Morning... 4 minutes after 11.1 Evening...3o minutes after 11 Orb /(Wli INtv4, *lititi xif-t LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1833 We refer our readers with great pleasure to a copy of a despatch, in another column, from Mr. STANLEY to the Governor of Guiana, on the subject of the Slave Emancipation Act of last session. We shall be anxious to learn how the West Indians carry into effect the plans to which it refers, as well as the suggestions it actually contains. We are still without any news from Spain which would enable us to form an opinion as to the probable duration of the struggle between the Government and the Carlists. One of the Paris papers of Wednesday, which arrived this morning, mentions a report of the receipt of despatches by the French Government from Madrid, dated the 11th inst, the contents of which had not transpired. According to the Bayonne Sentinelle of the 16. h, two batteries and 500 horses had arrived there on the day before. Numerous Spanish emigrants were coming in. The concentration of the insurgents at Tolosa was ascribed to SAARSFIELD'S ad vance, which was generally rumoured. A letter from Bayonne, of the 15th, says positively that he was at Burgos on the Bth ; that MERINO is at Tro, in La Rioja, with 25,000 men ; CUE VILLA S, with 4,000, at Vilorao ; Locuo in La Mancha ; and EL CAR AGOL in Catalonia with another band. It was stated that Don CA RLOS w as to enter Spain before the 15th inst. Letters from Madrid, received at Bayonne, announce that the QUEEN REGENT was going to fortify the capital. Advices from Toulon, of the 15th, state that instructions had been despatched to Ad miral HUGON not to send back three ships of the line that had been ordered to France, the state of Greece creating uneasiness. One of the Paris Papers states that a violent schism had taken place between two of th e French Ministers, Marshal SOULT and M. HUMANN, on the question of intervention. Marshal SOULT is represented to have urged it as essential for the security of France, and to have been opposed by M. HUMANN, on the ground that the finances of the country were not in a condition to sustain the war which might be the result of intervention in the affairs of Spain, and being supported in the Cabinet by the personal influence of the KING, M. HUMANN was declared the victor. It is said, however, that although the French are not to enter Spain, M. de TALLEYRAND is to return to England for the purpose of negotiat ing with Lord PALNIi,RSTON a treaty of in tervention, which would prevent the success of Cailism in Spain, without raising the hopes of the Liberals, and at the same time without ex citing the anger of the Northern Courts by an armed interference. This is by no means an unreasonable speculation, whatever may be the circumstances which have already occurred to render it probable ; but we hope affairs are gone too far in France to allow of M. de TALLEY RAND'S patching up the present system. We should hope also that our Government, with all its anxiety for the maintenance of peace, will not become a party to any scheme for consolidating the throne of the young Q U EEN, on the abso lute principles contained in the manifesto of he r mother. If we cannot interfere in favour of the Spanish Liberals, we can at least abstain from giving any encouragement to the existing Government.

The report of this change had excited great interest of Lisbon, where Admiral PARKER is, from the countenance which he is supposed to have given to the Aliguelite party, very unpopular. No notice of the reported change has, however, transpired here in any official quarter. The apparent inaction of General SAARS FIELD is attributed, in the Bayonne Corres pondence of a Ilorning Paper, to the refusal of some of his officers to act against the Carlists, except upon a guarantee of considerable amelio rations in the present system of government. It is not improbable that a feeling of this kind may have been manifested by some of the officers of SAARSFIELD'S army ; but it is only fair to suppose that SAARSFIELD himself may have encouraged such a manifestation. The conduct of this General throughout the revolutionary war justifies a belief that he would not hesitate to avail himself of a favourable opportunity to establish a Constitution in Spain, and it is not improbable that his inaction proceeds less from the want of means to cope with the Carlists than from a desire to compel the QUEEN REGENT to revoke her manifesto, and promise a convocation of the Cortes for the purp3se of establishing a Constitution, in which all that was good in the Constitution of 1812 might be retained, without those extreme points which raised an opposition to it among moderate men throughout the country. It will be remembered that the Revolution which led to the Govern ment of the Cortes came from the military, and 44 28 1 4 12!4 28 10 there is no extravagance in supposing that they are now preparing a similar movement. In countries where free institutions exist, the in terference of the military is to be regretted, but in a country like Spain, where the only educated persons who have the power