Before the gathering broke up, a delegate, amid tremendous cheering, proposed that the different trades should have a dinner in the Green—each trade to have a table, but all as one company—the heavens to be their canopy.—Glasgow Herald. CLEVEDON.—A public meeting is to be held at the Hotel, Clevedon, on Wednesday the Bth of October, for the purpose of adopting measures for the erection of a pier for the use of steam-packets, &c. Should such a plan be carried into effect, it will add much to the facilities and attractions of this rapidly rising watering place.—Bristol Mercury. Some idea may be entertained of the great commu nication between persons resident in America and their con nexions in this country, when it was estimated by the clerks in the post-office that the postage upon the letters in the Ameri can post-bag, received yesterday, was upwards of 3001. Dublin Morning Register. We last week had the pleasure to announce the completion of two very handsome jugs, subscribed for by the independent constituents and admirers of Sir William Am cotts Ingilby, Bart., M. P., as a testimony of the high estima tion in which they hold the Hon. Baronet's services in their cause and the cause of his country : we at the same time sug gested the propriety of celebrating the presentation of the jugs by a public dinner at Lincoln on the 17th inst., when Sir Wil liam, who is now on a visit to his constituents, in different parts of the northern division, will be in that neighbourhood; and we are now happy in having it in our power to announce that a dinner will take place on the very day we proposed. We do not entertain the shadow of a doubt as to what the at tendance will be : sure we are it will be both numerous and respectable—in every way, worthy of the grand occasion, and calculated to cement more closely than ever the good under standing between the electors of Lindsey and their virtuous and patriotic representative.—Stamford News. IMPORTANT INVENTION:—Dr. Majendie has made a report to the Academie des Sciences upon an instru ment invented by Dr. Herisson, called the Sphygomometre, which shows the rate of the pulse, its rhythm, and anomalies. In pursuance of the conclusions of the eminent reporter, the Academy passed a vote of thanks to the author of this most Useful and ingenious discovery. Dr. Herisson has published a memoir, showing the results of his several applications of this instrument in studying the diseases of the heart. After six years of clinical researches, supported by numerous ana tomical proofs, it is found capable of distinguishing organic affections from cases which only assume the appearance of such affections. As the Sphygomometre gives the numeri cal force of the pulse, it has now become possible, according to the observations of Dr. 116risson, to prevent such attacks of apoplexy as arise from a too great determination of the blood towards the head. By this instrument, also, m ay be calculated the effect of blood-letting upon the strength of a patient. It is, therefore, a most important invention, a n d must px.ptg the attention of all persons, whether French or 4,tiers, ,14pable of appreciating its qualities....... **senor, DUBLIN, SATURDAY, OCT. 4. I have just learned that the judicial vacancy has been filled up by the appointment of Mr. Crampton in the room of the late Judge Jebb. No other change: have yet been announced ; but it is understood tha4 Mr. Greene will be the new Sergeant, and Mr. Ser geant O'Loughlin, Solicitor General. Mr. Black- burne retains his present situation of Attorney Gene. ral. It is confidently stated that not less than four o: our judges are about to retire from the Bench—tilos( named are the Chief Baron, Baron Smyth, and Judge. Vandeleur and Johnston. That old humbug Cobbett is proceeding upon hi: lecturing speculation with but indifferent success. He announced a performance (at the usual prices) at Kilkenny a few days since, but the mob broke open the doors of the Court House, and filled the lecture room on their own terms, upon which the " fine animal" declined exhibiting himself, and left town abruptly. His Grace the Duke of Wellington will this day present the new colours to his Majesty's 93d Regiment at Dover, a circumstance which that gallant corps feel to be in the highest degree complimentary. It so happens that, although the 93d have seen much service and have suffered greatly in the field of glory, they have never been under the command of the Noble Duke either in India or on the Continent. The Right Hon. the Speaker returned late on Fri day night, to Palace-yard, from Hertfordshire, where he has been on a shooting excursion, and left town early on Saturday, for Brighton. It is stated that Sir John Leach has left a very small property behind him. The amount is mentioned as less than ten thousand pounds. This circumstance, considering the amount of his income, and his mode of living, has created no small surprize, particularly amongst those who expected to be specially remembered in his will. Lord Lyndhurst will sit in the Court of Exchequer a week before Term to dispose of several remanents specially appointed. The Master of the Rolls has appointed Richard Baber Wingfield, Esq., to be Chief Secretary at the Rolls ; and J. A. Murray, Esq., to be Under Secretary and Secretary of Causes. The Lord Chancellor has again returned from Brighton, and accepted an invitation to pass the week with the Earl of Radnor at Longford Castle, near Salisbury. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Exeter is at present residing at Stokeleigh-house, in Stokenham. His Lordship preached on Sunday last at the church of that parish to a crowded congregation, and we understand intends to preach at Slapton Church on Sunday next.—Exeter Gazette. The Earl of Euston arrived in town on Saturday last from the seat of his father, the Duke of Grafton, expressly to attend the vestry for the parish of St. George, in Mount street, to be held this day upon important affairs. The Earl of Darlington is come up for the same purpose. The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury returned to town yesterday from the seat of Sir Gore Ouseley. MALTON.—The borough of Malton having be come vacant by the appointment of Sir C. C. Pepys, Master of the Rolls, it is probable the next candidate for the borough will be the new Solicitor-General, whoever he may be. The cause of the Hon. Mrs. Heneage Legge's ill ness is remaining in her wet clothes after saving a little child who had fallen into the water, which produced a low inter mittent fever, from the effects of which she is now seriously and painfully suffering. BUST OF BROUGHAM.—A marble bust of this great man has just been executed by Joseph. It is quite a speaking likeness, and gives as accurate an idea of Brougham's countenance and expression, as is conveyed by actually seeing him. We understand that it is proposed to raise a hundred guineas by subscription to purchase this work of art, and place it in the Council Chamber of this city, or in the gallery of the Scottish Academy, as a permanent memorial of our distin guished townsman.—Edinburgh Chronicle. THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR OF BRIDEWELL WESTMINSTER.—This morning a meeting of magistrates took place at the Guildhall, Westminster, relative to the election of a Governor of Tothill Fields prison, in the room of Mr. Nodder, who it will be remembered attempted to destroy him self a short time ago. The proceedings were strictly private, but we understand the business merely consisted in inspecting the testimonials of the candidates. The election will take place on Friday. It is rumoured in Dublin that Judges Vandeleur and Johnson speak of retiring from the Bench before next term, and that the Chief Baron (Joy), and Baron Smith are also desirous of retiring. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the Ramona, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom house at a quarter past twelve o'clock at noon, on the sth inst. Sir William Domville came passenger by the Ramona. The investigation into the affairs of Mr. Raikes, the late Governor of the Bank, which must necessarily be made by his creditor, is looked forward to with much curiosity in the city. The qualification for Governor is 4,0001. Bank stock, worth nearly 9,0001., and an explanation will naturally be required how a man, notoriously insolvent for some years, could contrive to hold such qualification, of whom it was pur chased in the first instance, and to whom he sold it on his re signation, which is the formal mode of disqualifying. On these points the Directors cannot decline to give information, to which their access is so easy, and which is requisite also to clear them from the charge which is current in some quarters, of having connived at the retention of so important an office by Mr. Raikes without a legal qualification. If they knew of this, which is not however to be affirmed without due investi gation, they have made themselves parties to a species of fraud on the public, and may be said to be the causes of those losses sustained by persons not in the secret, and who gave credit to Mr. Raikes entirely through their confidence in his official character. The mode of proceeding which the creditors intend to adopt has not yet transpired.—Morning Paper. The Havre Journal announces that the French Government, anticipating the death of Don Pedro, has already dispatched a mission or embassy to the Court of Portugal, again offering the Duke de Nemours as a husband for Queen Donna Maria. France is prompted to this, fearing that the death of Don Pedro will greatly depress French influence in that quarter ; and still more fearing lest any of the race of Beauharnois, attaining such an influence as the hus band of Maria da Gloria, should evince a disposition to re sent the insult offered last year to the Duke de Leichtenberg. —.Hampshire Telegraph. FIRST DIRECT IMPORTATION OF TEA INTO CLYDE.--On Monday morning the ship Mountstuart Elphin stone arrived at Port-Glasgow from Bombay, which port she left on the 9th of June. In her manifest we observe a quan tity of tea, the first of that article that has been imported direct into the Clyde. It is addressed to John Fleming, Esq., of Claremont, the owner of the vessel.—Glasgow Herald. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1834 FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—After reading several of the articles in your paper lately upon the subject of private Hutchinson, of the Guards, (who was some time since sentenced by a Court Martial of his Regiment to corporal punishment), I was certainly much amused, although not in the least surprised, to ob serve in your yesterday's paper a renewal of the attempt by yourself and some of your contemporaries to obtain a spe cies of martyr's crown for this man•! The way in which you and some others of the liberal press have taken up this man's case, and insisted upon things as " facts" which are not at all borne out, proves that you are determined that the state of the case shall be as you wish to show them, notwithstanding the facts are proved to the contrary. I am as much against unnecessary and arbitrary punish ment iu the army, and every other profession, as you or any other person can be ; but I must say I think it (in contra distinction to your argument) a bad sign of the times, that a soldier cannot be punished by a Court Martial of his Re giment, legally, and according to the Mutiny Act, for a most unmilitary and insubordinate crime, the sentence of corporal punishment having been passed upon him for that crime, and because he was PROVED beyond all doubt by the Defaulter records of the Regiment to have been a decidedly bad character, without a cry being set up instantly (and specially by those who are most clamorous against the army for their want of proper discipline!) that the man has been most inhumanly treated! and all those et cmteras of the common run of articles, headed " Barbarous military inhu manity." At all events, if this man has been ill-treated, the books of his Regiment will prove, that by some extra ordinary fatality, some one or other must have tried to get him into scrapes ever since he joined ! Who can possibly believe the nonsense he talked at the Police Office, of the cruelty of his punishment making him desert? If this is the sort of encouragement to good discipline in the army, held up by the liberal press, every rascal who ha§ got into scrapes, and finds his Regiment " too hot" for Nun, has no thing to do but to swear that he has been ill-treated--to desert—and he is then sure that some tender-hearted mor tals, and sympathising journalists, will open their mouths, and tender their offices to receive subscriptions for pur chasing his discharge ! I should like the truth to be known of how much of the money subscribed for Hutchinson has ever been applied to his discharge ? In the first place, whoever subscribed must have been perfectly ignorant of a most necessary military regulation, which has existed for many years, by which no man, of either good or bad cha racter, who enlists for an indefinite period, has a right to his discharge, by purchase or otherwise—and that by purchase has always been reserved for men of good character, to be granted as a favour ! Is it, therefore, likely that the Com mander-in-Chief would be bullied into giving it to a man who has any thing but deserved it ? It surely cannot be your object now to hold up a man as a model for soldiers, and to point him out as an ill-used man, who has positively deserted his colours. There must be laws for the army as well as any other profession or class of life ; and probably, if the man in question had committed his crime (for which he wasflogged) in time of war, he would have been shot! October 3. B. P.S.—I should not have troubled you with this letter, but I think it incumbent upon those who see what is now going on, not to allow all statements to go forth to the public without any comments. is now closing five and thirty, has but two livings, one in Kilkenny, and the other in Cavan. UNCLE GEORGE.—lchabod, Ichabod ! The Church is tumbling, and no wonder. UNCLE JACK.—Can a roof stand without walls ? UNCLE GEORGE.—Or a temple without pillars ? UNCLE JACK.—Or a Church without pluralities ? UNCLE GEORGE.—Or a Bishop without boroughs ? AMBo.—lchabod Ichabod ! The Church is tumbling, and no wonder ! MISERIES OF HUMAN LIFE. The Rev. M. Beresford has compiled, for the special use of the house and name wherein he rejoiceth, a supplemental chapter to his celebrated work on " The Miseries of Human Life." The following are ex tracts, Clerical errors excepted: they are replete with the life and " true blood of a Beresford" UNCLE GEORGE AND UNCLE JACK. UNCLE JACK—George, my dear fellow, why don't you give another living to your son and Vicar-General ? You must recollect enough of your Bible to know that "if a man provide not for his own house, he is worse than a Radical." UNCLE GEORGE—John, my dear fellow, I know allthat ; but what can a man do ? In these villainous times, one good living and a stall in a Cathedral are as much as any prudent man can give to one son. The Protestant religion is lost, indeed, when all its ministers must be working men on a couple of thousands a-year, and Gentlemen are vir tually excluded from the profession. UNCLE JACK.