~. .. THEATRES. BAYMARKET. Last 'night the f?.ason of this theatre commenced Sheri- clan's comedy of The Rivals was played, with almost the I . :time cast of characters as last season, the exception...; being. the as sumption of Sir Anthony Absolute by Strickland, and of Faulk land. by Mr. J. Vining, who is engagrd, if we remember riglitl.:;, for the first time these seine years. Mr. J. Vining Is not suited for Faulkland, but we suppose we must be satisfied In • the absence of a better. Mrs. Glover was, as usual, inimitable as Mrs. Malaprop, and . \Veekes was a very fair represtnlatiNte 1 of the fire-eating Sir Lucius O'Trigger. After tilt comedy was produced a new ballet of action founded upon an eastern tale, called Zumela. Several new dancers from Paris appear"' 1, but they are of that class that do not require any I.f...ertnened notice of their merit or caFbilities. Thebest molt Is M.'Massot, whose style is formed on that of Perrot, but without that fi nished grace and elasticity of limb .;o exquisite in the latter. Mademoiselle Josephine Duce 15! a pleasing artiste of the se cond class. She requires more steadiness in her movements. There are also two sisters, named Stephan, who executed a pas de dcux with considerable neatness. The groupings of the ballet are tasteful, and the various coryphecs were quite perfect, rather an unusal thing for a first performance. The ballet is got up with care and expense, acrd is likely to be as long lived as any of the productions of this class. The house was well filled, especially at second 'rice. LYCEUM. A verlion of I'ler2rbeer's Opera of The Huguenots was produced last night, by the Lyceum commonwealth. There certainly must be a revolution in taste ; for although the whole of the origin music was cut out, and plenty of red fire was in requisition" the adaptation was a failure. It is true that Mr. J. H. Tully, who is announced in the bills as "general mu sical director and occasional composer" for the establishment, thinking, no doubt, that Meyerbeer's music was but sorry stuff; provided for the " grand musical drama"—we again quote the affiche—a certain quantity cf his profound composition, and it must be admitted that was scarcely giving the red fire a fair chance, but still the audience were perverse enough to imagine that Tully did not shine in music. It was particularly unfor tunate for him that through a misprint it was stated that the overture and music were " entirely new." The mistake con sisted only of three letters—" new" was accidentally.inserted for " old," but it created an unfavourable impression. We shall not attempt to analyse the plot of The Huguenots. The incidents were striking enough, for nearly the whole drama vas a series of combats, the causes of which were not clearly explained. We are sorry to say that some good acting, some pretty scenes, and picturesque costume have been thrown away on the production. The entertainments, otherwise, were un exceptionable. The drama of Lucille continues its prosperous career, and will have a long run ; and the lively farce of a A Day Well Spent keeps pace with its more serious corn. panion in the stream of popularity. The management is spi rited, and the general arrangements of ;he house are entitled to much commendation. NEW S TRA This pleasant little theatre Pas opened last night for the season, under the joint manatrement of Mr. W. J. Hammond, an actor of considerable provincial celebrity, and Mr. Douglas Jerrold, who is well Ir - ,lown for his successful drama of Nell Gwynne and The Rent Day. The performances commenced with a new bwiletta, from the pen, we understand, of Mr. Leman Red r„ entitled Come to Town. The plot of this lively - trifle is as follows :—Ccelebs (Mr. Simpson) has a nephew, Freder'„ck Darlington (Mr. W. J. Hammond), whom he in vites to " come to town," ag ,the best place for rewarding in dwstry and talent. There, and next door to his uncle, Frede rick finds an old flame in the person of a young lady, Hen rietta ( Miss Ferguson), whom he had encountered at a race ball,whilst Jeffery, his valet( Mitchell), is also once more blessed with the sight of a former lover, Nelly (Miss Stoker). Mr. Cce lebs has a love of his boyhood, Miss Penelope (Mrs. Tayleure), the aunt of Henrietta, in the same house, where the other fair ones arc, and, after divers disguises and plots, Frederick obtains his love, and the old fellow and Jeffery are in a fair way to arrive at as blest a conclusion. The piece rests mainly on the efforts of the new performer, Mr. Hammond, who cer tainly afforded it the most efficient support ; and had two songs full of point, a-ht-Mathews, which he sung most effec tively, and was 'encored in the first. He was ably seconded by Mrs. Tayl cure, who is admirable in that line of character. Mr. Rede'; piece was followed by a new serious burletta, in one act, The Painter of Ghent, the principal character in which was