of putting down the abominations of a bigotted and persecuting priesthood are the officers of the army, we should rejoice at any manifestation by the military of a desire to bring about a change of system. We shall, on an early day, give an account o (M. stands for 111inisterial. L. for Legitimatist, or Carlisi Lib. for Liberal.) We have received from a Paris correspond en the subjoined list of the newspapers published in the French provinces. They amount in number to 200, of which about one-fourth have no political character, and may be considered as mere local vehicles for advertisements, and ac counts of the state of markets. The remaining 147, however, are all political, and are thus divided :—Ministerial 52, Legitirnatist 36, Libe ral 59 ; giving to the Czalist and Liberal pro vincial press a majority of nearly two to one over the Ministerial prints. This numerical preponderance is very important, considering the difference that exists between newspapers in this country and in France. In England, newspapers are sometimes started as mere mercantile spe culations, and the politics are regulated by caprice or chance ; so that, although as a whole the newspaper press in England may be fairly taken as the barometer of public opinion, there are exceptions to the rule, which do not exist in France. In that country, a newspaper is always started by a party for political pur poses, and as it is sustained (in the provinces at least) by none of the intrinsic charms of a Newspaper as to arrangement, agreeableness of contents, or outlay for news, which characterize our own Provincial Press, it depends entirely on the strength of the political principles which it advocates for its support. It appears, there fore, that in the French provinces at this moment, taking the press as the indication of political feeling, the opposition to the juste milieu system is in the proportion of 2 to 1, and we are warranted in supposing, that if any circum stance were to occur to render an union between the Liberals and the Carlists possible, the juste milieu system could not exist a single day. Such an union is not so impossible as some persons imagine. The liberal press in the provinces sends forth 59 papers, the Carlist only 36. Assuming, therefore, that the in fluential portion of the population is repre sented by those papers, the Liberals have a majority of five to three, and knowing that when they should have made use of the Carlists as in strutnents to overturn the Ministry they would find little difficulty in keeping them down, strengthened as they would be by a large portion of the juste tnilieu, which would always adhere to the stronger side, the Liberals might not hesitate to adopt the old maxim of " the end sanctifies the means." the Paris newspapers, and then endeavour to make some more minute conclusions than we are able to do from the paper before us, which, however, as a statistical authority, must interest such of our readers as take an interest in French affairs : At Lyons—Courrier de Lyon, Al.—Gazette Lyonnais, L.—Le Precurseur, Lib.—Journal du Commerce, Lib. —Echo de la Fabrique, Lib.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have one or two arrivals this morning from Lisbon, but not of a later date than those previously received. We have also one from Oporto of the same date as before received. The information from Spaia still continues confused and contradictory. If we can credit the account., the Carlists are concentrating their forces, which indicates that Saarsfield is doing the same; therefore we may ex• pect to bear soon of some desperate fighting. THE FUNDS. Consols opened at 84i 88 for the Account, and sellers at 881 for January Account. In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock is heavy at 49! to 4; Portuguese 60 to 4 ; Spanish rather better at 22i 23. HALF-PAST ONE. We have seen a letter from Lisbon of the 9th, to which there is a postcript late in the evening stating that Don Pedro's troops were going the following day to attack the mills on the heights of Santarem. It further states that if the Miguelites do not leave the above place they will be starved out. We understand it is not the intention of General Sal danha to make a grand attack on Santarem, as the storm ing of it will be the sacrifice of too many men. Although the accounts from Madrid are favourable, particularly in respect to the interference of Spain with England, to put an end to the war in Portugal, the Funds are heavy.