Simpson and Freer, John Barber, Esq., Derby. John Huish, Esq., JJJ This Company has been formed for the purpose of making a rail way between Derby and Crewe through the Potteries, thus com pleting the chain of communication by an almost direct line between the Midland and Eastern Counties and the Potteries, Liverpool and Ireland. The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through the valley of that river to Uttoxeter ; it ►ill then proceed by the intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last link (from Stoke to Crewe) is intended to be supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally without railway accommodation, and (except for a portion of it) lot included in any other project. A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no engineering difficulties of importance. The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land owners generally. The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus connected will be as follows : . Length of By Derby Saving, present route. and Crewe. Miles. Miles. Miles.

Coal, Clay, Lime, Slates, and Plaster, the amount has been' ascer tain to be considerable; and it may be added that by the existing and projected lines branching westward from Crewe, this line will afford a direct and most useful communication between the Midland Counties and the mineral districts of North Wales. 116% 90% 26 An arrangement has been made with the Grand Junction Com pany, whereby their friendly co-operation has been secured, and they have agreed to contribute one-third of the required capital. One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will necessarily be of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties giving unexcep tioaable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the number of shares alloted to any member of their body shall in no case exceed two hundred. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls, fiom time of payment until the opening of the line.

This line will commence near the city of Oporto, and continuing through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis trict of Portugal to Torre de lUoncervo, within a few miles of the Spanish frontier. The manifest advantages of this line render comment almost un necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact that there are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, and the traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment. The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the beneficial results of the completion of such a line. An immense dis trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be brought into imme diate contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with England and all the maritime nations of the world. The Provisional Committee avail themselves of the earliest possible opportunity to apprise the public that such legal measures will be adopted, as must afford the Subscribers to this Company ample pro tection. In consequence of the negotiation now pending, the Prospectuses are unavoidably delayed a few days.

CHING'S WORM-DESTROYING LO ZENGES have for Fifty Years held a distinguished reputa tion, and are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names in r, nk, respectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility in their own families. It is a fact established by the annual Bills of Mortality, that one half of the children born are cut off before attaining Seven years of age, and the fruitful source of this mortality is found to exist in that foul state of the Stomach and Bowels which produces the generation of Worms. The symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of the face, emaciated and irregular state of the bowels, attended with violent pain. They bring on convulsions ; they affect the growth of the body ; and they prove fatal by ending in a consumption or decay. As the certain restorer of infantine health, in this critical state, "Ching's Worm-Destroying Lozenges" have long been known and esteemed : mild and safe in their operation, suited to every stage of this period of life, and infallible in their effect, their excellence can be gratetnlly testified to by many fond and anxious mothers who have successfully had recourse to them. _ _ As an Opening Medicine in spring and summer, for Adults as well as for Children, and tor foulness of the Stomach and Bowels, and Convulsions, although Worms may not exist, it is allowed to be supe rior to every other. CHING'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES are peculiarly adapted and recommended for Exportation to the EAST and WEST INDIES, and warm climates generally, as their virtue remains un impaired by time.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,000/., the Assured have the security of the Company's income of nearly 60,0001. per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

Where'er we look, above, beneath, around, Some most surprising " wonder" may be found. Look at those vessels which, in triumph, ride In opposition both to wind and tide. Look at those carriages whose secret force Needs not the efforts of the noble horse ; These, with a thousand other "wonders," sal' That " Time is working wonders" ev'ry day. Another " wonder" brought about by Time Claims special mention in thi s h u mble rhyme.