played by the author, Mr. Douglas Jerrold. There is great power in this drama, and not a little pathos, and had the materials been worked up with more care, we have little doubt it would have had a long tenure of existence. As it is, it must depend for success, solely on the stray bursts of fancy and feeling which proceed from the lips of the half. frenzied artist. Some of these are of a very vigorous character, and produced an impressive effect. It is a very rare subject of complaint with us that modern dramas are too much curtailed; but on this occasion we cannot help regretting that Mr. Jer rold had not made more skilful use of his characters. There are materials in the Painter of Ghent for three acts. Of the author's performance, we can scarcely yet venture to speak de kiVAke w MesMiniti,SilYbarßsrAiNle ordinary degree, and Mr. Jerrold will take rank as one of the most intelligent actors of the day. He was welcomed in the most friendly and cordial manner by the audience, and loudly called for at the end of the play. The house was full, but not crowded. ST. JAMES'S-FRENCH PLAYS. A uew vaudeville, entitled Les Duels, from the pen of M. Carmouche, was last night brought out at this theatre with complete success. The situations are remarkably laughable, and afford scope for some excellent acting by M. Vizentini and M. Robert, the latter of whom added considerably to the reputation he has acquired by his performance of Le Gamin. Lion d'Harcourt (M. Robert), having obtained leave of ab sence from his regiment, for the purpose of offering his hand to Agathe de Bracy, arrives at the house of her mother just at the moment when she is (against her own'n consent) about to become the wife of Polydore Beauchamp (Mons. Vizentini), a gentleman more celebrated for conceit than courage. In order to delay, and if possible to prevent, the union, Lion D'Har court, with the assistance of his friend Dumesnil (M. Lautb man), contrives to involve Beauchamp in a duel, and by pre tending to meet his cießth from his adversary's fire, to in duce him to quit the country. In spite, however, of Beau champ's h orror at the crime he supposes himself to have committed, he refuses to quit his intended bride, and the ceremony is ',lxed for the following day. D'Harcourt is now compel:Jed to have recourse to some other expedient to prevent ':he dreaded nuptials. He accordingly disguises himself as a notary, and is introduced, for the purpose of pre- Paring - - the marriage contract. Beauchamp detects a strong resemblance to his victim, and a most ludicrous scene ensues. Fearing detection, the notary acknowledges he is a brother of Lion d'Harcourt. A quarrel ensues between the notary and Beauchamp, in consequence of some misunderstanding rela tive to the marriage contract, and another duel takes place. By the contrivance of Dumesnil, who extinguishes the light, Beauchamp is led to believe tbat he has caused the death of a second victim. Lion d'Harcourt, hearing of the arrival of his Colonel, and to escape detection, equips himself in female a'ctire, and introduces himself under the pretext of searching for a relative. Beauchamp again recognizes the features of his two sacrifices. Despairing of preventing the marriage, Du inesnil, in his capacity of Magistrate, denounces Beauchamp as the murderer of the two unfortunate brothers, the Captain and the Notary, and calls upon him to deliver himself up to the hands of justice. Beauchamp is at last compelled to re linquish Agathe, and the appearance of Lion d'Harcourt, who :acknowledges himself also to be the notary, completely recon ciles him to the loss. The acting of Vizentini kept the audi ence in continual laughter, and M. Robert, as the cavalry officer, the lawyer and the lady, fully entitled himself to the applause he received. The entertainments commenced with Le Gamin de Paris, and finished with Le Chatee Metamor phosee en Femme. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. FIFTH CONCERT. The fifth meeting of this society took place yesterday eve ning at the Hanover-square Rooms. The appearance of that promising pianist, Mr. W. S. Ben nett, for the first time this season, delighted everybody. His concerto and performance were the theme of admiration. In the cantabile of pianoforte performance he appears almost to have arrived at the summit of perfection ; and he has also con siderable increase :n tone. 