We refer I to the subject again on this account, and should be happy if we had any information of value on this important subject to lay before our readers. In fact, manufacturing industry, as it continu ally evolves new trades, is an ever new subject, and neither its advantages nor disadvantages are accurately known. It has been treated, too, when examined and discussed, in the spirit of partizanship. Factory Committees and Truck Committees have looked only at one narrow point, and the whole has been condemned on very partial evidence. Dr. ÜBE and Dr. TAYLOR, though his notes form an instructive and valuable book, we regret to say have both exhibited a partizan spirit, and make us suspect that they have a purpose in view beyond establishing the truth. All parties, as far as we are aware, have failed to separate what is essential from what is accidental to manufacturing industry, which has there been made to bear the blame which pro perly belongs to a totally different system. For example, it is well known that manufac turing industry m Switzerland is attended with none of the disadvantages.which accompany it in England. The reason of the difference is to be found, we believe, in the prior condition of the people, the different distribution of property which prevails in the two countries, and the legislation on food, which is a subject only indi rectly connected with manufacturing industry. We shall advert at present only to the prior con dition of the people. Our manufacturing districts are filled with Irish, and the •descendants of Irish, and the wretched prior condition of these people who itn ported their habits and manners into Liverpool and Manchester, is the main cause of the wretched condition of the manufacturing popu lation. Their competition with other labourers necessarily tended to degrade all to their standard. Nor was the prior condition of the agricultural labourers of England much better. It is re corded, said Sir J. GRAHAM on June 17, "that in the workhouses in Bedfordshire there were fifty or sixty able-bodied men in close confinement, desiring labour but obtaining none ; and even in Sussex, what was the state of the labouring classes there ? Why, that they were working in gravel-pits, dragging their trucks like beasts of burden." Some of these men,:aceustoined to live in workhouses, and drag trucks like beasts of burden, migrated, as is well known, to the manufacturing districts, and carried their habits with them. They improved there, as Sir JAMES GRAHAM also stated : It was at a very considerable time after that the migration which has been spoken of took plty.,.e. He said it was at a period of unexampled prosperity in the manu facturing districts. 1)r. Kay had himself an opportunity of observing in the manufacturing districts the improved condition of these people. For a time they worked well, they shared the prosperity of the district, they were faith ful, and their condition was changed to this state from a state of oppression under which they had suffered in the agricultural districts, where the system of roundsrnen pre vailed, where they worked, not according to their own wishes, but were reduced to take what they could get. They changed their former unhappy condition for several years of prosperity while the season of manufacturing prosperity continued ; they had their cottages, and ample wages ; they subsisted in comfort; and it was not until the unhappy revulsion which occurred in those districts, that they were reduced once again to reap the fruits of comparative misery. Our manufacturing industry, then, or factory system, found men " suffering under oppression in the agricultural districts of both England and Ireland, obliged to take what they could get, and glad to take the much better wages, though still low, which.were offered them in the manufac turing districts." Now, when the factory owners could obtain the services of the landlords' slaves for very little more than the landlords gave them, why should they give a greater sum ? The com petition of the labourers to get the good work and wages they offered, would not allow them to give more, and thus it was the prior condition of the - agricultural labourers in England and Ireland, which determined, in a great measure, the wages in the manufacturing districts, and gave into the hands of the factory owners a mass of helpless labourers entirely dependent on their will. They have not treated them, probably; any better than the landlords, Thus the degradation of the masses in the manu facturing districts is not the consequence of the species of industry there practised, but of the previcins'ConditiOn'of those who lived in a state of oppression in the agricultural districts. Remembering what. the Irish are at home, and remembering, too, what the English agricul tural labourers are, we apprehend that there must be something morally wholesome in manufacturing 'industry, after all the revulsions inflicted on it by legislation, to have saved these people from destruction, and even to have ele vated them and improved their condition. It is proved, beyond a doubt, that the manufacturing population, recruited, as it has been, from the English and Irish peasantry, is now far above the level of either. We have said enough, we believe, to show, which is all we aim at, that the subject of ma nufacturing industry requires a much more ex tensive investigation than it has yet received, to enable the public to form a correct opinion of that peculiar, and, we think, most suspicious, part of our social condition. By the Bland, which left the Cape of Good Hope on the 30th of June, and arrived at Liverpool on Friday, the lbllowing intelligence has reached us:— "On Saturday evening, the 27th of June, an anonymous dispatch was received in Cape Town from Port Natal, via Graham's Town, stating that Captain Smrrx's party had been it off to a man, and that the Boers had taken possession of the two schooners then lying in the Bay with stores, &c., viz.