—You may say that, George. Bad luck to this Brougham and his Pluralities Bill, but he is a terri ble scourge to Christianity. The Times calls him a Tory, and perhaps he is so, in the same way as the Athanasian Creed is Tory ; that is to say--damnatory. UNCLE GEORGE—Aye, Jack, and predatory. I wonder does he believe in Revelation ? UNCLE JAex—l suppose not ; and, what's worse, I suspect he don't believe in Leviticus either ; for he seems to have no respect whatever for tithes. We shall never see those times again when there were three Beresfords on the Bench together. The Church is gone ! UNCLE GEORGE—AIas ! and of a truth—yes. It is worth being old to remember the days when our uncle, Lord Decies (Archbishop of Tuam), and his two nephews could rule the Board of First Fruits, and teach the Castle itself its Catechism. Then our dear uncle trained up his fine boys to be polished corners in the temple, and no im pertinent unbelieving Whigs grudged the number or variety of opportunities which he afforded them of being useful in their generation. UNCLE JACK—Then William (vide Ecclesiastical Re gister, ad vocem " the Hon. William Beresford") obtained all those handsome preferments, which while vested rights remain sacred, he will retain in spite of the Whigs, the Methodists, and the Devil. In 1808, our poor dear uncle gave Willy the Prebend of Laceagh. UNCLE GEORGE—In the same year be gave him the Union, containing only six parishes, of Tuam. UNCLE JACK—In the same year he gave him the Vi carage of Clare, Galway. UNCLE GEORGE—'Twas a year blessed to the Church: In 1809, Willy was installed at Lismore into the Prebend of Tulloghorton. The Primate granted him a faculty to hold it with his other preferments. _ _ UNCLE JACK—He hardly needed that. The faculty seems to have been born with him ; he is infinitely divisi ble, and like a polypus, each part he is cut into makes a parson per se. UNCLE GEORGE—He was his father's favourite to the last. In 1816 he gave him Cloon. How many is that ? UNCLE JoHN—Laceagh—one ; Tuarn cum socies— seven ; Clare, Galway—eight ; Tulloghorten—nine ; Cloon—ten. Decies repetita placebit. UNCLE GEORGE—Had my poor uncle lived, he might have given Willy the three livings which Archbishop Trench has given to his brother the Adjutant ; and proba bly made interest to obtain the same Adjutant Trench's Archdeaconry, and his Northern living, for two more of the children. UNCLE JACK—Poor Willy ; what an unfortunate dog he is ! But potatoes and salt were unheard of in those days, and the old man would eat turtle, venison; and lobster sallad, all at the same feast ! It's long before the old Bishop of Norwich would do that. UNCLE GEORGE—I'II warrant you ; or Whately either : now, if anything should happen to poor Willy, his prefer ments would run in gavel through the Curates ; and so the coachmakers, butlers, upholsterers, and wine-merchants be all thrown out of bread. UNCLE JACK—Just so. That is the inevitable conse quence of overunning a country with poor gentlemen. When I retired from business I thought of that, and took care of my poor tradespeople. It was a great shame not to make Willy a UNCLE GEORGE.—TruIy it was. He had so much to give up, that the Government was bound in honour to give him the mitre. But Popery was gaining ground in the Cabinet even then, when my uncle died, and therefore Willy is no more than—ten Rectors. UNCLE JACK.—Had he got his right, how many Willies might we not now have in the Church ? UNCLE GEORGE.—Ah ! (A shake of the head.) UNCLE JACK.—,-Poor dear uncle had no undue partialities. He was just to all his children, though Willy was his pet. George came in for a child's share too. UNCLE GEORGE.—Yes, and would have had more, but for his determined absenteeism. A man who lives all his days in England, cannot in decency hold more than two benefices in Ireland. Our family has been the main prop of the Church in Ireland. UNCLE JACK.-Truth. And it were ungrateful not to acknowledge that the Church has returned the compliment. What will our grandchildren think ? UNCLE GEORGE.—If they have a church at all, which I much doubt, they will think it an altered concern ; potatoes and salt, I fear, will not agree with them. It is a great misery to have preferment in your gift, and not be allowed to give it as you please. UNCLE JACK—Most tantalizing ; and a dreadful bore to be a suffragan for thirty years, without hope of being translated, unless Enoch-wise to Heaven. UNCLE GEORGE.—Faveto lingua, brother of mine : Nolo translatari. UNCLE JACK.—Poor brother Cob has suffered by the times. He is an ill-used man. UNCLE GEORGE.—Exceedingly. He has but two livings, with cure of souls, in addition to which he is only Regis trar of the Consistorial Court of Dublin. UNCLE JACK.—That's all. And his son, although he COURT CIRCULAR.