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied all the morning in hearing a part heard appeal, in which there was nothing stated of any public interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) WILLIAMS V. SPICES.. In this case the bill was filed against the defendant, Spicer, who was trustee under a deed of settlement which directed that certain leasehold estates in question should be sold as soon after the death of the settler as conve niently might be, the rents and profits being to be invested to accaroulate for the benefit of the plaintiffs in the cause. The defendant, who was a publican, and sole trustee, admitted, that he had regu larly received the rents of the property; but being an ignorant man, not being duly aware of the duties imposed on him by the trust deed, to lay out the funds in order to accumulate, and not having acted under the advice of any professional person, he had kept the money in a strong box in his own house; but as be had not applied it to his own use, it was submitted in his behalf that the Court could not charge him with interest on the balances which might be found due from him. On the other hand it was insisted that his ignorance of the meaning of the word " accumulation," could not be held to excuse him for the breach of trust, to lay out the money to advantage ; that the strong box only meant his own till, for the general purposes of his business ; and that he should, therefore, be decreed to pay interest at five per cent., together with the costs of the suit, which had been occasioned by his own misconduct. Mr. PEstamroN appeared for the plaintiff+, and Mr. TINNEY for the defendant. His Hortouit said he could not excuse a trustee for an obvious breach of trust, in consequence merely of an allegation that he was ignorant and ill-advised. In this case it was stated he had kept the trust moneys which should have been profitably invested, in a box in his own house, distinct and apart from his own funds; but that had not been proved; and it must therefore be judicially inferred that they had been applied in the ordinary course of his business. Th it was the unavoidable inference which a court of justice must draw from his conduct, and it was impossible to excuse him. He should, there fore, pay interest at o per cent. on the balances in his hands which should found due from him ; and as the suit had hen rendered necessary, not in consequence of any difficulty or question as to the construction of the trust deed, but by his culpable default as trustee, he should also be compelled to ply the costs of the suit. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PALMER V. THE SANK OF ENGLAND. This case came before the Court upon petition, praying an order upon the Bank of England, directing them to transfer 830/. and 12/ stock into the name of the plaintiffs. Some years since the petitioners (the plain tiffs), who were then infants, were entitled to 2,500/., which had been assigned by the father to Messrs. Hoare, bankers, in trust for them, and for the purpose of ac cumulation. By some mistake or other, Messrs. Hoare, instead of investing the amount in one sum, placed it in the hands of the Bank in separate fifths. Three of the children were now of age, and the Bank objected to pay out their three-fifths without the sanction of the Court. The present petition had, therefore, been pre sented for that purpose, which prayed, in addition to the transfer of the three-fifths, that the proper officer might continue to receive the remaining shares. The Courtx made the order as prayed. VAVASSOUR V. LORD STOURTON. The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning with the arguments in this case, on which the Bill was filed by the family of Sir Edward Vavassour against Lord Stourton, in order to have the declaration of the Court that certain estates, taken in exchange, were comprised in a marriage settlement, made in 1813. Sir EDWARD SucnEN and Mr. KOE were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bethel appeared for the noble de fendant. His Hoxourt, at the conclusion of the arguments, after going at length through the various documents, gave it as his opinion that it was perfectly clear the intention of the parties was that the estate called the Herne estate was included in the settlement. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The COURT was occupied up to the hour that our Re— porter left in hearing arguments on new trial motions. Nothing possessing the least interest transpired. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Upon the arrival of their Lordships in Court, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE informed the Bar that a new rule had been agreed to by the Judges of the several Courts, which would be read by the Master.—The following rule was then read : 4T/I WILLIAM IV. It is ordered that when a defendant is arrested upon an alias or pluries capias, issued into another county, pur suant to the rule of Michaelmas Term, 3d William IV., the defendant must put in bail in the county where he was arrested. The COURT then proceeded with a put heard cage. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat in the Bail Court to hear motions and to take undefined causes at Nisi Prius. POOR RATES' ASSESSMENT.