'I be first movement of the con certo we cannot pass by without terms of high commendation. It is the work of a profound musician. Cherubini's delightful overture will ever prove fresh and attractive. It is an ex tremely elegant and imaginative composition, teeming with the subtleties of orchestral effects. It was also charmingly performed. It true that the overture of Ali Baba, the last work of this great composer, was rehearsed, and then laid aside ? If so, to whom is to he attributed the blame ? Che rubini never wrote a bar of bad music. Mozart opened the second act, and the performance of his symphony No. 2 was a great treat. Dragonetti and his companions, the contra bassi, had no idle task throughout the finale. Mrs. Bishop's detcrminution to bring forward classical composi tions demands unqualified praise. We have already, on se veral occasions, expressed our opinion of our merits in the execution of one of Beethoven's most charming songs. Of Mr. Lipinski's composition we can say but little—of his per formance words cannot sufficiently describe his extraordinary merit. There was a crowded room, and we noticed among the company Madame Maiibran, and M. Thalbcrg, the cele brated pianist. ANCIENT CoNemers.—A rehearsal of to-morrow's perform. anee took place yesterday, in the presence of Lord Cawdor (Director of the evening), Lord Burghersh, and a number of the subscribers. The selection is a very excellent one, and by no means a common one ; for, independently of Handel, seve ral fine compositions by Hasse, Leo, Bononcini, Paesiello, Sarti, Righini, Mozart, Avison, Weelkes, &c., are included ; so that it may be justly called a performance of classical music, which has not been hackneyed to satiety, as too many of the modern compositions are. SPOIIR.—It is trot the intention of this celebrated composer to visit England this season, as was once expected; but it is reported that he will do so next spring. Mr. Mont , omery is lecturing at Sheffield on th. British Poets. ° The Prussians appear to excel even the Irish in their fondness for potatoes, as well as in the various mode of preparing them for use. A recent traveller states that he has frequently on one occasion seen them served in six different forms—the bread mad e f rom them—the soup thickened with them—fried potatoes —potato salad, and potato dumplings; anti lastly, potato cheese, which, besides being extremely pala able, will keep some years. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1836. Lord MORPETH'S speech last night on introducing to the House of Commons the plan which his Ma jesty's Ministers have adopted for settling the Irish Tithe question, will be read with the deepest interest. The subject itself is pre-eminent in .importance, in volving, as it does, the peace and prosperity not merely of Ireland, but of the British Empire. And the Noble Lord, though sensible of the difficulties with which it is embarrassed, has shown that he is fully able to grapple with it. That he has succeeded in rendering the Jrish Tithe Bill palatable to those who are always dissatisfied with a measure in proportion as it promises to promote the public welfare, we will not assert. Ifidced we should think it but a sorry com pliment to the MELBOURNE Administration could it be predicated of any of their measures that they gave satisfaction to such a selfish and factious crew as those who now occupy the Opposition benches. But this we need not hesitate to say, that the framers of the present Bill have obviated many of the objections brought forward last year, against a similar measure, by the leaders of the Tory party in both Houses of Parlia ment. The Noble Lord, after demonstrating the impos sibility of collecting tithes in Ireland, from the inveterate and unconquerable antipathy of the people to the pay ment of this obnoxious impost, and the danger lest by delaying an adjustment of the question, even a little longer, there might be found nothing to adjust, pro ceeded to explain the details of his plan in so far as they differed from those of last year. These we shall lay before our readers as briefly as possible. The same principles for commuting Tithes into a rent-charge are adopted as in the former Bills, a de duction of 30 per cent. being made from the gross value of the Tith.e.There is to be no repayment of the 637,0001. paid to the Irish Clergy out of the million granted by Parlicment, nor-is the remainder of the million to be (le voted to the payment of the Tithe-arrears due to the Clergy, who must now make up their minds co forego their arrears as a penalty for the protection afforded them by their friends in the upper House. The collection of the rent-charge is to be entrusted to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, but their functions are limited to the term of seven years, at the end of which period a new arrange ment, if found desirable, may be made. In carrying into effect the appropriation principle, from which the Government have not flinched an inch, some important alterations in the provisions of the former measure occur. All the benefices in Ireland are divided into three classes —the first class, amounting to 670, and co n t a i n i ng f rom 50 to 500 Protestants,° a re :to have each a stipend of 200/ second, amounting t o 209, and containin. gafroymeasr-00t1;oe 1,000, are to have 3004 a year—and the third, in PI( it:ES OF sruchs TFI IS DIV AT ONE O'CLOCK. 13•nk Stock ..