By the death of Charles Francis Barkley, Esq., of Sunbury, Middlesex, which took place at Dresden, on the 3cl instant, political reform, and the Liberal cause generally, have lost a sincere and energetic supporter. The Liberal electors of Middlesex cannot forget the powerful support which he gave them in their first and second election of Mr. Hume, who was pro posed by him on both occasions. His zeal in the cause of reform, not content with the triumph then gained in the metropolitan county, urged him afterwards to a contest for the city of York with the Lowthers, in which he would certainly have succeeded, had not the Liberal interest been divided between himself and the Hon. J. C. Dundas. As evidence of the strong impression which he made on that occasion on the Liberals of York, and their grate ful recollection of his exertions in their cause, we extract a few sen tences from a short memoir of him in the York Courant of last Thurs. day :—" Mr. Barkley upon attaining his majority succeeded to a hand. some property, and immediately upon leaving Trinity College, Cambridge, entered 4iimself a member of the Middle Temple, and was in due time called to the bar. In 1835, being then 27 years of age, he offered himself for York. That contest, its re. suit, and the subsequent proceedings before the Committee of the House of Commons, are familiar to our readers ; but we can. not help recurring to the eloquent and impassioned tone of his pub lic speaking. We seldom remember to have heard public princi. pies so powerfully enforced as by him. His, indeed, was the lan guage of the heart. To a classic mind cultivated by all the en. dowments of art and study, there was added a bold, vigorous outline of genius. With what ease could he win his way to the avenues of the heart by his simple diction, and that tone of since rity which could never be mistaken ; and if hypocrisy crossed his path, with what bitter sarcasm did he wither it. If, in a moment of excitement he used expressions calculated to wound, how quickly he repaired the fault. Nothing was truer than the expression we once heard him use, that he hated that Indian method of warfare, which poisoned the arrows they shoot, in order that they may rankle in the wounds they make.' The generosity and benevolence of his character were unbound ed. Soon after the contest at York Mr. Barkley married the on y d aug hter of a West Indian proprietor, and niece of Lieutenant. Colonel Murray, late of the 16th Lancers The varied talents and accomplishments of this lady, and probably also the disgust which Mr. Barkley took at the pause made by the Whig Government in the prosecution of liberal measures, induced him to retire from poll. tient and professional turmoil, and afterwards to make his residence on the Continent, where he and his lady, with kindred tastes, culti• vated the study of the fine arts And modern literature. To offer consolation under this heavy affliction, we dare not further than to assure Mrs. Barkley that there are in York hundreds who deeply sympathise with her sorrow." A woman named Johnson was remanded from Marylebone for stealing several articles from the Polytechnic Institution • and the Adelaide Gallery.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may he marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imrove ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste is inevitable."—The Sun, April 30. "Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer tainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered Paletot. two guineas. 114, Regent-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither iron neglige ni trophabille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that wade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. TIAN they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended wale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone he treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Regfstered" Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowol.

THE , COLOSSEUM, Regent's Park, is NOW OPEN, under the patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The chief points of attraction at this gigantic establishment consist of the Glyptotheca, or Museum of Sculpture, designed and erected by Mr. William Bradwell, expressly for the exhibition of the finest works of Modern Sculptors, for which purpose no other building, with similar advantage, exists at present in London. The Classic Ruins and exterior Promenades, presenting models of the Temples of Theseus, Vesta, the Arch °flans, &c.—Mont Blanc, the Mer de Glace, and Alpine Torrent, thriving a hitherto unat tempted representation of the Monarch of Mountains, and its adja cent scenery, painted by Mr. Hanson. The Conservatories entirely redecorated in the Arabesque style, refurnished with the choicest natural and exotio plants, and in which has been erected a gorgeous Gothic Aviary. The Stalactite Caverns at Adelsberg.—" The most magnificent of all the Temples which Nature has built for herself in the regions of night." In addition to these extraordinary and splendid novelties, the cele brated Panorama of London has been almost entirely re-painted by the original artist, Mr. E. T. Parris. The Ascending Room has been newly decorated in a most costly style of the period of La Renaissance, the whole Exhibition designed and re-modelled by Mr. W. Bradwell. Admittance, Three Shillings • Children under Twelve, Half-price. Admittance to the Stalactite Caverns, One Shilling extra. A splendid additional entrance in Albany•street.