—the Mazeppa and Louisa, and some fears were apprehended for the Couch, then on her way with a small number of troops from Port Elizabeth. " Her MAJESTY'S ship Isis sailed from Simon's Bay the 28th June for Port Natal, and report said • that the Fly and Bramble Were to follow immediately. " A person who was supercargo of a Dutch schooner in Natal, some time ago, suPposed to have been instigating the Boers to rebellion, is now in prison in Cape Town." It will be seen that this unpleasant intelligence rests on no official or even sufficient authority. At the same time the circumstances in which Captain SMITH'S party was placed render it, we regret to say, only too probable. We learn from the Derby Reporter, that a deputation frem six hundred of the municipal electors had an interview with the Mayor and Magistrates of that borough on Wednesday, rela tive to the suppression of Mr. VINCENT'S lecture in the theatre, and arc happy to state that the proceedings which took place at the meeting are highly creditable to both parti es . Th e e l ectors, w h o, front SOlll9 cause or another, were prevented front assembling in the theatre, naturally supposed that the police would not have pulled down the expelled them from the theatre, and committed some other acts of rather a strong character, without the sanction of the civic authorities ; and with becoming spirit, therefore, resolved to ascertain from the Magistrates themselves the real merits of the case. The interview was willingly granted, and an ample explanation given by Mr. D. Fox, fur the rest of the body. This explanation a reve rend gentleman,. who spoke for the deputation, considered satisfactory, and, before taking leave, interview, r o i r d e, (a o d n d ly re t s o si t n i g la t n i kte Mayor), I you, and the Magistrates have now, ge nerally,there- fore, f or your cordial acquiescence in our wish for this and for the liberal and courteous manner in which we have been re ceived." Now, without any wish to blame any party, we think the misunderstanding might have been avoided altogether, had not the individual Magistrate alluded to in the address at the very outset retnsed to hear any explana tion whatever. He could have stated then wh a t was-fully brought out at the interview, that the handbills had been pulled down without their knowledge; that they had n o w i sh to i nterfere with hiwitrl-Ohcr regtthuate exercise of the LONDON : MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1842. .We showed, on Saturday, that agriculture cannot possibly employ an increasing population. We showed, that the more knowledge is brought to bear on it, the fewer hands are required to obtain equal quantities of food. We remarked, too, that employment of fewer and fewer hands in agriculture had been in progress from the beginning of civilization. We may add, that every person acquainted with the subject knows that thrashing-mills, moved by water, and vari ous • other contrivances for diminishing labour, arc in use in Scotland—that fewer hands, in pro portion, are employed in agriculture there than in England—and that English farmers, to be able to compete with Scotch farmers, must adopt their methods, which will make still fewer hands be required in England to produce the raw material of our food. Some persons may run away with the notion that more land may be brought into cultivation, and that thereby more hands may be employed ; but in the present condition of society, nothing of the kind will, or can be done, on an extensive 6cale, except it. be profitable fur the capitalist, after paying all charges. Now at present, with the mere show of one good harvest, the price of Ivheat is down to a mere remunerative price. TO cultivate land that has never yet been I,lt)ughed, except it be the parks or . the nobility, will cost more than to cultivate the land at present under the plough. But when the price pl. corn does not more than pay that cost, when -it iyonly necessary to have two or three successive liarve , :its to involve the farmer in distress, when improvements going forward tend 1:to 'inCrease the supply and lower the price, it .teems to tbs- clear that the first and indispensable -'condition'' to bringing more land under cultiVa- with., a profit, and employing an increased • umber of hands in agriculture, is to increase the • utralre' r of the customers of the agriculturists. In iithert words, to make it profitable to bring waste :;41idinto Cultivation, the commercial and mann pOpulation of the empire must increase. 'e• fts" agriculture can find any additional ern- Altttntrfor our increasing population, there '-'llure-rele Manufacturing population must be ern -. ,ploYe4 as augmented. We need not, to confirm thi 4- view, - remind our readers of the great exten sion of agriculture in consequence of the increase of the manufacturing population; but we will be . bold. to say, that this has done more to improve and extend agriculture than all the Acts of Par liament that ever-voe re made, and than all the agricultural societies" that ever existed. All other stimuli to production united, are as no thing compared to an increasing demand. All these are plain matter s o f fact, and we might suppose that the stat esmen and public writers of England, knowing, as they must, the tendency of populationto incre ase , and that the condition of society is only healthy wheno lation call find room to increase, should have Pll- been filled with unsreakable gratitud e to athe Giver of all Good, for bestowing on Englaud, by her manufacturing skill, the means of providiu, 'mployment for an ever increasing number of !people. We might suppose, had not facts con , 'Pieced us of the contrary, that our statesmen iiOnTd 'embrace every opportunity to extend ma ..., .Mi4cturing industry; that far from laying obsta tz.ks of any kind in its path, they would be as tar.a . ul as a mother with her infant who is just bcg,hming to walk, to remove every one out of its way. We might suppose that the landowners in particular should be exceedingly desirous of promoting and extending a species of industry which at once increases the number of their cus . touters, and finds profitable employment fi,r the surplus hands on their estates, and when we find public writers and statesmen, and find landown ,, .. ers in particular, endeavouring to check the in .crease-of manufactures, their folly seems to us to _amount to.absolute fatuity.