Out of this, however, has to come the compensation to be 'paid to patrons, together with other charges attendant on the proposed plan. But after all ecclesiastical claims are discharged the surplus is to be paid into the Consolidated Fund, on which there is to be made a fixed charge of 50,0001. per annum, to be applied to the religious and moral edu cation of the people of Ireland without distinction of sects. It will be seen that Lord STANLEY ' S petulance contrasted strongly with the moderation of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL. We congratulate the Noble Lord on the new title conferred on him by Lord JOHN RUSSELL—the Hotspur of the North ; we fear it will be a long time before he " pluck up drowned honour by the locks." A petition, signed by Sir J. M. DOYLE, and seven other Commissioned Officers, late in the service of DONNA MARIA of Portugal, was presented to the Portuguese Cortes on the 26th ult., praying that a Commission might be appointed to examine their claims, and do them justice. We are really asto nished at the scandalous ingratitude of the Portu guese nation towards men to whose valour they are mainly indebted for their deliverance from the Mi guelite yoke. Had it not been for the intrepid bravery of the British troops, and the cordial co-operation of the British Government, the brows of DONNA MARIA would never have been encircled by the diadem of Portugal. And what has been our reward ? Why, not only are we worse treated as a commercial nation than we were previous to the overthrow of the Usurper, but even our volunteers, who individually risked their lives and shed their blood in defence of the QUEEN and constitutional liberty, are now treated with contumely by the very cravens whom they raised by their swords to the first dignities in the State I As the service was ifalantarv_there is of course no room left for any official would not presume thus to beard a Power to which, as a constitutional Monarchy, she owes her existence, and without whose alliance she could not,long hope to preserve it. Should a Commission be appointed, the petitioners pledge themselves to bring forward such evidence as will fully establish breaches of faith, and violations of all contracts entered into with them by the Portuguese Executive. They also undertake to prove the partial, unfair, and illegal administration of the adjustment of their accounts by the Portuguese Commissioners, appointed to sit in Lisbon for the liquidation of debts due from the Go vernment to foreigners in the QUEEN'S service. All this does not surprise us. It is quite in accordance with our previous notions of Portuguse good faith and honesty. That nation is not in the best odour with the rest of Europe ; though had Don PEDRO lived, there is little doubt but that he would have purified it. The Paris Papers of Sunday, the whole of which we have just received, announce that preparations are making for the departure of the Dukes of ORLEANS and NEMOURS for Berlin, where they will be present at the annual spring reviews of the Prussian army. Their Royal Highnesses will next proceed to Vienna, and return again to Paris about the Ist of 3uly. Lotus PHILLIPPE is looking about for suitable spouses for these royal scions of the House of Orleans. His Most Christian Majesty, is the most prudent of fathers, and, therefore, he takes advantage of a season of unusual tranquillity to settle his children comfortably in the world. It is rumoured that the picture of the Duke of ORLEANS has already found its way to the presence of some of the most accomplished and well-dowered Princesses in Europe ; and from the way in which it has been received, there is rea son to fear that some time will elapse before the Duke will have an opportunity of playing a part in which his Royal Father intends him to cut a distin guished figure. Russia would prefer any alliance with France to one by marriage ; and Austria has not for gotten the exploits of PHILLIPPE Egalite. There is Princely blood enough in Germany ; bins% so closely allied with pride and poverty, that even LOUIS PHIL LIPPE shrinks from a connection that would fill France with state paupers. The thirty Polish refugees, who were ordered by the Government to quit Paris, petitioned the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, praying that the order might be withdrawn. The petitioners stated that the Govern ment had instructed the Authorities to inform them that their removal from Paris was in complian ce with the urgent demand of the Russian Ambassador. This statement. did not seem to discompose M. TI -HERS, who appeared to pay no attention to a matter so trivial Premierships have a surprising effect on the opinions of French and English universal philanthrophists and liberals 1 The French Journals notice the arrival of more En glish troops at Santander. M ore were expecte d ; and the Spanish authorities had commanded the peo ple every where to open their doors to receive them as friends and allies.