—ST. JAMES'S V. THE EARL OF BURLINGTON. It will be recollected that a short time since application was made to Mr. Conant, at Marlborough-street for a distress warrant against the Earl of Burlington's goods for nonpayment of the poor's rates due to the parish of St. James's. It appeared that from complaints in that parish of the inequality of the assessments a new survey had been made, the result of which was that the Noble mansion and grounds of the Earl had been assessed at a much higher rate than before. Under the Local Act he appealed to a Petty Sessions, at which Sir Robert Farquhar and Mr. B. Beaumont presided, and the new assessment was very considerably reduced. The parish officers, conceiving that those magistrates had no power under the Local Act to alter the rate, refused to recognise the order of those magistrates, and applied to Marlborough -street for a warrant for the high rate. Coun sel were heard on each side, and some doubts being enter tained as to the jurisdiction of the magistrate after the rate . had been lowered by two preceding magistrates , the application was refused and the parties were advised to apply to the Court of King's Bench, in order that the question might be decided. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, this morning, said he was instructed to apply to this Court upon the subject. The Court were, perhaps, aware of the dispute between the Noble Earl and the parish respecting the poor rates; per haps, and it was very probable, the Noble Earl knew little or nothing respecting it, as he had very probably left the matter entirely to his agent, and as against that agent there was no complaint, as there was no doubt that he was actuated only by a wish to protect his principal's interest. The parish officers, however, were dissatisfied. with the decision of the Magistrates before whom the case was heard, and the only course that was open to them was an application to this Court. An Act was passed (the 2d Geo. III.) which was a local Act for the regulation of the parish of St. James, the 16th section of which pro vided, that any parishioner who felt himself aggrieved might apply to the Justices of the Peace within the district for relief, and if the relief were not given be was obliged to pay the amount—or after a distress had been levied for it—however unjust such amount might be, and then he was at liberty to appeal to the then next General Quarter Sessions. Many cases of great hardship had arisen from the opera tion of that clause, and the rating in the parish bad been found to be very disproportioned, the consequence of which was a dissatisfaction in the parish. It was found that the mansions of the nobility and the higher classes did not pay their fair proportion to the rates, and, in April last, a new survey was ma de, under which Burlington House, which was previously rated at 1,0001., was raised to 2,9431. The noble owner was consequently required to pay a rate according to that assignment, which was 4411. 9.. His agent re fused to accede to that deman d, and said he would appeal to the sessions. The Noble Earl then appealed, not to the Quarter Sessions, but under the Local Act, to two Magistrates in petty sessions, who, after viewing the pre mises, took upon themselves to reduce the assessment f rom 2,9431. to 1,6581. ; those Magistrates made no formal order, but merely made a memorandum of it in a book. An application was then made by the parish officers to the Magistrates of Marlborough-street for a warrant of dis tress for the higher rate, but it was refused. The Learned Counsel submitted that the Magistrates in petty sessions had no power to alter the rate; the Act of Parliament only authorised them to quash the rate and order a new one, if it appeared to be improper ; but it gave them no power to take upon themselves the responsibility of alter ing a rate. lie Loausnir asked what the Learned Counsel's mo ion was ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he would either take a mandamus against the Magistrates i , f Marlborough-street, commanding them to grant a warrant of distress for the higher rate, to which he conceived the parish was entitled, or he would take a ccrtiorarf, to bring the proctedings before the Magistrates at Petty Sssions into this Court ; in the latter case, if the Court should consider oriter of those Magistrate's') to redu'ce the rate Mega], then the piriih would be placed in the name situation as if nv , order had been made. The Magistrates, although required to do so, had made no formal order, and as to the mere entry in the book, it was a question whether it was such an order as could be recognized by the Court. He con tended that the Magistrates had exceeded their duty. It was clear that even the Quarter Sessions had no power to alter a rate, if the principle on which it was founded be wrong, and consequently the Magistrates at Petty Sessions could have no such power. His LORDSHIP asked, if the nitlndamu,s be granted whe ther it would not lead to an action of trespass, and then put the parties to great expense? If the certiorari be issued, aid the order Upon it being brought into Court proved to be illegal and be quashed, then the parties would be in the same situation as before. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that was what the parish wanted. If an action of trespass were brought, the parish would indemnify the Magistrates ; but if the order be quashed, Lord Burlington would be obliged to pay the higher rate, for which a warrant would iseue forthwith. His Loitnsitte said the best course would be, to take a certiorari to bring the proceedings before the Magistrates in Petty Session into this Court, bud, if the order was in formal, to quash it. If, however, it be correct, then the Court could consider what further steps should be taken. The certiorari was then directed to issue, COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) THE ICING V. BOWMAN AND ANOTHER. Mr. JARVIS applied for a respite of the recognizances which had been estreated in this case. The defendants had become bail for a person named Haines, who was charged with a misdemeanor. The cause was set down for trial in the King's Bench, but as time failed it was made a remanet. The defendants had Haines in waiting from day to day, according to their bond. They were surprised in a few days after the sittings, by having their goods seized upon to satisfy the bail bond. The defen dants had not paid the fees of setting down the cause as a remanet, and when they went to the office the day after term, they found the estreat had issued, and had been returned to that Court. The Court gr inted a rule Nisi, to be served upon the officers of the Crown. REDDETT V. LUCOCK. Mr. KELLY' showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Andrews calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why he should not pay the defendant the costs of the day for not proceeding to trial. The Learned Gentleman stated that the action was brought for a breach of promise of marriage, and was set down for trial at the Spring Assizes for Suffolk. The plaintiff attended with his attorney, and V 77.1 prepared to proceed with the cause, but was informed by the attorney of the defendant that the defence to be set up would very seriously affect the character of the plaintiff. As they were taken by surprise, and were not prepared to rebut such a defence, they withdrew the record. The cause was again set down for trial, and was actually tried at the Sum mer Assizes, when a verdict was found for the plain tiff, with five hundred pounds damages. The costs in that cause had been taxed, and final judgment signed upon the 7th of November. He contended that the defendant was now too late in making such an application, as it would be exceedingly inconvenient to keep a cause open for such a length of time. Mr. ANDaews said though final judgment had been signed, yet it did not appear that the costs had either been taxed or paid. Mr. KELLY said, i❑ the Court of King's Bench the signing of final judgment was synonymous with the taxing of costs, and he apprehended the rule was the same there. The COURT made the rule absolute, on the ground that the costs, which were parallel costs, were open as long as the cause was, and that lasted till the execution was satisfied.. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY. John ingby and Edward M' Cube were indicted for stealing four snuff boxes, the property of William Squire. A policeman of the B division proved that he saw the prisoner 11.1'Cabe thrust his band through the window when in company with two other boys, and he had traced one of the boxes to his possession. . _ Notwithstanding this positive evidence, the father of this prisoner declared in the most solemn manner that his son was a very industrious honest boy, and that he had never been in custody upon any charge, not even on suspicion. I❑ contradiction of this statement, Mr. Nodder, the gaoler, said be h ad been in his prison, and had been charged also before a magistrate. The policeman said that he was an associate of Iheives. The CHAIRMAN lamented that men should be so re gardless of truth, as the father had been. The Jury found them both guilty. The Counic took time to consider whether they should send them out of the country. QUEEN SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) DESTITUTION,--A poor half starved cripple, scarcely able to crawl, named William Bishop, was brought before Mr. BURRELL, the sitting Magistrate, by police constable Rice, of the B. division, No. 89, charged with begging in the public streets. The constable stated that he found the prisoner at Knightsbridge, asking charity, and exhibiting a petition to the foot passengers. The constable handed a paper to the Magistrate, on which was witten in large letters the following words :—" Want of employment, and severe distress compels me to ask charity of a benevolent public." The constable added, that he questioned the defendant, who told him that if he had employment he could not work. _ ........ Mr. BURRELL asked him what trade he had been brought up to ? The defendant said that he was a saddler and harness- maker. Mr. BURRELL-What is the reason you could not work if you hail employment offered to you ? Defendant—Look at my deformity ; and my eyes are so weak that I can scarcely see. It would not be possi• ble for me to do much work. I have suffered the greatest distress and privation. Mr. BURRELL-You must go for ten days to the House of Correction. The unfortunate man, who looked an object more fit for an hospital than a prison, was then removed to the lockup cell. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are short, and the return of Flour scanty. The Wheat trade remains very dull, and prices arc unaltered.