DOVER. The town of Dover, particularly that part of it in the vici nity of the pier, was thrown into a state of highly excited curiosity on Saturday by the arrival of his Excellency Namik, Pasha; General of Brigade of the Imperial Ottoman Army, Grand Envoy of the Sultan, who comes to this country on a special mission from the Ottoman Court to the Court of Lon don. His Excellency having been expected, caused the pier to be crowded long before his arrival, and amongst the anxious expectants were many very beautiful and elegantly dressed English ladies, whose hearts were beating, to use their own words, with anxiety to see the Grand Turk. At about 2 o'clock the Estafette French steam-packet, in which his Excellency was expected to arrive, was seen by the aid of telescopes in the direction of Calais, traversing her foamy way in the direction of Dover harbour. It was then high water, and the Captain of the packet was making all pos sible way with a high steam pressure, in order to get her into the harbour, aware of the rapidity with which the tide, which was on the turn, runs out, and if he could not get in before its running down, he should lie off until the next tide. Under these circumstances, the packet, towards 3 o'clock, was seen proudly rushing near and more near the port ; but the tide had then so greatly fallen that many supposed there would not be a sufficient depth of water for her to ride in. She, however, pushed her course onward with the tricoloured flag flying, and dis charging several guns of honour. His Excellency was stand ing on the fore-deck of the vessel, surrounded by five Turkish servants, all wearing the Turkish cap, and in a few moments she entered the mouth of the harbour dashingly under the British flag, which was hoisted as a mark of national respect on the occasion ; but from her having made a sweep to the right of the harbour (which abounds with shallows) instead of to the left, usually made choice of by the captains of the British packets, as the safest, sh e struc k upon a s h oa l or sand bank, and in an instant it was found that her paddles would not work, and she would remain there until the next tide. The water, flowing rapidly out of the harbour, became so shallow that the packet, from the inability to keep her afloat, reeled, as it were, on her keel, and inclining on one side, thus took her station in the sand. The dilemma was rendered the more awkward from the circumstance of the packet having struck at some distance from the landing-place, and the ad ditional one of his Excellency desiring to reach London, in connexion with his mission, with the least possible delay. Several boats put off to the vessel to render assistance, and the boatmen having lashed two of their boats together, received his Excellency's carriage, which was hoisted from the.packet into them, and conveyed it to the shore. His Excellency and attendants entered another boat, and were landed in safety. His Excellency instantly started for London, under a salute of 15 guns. His Excellency, who appears to be about 30 years of age, is about 5 feet 8 inches in height, of slender, gentle manly, and smart appearance. He wore the Turkish red cap and tassel. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. A Mr. Denvil made his appearance here last night as Shy loch in the Merchant of Venice. His voice is far from being the best that we have heard in our theatrical career. It is strong, but harsh ; and wants that roundness which causes passages, even the most violent, t o f a ll not un h armon i ous l y on the ear. His action is generally t em p era te, b u t somet i mes, like his declamation, it runs beyond nature. As a whole, Mr. Denvil's Shylock deserves praise —many parts of it great praise ; but assuredly those were not the parts which were most loudly applauded. His opening scene was thoughtful, and calm, and quiet, in the early part ; but, when he came to the description of the wrongs which he had received at the hands of Antonio, he raved, and totally forgot the character. The fine scene in the third act, where the flight of his daughter and the loss of his wealth almost madden Shylock, was greatly overacted by Mr. Denvil. Yet, even here, we observed some redeeming qualities. In a few instances, his feeling was that of humanity, he ceased to be a demon; as, for instance, when he summed up the long catalogue of ills with which Antonio had persecuted him ; and in answer to the query, why is this ? says, in a tone of deep heart-rending earnestness—" because I am a Jew !" This was really fine, but the rant-and-roar gen tlemen did not understand it. The trial scene was on the whole well acted, if not greatly acted. We have only one other observation to make, and that is, that almost throughout the play Mr. Denvil forgot the age, or the conventional age, of the Jew. His reception was very gracious ; with care he will in our opinion become a justly popular actor. He still, however, to use an old expression, has mueh to learn, and, what is more difficult to achieve, not a little to unlearn. Miss E. Tree appeared as Portia. In the comic part of the cha racter she was agreeably animated ; but, as the " Daniel come to judgment," she lacked forensic power. Antonio says that his part is a " sad one," and Mr. Warde played it accordingly. Mr. Cooper's Bassanio was not deficient in spirit. Gratiano was represented in a gay and pleasant style by Mr. Lee, who has recently returned to this theatre. Mr. Sinclair, as Lo renzo, gave Mr. T. Cooke's beautiful serenade, " The night invites to love," with more strength of lungs than delicacy of taste. The ungentle Jessica, who, merely from a love of Christianity, robs and abandons her father, was personated