, and that as a school of medicine this new University, may expect to thrive, if proper care is taken in selecting eminent professors. To unprofessional persons of the metropolis, whose desires prompt and whose for tunes enable them to study the various br a n c h es of literature and science which the new establish ment professes to teach, it must be agreeable to, find an institution which they can attend without changing their residence, or subjectingthemelves to college discipline. But, without entering further int() the natur e of the establishment as a place for g enera l or professional education, we may m en ti on t h at t h e Council, as in duty bound, occupy their state ment with an account of the progress which the erection has made as a commercial speculation. The deed of settlement provided that the capital aiionsbf srattotihttaerudat;iiotb:a:angd that its merits fund of the University should not exceed 300,0001., divided into shares of 1001. each ; and of this sum, 150,0001., exclusive of of this dona tions, has been already subscribed. On this capital it is expected that a dividend of four per cent. may be easily raised, after setting aside a library, e i increasing s i t n o g s a e l e i anatomical c i a t l s museums existence considerable portion of the fees for the extension general attention both d at home and and uccohllebeetiionigis theof ob natural jects history. Such pretensions likely soon to be tried. WhTle i dl aprofessorsllt doingn p d op in u t la o r lera in ne E e n a g r l e and,b e can o fto Toryismre e r ita efficiency exclusive are honouring it with their abuse, we may almost say, from an article in the Austrian Observer written evidently by Mr. Gentz, that it will com mence - its operations under the patronage of Prince Metternich himself. Mr.. Gcntz, with his usual talent, denounces it to continental ap probation, as a cosmopolite and philosophical establishment, free from the antique bonds which his master has been long endeavouring, to rivet on German education. We have no doubt that the Council of the University will be duly sen sible of their good luck in having their establish ment advertised under such favourable auspices. —Times.