This communication certainly was not imperative on the part of the authorities, as meetings are often held in theatres for other purposes than dramatic or musical performances, without the infliction of penalties; but it is only justice to say that their interference was an act of kindness towards the proprietor. An information would probably have been laid against him by some parties who cannot see " the necessity and safety. of extend ing political power to all classes," and the full penalty would have been entbrced. This interview has also been of use in another resriet, as it will not a little mortify those Tory journalists who justified the Magis trates of Derby for conduct which they disown, and who would re-establish a system of coercion and tyranny fatal to the most valuable rights and privileges of the people. They disown all such doctrines, as may be learned from the following liberal sentiments expressed by Mr. good investment; in the first instance they obtained from them goodwill and commercial privileges. "The event not having answered their expectations, they have been claiming in vain for these fifteen years the payment of the sums which they lent. The Sultan answers that he is not personally bound; the Governor of'rripoli declaring that he is not answerable for the debts of his predecessors. The Porte has now determined to offer to the creditors of Tripoli the cession of the estates of the Caramanli. As land is of no value in the Regency of Tripoli, the VieditorS refusedthis pay ment in kind; but the English Government, under the pretext of watching over the interests of its ,sub jects, is going to indemnify the merchants who ad vanced the money, and to take for itself the immense possessions of the Caramanli. It will distribute them among Maltese cultivators, of whom it will form a colony in the heart of the Regency. Then, to con nect this colony with Malta, it will erect a fort in the Gulf of Bengari, and in which it will soon place some cannon.

The Bankers' Circular, published to-day, says : " The state of money is re markable, and, in th e p o i n t s of low val ue an d su p era bundance of " gold in the Bank will soon, we think, get into an unprecedented state, if it be not so already. The Bank has tried to renovate by advancing sums of money to Railway and Canal Companies, but confidence in, t ra di ng affairs does not' m a t e rially revive, and consequently, so far no additional amount of bills are seen in circu lation. After all the tampering with this critical 'matter, we are apprehensive of having to witness holders of floating money seeking public securities, and shrinking from private. The leading bill-brokers have this week dropped the rate of deposit-money to 2 per cent., and there are instances where they refuse to some of their old customers to allow any interest whatever.

To those at all acquainted with the subject, this fact will at once convey an adequate impression of the dreadfully depressed state of the haadloom weaving of this district, a branch of manufactures, which, at one period, was the source of much prosperity and enjoyment to hundreds of families, and the means of opulence to many.

KENDAL TRADE.—The appearances of improvement here are by no means satisfactory. In the woollen trade there is a better d eman d; indeed, the low price of this description of goods is sufficient to tempt buyers. In the linsey trade there are as yet no very favourable prognostications; the manufacturers appear operating as if they did not anticipate more orders than the next three months can corora et „ The fine trade is also gloomy.