by Mrs. Crouch. This lady did her best (and succeeded) in rendering unharmonious two of Bishop's best compositions. Young Master Launcelot was right well played by Mr. Harley. ADELPHI. A new burlesque was produced at this house last night. The piece is entitled The Kitchen Sylph, and, as its name imports, is a burlesque on the opera of The Mountain Sylph, which has recently acquired deserved popularity. To describe the plot of a burlesque, the actors in which do little more than come at one side of the stage, and run off at the other ; knock off each other's wigs, and then look as if they had done some thing exceedingly meritorious and uncommonly droll, would be rather a difficult task. We will, however, attempt to re count the leading incidents of this precious production : Betty, a housemaid in a Scotch Gentleman's family (Mrs. Keeley), like the betrothed of the immortal Giles Scroggins, of facetious memory, " dreams a dream." Having indulged rather too freely in spirits before composing herself for a nap, she imagines herself pursued by a congenial spirit, in the shape of a corpulent Scotch Highlander with wings. This super natural being is the Sylph, enacted by Mr. John Reeve, who appears at the window, and disappears up the kitchen ,4 • seated on the hob, and purlqiti§ a insr”;-- --age contract, and flirts about in happy imitation of Taglioni or Miss Romer. The dis covery of the flirtation between the cook and her aerie/ lover, rouses the jealousy of John the Footman (Mr. 0. Smith) to whom she about to be united. He applies to Nibblefee, (Mr. S. Smith), a certain gentleman in black in the disguise of a law yer, who, being President of a Temperance Society, and strongly opposed to spirits of every description, readily yields him assistance. By his advice John is induced to present his faithless fair one with " a charming boa," informing her that it possesses the magical property of securing the constancy of her wayward admirer, Cognac. He throws it round the neck of the spirit ; he faints, and is immediately diluted by a couple of watermen, who deprive him of his strength by throwing over him the contents of a couple of buckets. Betty faints, screams, wakes, and discovers that instead of hearing all the nonsense that has been uttered in the course of the last half-hour, she has been dreaming. The audience sincerely wish that they had been equally fortunate, and the piece terminates with a general reel by the characters. Mrs. Keeley played as well as she could in such a part, and Mr. Reeve did all in his power for the success of the piece. He only did, however, what he has already done again and again usque ad nauseam in Cupid ; and it really is rather too much to sit out a second absurdity possessing no other claims to success than caricature dancing, however excellent, or face-making, however humourous. The entertainments commenced with the Black Hand, which has been curtailed, and so far improved.. They concluded with the Chain of Gold, which went off better, if possible, than on the first representation. ENGLISH OPERA HO USE. The Opera of The Mountain Sylph attained its thirty-se venth representation last evening, and the enthusiasm of the audience still appears unabated. The degree of perfection which the principal performers have now arrived at in their re spective parts would scarcely be credited by the individual who witnessed its first production. The melo-dramatic Opera, as it is called, of Lo Zingaro was produced principally, we pre sume, to introduce a new aspirant for the honours of diablerie to the London boards as the hero. Mr. M'lan, or as we be lieve he was•appropriately called in the Bath theatre, " San guinary Jones" has considerable claims upon the 0. Smith line of business. He is very active, and his action is forcible and expressive. Like all the heroes of serious pantomime he has no voice ; that is, his speaking qualifications are of a nega tive character. Mr. M‘lan was much applauded, and his tact entitled him to the compliment. We hope to see more of him, but we must protest against the vehemency of his declamation. The Baron Marialva of Ferkins was a clever piece of acting, and the singing of Mr. T. Millar and Mrs. Waylett, as the lovers, did justice to the very pretty music of A. Lee. SURREY. This theatre commenced its season, under the management of Mr. Davidge, last evening. During the short recess it has undergone considerable alteration, and a new decoration in a style the principal features of which are neatness and sim plicity. The performances selected for the opening were Monk Lewis's tragedy of Adelgitha, the amusing drama of 102 ; or, the Veteran and his Progeny (in which the new lessee most ably personated the veteran), and a melodrame, founded on the work called " The Memoirs of the Duchess of Berri, or the Carlists of La Vendee." Of this last affair we can only say that while it does not provoke censure it possesses not one feature entitling it to praise. Miss Watson personated the Duchess. We must, in justice to Mr. Davidge, say that his general company is far superior to that for which the Surrey has been hitherto known, including several established favourites and