Re ports were in circulation on Sunday to the effect that ' Spain was about to make a formal demand of French intervention, in order to put down the rebellion at once. We think such reports premature. !I Many honourable merchants on 'Change PARIS, APRIL 2 1 -. about . the famous ne • . ws Vien by the Ml conversed smil'nglY fthe A ' ' • 1 " '• +lie reduction o ustrian army which nisterial journal of .._ abundant panegyrics o n • ' its patrons. served it as a text for . • Austria is in want of money it They obser ve d, that wheneve , . •thicing its military esta loudly proclaims its intentions of r..... • 'ut the same time, blishment.

Couriers have been dispatched, and their return and the deliberation of the absolute Courts must be waited for before it can be. known what it may be thought fit to do at Pa ris. It is then that it will be time to calculate the results of intervention in a given position of Spain and Europe. Till then we doubt whether the instances of a part of the Cabinet will succeed even in getting the force of our auxiliary legion raised to 10,000 men." The correspondence between the British Government and the several persons in Spain who were parties to the " Eliot Convention," has been laid upon. the table of the House of Peers. All doubt as to the authenticity of the notorious Durango decree, so often impugned by the abettors of Don CARLOS, is now removed. . _ The correspondence is spread over a period of nine months—from the beginning of July, 1835, to the latter end of March, 1836. The first document is the copy of a declaration to be delivered to Don CAuLos by Colonel WYLDE, in which, after stating that the Bri tish Government could not believe Don CARLOS capable of publishing the decree referred to, the follow ing distinct and spirited announcement is made : " The undersigned is instructed formally to declare to his Royal Highness that the British Government will not permit the Convention which was nertiated and signed under the mediation of Great Britain to be vio lated with impunity : that the British Government cannot doubt that this Convention will be strictly and faithfully observed with regard to all persons engaged in the service of the Queen of SPAIN, whether Spaniards or others ; and that the British Government look especially to his Royal Highness Don CARLOS for a fulfilment of the engagements which have been made, and for an observance, on this matter, of the usages of civilised nations." This declaration was read to Don CARLOS by Colonel WYLDE, on the 2d of August, and a copy of the Du rango decree was put into the Prince's hands by that Gentleman. No answer was required. However the Prince thought proper to inform the Gallant Colonel, without any hesitation, " that he had issued that de cree after mature reflection; that he considered that he was perfectly justified in doing so, and that he had issued orders to his generals to carry it into effect ; that as to the convention presented to him by Lord ELIOT, the employment of foreign troops was not con templated at that time, or he should not have agreed to it, and that he looked upon this force as without the pale of the Convention !" This is pretty well, as a specimen of DoN CARLOS' humanity ! Our readers are all well acquainted with General MINA'S account of the murder of CABRERA'S mother. This old woman, it will be remembered, was not put to death, before she had 'been engaged in a foul conspiracy to betray a city into the hands of the Car lists. In MINA'S address to his " friends" the Cata lans, which was intended for publication in the Jour nals of London and Paris, rather than for perusal in the Basques—the particular part which the old woman, as chief conspirator, assigned to herself, is not stated. We suspect it was some atrocious feat, from the willing ness with which so humane and gentle a being as MINA consented to have her shot. Like SAMPSON, she might have contemplated carrying off the city gates, even though more ponderous and crazy than those of Gaza ; but to whisper a suspicion of our own—it is much likelier that the mischievous old hag had determined to carry off the city altogether. Be this as it may, having given MINA'S account of the Or Ziff' "6\V n 7mrfig.a al% r' "kr.' affl i iiies w sive that , Me re peated efforts to humanize the Spanish warfare entitle him to the respect of every Englishman : GEORGE VILLIERS, EEQ., TO VISCOUNT PALMERSON.- (RECEIVED MARCH 17. " Madrid, March 7, 1836. _ " I consider it ray duty to inform your Lordship of an oc. currence which has lately taken place at Catalonia, and which, with reference to its atrocity and its consequences, has pro. duced a considerable sensation at Madrid. " A Carlist Chief, called Cabrera, shot the Alcaldes of two small villages in Lower Arragon. " The mother of Cabrera, a poor old woman, nearly seventy years of age, lived at Tortosa, and General Nogueras, who commanded the Queen's troops in the neighbourhood, ordered the Governor of that place to have her seized and shot. " The Governor refused to commit this barbarous deed; upon which General Nogueras wrote to General Mina, the Captain- General of the province, for his sanction, which was unhesi tatingly given, and the mother of Cabrera was executed for the crimes of her son. " The Carlist Chief was not slow in adopting measures of retaliation. He issued a circular denouncing the barbarous cruelty of the Queen's officers, and ordering the wife of a Colonel and three other women to be shot. " Having obtained a copy of this circular, I have the ho nour to enclose a translation of it to your Lordship. " Immediately upon these facts coming to my knowledge, I waited upon M. Mendizabal, with