Quid pro THE PRIZE COMEDY. to Quo; or The Day of Dupes, the comedy which the Prize Comedy Committee unanimously awarded th e pr i ze of 5001. proposed by Mr. Webster, /or the best prose comedy illustrative of British Manners and customs, was produced last evening, and, as might have been expected, the House was crowded to excess in every part. Long before the curtain drew .there was not a nook or corner of the house unoccupied. Boxes, pit, galleries were all crammed -- even the seats behind the pillars in the second tier of boxes, whence it is all but impossible to, catch a glimpse of the stage—were oc cupied. It would have been impossible by any conceivable means to have crammed ten more Persons into any part of the house. The overture ha ving been performed, Mr. Webster came forward and spoke a prologue, of which the following is a copy "If, an eetablish'd rule from age to age }lath authorised the lessons of the stage, With comedy the pleasant duty lies To paint the manners living as they rise;' Present fair folly's face reflected here, School with a smile, and chasten by a sneer; 'Tis time to turn some newer page, and show Life as it is, and manners as they go ! Th e way to keep him' keeps no lover now ; All in the wrong' forestalls no broken vow; Fie wigs and stiff brocades our faith defeat, - And trite. moralities are obsolete ! s ententious prose bath said its parting say; ;:,team, with a thousand arms, bath clear'd the way; No railroad waits for speechifying man,- - The world's a game of Catch him if you can !' " But if, in its perplex'd and motley scene, Some pleasant interludes there intervene, Th e stage should show—a true and wise recorder, Confusion, worse confounded, brought to order I Such is our aim !—To-night, our cost and care Would picture—English manners as they are. Be yours the kind requital of our task! A patient audience is the boon we ask. Submitted long to your supreme behest, Writer and manager have done their best. Should you condemn. to your decree we bow, • But oh ! in justice, hear us, HEAR Us NOW." 4 . After the pr o logue, which was we ll received, the cur- Lain rose, and discovered to us the exterior of a coun try at which Lieut. Henry- Grigson, P.N. (Mr. II011), and Capt. Sippett Mr. Buckstone) have Just arri ve d per railroad—the Lieutenant to meet by the 1 30 intment his aunt, Mrs. Grigson (Mrs. Glover), Wife of a retired-tradesman, residing in the neigh bourhood, and the Captain, who is an inveterate tuft hunter, to proceed to the seat of the Earl of Huns :l" (Mr. St uar t), to superintend th e ge tti ng up o f •,,le private theatricals. Lord Bellamont (M rs . 4Nisbett), an Eton boy, the eldest son of the Earl, a° admirable specimen of the aristocracy of the race course and the betting-room, arrives to drive th e Capt a i n i n hi s p h ae t on t o Hunsdon Castle, and his k,ordship having learned from Sippett that Henry is the nep h ew o f " H o ll y h oc k L o d ge, " as he ter the it, Hollyhock Lodge being the place o f th e Grigsons, determines to indulge in the luxury of L tli zzing a snob, and is on the point of drawing down ;nil himself the summary punishment of the said when Sippett very adroitly gets him off the Bro und, by d raw i ng hi s a tt en ti on t o th e country and a tai siog the horses in his - phaeton.

True, it is, that they • froere betrothed as children, with the consent of Grigson, but since that period Grigson has retired t1,1.01n business, set up as a fine gentleman, become t'e intimate associate of Lord Hunsdon, and so de . Li ri l;ined a worshipper of rank that he will not suffer th ' s daughter to wed any one save a lord. In order, th,erefore, to win the old man's favour, she proposes at lienry, who has been at sea ever since he was 4 ' te en, should introduce himself as a nobleman ; and he has been for some years messmate with Lord . I,l`gerrion Fitzurse, second son of the Marquis of L ; antgnet, it is determined that he shall introduce B , r 'self to old Grigson under that title. In the next (Vitt. we are introduced to the Earl of Hunsdon We Stuart) and his agent, Mr. Cogit (Mr. Tilbury).

Henry enters as Lord Al. le„ "c and is, of course, received by Jeremy in the fussily ceremonious manner imaginable, to the l'i n e at delight of Mrs. Grigson. The Countess of • tla -lis dcm (Mrs. W. Clifford), accompanied by her 4 11 11 ( 1 4lit er, Lady Mary Rivers (Miss .Julia Bennett), pn r SiPpett, are announced.

Her affections i(is',:elog been bestowed upon Rivers (Mr. Howe), k o , -4 , 14 11 to the Earl, and nephew to Sir George It ( `tent (iklr. W.

This love s nearly discovered through the prying pro tiati,ltts'es of Bridget Prim (capitally acted by Mrs. str i - ",,,Y), the servant of the Grigsons. However, old 4 114 tk "rigson treats all Bridget's hints with contempt, h b ! . 'e real state of the young young lady's affections ti4lls undiscovered. The scene then changes to h e s i rn Castle, where Rivers has joined Mordent, (11 ' 1 1 1: a d imagined that Lady Mary was the object Sot secret attentions, but finding that such is tiNe:aeti-s:trteaal se, he introduces him as Mr. Francis, a g musician, who is desirous of superintending the arrangements of the private theatricals. tot Sippett and Lord Bellamont begin to sus • 'le truth as regards Henry, and, in order to 1 •1 g .4 rcatters to a crisis, they spread a report that Lord !

However opinions may differ as to the merits of the comedy, there could be but one opinion of the public spirit of Mr. Webster in offering the prize of 500/. May his efforts in the cause of the British drama be amply rewarded. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday morning in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. The King of Saxony, attended by his Excellency Baron Gersdorff, Lord Charles Wellesley, M. de Minck witz, Count Albert Vitzthum, Baron de Reichardt, and Ili'.