Fox:— " As far as the law directed them, he was sure the Magistrates for this borough would discharge their duty ; and he could also say on behalf of himself and brother Magistrates, that the constitutional privileges of the people would not be improperly interfered with by them. They had no desire to stretch the law; and : while on the one hand they would never shrink from their duty as Magistrates in vindicating the law, they would, on the other hand, consider - .. it beyond their duty to interfere with the legitimate exercise of free discussion. He repeated, that in what haul taken place the Magistrates did .not intend to stoplhe meeting,-and that they had been actuated by nu unkindly feeling." The progress of Puseyism, which has alarmed so many of the Bishops, brings spiritual comfort and heavenly joy to the Bishop of SALISBURY. That Right Reverend Father in GOD rejoices at the Catholic appearance which his diocese is as suming, owing to the avidity with which his clergy have adopted the doctrines of Dr. PUSEY and Mr. NEwmAx. In a Charge just delivered by him to the Clergy of the Eastern Division of his diocese, at Marlborough, his Lordship said:— Three years ago he expressed a hope that, whatever contrariety of opinion might exist as to this great theological movement, it would nevertheless- tend, in its result, to illustrate the truth, and confirm the prin ciples of the Church ; nor had he yet seen sufficient reason to change his sentiments. Believing this, and that the holy and learned men with whom this movement originated had no object in view but to bring forward truths, that had fallen into comparative neglect, he could not but regret the harsh treatment they had met with from their opponents. He could not refuse to ac knowledge that they had raised a higher standard of ministerial character, through the Apostles, to our Lord himself ; they had pointed out the obligations of a more orderly observance of the laws and regulations of the Church—had successfully taught the nature and constitution of the Church, where lax notions were before far too prevalent—had restored to the sacra ments their due measure of spiritual influence as the channels of grace, where, in many cases, they were considered mere signs and symbols—and they had warned men not to rest contented with any measure of zeal, but to go on, encouraged by, the blessing of their Master, in a constant course of devotion and self-denial. This is as flattering to Dr. PUSEY as that very learned Divine could desire. The Bishop had previously borne the following testimony to the influence of Puseyite principles upon the reli gious practices of the clergy and people of his diocese : In many of the churches the more important holy days, appointed by the Rubric, were reveren tiallyobserved; and in others, the services for the saints' days carefully solemnised; a practice that he trusted would, ere long, be universal. On some of these points he had abstained from giving any opi nion, wishing rather that attention to them should be the spontaneous act of the clergy than the effect of any suggestion of his. He rejoiced that the Church was calling out an increased amount of religious ser vices, and Was learning to value more highly her privileges. True, these were forms, and they might be separated from the spirit which was necessary to animate them, in which case the " Sabbath lost its savour ; " but where they were observed with a be coming dependence upon the Divine guidance, _ they became the savour of life unto life. The plain English of all this is, that the clergy of Salisbury, with their Bishop at their head, are posting to Rome as fast as they can gallop Saints' days observances will bring saints' wor ship in their train as an inevitable necessity, and thus, by little and little, the foundations of the Church of England will be completely under mined. This is the real aim of the Puseyites. The Eastern question is the leading topic in the French journals of Thursday, the whole of which we have received. The National calls for the intervention of France in Syria without the concurrence of England or any of the other Great Powers. " The present crisis," says the Republican organ, " is particularly favourable for acting, and acting by ourselves. By her hypocrisy in 1840 England has virtually abdi cated the right of interfering in Syria even by simple representations. It is the same with Austria. She participated in the criminal vio lance of England, and she now experiences the same moral impossibilities. France alone re mains; and she, in Cie midst of all the weakness of her Government, has never gone so far as to imagine that every thing was to be sacrificed for the maintenance of the pretended integrity and problematical independence of the Ottoman Empire. When she abandoned MEHEMET Au, she did not give up the cause of the Syrians. The tradition of ages presents to the eyes of the Christians of the Libanus the country of PHILIPPE AUGUSTUS and of BUONAPARTE as their natural protectress. This tradition still exists, and it is the name of France that is in voked by the unfortunate victims of OMEIi. PACHA'S satellites. The Government cannot be deaf to this cry, nor refuse to do for Syria what the restoration has done for the Greeks. It belongs to France to exercise the same protec tion over the Christian populations of Syria as Russia extends over the principalities of the Danube. France is entitled to this, and the violence committed against her subjects affords her a fitting occasion. In demanding