This magnificent Work of Art is erected in front of the day picture after that exhibition is closed. Such a colossal undertaking perhaps was never before contemplated. As it is impossible in an advertise ment to enter into detail, the proprietor will only quottl the sentiments of a most distinguished party at a private view— " It is a new era in art— 'Us not a picture,. It is nature." This most novel exhibition. has been projected and carried out by Mr. W. Bradwell, and painted by Mr. Danson and. Mr. Telbin. Admittance, Five Shillings, which will include the Stalactite Ca verns at Adelslserg—the Chalet, with the sublime effect of the Moun tain Torrent by Night—the Glyptotheca and Refreshment Salon most brilliantly illuminated, forming a promenade perfectly unique. Open from Nine till Eleven o'clock.

The King of the French held a Council of Ministers at Neuilly on Sunday. On Saturday evening their Majesties received the Pope's Nuncio, Counts d'Oraison, de Lasalle, and du Montesquiou, Baron de Bussieres, and M. Letronne, Keeper General of the Archives of the kingdom. Admiral Willaumez, the senior Vice-Admiral of the French navy, and a Peer of France, died on Saturday, at his residence at Suresne, near Paris.

The Prince has permission from the Government to remain three months in Paris. The poet Ernest de Brunow, brother of the Russian Am bassador at London, died a few days since at Dresden. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" The Government, it is said, is preparing a Bill for presentation to the Chambers, at the opening of the next session, on the subject of postal re form. A uniform rate of postage of 25c. wiil be fixed for the whole kingdom." The Central Congress et Agriculture, in its sitting on Saturday, came to a vote in favour of a proposition for a recommendation to the Government to reduce the duty on salt. _ _ Accounts from Constantinople of the 30th state that the Greek Patriarch in that capital has resigned, to avoid a threatened dismissal. He was accused by some' of his coun trymen of being a partizan of, and under the influence of, Russia, an accusation which is contradicted by his friends. From a recent census of the population of Athens, it results . . . . . . that it contains 20,606 residenikihabitants—viz., 8,316 men, 8,026 women, and 4,264 children, besides 1,510 soldiers form ing the garrison, and 5,322 foreigners, making a general total of 27,438 souls. The Constitutionnel publishes the following letter from M. Horace Vernet, dated Versailles, the 17th :—" The account published by you that the Moorish authorities had ordered me to quit their territory is incorrect.. On the contrary, I can say that I received the most friendly welcome whenever I found myself in contact with them. I was enabled to visit, without any impediment on their part, the field of battle, which it was my object to see." LAW AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court George Bracey and James Fisher, servants, were indicted for stealing 31 spoons, 53 forks, two Bank of England notes for 101., five sovereigns, and other valuable property, worth altogether upwards of 400/., belonging to John Rivett Carnac, Esq. ; and William Tomlin was indicted for feloniously receiving part of the property. knowing it to have been stolen. The jury found them guilty, and the Recorder sentenced Bracey (who was the prosecutor's footman) and Fisher to fifteen years trans portation ; and Tomlin, who had been the tool of the other two, to six months' hard labour. William Rayner, for feloniously wounding Thomas Hickey, a constable of the metropolitan police, whilst in the execu tion of his duty, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. . In the New Court, the Common Sergeant sentenced. Capt. John Dowling to seven years' transportation for bigamy. At Marlborough-street, John Witney, coalheaver, was summoned by Lady Mary Fitzhardinge Berkeley, for ob structing her carriage in Wardour-street. The defendant obstructed the street with his coal waggon, and refused to draw up when requested. He moreover seized the horses in the carriage of the complainant by the heads, and force was obliged to be had recourse to to make him desist. He was sentenced to 40s. fine, or a month's imprisonment. William Sheen, the man who was tried some years since at the Old Bailey for the murder of his child, by cutting its head off, but who escaped conviction from an informality in the indictment, was charged at Worship-street with having assaulted and threatened the life of Mr. Conrad Buhler, of the City of Norwich, Wentworth-street, Whitechapel. He was bound over to keep the peace, himself in 1004 and two sureties in 50/. each. The May general sessions of the peace for the county of Middle sex, commenced on Tuesday, at the Cort-house, Clerkenwell. green. The calendar contains the names of G 4 prisoners for trial, of whom 44 are indicted for felony, and 20 stand charged with as saults and other offences, none of which are of a serious nature ; besides those which appear on the calendar, there are upwards of 20 recent commitments, and also a number of bail cases for trial.