THE KING OF SAXONY'S VISIT TO THE CITY, AND THE OPENING OF THE CITY OF LONDON STATUE OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The Lord Mayor having invited th e Ki ng of Saxony on the occasion of his Majesty's contemplated visit to the public buildings of the City, and his Majesty having appointed yesterday, and, at the same time, expressed his wish that ceremony should be dispensed with as much as possible, the necessary preparations were made in accordance with that request. The Lord Mayor re ceived the King, who arrived a little after ane o'clock, at the great gate of the Mansion-house, in the neighbour hood of which immense crowds were assembled, partly congregated in consequence of the report of his Majes ty's entrance into the City, and partly on account of the opening of the noble statue of the Duke of Wellington n front of the Royal Exchange. His Majesty having viewed the principal rooms in the Mansion house, and expressed his admiration of the Egyptian-hall, the lobby, and the far-famed convivial apartments on the same floor, proceeded, accompanied by the Lord Mayor, to the Old Bailey, where he sat for a considerable time most attentively listening to the trial of a prisoner for housebreaking, and seemed particu larly struck with the mode of cross-examination adopted by the Learned Gentlemen of the Central Criminal Court. His Majesty, was heard to observe to the Lord -Mayor that he had often r e ad o f th e proceed i ngs of the Court, all he had read could not adequately repre sent the practical effect. The length of time the King remained in the Court, which was until the conclusion of the case, which was tried by the Learned Recorder with his usual skill and diligence, prevented his Majesty from paying move than a very hasty visit to the interior of the gaol, but he expressed great interest in all that he witnessed there. His Majesty then returned with the Lord -Mayor to the Mansion-house, where a most splendid dejeune a /a fourchette was prepared in the Long Parlour, in Birch's most sumptuous style, consisting of the richest deli. cacies and wines of the highest order. As his Majesty had expressed a wish that his visit should be treated in an unceremonious and private manner, the Lord Mayor limited his invitations to about thirty ladies and gen tlemen. While the King was at breakfast at the Mansion-house, Mr. John Masterman, M.P. for the City of London, and Sir Peter Laurie, waited upon his Majesty and the Lord Mayor, as a deputation from the Royal Exchange and Gresham Trust Committee, to notify that they were about to open the statue of the Duke of Wellington, and to beg that his Lordship would signify t o hi s roya l guest, that they hoped his Majesty would honour them by witnessing the ceremony. The King, upon hearing the Duke of Wellington's name, expressed the most anxious desire to be present upon an occasion of doing honour to so illustrious a man, and proposed to the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, and the ladies and gentle men at the table,: to proceed immediately to the spot on which the statue of the Duke was to be unfolded to the public gaze. • At this moment the spacious streets of the immediate neigiabourhood were not only densely crowded, but the very tops d the houses in the adjoining parts of Corn hill, Mansion-house-street, the Poultry, King William street, and - Princes-street,"" were occupied by shouting multitudes. The king walked arm in arm with the Lord Mayo!, through masses of people from the gates of the Mansion-house throtigh the entrance to the space assigned for. the chairman and committee, and was most warmly recaived. Here it ig necessary to introduce some account of the proceedings of the Royal Exchange and Gresham Trust Committee on the occasion of opening the statue of the immortal Wellington. At cue o'clock the Royal Exchange and Gresham Trust Committee, several of the Aldermen, the trustees for the Statile of the Duke of Wellington, the executors of the late Sir Francis Chantrey, who commenced and executed the most important parts of the statue, and some gentlemen of high commercial eminence, as sembled at the Guildhall, with the object of going in pro cession ta perform the ceremony. They sat down to a v ery elegant dejeune a la fourchette, provided by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion Tavern, andafterhgavrienagt drunk " the Queen," and " the Prince," amidst cheering, were addressed by Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, the chairman, in a speech eulogistic of the extra ordinary man in whose honour they were all assembled that day. He called the attention of the company not only to the transcendent national services of the Duke of Wellington, but to the remarkable exertions made by his Grace to serve the City of London, by his advocacy of improvenfents which could not have been accomplished without his vigorcus, resolute, and powerful aid.—(Loud h c h a e d e rs.) I stood to t was rwa r neverforward to procure be forgottenthat n di d the approaches to London-brige, after having carried the bridge itself in oppositiop to the strenuous labours of Members of the same House, who atte m pted in vain to degrade it as a job.—(Loud cheerti.) The toast" was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, as were thosel'of " The Lord Mhyor," " The Gresham Committee,'! " Mr. R. L. Jones," " The Executors of Sir F. Chanry," and " Mr. Simpson.' The Chateman and Committee and tLe other gentle- MONUMENT TO SIR DAVID WILKIE. The monument to Sir David Wilkie is now erected in the church of Cults. It is truly an exquisite work of art. So striking is the likeness, that many of the pa rishioners who have seen it discovered at once the fea tures of the man whom it is designed to represent. The inscription is as follows : Sacred to the memory of SIR DAVID WILKIE, R.A., Principal Painter in Ordinary in England, and Limner for Scotland, To King George IV., King William IV., and Queen Victoria— Born at Cults, 18th of November, 1785 ; died Ist June, 1841 ; buried at sea, off Cape Trafalgar. As the painter of domestic scenes, his works were the ornament alike of the palace and the cottage. Through life he was guided and animated by those sacred principles to which he had often listened when a boy in this place, from a Father's lips. In order to acquire the accurate means of illustrating by his art the history of our Saviour, he departed for the Holy Land, and died on the homeward voyage. This tablet is erected by his affectionate sister in 1844. Sir David is placed on the east, and the monument to his father and mother by Chantrey on the west of the pulpit—each of them within a few inches of it.—Fife Herald. SUGAR DUTIES.

SIR.,—To those who know that I have had something to do with the Court Gazette, and yet know not what, I beg to state that since three months ago I have been assisting the publisher in the advertisement department, quite unknown to the editors and proprietors of what country I was ; the employment, having no connexion whatever with the press, I undertook upon the ground of the sympathy which that paper showed sometimes to the cause of Poland. The article published on the Sa turday before last, on account of the arrival of the Em peror of Russia, bears quite a different character, being written entirely in prejudice to the Poles. However, though the account might be differently viewed by many, yet what belongs individually to me, the circumstance is sufficient to interdict me anything whatever to have to do In the above office, and to resign the employment di rectly. Having done so, I hope you will appreciate my motives, and therefore not refuse to allow publicity to my present statement through the medium of your co lumns.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 14, 1844.