He was ultimately carried home in a melancholy state of intoxication and delirium, in which he remained through out the night and died the next day.—Sherborne Journal. DRUR V-LANE THEATRE. However admirable Anthony and Cleopatra may be as a reading play, on the stage it " drags its slow length along," except here and there, where some fine, discrimi nating touch of passion or pathos enforces our attention. 'the feasoh of it® comparative unfitness for the stage, we take to be this; 'We care nothing about the principal personages. They are great names ; nothing more. Strive as we May, ‘ we cannot sympathize with the doating fond ness Of a worn otit debauchee; whose hair is ," grixtled" with age ; or the maudlin jealousy of an old woman ; eVet+ with t actions though the one be Anthony, and the other Cleopatra. Their arV perpetually at variance i r on y s ea a r n s d . s'' B n oh lne a P re ts venerable, yet both ape the follies and passions of youth, bandying sentimentalities with each other, just as if they were two green boarding-school lovers. This, which would disgust us in real life, can scarcely be expected to interest us in fiction. Again, the gorgeous descriptions and imposing imagery which electrify us in the closet, only clog and act as a drag-chain on the wheela of action oil the Stage; Mr. MAcnitAbl' evidently foresaw the last defect, and accordingly has made judicious curtailments, availing himself; at the same time, of one or two of Dryden's interpolations, as to render the play in some degree fit for representation, Of course, we praise his alterations only as regards stage fitness ; for closet perusal we still cling to the matchless original. Mr. MACREADY played Anthony, and though he delivered the language of the character with little of that gusto which should belong to it ; though he wore too thoughtful an aspect—threw too much of depth of reflectiOn, is it were, into his voice and delivery—gave, in short, too little of wordliness and regal assumption to the " demi-Altas of the earth,"—as Cleopatra, in a magnificently characteristic line, calls her idol—still, in the more stirring scenes, where remorse was to be depicted, his pathos was true to nature. To Anthony, the Roman Warrior, he did full justice; of Anthony, the maudlin lover, he iiiBde lads or nothing, and we much doubt if any one else ever did, or ever will. It is odd, that his most successful hit was not in Shakspeare, but in the interpolation of Dryden. He was inimitably fine in that scene, where, shocked at his abject cowardice, in following the flight of Cleopatra from Actium, he dashed himself on the ground, exclaiming—. " Lie there, thou shadow of an emperor His convulsive shudder too, and sudden, involuntary burying of his head within the folds of his robe, when Cleopatra's voice, as she approaches to console him, first reaches his ears (as if, notwithstanding his wrath, he still dreaded the in4uent4 of the sorceress), showed a quick, subtle apprehension of the troth of character. But, indeed, Mr. MACREADY played his best throughout. He has evidently deeply studied the part, whence we conclude it is a favourite with him. His abrupt, startling transitions of voice and manner, from the roar of the hurricane to the whisper of the zephyr, were also less prominent titan usual, and he is now beginning to deserve the praise, which we once despaired of ever being able to award him, of a chaste artist. Miss PHILLIPS, as Cleopatra, laboured under the same defect as MACREADY. She did not look the cha racter. In the first place, she was too young ; secondly, she hail not that stately, rounded, and volup tuous figure, which we ascribe to " Royal 2Egypt ;" thirdly, she hail not that clear, luscious, flute-like voice which witched the senses of the first Caesar. In other respects her performance was successful. Her brief, fitful flashes of mixed tenderness and jealousy, and the abrupt hurrying from the extreme of hope to the extreme of despair when she is informed of Anthony ' s marriage with Octavia, prove that she can sound the depths, and enter, with something of a kindred spirit, into the inner and more recondite beauties of Shakepeare's heroines. Nor must we omit to mention the emphatic manner, in which, when imaging to herself the thoughts which are engros sing the mind of her absent Anthony, she kept lingering fondly on that noble line, " He's thinking now of his old serpent of the Nile." It finely embodied the "one idea" of a doating woman. Mr. KING, as Octarites, though he was not quite perfect in the part, played with care and skill. He had one or two opportunities of " making mouths," which he wisely avoided. Cooziß's Zno barhus was spirited, but rather too much in the braggadocio, or Captain Bluffe, style. He was also too for' ilt. ,ny or .oti c ViS. 6 8 11 " E~ ~pB•i J.

Mr. G. BENNETT made an effective Eros. His dying scene was full of feeling, and would have been still o ,llf better, if lie had not rolled out the letter R with such perse- geliawest vering emphasis. Of the scenery, we cannot speak in too po t bo of exaggerated terms of praise. STAN FIELD was there in cos i , all his glory, giving us rich glimpses of perspective, such as no other artist of the day can come near; sunny slopes, r ir l i g hl and wooded promontories ; glorious gilt galliea, worthy ` ..t 13 , 1 4 to waft Cleopatra down the Cydoes, floating upon seas of je cp silver; and the rich, warm light of Sicilian and African skies, steeping all the landscapes in floods of splendour. The dresses were gorgeous, and in excellent keeping, and the processions, for their variety and magnificence (if not for their accuracy), would have electrified the soul of old Recta. Let Mr. BUNN hut perse vere in his present course, and if the drama is to be restored, he will do it. It is infinitely to his credit, that, notwithstanding the almost overwhelming expense to which the Opera of Gustavus must have subjected him, he has yet had the courage to revive Shakepeare's Anthony and Cleopatra, in a style of nearly equal magnificence. What more he can do, or what more can be expected of him, we know not. The play was successful, and the house full, if not crowded. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.