the per •sonal reparation which is her due, she can also .demand guarantees for the future. Our griev ances and those of Syria spring from the same source, and Turkey owes them both a common reparation. ' It is -the duty of the French Go vernment to obtain it, and to regain by the events which now present themselves the posi tion it has lost." This logic may do in France, but it will not serve in England. •It was Great Britain, and not France, thi.t in 1840 guaranteed to the Chris tians of Syria the enjoyment of their privileges ; nor can she shake 'off the ob: .e ig sp at e i c o t n to compel the Porte, if necessary, to them. The single interference. of .France is, therefore, out of the question. Silo 'could not, if she would, act independently of England; and, therefore, her m Ciovern ent acts most wisely in co-operating cordially with us. To talk of maintainin g a policy of isolation is sheer nonsense. And yet, rather than concur with England, the war fac tion in France, with M. TRIERS anelcOmuni BARROT at their head, would contentedly see the Libanus in flames. There is no political news of much importance in the French Journals. We, however, subjoin extracts from them : The Bulletin des Lois publishes an ordinance granting a supplementary credit of 20 millions of francs for the expenses of the army of Africa. We have received the following- letter from Tripoli, in Bombay, dated Aug. 23 :—" The English make a great noise about certain sums which they affirm to be due to them from the Regency of Tripoli, and the Government of Great Britain lets them clamour, be cause it intends to take advantage of the demands of its subjects, in order to obtain a tooting at Bergari. At the time of the Greek insurrection, the Sultan m y. tired reinforcements and money of the Barbary States ; Algiers, and Tunis furnished some men-of war ; the Governor of Tripoli, who held his authority from the Porte itself, acted on this 'occasion as if he were independent, for the title of.i'acha of this Re gency was nearly hereditary in the family of Cara inanli, and he furnished - ships, some hundred men, and sor 600,000 piastres. In order to: do this he con tracted loans ; the English residents lent money to the Pacha to combat the Greeks, whom the English Go vernment protected they_ thou 'ht they had. _.ulade,a. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND fOubitt eptitton. " Who runs may read." FO] zzorc. The affairs of the East continue to be a favourite topic with the Paris Journals, particularly those of the Opposition. The National has an article in which it recommends that France should interfere on behalf of the Christians of Syria, but that it should do so alone. Our Contemporary attempts to set up an argu ment establishing the right of the French to this posi tion, and takes no small pains to excite the nation against its rules s for having submitted to what the National chooses to call degradation and shame. It is not very probable that the National will find many converts to its mode of reasoning amongst persons wht) have any desire to see the French Government observe good faith as regards the joint engagements into which it has entered for the pacification ofthe East. The Courrier Francais improves upon the argu ment of the National. It first assumes for France an exclusive right of intervention, which has never been claimed, but which, if it had been claimed, is now an nulled by the treaty of July 15, to which France is a party, and then proceeds to contend that the inter vention which the Five Powers may consider neces sary will be an outrage upon Turkish rights, whereas, if attempted by France alone, it would be agreeable to those against whom it should be directed, and those whom it would be intended to serve. This, we con fess, is a logic which we do not understand. One of the journals having stated that the popula tion of Syria. amounted to 2,800,000, of whom 800000 were Christians, the Quotidienne gives as positive the population at only 1,200,000, of whom 300,000 are Christians. The number of Jews is stated at from 8 to 10,000. The Moniteur publishes an order of the day of General Bugeaud, reproving the conduct of the non commissioned officers of the 3d Battalion of Chasseurs, for having published in the Sentinelle de l' Armee an account of the operations of that corps, in which their exploits were strangely ,overrated, and condemning M. Emery, the sergeant, Ns ho drew up the account, to two months' imprisonment in the fort of the Emperor, and the others to fifteen days of the same penalty, and to be suspended from their functions during a month. The Presse announced on Tuesday that the rail road between Paris and Lille had been conceded to a company represented by Messrs. Millet and Henri, and mostly composed of English capitalists, - and that the treaty had even been signed .-by the nister of Public Works. . The Moniteur of Wednesday declares this statement to be altogether incorrect. A private letter from Frankfort of the Ist inst. states that the King of Hanover had followed the example of the ex-King of the Netherlands, and mar ried, towards the close of last month, the widow of President Beulwitz. His Majesty left, immediately after the celebration of the marriage, for the Prussian camp of manoeuvres. The Chamber of Deputies of Baden adopted on the 2 . 0,.