L. Jones, the Chairman of the Royal Exchange Committee. The Master of the Mercers' Company. Mr. John Masterman, M.P., and Sir P. Laurie, Trustees for the Statue. Executors of Sir F. Chantrey. Aldermen. Court of Mercers' Company. Mr. Tite, the Architect of the Royal Exchange. Members of the Royal Exchange and Gresham Trustees Committee. City. Officers. The Duke of Wellington's band struck up the National Anthem as the King of Saxony and the Lord Mayor en tered the space before the statue, and the Committee received his Majesty with acclamations. The King ap peared to be overwhelmed with astonishment at the scene which presented it s elf, and declared that he never beheld such an extraordinary multitude. The Com mittee having walked twice round the statue, the cover ing of which was removed instantaneously amidst cheers from all around, Mr. R. L. JONES said he thought it necessary, as it naturally might be expected, that he should state to his Majesty, on behalf of the Trustees and Committee, why they were assembled on that day on that spot. They met to pay a grateful tribute to one of the greatest men ever produced by this or any other country. It was needless for him to say that he meant the Duke of Wel lington.—(lmmense cheering.) It would ill become him to say one word about the transcendent merits of that great men, because those merits were known and ac knowledged by the whole civilised world. The citizens of London felt it peculiarly incumbent upon them to erect a statue to that illus trious person by subscription, and with the aid of the Government, who had supplied the metal from the guns which Wellington himself had taken from the enemy, they had succeeded in thus proving their grati tude.—(Great cheering.) This monument of a living warrior had been framed by the hands of a great artist, now no more, and it was a gratifying fact that it was the first equestrian bronze statue which had ever been raised during the life of the person represented. Never had either king or subject the opportunity of seeing himself so represented before.—(Cheers.) Independently of the vast military renown of the Duke of Wellington, the claim of his Grace upon the protection of the citizens of London for advancing its interests by promoting the improvements and embellishments which the visitors to this great City looked upon with wonder, was such that they were determined to give effect to that feeling in a way which posterity would be well able to appreciate, and would leave an example worthy of imitation.— (Cheers.) The King pulled off his hat, and joined as heartily as any one in the immense multitude. His Majesty, after having taken a view of the interor of the Royal Exchange, over which his Majesty was shown by the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Tite, the architect, returned with his Lordship, loudly cheered all the way to the Mansion-house, where he sat down and finished his repast. His Majesty afterwards accompanied the Lord Mayor to the Temple, and visited the ancient Church, the Hall, and Library, and at six o'clock the King took his leave of the Lord Mayor, having expressed the greatest delight at all he had witnessed in the ancient and ho nourable City of London. By the direction of the Commissioner of the City Police, such arrangements were made as prevented the slightest confusion. The police, by the acknowledgment of all, conducted themselves with remarkable skill and judgment, and the vast population in the streets appeared to be highly gratified at the very interesting exhibition of the day. LITERATURE. WESTMINSTER REVIEW. No. LXXXI. Clarke, London; 1844. The first article in the Number before us is de voted to a consideration of the public character and conduct of the present Home Secretary, from the period when he commenced his political career —now nearly a quarter of a century since—as a Whig "and something more," down to the present day, when he sits in a front seat on the Treasury benches as an official supporter of the Tory principle of legislation. The Right Hon. Baronet will assuredly not be best pleased with the comments which the Reviewer is pleased to make on his various changes in politics; and still less with the numerous significant extracts which he gives from the once well-known, but now almost wholly forgotten pamphlet on "Corn and Currency," which the Home Secretary published in .the year 1826, and the principles advocated in which he has long since seen cause to repudiate. But though the article is certainly severe, it is by no means an unjust one; and if it blames his frequent political inconsistency, it does justice to his temperate and judicious management of the navy, when he was First Lord of the Admiralty, under the Grey Admi ministration. " New Spirit of the Age" is a notice of Mr. Horne's recently-published work under this title. The Reviewer admits him to be a man of talent, but denies him the possession of genius, and observes, in reference to his last quality :—" Genius, that is, the power of creation, we take to be an ema nation of the divinity that shapes our ends, and can no more work for hire than God himself could in the creation of the world." Surely this is not the fact. Walter Scott and Lord Byron were both men of genius, yet both of them avowedly "worked for hire ;" so too did Moore, when tempted by 'the bribe of three thousand guineas to compose his splendid poem of " Lalla Rookh." Moreover, are not Brunel and Stevenson, the engineers, men of genius, and do they not realise a handsome fortune by the diligent exercise of that faculty ? In the majority of in stances our men of genius in modern times have been men of the world also, who have no notion of giving the rich fruits of their intellect to the world, except for a handsome equivalent. " Alison's History of Europe" is a thoughtful and carefully reasoned essay, in which the consummate military abilities of the Emperor Napoleon —perhaps the greatest master of the art of war that the world ever saw—are alluded to in a discriminating spirit. We must confess, how ever, that it is with no little difficulty that we bring ourselves to think otherwise than with horror and detestation of these magnificent military despots— the wholesale plunderers-and murderers of their fel low -creatures. In the article on the " Affairs of India" the Reviewer rejoices in the recal of Lord Ellenborough, and the appointment of his successor, Sir Henry Hardinge, " whose experience and firm ness of character," he says, " afford the promise of a happy dawn to millions." We quote the following , sketch of the Home Secretary's character as a poli tician and a Minister:— " On the whole review of Sir James Graham's po • litical life and opinions, we find one point, and only one (his championship of the Irish Church being not per fectly clear of exceptions) from which, so far as we know, he has never swerved :—viz., that the class of mortgaged and indebted landowners are a class worthy of special legislative protection. On this point, we believe we may pronounce his public character to be without spot or blemish of inconsistency. The doctrine has shaped itself differently in his mind, at different times : once it was the sponge, now it is the sliding scale, that must 'save the aristocracy," preserve the landowners' estates' from harpy creditors, and prevent the landed property of England from changing hands:' —but, however the means may have varied, the end has always been the same—either by adjustment of incum brances, or by protection of rents, to save