whom I found the Minister of War, and I told their Excellencies that I was come, in the performance of a painful duty, to announce to them what would be the feelings of his Majesty's Government and the whole people of England upon learning these unparalleled acts of barbarity. " I said that the Carlist Chiefs, in general sprung from the lower orders of the people, and risinr , to a kind of bad pre eminence by their daring deeds or ferocious characters, their crimes, however lamentable, were not surprising ; but that when two officers of high rank and command in the Queen's service, after consulting together, deliberately committed an act unheard of, even among savage tribes, regardless alike of public opinion and the victims among their own party who would in revenge be sacrificed, an indelible stain must be fixed upon a Government which, by not punishing such offen ders, would seem to sanction and approve their crime. " These, I said I knew would be the feelings of his Ma jesty's Government; and in order that the alliance of Spain might not be shameful to England, I took the liberty of asking their Excellencies to declare by what means the Government proposed to vindicate the injured rights of humanity ? "'M. Mendizabal and Count Almodovar, with expressions of horror, admitted the facts, and seemed to be aware of the impression which they would produce in England. " I have several times since spoken to M. Mendizabal upon the matter, and his Excellency yesterday informed me that General Nogueras had been dep rived of his command in Aragon, and that a Cou r t o f Inquiry had been ordered into all the circumstances of the case, with a view to ulterior measures. (Signed) " GEORGE VILLIERS. General MINA is welcome to make the most of this. In the meantime we are impatient for the details of the horrid conspiracy, for a participation in which a Spanish General and a Grandee felt himself bound to imbrue his hands in the blood of a defenceless widow, in the seventieth year of her age We have advices from Madrid to the 15th inst. The Cabinet, which alike bids defiance to completion or dissolution, was neither increased nor diminished. This greatly retards the business of the Chambers, as both are prevented from sitting at the same time, by the want of the power of übiquity in the Minister. Such a curious state of affairs ex cites no surprise in Spain. To accommodate themselves to what appears to them a necessary state of things, the Peers adjourn when the Deputies pro pose to sit, and when the Peers sit the Depuiies vote themselves tired, and so take a holiday ! What would be thought of such a proceeding in England ? But the English do not understand Ministerial accommo dation in the same sense as the Spaniards. Of course we are presuming a Minister's official presence in both Houses of Parliament constitutionally possible — which our readers know is not the case in this country. The altercation between MENDIZABAL and ISTU - . iuz is not yet so adjusted as to lead to an entire re conciliation between these gentlemen. By the Hamburg mail, just received, we have ad vices from Stockholm to the 6th, and front Copen hagen to the 17th instant. The Swedish Monarch is fitting out a naval armament, with a view, it is sup posed, of uniting with France and England against Russia, of whose aggressive policy he has already had ample evidence. Lord John Russell has appointed Mr. James Bury of Manchester, Superintendent Inspector of Factories for the - •ies of Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and Northampton. C01~4,,, LITERATURE.

Asa great portion of this tale has already appeared in the Court Magazine in a series of papers under the title of " Remarkable Escapes of a Vredf;Ftinated Rogue," and we noticed them as they appeared sue cessively in the pages of that periodical, we need say nothing more on the present occasion, than that they form the substance of an entertaining work of fiction, whose incidents are as abundant, and as con stantly changing, as the scenes in a Pantomime.

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock. Mr. O'Connell being in a majority at the adjournment on Monday, Counsel on behalf of the petitioners commenced by objecting to the votes of Michael Dempsey and Oliver Blaney, proved to be in arrear of Wide-street tax. Counsel for the Sitting Member consented, and they were accordingly struck off the poll. Augustus Frederick Pemberton was objected to by the Counsel for Mr. O'Connell, as included in the Police class disqualified by a former resolution. It appeared in evidence that the voter was a Pay-clerk in the Secretary's-office of the Police establishment, and his name entered upon the books as belonging thereto. Mr. TIIESSIGER appeared to sustain the vote, and contended that Pemberton was not appointed under the 48th George 111., but by the Secretary. He felt bound to his client to contest every case where opposition could be considered of any avail. There was a period of the enquiry when he could afford to surrender a vote or two to the opposite side without a sigh, but they had now arrived at a period of the investigation when every one became of immense importance to the sitting member or to the petitioners ; and the result might depend upon a single case. He therefore should press his views upon the Committee, in the confident hope that they would decide in his favour. After a short deliberation it was resolved— _ _ " That it appears to 'this Committee that no sufficient evi dence has been adduced to show that the situation held by Augustus Frederick Pemberton was an appointment under the 49th George 111, chapter 140, and his vote must therefore be allowed."