The Heaviside Divorce Bill, introduced into the House of Lords on Monday night, is entitled " A Bill to dissolve the marriage of Richard Heaviside, Esq , with Mary, his now wife, and to enable him to marry again ; and for other pur poses." It will be remembered that Mrs. Heaviside (the wife of Capt. Heaviside, one of the magistrates of Brighton) eloped same years since with Dr. Lardner. The Bill was read a first time on Tuesday, June 3. The Lords are to be summoned thereon, and the usual orders made.

The Marquis of Ormonde is to have the vacant ribbon of St. Patrick's. Yesterday a hand-bill appeared containing the portrait of a gentleman said to be missing from Dublin.

Browne, Rig., M.P., in the Chair. The Secretary having read the minutes of the last day's pro ceedings, Mr, O'CONNELL said, that before commencing the business of the day, he wished to draw the attention cf the Association to a circumstance which occurred on the last day of meeting. Whilst be (Mr O'Connell) was engaged in announcing the receipt of va. rious remittances, a letter was handed to him, accompanied by a piece of music, with a request that he would read the letter to the meeting, and present the music to the Association. Act. ing in this case on the principles which he always adopted—namely, never giving publicity to any document without first having considered it in private, and on that occasion be had to congratulate himself for not deviating from his accustomed caution. The letter which he referred to was totally inconsistent with the principles of the Association, and highly dangerous in its tendency, and the song which accompanied it was a war-song—a fighting song. Now so much was he opposed to the adop tion of physical force, that he would not consent to accept of the repeal of the union at the expense of one drop of human blood.—(Hear, hear.) It had been complained that the levee which was to be held on the 30th of May was inter fering with the royal prerogative. There were no grounds for any such complaint. The levee proposed to be held on the 30th inst. was not a mark of respect to be paid to an individual, but to seven of them, a heptarchy of kings of Brentford.—(Laughter.) The Hon, and Learned Gentleman then recommended that an instruc tion should be issued to the repeal wardens of Navan and Drog. heda, directing them to prevent the distribution or circulation of all placards, songs and documents, of every description ; anifur. ther, to apprehend any person who should be heard utteritlg any sentiments of a seditious or disloyal character, and hand him over to the authorities.—(Hear.) With respect to the Eduction Bill the Catholic bishops would assemble in synod on Wednesday for the purpose of considering the question, and, as he had previously stated, he would abide by that decision. But there was a portion of the Bill which claimed their especial attention—he alluded to the 10th clause, which vested in the Crown the government of the colleges, and the visitorial power, and the 14th section, which had reference to the delivery of re. ligious instruction. On that day he would move that the two clauses he had adverted to be referred to the Committee of the Association for consideration. He had to give notice of motion for the next day of meeting, having reference to the future conduct of the Association. During the last year, they had not progressed as far towards the accomplish ment of the repeal as they ought to have done. A combination of circumstances had prevented them. They were occupied with the deplorable discussion on the Bequest Act, and then that on the Maynooth Bill succeeded. Ho could not advert to the Iklaynooth Bill without again bearing testimony to the admirable character of that measure.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) On the next day of meeting he would move first that the association should pledge it self to the extension of the repeal reading-rooms; secondly to discourage by every possible means the circulation at pub lic meetings of any kind of documents or language of an inflammatory character ; thirdly, that an arrangement be entered into for the effective registration of repealers in every country town and borough in Ireland; and fourthly, that means be taken by which petitions from every county, town, village, and haket in favour of a repeal of the union should be prepared. By the adop tion of the latter proposition they would be enabled to have two millions of signatures to petitions against the commencement of the next session, and every day during its sitting from three to five should be presented. The British Legislature should be kept constantly alive to the determination of the people of Ireland never to desist till they attained the objetet for which they were contending. He regarded the Oregon iliestion as anything but settled, and believed the period might not be far distant when they would be exposed to all the horrors of a destruc tive war. If England enlisted the people of Ireland its her cause, she might set America and all the world at defiance, The conci liation of Ireland was now acknowledged by British statesmen to be a principle, and he trusted they would carry it out With liberality. After some further business had been disposed of, Mr. O'CONNELL announced the rent for the week to be 4321. 95. I Id. Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart., was then called to the chair, and the meeting adjourned. MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS. This meeting, which is to take place on Wednesday next, in the presbytery of the Roman Catholic cathedral, in Marlborough. street, is looked to with deep interest, as the decision of the pre. lates will have a very decided influence on the public mind with regard to the measure of academical education. The meeting has been convened by the Roman Catholic Primate (Dr. Crolly), who, without waiting for a requisition, deemed it his duty to call the bishops together at the earliest possible moment, to deliberate upon the subject. It is stated that all the bishops will be in attendance, with the exception of two or three, whose state of health precludes them from undertaking the journey to Dublin. z STOCK EXCHA NGE. There was no feature of the least interest in the market to.day. Government securities remain tolerably steady, with, however, a downward tendency, Three per Cent. Consols having closed lower than Saturday. Railway speculations appear to have received a check, and purchases are made with mere caution, the conse. quence of which is that, for several days last, there was little or no change in the price of shares. The following is from the official list : GOVERNMENT FUNDS.—Three per Cent. Consols, 98; Three. and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock, 1011 ; Bank Stock, 2031 ; Royal Canal Stock, 37f.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The opera of Don Giovanni was substituted last evening for Il Pirata, which had been originally annoumed. This substitu tion took place by the command of her Majesty, who honoured the theatre with her presence on the occasion, and who arrived before the commencement of the overture. Never has the elief-cl'ccutyre of Mozart been more admirably performed. Fornasari has improved vastly in the Don. He makes it more refined than formerly, without at the same time losing one atom of the bold reckless daring which is the character. istic of the part. Of the Anna of Grisi, the Ottavio of Mario, and the Leporello of Lablache, it is unnecessary to do more than merely announce the fact that such was the cast. Castellan, as the simple lovely coquettish Zerlina was exceedingly naive, and the fine rich tones of her voice told admirably. Madame Rita Borio, is, without exception, the very best Elvira that has ever appeared. She made the character quite interesting, and what was more she did full justice to the music of Mozart. Her performance in the far.famed trio was delightful. Her Majesty paid the most marked attention to the performance, with which shew as evidently delighted. The opera was enthusiastically applauded throughout, the applause on more than one occasion comrnericingin the royal box. Theyiennese danced the Rococo, Cerito and Grahn the Minute, and Gavotte and Grahn the Cracovicnne, in short, the perform ances of Saturday were repeatad as far as the betel was con cerned. The house was crowded. Amongst those present were her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by Lord Byron, Lord C. Wellesley, Cot. Wylde,the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, and the Hon. Miss Kerr; her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Prince of Leiningen ; their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. The Queen Dowager's box was occupied by the Grand Duchess of Baden, the Ba roness Strumfeder, Baron de Schrickenstein, and the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas. The IDukes of Beaufort and Cleveland, the Duchesses of Hamilton and Beaufort, the Marquises of Douro, Aylesbury, Sligo, Huntly, Clanricard9, and Breadalbane; the Marchionesses of Douro, Aylesbury, Breadal bane, and Westmeath ; the Earls of Wilton, Lonsdale, Kenmare, Jersey, Munster, Falmouth, Shelburne, and Beauchamp; the Coun tesses of Wilton, Westmoreland, Kenniare, Jersey, Lincoln, Beau. champ, and Chesterfield ; the Russian Minister and Baronesss Brunnow, .Count Rielmansegge ; Lords Ernest Bruce, Fitzroy Somerset, Alvanley, Wm. Beresford, and Templetown ; Ladies Augusta Cadogan, Dalhousie, Fitzroy Somerset, Ashburton, Joddrell, E. Fielding, Meux, and Easthope ; Hon. Mr. Carew, Hon. Mr. Upton, Hon. Booth Grey, Hon. Mrs. Fitzgibbon, Hon. Mrs. Warneford, Mrs. Colonel Maberley; Sirs H. Goodricke, H. Webb, A. Barnard, H. Meux, Charles Wetherell, Major Barlog, General Upton, Major Wildman, Colonel Maberley, &c. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A clever adaptation of the Mulatre, which was recently per formed at the St. James's Theatre, was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of the Chevalier de St. Georges. Wallack appearing as the Chevalier (the mulatto Chevalier, the character sustained by Lafont in the original), and Mrs. Stirling as the Countess (Nathalie's part). The acting of Wallack and Mrs. Stirling, in their respective parts, left us nothing to desire; they were fully equal to their respective originals. They were, of course, called for at the conclusion, and loudly applauded. The piece is very nicely got up, the scenery is excellent, and it will, do doubt, havea long run. The house was well attended. SAD LERS' WELLS. We last night paid a visit to Sadlen' Wells Theatre, so much improved, indeed, undzr the management of Mr. Phelps and Mrs. Warner. Sheridan Knowles's historical play of William Tell was performed, and most successfully. We have often seen and ad. mired Mr. Phelps' performances, and last night, In the part of Tell, the liberator of his country, we think he even excelled him. self. The energy and impassioned feeling displayed by bim elicited universal applause. Mrs. Warner, as Emma (Tell's wife), had but little to do to call forth her well.known ability. It is sufficient to say that little was ably performed. Mils Stephens pers on ated re ° t n o the Albert (Tell's son) most creditably, and equal praise Agnes a s ; and we singing and acting of Miss Lebatt, in the in better hands than Mr. G.