insolvent owners of land from breaking. This is Sir James Gra ham's strong point. This is the one light speck in the general haze—the dot of terra firma in the chaos. Sir James Graham may fairly boast that, amidst incon sistencies and self-contradictions without number, he has always been consistent to the principle that the landed aristocracy and gentry must have Acts of Parliament put between them and their creditors—must have their debts paid, or somehow provided for, at the public cost. His sympathies h ave b e e n , through life, with a class of men the most mischievous that any country can be cursed with—the needy people of quality, the insolvent lords and gentlemen, the opulent knaves, who cannot live without their hands in other people's pockets. We do not know what, if any, may be the Netherby Ba ronet's individual interest in the maintenance of this doctrine of the right of landowners to have their debts provided for by Act of Parliament, and have no disposi tion to inquire. Nor is it necessary to waste words in discussing the honesty of it. The political morality which protects and patronises the great opulent knave interest fitly accompanies the political religion which stands up for the purity and integrity of the Church of England in Ireland. These two are the only net pro duct that we can find of Sir James Graham's political life. After striking out all the inconsistencies and con tradictions—balancing and neutralising every plus with its corresponding minus—these are all that the equation gives us. It would be scarcely fair to close our estimate of Sir James Graham's political character, without ac knowledging that he possesses, in a high degree, many of the qualities of a useful servant of the State, His administrative abilities are, we believe, generally allowed, by those who have the best opportunities of judging, to be of the first class. He is a ready, capable man, both in office and in Parliament, with a fine talent for getting through business. He made an excellent First Lord of the Admiralty ; and improved the efficiency of the navy while curtailing its expenditure. Although he refused to abolish impressment, he placed two Acts on the Statute Book calculated to diminish its necessity and mi tigate its practical oppressiveness. Unfortunately for the public, his present share in the Ministerial cast of parts is one in which mere administrative dexterity is but a poor set. off against a shabby spirit, a rough tem per, and an unscrupulous partisan conscience. As a Home Secretary, Sir James Graham is one of the worst and most dangerous Ministers we have had these twenty years." NAND-8008 FOR CENTRAL EUROPE. Hughes, London, 1844. The compiler of this volume, Mr. Coghlan, is wei known for his numerous guide-books, which have proved of great service to our tourists in the summer and autumn seasons. His present work is on a larger scale than any of his preceding ones, and con tains minute, practical directions for travellers through Belgium, Holland, the Rhine, Germany, Switzerland, and France, together with a full description of Paris, the Channel Islands, and the fashionable continental spas, and a list of the steam-packets to and from all the foreign ports. LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND Vol Vii. Colburn, London, 1844. The Life of Queen Elizabeth, with which the authoress, aware of the interest and importance of the subject, has: taken unusual pains, is brought to a close in this volume. It is by far the completest and most of this great Soverei gn ; an d i t possesses t h e a ddi t i onal circumstantial recommendation being wholly free from anything like fulsome eulogium. The documentary evidence brought forward by the authoress is exceedingly copious, and much of it will be new to the majority of our readers; but the most interesting portion of the work is that which describes the death-bed of Elizabeth, and the intrigues of the Ministers and the courtiers the instant they became aware of the utter hopelessness of her recovery. The portrait of the Queen, prefixed by way of frontispiece to the memoir, represents her as being much more comely in feature than she:has been generally supposed to be. TRAVELS IN KORDOFAN. Madden, London, 1844. From the preface to this volume of travels we learn that the author, Mr. Ignatius Pallme, a Bohemian by birth, undertook the journey to Kordofan, of which he here professes to give an account, on commission for a mercantile establishment at Cairo, in the hope of discovering new channels of traffic with Central Africa. In the pursuit of his object, he remained longer in the country than any European had ever done before him ; and the information which he fur nishes us with respecting the existing condition of this province of Egypt may consequently be looked on as strictly authentic. But though M. Pallme's volume abounds in useful information, it is not, generally speaking, very entertaining, in its character, for the author's mode of narration is dry and matter-of-fact, and he lays too much stress on matters of trivial mo ment. His account of the present state of slaves in Kordofan will be read with attention by those inte rested in this most complicated and difficult question, which seems to bid defiance to all attempts at a satis factory settlement; but we prefer quoting instead his description of the Sheikhs or saints who, it appears, are treated with a world of respect, not to say, rever ence, throughout the entire province of Kordofan : These Sheikhs, or saints, are what we call idiots. They are unfortunate beings, who, although neglected by nature, are considered in this country as:direct apostles from God, to inform the children of men of their destiny. These poor wretches are all but idolized, ever one Whenthey anxious to show them the ut mos t respect. they walk out in the streets, they are stopped by old and young, who kiss their face, hands, and even their feet, and offer them everything they wish for. Beings of this description aro generally very apathetic, and accept little or nothing; they are, in fact, generally to be met dressed in the most disgusting clothes, in rags, or utterly naked, although they would be provided with the finest raiment if they merely expressed the slightest wish. Their parents, sisters, or other relations, on the other hand, know how to turn their misfortune to the best account, and accept considerable presents for their intercession with these saints, or for procuring others an opportunity of consulting this oracle. They give the most absurd and ridiculous answers to questions that are put to them, partly as a consequence of their fatuity, and partly be cause taught to do so; it is, indeed, scarcely possible at times to guess at their meaning. The more absurd the answer, the more contented is the party interested; and absolutely delighted, if he can only make out a single word of the whole rhodomontade which in the-sli g htest agrees with his wishes. To these saints the women flock in numbers to beg for fertility. Besides these Sheikhs, there are others, and Fakeers, who write amulets, which the women wear on_their arms, or heads, firmly believing that their most fervent wishes will be then fulfilled. The latter profession is exceedingly lucra tive, and I have seen several persons who have made a small fortune in this manner, and very well understood the art of imposing on the people, and of persuading them to purchase a fresh charm, although experience must have convinced them of the futility of the last." MISSION TO THE