new aspirants with some pretensions. The house was extremely well attended, and nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which Mr. Davidge was received on his appearance. VICTORIA. The fame of the " Hibernian Roscius," Master Brooke, aged fourteen, as announced in the bills, but whom we should take to be two years older, induced us to pay a visit to this house last night, for the express purpose of seeing his Virginius. The public will naturally conclude, as we did, that to attempt such a character with an unshorn chin is a more conclusive proof of Master Brooke's youthfulness, than were the Manager to produce the solemn attestation of the young gentleman's supporters at the baptismal font, or the copy of the registra tion of his birth, extracted from the blank leaf in an old family bible ; but, like us, the same public would change its opinion had it occupied a seat in the Victoria last night. If there were moments during his performance of this very difficult character, in which his audience had their deeper feelings shocked by the unexpected ludicrous ness of associations, the defect was one which no degree of excellence on his part could remedy. Thus the recital of his parental recollections, during his touching interview with his daughter before he leads her to the forum, has an unpleas ing effect, coming as it does from the mouth of a very youth, who* only claim to manhood is the precocity of his talents ; though at the same time it ought to be mentioned, that his imi "teflon of the working of passions peculiar to man in an ad vanced state of life, would be thought not unworthy actors t high repute, whose age would render the right entertainment of a father's feelings at least probable. There was less of the school-boy in Master Brooke's performance than we ever witnessed in the acting of an youth of his years. He rants a little too much at first, and in the scene where Virginius vows the downfall of the tyrant, and sup_ plicates his friends to join him in delivering his coun try, he wants collectedness, firmness, and that fulness of high and holy feeling which ever lights the countenance and raises the bosom of the stern patriot. In all he is but the father, and in all he only seeks revenge for a wrong of the extent of which he is then ignorant. This is evidently, in so far, a misconception of the character; for Virginius had resolved upon the downfall of Appius Claudius before any attempt was made to violate the sanctity of his household gods, or pollute the person of his daughter. The dungeon scene was gone through much more to our satisfaction. The extreme youth fulness of the principal performer considered, it was all .but perfect. We confess, much as we were pleased with the appearance of Virginius in the first act, we were not prepared for any thing equal to the masterly impersonation of the maniac kneeling on the dead body of Claudius. The glimpse of reason which led to the strangling of the tyrant is gone, and with it the passions by which it was directed, and the unhappy father is seen kneeling on the breast of his de ceased enemy, perfectly unconscious of where he is, or what has happened. We repeat, that this part of the performance astonished us, from the very extent to which it surpassed our. expectations. The great fault in Master Brooke's acting is a want of consistency with itself. He also makes too frequent use of his hands, though his action is generally graceful, and his demeanour modest and respectful, yet firm and self-assured. But he has much to learn and to study, if he would preserve a reputation which it might be dangerous for him to regard, as resting more on the intrinsic merits of his acting than on the predisposition of the public to be pleased with the efforts of so youthful an aspirant for histrionic fame. Neither ought he to be ambitious of appearing in characters unsut-Li e to his years--an ambition which has been the b ang : of all the juvenile Rosciuses that preceded him, by tb.. acquirement of bad habits, and an indocility of disuot ion arising gence. The man hewn-- enraged on sing from early du - discovering that the applauded acting o 1 the boy is not attended to, or if the con trary, witnessed with indifference or disgust, and immediately begins to rail against the public taste, forgetful, all the time, he, and not the public, is chang e d. We congratulate the manager on the changes which he has made in the interior arrangements of this house, almost as much as we do on the strength of his company. The concen tration of the lights in the centre of the house, the tier of boxes in the rear of the dress circle, the glass curtain, and in short the whole appearance of the house has a very novel im proved look, in which an air of roominess and comfort is added to pleasure and admiration. We wish the manager all success. FITZROY. This Theatre opened last night upon its winter campaign. The house has been painted, gilded, and newly decorated ; and whilst the prices of admission and the adaptation of general conveniences must suit the public in one sense, the stage per formance will elicit approbation in another. The activity and spirit of the theatre were evinced