„:a motion of M. Sander, who proposed that the Government should be invited to interfere with the Germanic Diet, in order to obtain a further ex tension of the liberty of the press. We learn from Vienna that the Emperor of Austria has made an advance of 200,000 florins (500,000 fr.) to the town of Steyer, towards repairing the losses occasioned by the late fire at that place. IVZONEY—TRADE—COMMER.CE. At Manchester a few snore hands have returned to work, but this is more than balanced by' fresh turn outs. At Stockport only one factory is at work, which is protected by the military. At Ashton only three small factories are working ; and at the meet ings held, a most. determined spirit is manifested against returning to labour, except at the wages of 1840. A mob of armed 'colliers on Friday proceeded to stop the works at Wednesbury, in Staf fordshire, nine of whom were captured by the yeo manry, and committed to gaol. The pits at West bromwich, Hillstop, and Oldbury, continue at work. ECCLESIASTICAL, Archdeacon Manning, in his Visitation charge just published, states that, 300 years ago, the whole area of the churches, with a few slight exceptions, were open and free to all, except such seats of which the private and permanent use was assigned by the Bishop or a faculty. He considers pews to be a great abuse. LAW AND POLICE. Robert Davis, alias Middleton, was charged at Marlborough-street with attempting to rob a number of ladies at the Water-colour Exhibition, in Suffolk street, Pall-mall. A mitigated sentence of one month's imprisonment was passed on him for " intent to commit a felony." LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. _ _ In addition to the monument to be erected in Rugby chapel to the late Dr. Arnold's memory, it is proposed to establish an Arnold scholarship, either at Rugby or Oxford, to be enjoyed first by the Doctor's sons, and afterwards thrown open to general com petition. SPORTING. At Worcester, partridge-shooting affords plentiful sport. Ono party on Earl Coventry's estate killed 19} brace of birds with two guns ; and a gentleman killed 121 brace of birds and a leish of hares, in the neighbourhood of Peachley, after 12 o'clock. Other parties in the county met with similar success. c WIRT -FASHION ABLE. The Earl of Malmesbury has returned to Heron Court, Christchurch, from Danford House.

The " floating island" on Derwent lake has during the last 40 years appeared upon the surface of the water 13 times. Its last appearance was in the begin ning of the present month, when it was observed to be not quite so large as on former occasions. A contest is likely to arise as to the appointment to the vacant Deanery of Westminster, as a party is likely to hold out that it ought to be supplied by one who has received his education at that school.

EXPORTATION OF MACHINERY.—The following letter on this subject has been received at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce :—" Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, Bth September, 1842.—5ir,--In reply to your letter of the Ist instant, addressed to Mr. Macgregor, relative to the exportation of machinery, lam directed by the Lords of the Com mittee of Privy Council for Trade to inform you, that my Lords have recently recommended the Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury to grant permission to export certain classes of machinery, to which hitherto that permission has not been granted. Amongst the machinery for which permission has recently thus been granted, is included machinery for the spinning of cotton and wool ; and it is the intention of my Lords to recom mend the adoption of the like course as respects all ma chinery for spinning and manufacturing the above, as well as other substances, excepting those which are used in, or applicable to, the spinning or manufacture of flax, tow, linen, or lace.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN GEORGE SHAW LEFEVRE.—Thomas Boothman, jun., Esq." SUICIDE OF A STAGE-COACH DRIVER.—On Mors day evening Mr. Payne held an inquest, at the White Hart, Giltspur-street, on the body of George Morley, aged forty-one. Andrew Satchell, landlord of the Sara cen's Head tap, stated that the deceased had been lodg ing there for some days past. For many years he had been driver of the Leeds and other coaches, but had latterly been out of employment. About ten o'clock this morning (Thursday) deceased was found in his bed room, suspended, by a rope round his neck, from the head of the bedstead. He was immediately cut down, and a surgeon was sent for, when it was discovered that life had been extinct several hours. The witness fur ther stated, that deceased was one of those unfortunate persons who had been thrown out of employment in con sequence of steam-carriages having taken the place of stage-coaches; For a long time past deceased had been almost in a state of destitution, and had latterly been suffering under great depression of spirits. Deceased wanted to go down into Lincolnshire to see his relations, and endeavour to get some employment. Mr. Mountain had given the poor fellow leave to go by one of his coaches free of expense; but the driver, a man named Gamble, refused to take deceased, telling him he did not want his company. Deceased appeared to be extremely hurt at this, and cried bitterly while telling several persons of Gamble's behaviour to him. 'His mind seemed to have been roost dreadfully ..seaLeflt,d by his r -cent misrur tunes and disappointments. The Jury returned a ver dict " Temporary imaity," COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent attended Divine Service this morn ing in the parish church. The Rev. W. Bowyer officiated. Lady Charlotte Dundas and Sir George Couper, Bart., were in waiting on her Royal Highness. Yesterday her Royal I-lighnees the Princess Royal rode in the Home Park on her Shetland pony, and afterwards in a small landau, drawn by one of the domestics. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was taken an airing. In the afternoon the Prince and Princess were taken a carriage drive in the Great'Park, and again to-day their Royal Highnesses have been taken airings. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visits the Royal infants daily. Dispatches were received in town yesterday from Dusseldorf; dated Wednesday, the 7th inst., announc ing the illness of his Majesty the King of Hanover, and his subsequent favourable progresss towards recovery. The King was very ill on Sunday the 4th inst., but on Monday night was declared by his physician out of danger, and from that period up to the time of the departure of the dispatch on Wednesday, his Majesty, we are happy to state, was going on fa vourably. His Excellency Count Kielmansegge, the Hano verian Minister, after the receipt of the intelligence, forwarded accounts to. her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at Bushy House, Bushy Park, and to the members of the Royal Family. Mr. John Thornton, Deputy Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer on Saturday, at his official re sidence in Downing-street. Sir James Graham left town on Saturday for Cowes, Isle of Wight. Mr. Hedworth Lambton, M.P., and Mrs.Lambton, have arrived at their residence in Chester-street, Bel grave. square, from the Isle of Wight. Sir John and Lady Kennaway and family have ar rived at Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave-street, from Southampton. COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE. Covent-garden Theatre opened on Saturday for the season, under the management of Mr. Charles Kemble. The opera of Norma was chosen as the opening piece, Miss Adelaide Kemble, of course, personating the heroine. Miss Kemble, on her first appearance, was most enthu siastically greeted ; indeed, so loud and long-continued was the applause with which she 'W"is welcomed, that it was some minutes before she was suffered to proceed with her part. She looked pale and much thinner than last season ; and, from her appearance,it was evident that she was scarcely recovered from her late severe indispo sition ; indeed, in the early part of the evening, she seemed still suffering from its effects. She gave the hymn of the Druidess, however, Casta diva, with as great power, beauty, and pathos, as ever ; and as she proceeded with her part, her energies seemed to rise with the call made upon them, every trace of physical weakness disap peared, and from the commencement of the Casta diva to the conclusion of the opera, her performance was one continued series of splendid triumphs. In the duet with Adelgiso her efforts were admirably supported by Miss Rainforth ; both ladies were loudly applauded, and a repetition of the duet was called for. Miss Kemble, however, evidently suffering severely from the fatigue she had undergone, advanced to the front of the stage, and looked most beseechingly at the audience. The hint was taken, and although the applause was continued, and boo• ouets were showered on the stage, the audience had too much good feeling to persist in the call for its repetition. At the fall of the curtain she was loudly called fir, and was led forward by Cooper, when she was greeted with even greater enthusiasm than she had been on her first ap pearance. The only changes in the cast of the opera from that of last year were, the substitution of Giubilei for Leffler in the character of Oroveso, and of Binge for Clement White in that of Flavius. Miss Kemble, it ap pears from the bills, will perform every Tuesday, Thurs day, tind . Saturday, until Christmas, when she will finally retire from the stage. We know of no circumstance connected with the progress of musical taste in England that has occasioned, among all those who sincerely de sire'to see the establishment of an English musical school, a feeling of deeper regret than the announcement that Miss Kemble is so soon to retire from the scene of her triumphs. Not only is it a subject of regret to the English musical public, but to the musical pub lic of Europe ; for, unlike the generality of English singers, hers is an European fame, and, in many of the highest characteristics of opera, she stands, beyond compare, THE prima donna. Take the opera of Saturday, for instance, Norma. The only other Norma who can, for an instant, be put in comparison with Miss Kemble, is Grisi, and, with a full recollection of Grisi in the part, we have no hesitation in saying that the Italian must yield the palm of superiority to the Eng lishwoman. There is a calm dignity, the repose of conscious power, about the Norma of Miss Adelaide Kern ble, in which the Norma of Grisi is deficient, and for which the snappish shrewishness which she throws into the part is by no means an efficient substitute. Again, as an instance of her immense superiority over her com petitors, let us look at the fate of the opera of Elena Überti. This is one of Mercadante's operas, and one, the success of which depends entirely on the abilities of the singers, or, in this instance, of the singer, for Elena Ilberti is the only part in the opera. In the hands of Miss Kemble the opera drew crowded houses for some 20 nights. The same opera was subsequently produced at the Italian Opera House, with Frezzolini as Elena ; it did not