COURT OF VIENNA. Longman, London, 1844. The diplomatic mission to Vienna, of which this volume furnishes us with a memoir, was undertaken by the Right Hon. Sir Robert Adair, at a most critical period in our history—namely, the year 1806, shortly after Pitt's death, and when Fox had just succeeded to office as Foreign Secretary of State. The volume consists for the most part of official documents, bearing on the negotiations between this country and Austria, whose power had been recently crippled by the decisive battle of Austerlitz ; but though supplying admirable authentic materials of some future historian of that feverish period, when an apprehension of the ambitious views of Napoleon was the one general feeling of Europe, yet these documents will be of little interest to the majority of readers, for they are, with few exceptions, dry, business-like State dispatches, whose tact and sagacity can only be appreciated by those who are conversant with the complicated politics of thosse times. Sir Robert Adair appears to have a cqu itt e d himself with signal dexterity in his diplomatic mis sion, and possessed the most full and entire confidence of Fox, of whose principles he was a cordial supporter, and of whose foreign policy the volume before us may in some degree be considered as the defence. It is dedicated to Lord Grey in a brief address, wherein the author gracefully and touchingly observes, " accept the work in the name of our fifty years' friendship, increasing on my side in veneration as life and its business reced e f rom me ;" and is introduced ' by a neat, sententious preface, in the course of which Sir Robert Adair explains the reasons that induced a large portion of the upper and middle classes to re gard Mr. Fox as the advocate of unconstitutional and revolutionary principles. OUR ACTRESSES. 2 Vols. Smith and Elder, London, 1844, ' These volumes consist of a series of biographical no tices, accompanied with brief cursory criticisms on their talents, of the most eminent actresses and vocalists that have appeared on the London boards within the memory of the present generation. The authoress is Mrs. Cornwall Wilson, who is already favourably knovtrn to the play-going portion of the community, by her Memoir of the Duchess of St. Albans. Her present work is slight and gossipping in its character, and has the recommendation, by no means common with biography, of being penned throught in a kindly and tolerant spirit. The critical portion of it is the weakest, for Mrs. Wilson appears to be no very dis criminating judge of theatrical excellence; but as her remarks are uniformly put forth without assumption or pedantry, we feel no disposition to bear hardly upon them. The volumes are embellished with half-length Portraits of some of the most distinguished of our female performers, among whom the authoress justly allots a prominent station to Mrs. Nisbett, undoubtedly the most finished comic actress of the day. We quote the following passages from the memoir of this lady : " Mr. Nisbett was a most amiable and affectionate husband ; and the widow's anguish may be conceived, but cannot be described. It is said that a friend was one day condoling with Mrs. Nisbett on the loss of her husband. Husband !' cried the lovely widow, wiping a tear from her brilliant eye— "' He never was a husband.' " ' How ?' cried her friend, in astonishment. "' No ;—from the day of our marriage —he always remained NY LOVER r " The unexpected death of Captain Nisbett—who was not, as may be supposed, much of a man of business, caused perplexity on pecuniary points ; there were dis puted claims to property, and some interested parties threw the affair into Chancery ! Chancery ! there is ruin—perspective beggary in the very name ! " During the Chancery proceedings Mrs. Nisbett thought it prudent, for the sake of her own near, and we may add, dear relatives, to re-enter the theatrical profession ; a profession which she had quitted under such happy auspices : and, accordingly, in October, 1832, she re-appeared at Drury-lane. Her reception by the audience proved that they had not forgotten their old favourite, and that they could commisserate her in her recent bereavement, and encourage her exertions to counteract the frowns of fortune. She went through a long list of the leading characters in genteel comedy, on each night increasing her fame. Amongst her chef d'ceuvres were Rosalind, Beatrice, Violante, &c., &c. Bankruptcies, non-payment of salaries, insolence, attempts at imposition, and all the petty vexations which crept in with the degradation and downfal of our na tional theatres, at length induced Mrs. Nisbett to accept the cash-paid salary from an engagement at a minor theatre, in preference to promise to pay' at a major house. She passed through several engagements for limited periods (so as not to interfere with her provin cial engagements), at the Queen's, and also at the Strand Theatres. " At the Queen's Theatre we were present in Febru ary, 1835, to see Jerrold's new drama of the School fellows, in which Mrs. Nisbett sustained the leading character with great and deserved applause. On this evening there was a terrific outcry raised by the pittites against the' bonnets, which, at that time, were prepos terously large if at all fashionable. The performance was for some time suspended with the cry of off bon nets' not being attended to. One little gentlemen, whose patience could no longer endure the tower of Babel before his view, very coolly stretching out his arm, sud denly and somewhat uncourteously thrust the point of an umbrella into the crown of the brobdignagian head de fender that interrupted his view of the stage, and car ried off its straw-built roof on the ferrule of his con quering weapon, to the no small amusement of beholders, but to the great dismay and enragement of the fair but obstinate wearer. We are sorry to speak in terms of censure of our own sex, but really on this point they are very unaccommodating, and deserve to suffer for their tenacity. " Oa the evening in question, entreaty had failed to remove the 'brobdignagian nuisance as it was called ; skirmish after skirmish took place between female heads and umbrella points, rendering the performance inau dible. At last a jolly tar, with lungs like a speaking trumpet in a gale of wind, got upon the seat, and roared out—' Them as is gentlewomen is expecsed to take off them helephant bonnets ; them as don't pretend to be sitch, may keep them on.' The effect of this odd ad dress was like magic, the pride of every female took alarm, and in a minute all the blue bonnets were over the border,' to the great amusement as well as accommo dation of many of the audience." GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP.---A. curious dis pute has arisen between the Peninsular Company and the Great Western Company. The former, it appears, pur chased the ship, the Great 'Western, for 32,000 L, the owners undertaking to do whatever the Admiralty sur veyors might deem necessary to qualify the vessel for the mail service. A considerable delay taking place in com pleting a set of new boilers on the tubular principle, some time was requested and granted. All being ready, a trial was had down the Severn, under the inspection of the Admiralty surveyor, who found all right with the excep tion of the supply of steam, on which he declined to pass the survey. Some alterations having been made in the boilers, the vessel was announced as ready for a second trial, at the request of the owners. A delay of a few days occurring in sending the Admiralty surveyor down, the owners, with Captain Claxton, the manager, took on themselves to withhold the vessel, thus virtually cancelling the con tract, and, without notice to the Peninsular Company, ad vertised her departure for New York. The Peninsular Company feeling that, whatever the delay might have been, it was not to be laid to their account, but to that of the Admiralty, and not disposed to yield to this summary extinguishment of what was considered a desirable pur chase, an application was made to the Court of Chancery to prohibit the vessel being sent to sea, and immediately granted. Thus both this Company's vessels may be said to be in Chancery, the one, the Great Britain, in the Bristol dock, the other in Westminster-hall. Odds are now laid as to which of these ships will be first discharged of the ne exeat regno. The Peninsular Company have been obliged to dis patch another vessel, the Lady Mary Wood, in place of the Great Western, with the Alexandria mails.—Liverpoo l FRENCH MEN OF WAR.—The arrival of the Danae, French frigate, of 56 guns, at Brest, puts an end to an idle story which is reported in a Barbadoes paper, re ceived this week, that the Dublin, of 50 guns, Captain Tucker, had been sunk, with her colours flying, by three French frigates, for having given protection to the Queen Pomare, who had taken refuge on board of her. The Danae was one of the frigates at Tahiti, and she mentions nothing of such an event. The French garrison at the Marquesas was in distress for clothes and money, having had no pay for fifteen months, and nothing but salt provisions. The French navy is certainly moving about much more actively than formerly. We observe that on the sth April the 60-gun frigate Sirene, together with the Victorieuse and the Re cherche, left the Cape of Good Hope, for China; and on the 27th March the Erigone, 50-gun frigate, left the same station for Brest ; at the same time the man-of-war Colibri left the Isle of France for the Isle of Bourbon.—Hampshire Telegraph. FEROCIOUS ATTACK BY A BULL.--A few days ago, William Binnington, a servant in the employ of Mr. Jackson, of Old Sunderlandwick Hall, near Driffield, went to look after his master's st oc k, amongst which was a bull, which made a ferocious attack upon him, and being unable to escape from the reach of the infu riated animal, he was dreadfully gored. His cries for help, and the bellowings of the savage beast, were heard by some children at play near the farm, who imme diately gave the alarm ; M r . Jackson immediately called together all his men, and, having armed themselves, proceeded to rescue the poor man from his perilous situation. When released, he presented the appearance of a mass of gore and wounds ; and his clothes were torn into tatters. His collar bone was found to be broken, and his ribs much damaged. On different parts of the body were large gaping wounds, besides being much bruised all ove r . O n th e arr i va l f Mr. Simpson, surgeon, of Hutton Cranswick, he found the man in a very exhausted state, and fast sinking, but by careful restoratives, o persever i ngthe efforts s andof was then able to have his wounds dressed and sewed u p, thelife were administration re anated of , andprophee proper a and his bones properly adjusted. Up to Tuesday last he was going on with the hopes of an ultimate recovery. Hull Advertiser. CAUTION.—ALARM or FIRE.—On Tuesday night last the troops at Devonport were turned out by an alarm of fire which had broken out in the Mount Wise Barracks. It ap peared that one of the young officers of the 44th Regiment had gone to bed with a cigar in his mouth, reading, and falling asleep, set fire to his bed, which together with his clothes, &c., was destroyed; the fire, however, was got under without doing any further damage.—Demport Telegraph. THE HEIGHT OF IMPUDENCE' Many illustrations of this phrase will doubtless be famihar to our readers, but we believe it was scarcely ever so success fully realised as at the Mansion-house yesterday. The King of Saxony had honoured the Lord Mayor with his presence at a collation, at which a very small pa r ty o f private friends we re invited to meet his Majesty. Judge what must have been the surprise of his Majesty and of his hos pitable host, when, in the midst of the repast, the folding doors were thrown open, and without any further announce ment than the exclamation of an usher, " A deputation, my Lord," Sir Peter Laurie and Mr. Masterman presented themselves to the astonished company. The Lord Mayor, in evident amazement, begged to know to what accident he was indebted for the unexpected intrusion, and Mr. Master man explained that the object was to request the presence of the King of Saxony , at the ceremonial of opening the statue of the Duke of Wellington to the public. The Lord Mayor suggested that no preparations had been made. " Oh ! never mind," quoth Sir Peter, " I know th e Ki ng is a very ac ti ve man, f or — l saw that when he lately went over Bedlam with me." With singular propriety, Sir Peter has a good deal to do with that establishment. Again the Lord Mayor urged that his Majesty was taken by surprise, and requested " the deputation " to retire to another room, when an answer should be sent to them. But Sir Peter showed no inclination to " leave the warm precincts of the cheerful" dining-room, and repeated that " the King was an active man," adding, that there must be no delay, as "all the people were waiting." It was evidently of no use to resist further, though the Lord Mayor hinted the necessity of ordering the carriages. No carriages, however, would be permitted by the bustling Sir Peter. He insisted that the King must walk, and he would be responsible for his Majesty's safety ! Accordingly, in spite of the exertions of the Chief Magistrate to put an end to this unwarrantable intrusion on his Royal guest, and on the privacy of a few personal friends, the illustrious visitor was dragged to the site of the statue, amidst the pressure of a crowd which the City Police either could nut, or would not, keep at a decent distance--through a throng of journeymen masons, and over heaps of rubbish, to the spot where Sir Peter Laurie's pet effigy of the Duke was erected. There the King of Saxony was forced to stand through the delivery of an oration by Mr. Lambert Jones, with which his Majesty must have been extremely edified; and at the conclusion of this speech the Royal victim had again to wend his way back to the Man sion -house, from which he had been so ruthlessly dragged, and was at length left at liberty to conclude his repast. What an exalted notion his Majesty will carry home w ith him of the gravity an d d ecorum o f a 'London " deputation." The patience exhibited by the King, under this infliction, was only surpassed by the condescension and affability with which he accepted the elegant hospitality of the Lord Mayor, and exhibited generally during his visit to the City —Post. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Nothing could be more misplaced than the Pre mier's tragic remonstrances on Monday night at the conduct of his uncertain and desultory supporters. To read his ex postulations, one might imagine he was addressing rebellious children, or an ungrateful dependent, or faithless spouse. All the favour, all the confidence, is on his side. " Have I not made you what you are," he seems to say, " a prosperous and united family? Have I not taught you, and trained you, and admitted you to all the secrets of my heart? Do you not participate in a mighty design, conceived for your sole benefit? Why suddenly turn upon our only friend and leader—why band yourselves together against your lawful head—why daily with the treacherous foe?" We do not exaggerate a bit. Such was Sir Robert's tone. " Sir (says he, addressing the Speaker),if it be a matter of unimportance, we cannot consent to accede to the proposition." The Right Hon. Baronet, we are told, pronounced this with more than usual emphasis, and proceeded, after a pause, in atone forcibly expressive of wounded feeling—" It was carried by a combi nation of those who are our general supporters with our political opponents. If the measure, I repeat, be an unimportant one, in proportion to its unimportance it is significant of a want of confidence in our Administration." * * * " I may be wrong, but my impression is, that it was a precon certed arrangement between some of those who usually op pose and some of those who usually support us." In fact, everything—everything, that is to say, in the speech itself— was tending to a scene. It is impossible to say what we might not have had; Sir Robert on his knees, perhaps, un baring his bosom to the shafts of calumny, ingratitude, treachery, and all the rest of them, protesting his integrity to the skies, and flooding the house with his tears. But some very unkind interruptions spoilt the affair. " Ironical cheers and laughter" came in very awkwardly at the end of the sen tence, and broke the beautifully gradual descent of the pathos. So the worthy Baronet, unmanned for a moment, remembered his magnanimity and his figures. From affec tions unrequited, and confidence withdrawn, he returned with double energy to sugars, foreign and colonial, slave and free, clayed and refined. Indeed, in the very depth of the pa roxysm it must have occurred sometimes with rather a ludi crous force that a question whether a certain duty should be 20s. or 245., or whether a certain reduction should date from to-morrow or the 10th of November, or should be levied equally on all kinds, was hardly theme enough for so moving a declamation. If Sir Robert Peel's measures were the best ever conceived by the most consummate wisdom, inspired by the highest virtue, he would have no claim to the absolute confidence, the utter prostration of judgment, which he de mands ; for this plain reason—that his supporters are the very last persons in whom he reposes confidence. No confi dence can last which is not reciprocal. Sir Robert does not communicate with his supporters—does not prepare them— does not identify himself with them—does not stand by them—does not protect them—does not give them the small est credit, or the smallest share in his successes, such as they are. On the contrary, every step in his course is their hu miliation and confusion. He deals with them as with his most open enemies. He takes them by surprise at every turn. All his measures are coups d'etat. He brings them into a defile, with the enemy in their front, and some dread ful extremity in the rear, so as to cut off all retreat, and then says, " I don't trust yo u ; b u t you must f i ght or be destroyed to a man." Sir Robert acts like a Premier, and affects to talk like a friend. Will he just attempt to think and feel as a friend for one monient, while . We beg to suggest the following topics of meditation? He talks in heartrending terms of a measure "carried by a combination of those who are our general supporters with our political opponents." Does he not regularly lay himself out for the support of " political opponents ? " Does lie ever fail to overawe his "general supporters," whenever need be, with some Whig contingent, which he is always able and ready to purchase at the expense of those " gene ral supporters ?" Every Conservative knows that the moment he ventures to think for himself, he may expect to find the Whigs on his flank. Nay, more. As soon as Sir Robert finds a supporter troublesome, he does not scruple to deliver him, bound hand and foot, to any particular " politi cal opponent " he may find ready for the work. With a glance at the other side of the House, he strikes a compact that has all the force of " preconcerted arrangement," and forthwith his too conscientious supporter finds himself in the hands of his bitterest enemies, without either rescue or com miseration. A man must have a wonderful power of sponging conscience and memory who can act as Sir Robert has never failed to do when convenient, and yet can talk as he did on Monday evening. POST.—In the performance of pantomimes and ballets, when it is found convenient to convey to the audience some piece of information beyond what the powers of gesticulation can impart, it is usual to resort to the expedient of a printed placard. Thus the rule against plain-speaking is not in fringed, nor is the auditory left in the perplexity of ignorance. We respectfully recommend a s i m il ar d ev i ce to her Majesty ' s Prime Minister in the House of Commons. After what has happened, he need not be very delicate, and his chief aim ought to be the saving of time and trouble. Whenever a doubtful question comes before House, therefore, let him have a large placard erected behind his seat, stating that he does, or does not, intend to carry the question as he has proposed it to the House. Honourable Members (very Honourable in deed I) will thus be saved the trouble of coming down on a subsequent evening to rescind the vote to which, in the sim plicity of ignorance or misapprehension the House has pre viously come. It is clear that, with regard to the sugar duties question, a good many Members shared in the opinion avowed with so much naivete by that independent weekly journal the John Bull, that Ministers would be very well content to be beaten. They had great confidence in the duplicity and insincerity of their friends on the Treasury bench, and felt well assured that their friends, when pro posing their vote of Friday night, wished for nothing more than to make an appearance of an intention, while in reality their views accorded with the views of Mr. Miles. This turned out to 'be a mistake but it was a mistake at which we are not at all surprised. Some men are slow to shake off impressions and to acquire new ones. Gentlemen who had listened to the Pre mier in 1841, who had heard the contempt expressed by him for the cant of " cheap sugar ;" who had listened to the great concern he expressed for the West Indies; who had witnessed his extreme anxiety about the moral and soci a l condition of those colonies; who had been elevated into an enthusiasm of indignation against the Whigs by Sir Robert's denunciation of the policy which might render it impossible ever to raise sugar at a profit by free labour in those colonies —gentlemen, we say, whose memories were full of these statements, and who are not quick to catch up new views of things, might naturally suppose that Sir Robert Peel could not be quite in ear nest at the present time. No doubt they said to themselves that though the Premier might have reasons of expediency for appearing to have lost all concern for the in terests of the West India colonies, yet his views of 1841— those views upon which, and by the declaration of which he obtained office, must be what he really wished still to promote ; but they were in error. Upon this occasion they finessed too much, and have been obliged to contradict themselves. Upon such a class of men, however, Sir Robert Peel ought to have mercy. Let him remember that they have