Irll?l,tin the co HARDY V. PASS AND ANOTHER. This was an action for an assault and false imprisonment, tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, at the Chester Assizes. The facts were briefly as follow :—The plaintiff had some dispute with other members of his family, relative to the possession of a house which he claimed as heir-at-law and agent to his mother, and having been shut out, and re fused admittance, he attempted, at a very late hour of the night, to effect a forcible entry. The defendants, who are constables, took him into custody on the ground that he was committing or about to commit a breach of the peace. The plaintiff remained in custody during that night, and the following morning he was brought before Mr. Traver, a ma gistrate and discharged. Mr. Justice Coleridge left it to the Jury to say whether the defendents had reasonable ground for apprehending that a breach of the peace was about to be com , ,„, _ _ tb,. A rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Judge, and of the verdict being against evidence, was subsequently obtained by Mr. Cottingham. Mr. EVANS now appeared to show cause against that rule, and quoted Dalton's Justice, Vol. 1., page 116, sec. 3, to show that where there are violent threats or attempts to com mit a breach of the peace, a constable may arrest a party and bring him before a Magistrate. The same rule was laid down in Bacon's Abridgement—" If a constable sees a person in an affray, or on the point of entering on an affray, he may carry the offender before a Justice of the Peace, or imprison him until he has given security that he will not commit a breach of the peace." The Learned Counsel concluded that, on these grounds, the Judge was perfectly justified in submitting the question to the Jury, whether the defendants bad reasonable grounds for apprehending a breach of the peace—that there was no misdirection, and therefore no ground for disturbing the verdict. Mr. JERVIS and Mr. COTTINGHAM were heard in support of the rule. _ The COURT was of opinion that there was no breach of the peace, which could authorise the defendants in arresting the party. There were sufficient grounds, certainly, in the plain tiff's conduct for an action of trespass, and if the inhabitants of the house had called in the constables to turn the plaintiff out, they would have done perfectly right. But the defend ants had no right, under such circumstances, to take the plain tiff and lock him up for a night, and then bring him before a Magistrate. The rule, therefore, for setting aside the verdict must be made absolute. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ENGLAND V. BELL. The defendant in this case was a publican, keeping the Mercers' Arms. On the 20th of May last the plaintiff was in his house, and was so riotous and noisy, that in order to keep the peace of the house, and to enable him to continue his busi ness, the defendant was obliged to put him out. That having been done, the plaintiff kept creating a disturbance around the door, and made several attempts to get in ; a mob collected, and the defendant, unable to carry on his business, was obliged to give him into the custody of a policeman, and he was in custody six hours and a half. He brought an action, which was tried before the LORD CHIEF 13Artox ; the defendant jus tified, and the Jury found a verdict for him. Mr. PLATT had moved for and obtained a rule to enter the verdict for the plaintiff upon the third plea, as it did not justify the giving of the plaintiff into custody for the threatening to break in and continue his annoyances. Mr. WORDSWORTH contended that the verdict ought to stand. The defendant was surely justified in giving the plain tiff into custody, when he attempted to break into his house, when he created a mob around his door, threatened to continue thosa.attempts, ankso put an gpd to Ole business of the defen dant during the continuatiotrilf4tigl4lolent conduct. There was here an affray which had not been put an end to, and of course such being the case, this was within the principles laid down by the Court in the case of Timothy and Simpson, and the rule must be discharged. Mr. PLATT contended that the defendant could not be jus tified in giving the plaintiff into custody, as there was evi dently no riot going on, and even a policeman or constable would not be justified in depriving a man of his liberty from threats. The COURT held that it was all one transaction, and dis charged the rule. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, APRIL 25. —Wind N.