run three nights, and this failure was entirely owing to the difference between the two singers, for Mercadante's music is certainly much more likely to please the taste of an Opera House audience than of a Covent-garden one. We regret Miss Kemble's retirement the more, because we observe already a marked improve ment in those who have been in the habit of singing with her : let us hope that Mrs. Alfred Shaw, who is engaged here, and who, like Miss Kemble, is an accom plished musician, and has a European fame, will continue what Miss Kemble has so happily begun, and that at length we may hav e an E ng li s h operat i c cor p s wor th y of being so called, and then we shall not want for good composers. At the conclusion of the opera the National Anthem was sung, the solo parts being riven excellently well by Miss Rainforth, and very carelessly by Mr. W. Harrison ; and then followed a new two act comedy, from the pen of Douglas Jerrold, entitled Gertrude's Cherries ; or, Waterloo in 1835. In the first scene we are presented with a view of the field of Waterloo, with the mount and the Waterloo lion in the distance, and. are introduced to Mr. Crossbone (Meadows), an English undertaker, and his wife (Mrs. Humby), who are making a wedding tour, and who, of course, become the dupes of Alcibiades Blague (excel lently acted by Mr. A. Wigan), the Belgian guide over the field, a gentleman who has always on hand a large supply of toothpicks cut from the Wellington tree crib bage-boards, the undoubted property of the Emperor Napoleon, and similar equally genuine curiosities, of which he disposes for a valuable consideration to the Milords Anglais who annually migrate from the realms of Coekneydom to the field of Waterloo. The gullibility of the English gobe-mouche, and manner in which that gullibility is made merchandise of by the race of guides on the Continent, is excellently shown up in this character of Crossbone. It is evidently a sketch from the life. Among the numerous parties visiting Waterloo is Willoughby (Mr. Bartley), a hearty old Englishman, who is accompanied by his grandson Vin cent (Mr. W. Lacy), awl a young widow, Angelica (Miss Cooper), between whom he is anxious to make a match. On arriving, however, at the hotel Mont St. Jean, Willoughby refuses to proceed further. He tells Vin cent that he has an only son buried at Waterloo—a son whom he had driven from his doors for his wild con duct, who thereupon enlisted and fell at Waterloo. Vin cent has no desire to escort Angelica to the field, for on his road to Brussels he has seen a pretty girl selling cherries, and is determined to seek her out. Just at this juncture, who should arrive at the hotel but Jack Halcyon (Harley), a former lover of Angelica, who, on that lady's marriage with an old man, took the affair so much to heart, that finding England, as he says, too small to contain his feelings, he determined to make a pedestrian tour of the world, took to walking and water drinking, until at length, like the wheel of a mill, he took nothing but cold water and exercise. Vin cent informs him of the death of Angelica's husband, introduces him again to Angelica, and sets forth in search of the pretty cherry-seller. Vincent discovers her abode, learns that her name is Gertrude (Mrs. W. Lacy), that her father is an Englishman, who wounded at Waterloo, had been nursed and tended in a peasant's cottage, and had made a peasant girl his wife. It is needless to say that Vincent falls in love with Ger trude, and that his love is returned. Mutual explana tions take place ; Gertrude's father is discovered to be the son of Willoughby ; the father and son are recon ciled, and Vincent receives the hand of Gertrude ; while Halcyon gives up his walking propensities, and becomes the husband of Angelica. The plot is, as will be per ceived, rather flimsy, but the piece is beautifully written. The dialogue sparkles with wit of the highest order, and not unfrequently reminded us of Voltaire in his happiest moods. The piece was completely successful, and was announced by Bartley for repetition every even ing amidst loud applause. Long before the rising of the curtain, the house was crammed in every part. EN GLISH OPERA HOUSE. In consequence of the accident which happened to Mr. Carter on Tuesday, the drama of Therese was substittited for the Lion King at this theatre on Thursday evening, on which occasion Miss Montgomery, late of the South ampton Theatre, made her first appearance befbre London audience in the character of Therese. This young lay possesses every requisite for success in the career which she has chosen. Her person is command ing, and her countenance most expressive —her voice is meodious, and her enunciation beautifully distinct ; her action is appropriate and graceful, and she possesses that elegance of manner which can only be acquired by mix ing in good society, but without which no actress can hope to succeed in the highest order of genteel comedy or in the first order of tragedy. Her debut was most successful. - She is an actress of great promise, and we hope soon to have the pleasure of again seeing her in a character more worthy of her talents than the part of Therese. The following occurs in a Barbadoes paper just ar rived, being the excuse of the Editor to his readers for not furnishing them with a leading article for the day:— , 4 We have to solicit the indulgence of our readers this afternoon, having been unable, from dome tic affliction, to give tht- usual attcution to the gctting up, of our pa per.