last night in three successful new productions, upon which we have only to enter our pro test against some indelicate double entendres in th Fancy Fair, and against the general length of the entertainments through out the evening. The piece that attracted most applause was a melo-dramatising of the reign of Nero, which, although not historically correct, was made to produce many fine scenes and actions favourable to stage effect. We should notice as pecu liarly deserving of favour the banquet of Nero, where the fountains poured forth the purple stream of wine, and the gla diatorship, which, with the exception of some extravagant sword-playing, was almost the best we ever witnessed. This Theatre is well adapted to gratify youth. ROYAL PAVILION. The play of the Stranger was produced here last night, for the purpose of introducing Mrs. W. West to an Oriental audi ence, in the character of Mrs. Haller—and the purpose of the manager was answered, for it drew a crowded house. Cob ham personated the Stranger with much feeling and discri mination, and was frequently applauded. Forde played Stein fort ; but we saw nothing of the Steinfort we were wont to see. Saker and Graham, as Solomon and Peter, were re spectable—and this is saying a great deal in their behalf, as these characters are too often caricatured. After the play, Miss Forde sang the ballad of " Kate Kearney " most delight.. fully, and was rupturously encored. Lord Viscount Ebrington has left Castle-Hill, for Summerville, near Waterford, on his annual visit to his Irish tenantry—North Devon Advertiser. Incendiarism has again made i t s appearance i n the hundred of L aun di tc h. Monday night a fire broke out in the large home barn in the occupation of Mr. Rix, at Pittles-hall, containing about 20 sacks of wheat and barley which were entirely consumed, little but the bare walls escaping. This is the second incendiary fire on the above property, which belonged to T. W. Coke, Esq. --Norwich Mercury. COMMERCIAL WISDOM.—A specimen of the wis dom of the French anti-free-trade system has just been men tioned to us by a steam-engine maker of eminence in York shire, who has recently returned from France, where he has been employed in setting to work some of the steam-engines constructed by his firm. According to this gentleman's state ment, a pair of steam-engines of a given power, made in Eng. land, cost 8001., while a pair made in France, of the same power, cost 1,400/. ; but the French laws, in their great wis dom, impose a duty of aoat upon the importation 6f the Eng lish engines, and in that way raise the nice, with the carriage and cost of travelling to set " them cost mad. -- em up to wo rk,Qo as to make eno4”-- atm" e much to the French manufacturer as the sof his own privileged engine makers.

A sculler's wager took place yesterday afternoon between Deaf Burke the pugilist and George Shepherd, better known as Barney Shepherd, of Chelsea, for 101. aside. The distance contested was from Westminster Bridge through the centre arch of Battersea. Bridge, and to finish the heat by returning to the Red House. The match was of but little or no importance, but the canaille mustered strong upon the occasion. The match had been made about a month since, when advantage was taken by Burke, who rowed the distance, his opponent forfeiting his stakes in consequenee of not being pre sent at the precise time. At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon the men took their stations at Westminster Bridge. Burke was off first, and Shepherd close on his quarter. In this situation they continued until after passing through Vauxhall Bridge, Burke picking him up whenever an opportunity presented itself. At the Red House a cutter passed between' the boats, and Shepherd, who had been laying by, rowed away from his opponent in style, and won the match comfortably, gradually gaining ground upon his opponent, and coming in at the Red House before his opponent was visible. HALLEY'S COMET.—Some persons have as- . cribed the peculiar character of our last summer to the influ ence of Halley's comet, which will appear at the commence ment of November, 1835. M. Bogus Lawisky has inserted in the Breslau Gazette an article in which he shows the absur dity of this opinion. At the commencement of June the comet was at 125 millions of miles beyond the sun, arid conse quently at 145 millio ns o f miles from the earth. A t no former period of its app earance , e v en in 1759, w as any chan ge o f temp perature remarked.—Morning Paper. A great benefit has been conferred on the jutaor officers in the Navy by the publication of : a The Naval Offi cer ' s B n," a work which has long Guide for Preparing Ships for nautical affairs. This produc been a desideratum to tyros 7enced seaman, who has consequently tion of an old and exper had every opportwf ity b of acquainting himself with the subject on w hi ? ll 'treats, contains a full and accurate descripion of the 7arious modes of fitting and preparing a ship's rigging, &c. ; and affording as it does, so much information on a sub ject so necessary to the proper equipment of a ship, we predict, will meet with the success it so richly deserves.