been very busy ever since 1841 learning the lesson he then taught them, and trying to " soak into their brains," as Lord Palmerston would say, the wisdom which he then imparted, touching the cant of cheap sugar, and the necessity of taking care of West Indian interests. All that he has to complain of is that they cannot unlearn what he has taught, quite so fast as he can; but this may be because they received his opinions with more respect and more earnest belief than he received them himself. THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—During the last few days much progre ss h as b een ma d e on th e various lines of streets connected with the improvements of the metropolis. In Whitechapel, for the formation of the new street to lead from Shoreditch Church to the London Docks, on Friday last twenty-nine houses were sold to the south of and adjoining Spitalfields Church, and which are now in course of demolition. When these are removed, there will be a direct communication with Whn Upperitecliap sel.t. iari l i‘ nß t e n d ,s. L i i a o n n e, - Lion street, passing to the docks, on the east side, above half the houses are being cleared away. In being the continuation of the new street from Leicester square to Plumptre-street, the width of the road is marked out, and which is also done in this latter street, in eac h o f which thoroughfares the carriage way is above thirty feet wide. In Plumptre-street the arches for th e new houses are turned, and are ready for the buildings, there being a space left for a French Protestant chapel, at a short distance from Bedford chapel, the foundation stone of which will be shortly laid. On the new line of street in this neighbourhood, from Oxford-street to Holbo rn , t h ere is now a direct opening made, .though there are several houses to be removed to form the entire width of .the street. Wh en th e houses are cleared awa y will , which haveis em g rapidly done by the workmen, once workmen, a new sewer b tobeformed in what m,a called the Rookery, and, when that is completed, the carriage and foot way will be made, the whole of which is expected to be carried into effect about Michaelmas next. The authorities of Eton College have received an intimation from Prince Albert, through the medium of Mr. G. E. Anson, that his Royal Highness is desirous of attend ing divine service in the College Chapel, previously to his laying the foundation stone of the new buildings on Thursday next. The Provost, in order to meet the views of the prince; has appointed the service to take place on the morning of that day, at half-past twelve o'clock. Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, the household troops, cavalry and i n f antry, mounted guard, wearing laurel in their caps, and having their colours also decorated with evergreens. The Chelsea pen sioners were also decorated in a similar manner, and num bers of private individuals who are out-pensioners, and who served on that memorable day, wore the Waterloo medal on their left breast, and laurel leaves in their hats.

It commence d on Mon day at " Lord's" in the presence of one of the most distin guished assemblages we ever remember to have seen upon a similar occasion. The brilliancy of the scene, too, was very considerably enhanced by some extremely large marquees which have been erected for the fancy fair and promenade, which is to take place on Thursday for the benefit of the shipwrecked mariners. The gentlemen of Rent went in first, and after some very fine play, scored in the first innings 116 runs, in their second 82, making a total of 198. Of these Mr. Felix made 22 and 18 ; Mr. A. Mynn, 32 and 0 ; Mr. Swann, 24 and 4 ; Mr. W. Wynn, 4 and 17 ; Mr. Fredericks, 8 and 0; Mr. E. Bayley, 1 and 19 ; Mr. C. Harenc, 9 and 2, &c. The gentlemen of England scored but 63 in their first hands, being thus 53 fewer than their opponents. At the com mencement of the match the betting, of which there was a great deal throughout the contest, was 6 and 7 to 4 in favour of Kent ; but as soon as the wicket of Mr. Felix had been lowered, the odds diminished to even. They, however,..as sumed their original position as soon as Kent had terminated their second hands; and when England had lost their first wicket in their second innings, the betting Went up until as much as 7 to 1 were l a id with some freedom. _ But the result of the game proved how little certainty of caleilla tion there is in the play. They began their second innings with a majority of 135 runs staring them in the face. They went, nevertheless, to work with great spirit ; but Mr. Craven and the Hon. R. Grimston were got down for two and three runs respectively. Mr. Haygarth was the first who made any stand against the terrific bowling of Mr. A. Mynn, and the awkward balls of Mr. Fredericks. He ob tained 19 in excellent style. Mr. C. Taylor hit away with his usual freedom, and in a very short space of time contri buted 18 to the score. The match, however, was in reality won by the steady play of Mr. Gordon, and the resolute hitting of Mr. Kynaston, the former scoring, whilst he made 30 in his first, 32 (not out) in the second hands, and the latter 3 and 35 not out. There were 17 byes and 12 wides. The new rule relative to " wide balls" was brought into operation only once during the match, and then two were run for a wide from Mr. Fredericks. This gentleman also gave one other wide, whilst Mr. Mynn bowled four singles, and Mr. Harenc five. England thus won by six wickets. greatly to the surprise of all the spectators. In future each run obtained for a " wide ball" is to be scored against the par ticular bowler by whom it is given, upon the scoring paper. A RETORT.—" Are you prepared to pay me that bill?" said the landlord of an American hotel to a guest of his, who seemed to evince a decided and practical preferencefor the "credit system." " Certainly, I will p a y it," v.s the reply,said " t s e landlord,soon aas get a rem i tt ance f rom the north. But why so uneasy ? Am not y l ou se em pu g tt l i a n d g en u og puzi to oh put t u i ? ; Yes," s with me, bu iyou'll find I s h an ' t put up with you if you don ' t pay me."

FLOWER SHOW AT THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GAR dens.—The South London Floricultural Society held their first exhibition of flowers and fruits for the sepon yesterday at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The weather was re markably fine, the flowers were exceedingly beautiful, and the gardens were crowded by persons who seemed to enjoy the delightful exhibition. In the evening there was a grand fete in the gardens, which continued to be crowded up to the concltision of the fete. The conflagration of Old London, which took place at dusk, was very grand, and the general conduct of the entertainments of the evening reflected the highest credit on Mr. Tyler, who has, by his management hitherto, shown himself a most judicious caterer for the public. • SOUTH SHIELDS.—During the last week or two a " sensation " has been created in the Long-row, by the sitnul • taneous disappearance of a currier, and the landlady of a public- house, from that street, and, by what can be traced, they are en route for America. On the day before leaving the town, the landlady managed to lay black-mail on the most of her friends, and ease the box of a fund, held at her house, of some 151., and on that account has lett *hind a host of lamenting friends. The currier has left a, sickly wi ie and five - children, almost d es tit u t e . —T yne hfercuri.