YATES'S BENEFIT.— We observe that the Benefit of Mrs.Yatcs, at the Adelphi Theatre is fixed for Thursday next (to-morrow). To enlarge upon the claims of this admirable actress to the public gratitude, would indeed be work of superero. gation. It is sufficient to remind our play-going friends of the fact that her benefit takes place to-morrow, and it is unnecessary to add that the house will be a bumper. DAY PERFORMANCES AT ASTLEY'S.—Mr. Batty, encouraged :by the success of the day performances at Astley's last season, intends to give a series of them during the present one. He commences the day performances to-morrow, and continues them on the three following Thursdays. The Juveniles ought to be much obliged to Mr. Batty for this arrangement, as it affords them an opportunity of seeing the wonders of Astley's without keeping them out of their beds at night to the injury of their health. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD.—Yes terday Mr. Watley, the coroner, and a jury assembled at the York. shire Grey, at Hampstead, to investigate the death of Thorhas William Cunningham, aged forty-two, a tailor, residing at 24, Holywell.street, Strand, who was found dead in a ditch in the Finchley-road, near the Swiss Cottage, on the morning of Saturday last. The medical man, Mr. Gower, who performed a post murteng examination of the body, gave a decided opinion that he had died of apoplexy, produced by natural causes, and not by violence.— Verdict accordingly. DEPTFORD FAlR.—This ancient fair, the existence of which is coeval with the establishment of the corporation of Trinity-house, commenced on Monday, immediately after the Noble Duke (Wellington), the Master, had been re-elected. The fair was well supplied with shows, stalls, and all the paraphernalia of an English holiday. Throughout yesterday (Tuesday) numerous visitors from the metropolis and other places reached tile festive scene by the railway and the boats, and Greenwich Bolt cause in for no small sham; of them, notwithstanding the rciccOl fair at Oil latter place. r" .. :1 4 4 " , 014,1 ) .; ii k; o W l a s ra , Parsons essrs ..waantas Watson . a ; n Manchester, a o c h .. e s an t c i l, Messrs.
