EVENING EDITION. THEA TRES. DRURY-LANE. -Pizarro was played here labt night to a not overful audience. Elton acted Rolla, and on the whole played Ins part vigorously. Mr. Marston was the Alonzo, Mrs. Stirling well sustained the character of Cora, and Mrs. West was the Elvira. ST. JAMES'S. The term " so frequently ap plied to managers, has now assumed a breadth of reality approaching to down-right daring. There ap- Peals to be nothing in art too high for the vaulting ambition of those who eater for the theatrical amusement of the public. Last night Bunn brought out here the Sonnantbula. Miss Cooper, his prima donna, daring the difficult part or Amina. This young lady succeeded both in her singing and acting to the extent of securing the pet fect satisfaction of the audience, who called for her at the fall of the curtain. Allen's part of Elvino was °leasing, and would have been more so but for the oc casional introduction of a too ambitious style of execu "ll- Stretton's Count was capital. The opera was well got up, and the chorus neither meagre nor had. ADELPHI. The May Queen was revived here last night, after havin g slumbered for several years. The plot is eiabo r47e ; the scenery is wild, tragic, and melancholy. The acting was respectable. Mr. Lyon played a " sergeant," and went through a drunken fencing scene with great aPirit. Mr. Maynard, as a guilty steward arid a dis tracted father, lost himself amid " the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds." He was a sort of ranting Chaos, the " nothing to nobody" of the piece. Wilde, who played a tinker, was not quite a John Reeve, but let out a little of his nature's fun with a bright and slearkling effervescence. Wright, the birdcatcher, was, mevertheless, the liveliest gentleman of the sober ludo dram a . Miss Lee and Miss E. Hornier took the parts of the ladies. A pas de trois, in the first act, was well danced by Mr. Harvey, Mrs. Nailer, and Miss Maile. AWFUL FIRE J HOUNDSDITCH. EIGHT LIVES LOST. About daybreak this morning the vicinity of Hounds •i itch and its immediate neighbourhood was thrown into a scene of consternation and confusion, not easily to be deser3ed, by the outbreak of a fire of an awful and ealamit b us character, in Wighgate-alley (a narrow street, leading from the centre of Houndsditch to Bishopsgate street, overhoig by old dilapidated shops and premises, and most dense" inhabited by the poorer classes of the community). Who gave the alarm could not be ascer tained ; but when tha police proceeded in the direc tion where the sounds cam? from, they perceived the upp er portion of the house No. 10 in Wighgate-alley, on the south side, belonging to a person of the name of Barretti, by trade a trunk and box-maker, on fire. It appeared then to be confined to the second floor front .room, but before they had time to give the general alarm to the neighbourhood, the flames burst forth from tlie windows, and in an amazing short time completely eaveloped the whole of the upper part of the house. The . police immediately they reached the spot, ham mered away at the house, and those adjoining, with their Stoves aid rattles, and prior to the fire obtaining the height just alluded to, succeeded in arous ng the in- Mates, and the whole•of whom, it was conjectured, had effected an escape. Such, however, we regret to state, Was not the case. In about a quarter of an hour, or it might be less, the intelligence had reached the fire-station of the Bri g, de establishment In Jeffery-square, St. Mary Axe. Th,l engines were instantly turned out, and run by hand to the spot, and when water was obtained the firem e n got the machines to ciork with great alacrity, but tho:tgh they strove hard to suppress the flames in their infaecy, as they call it, their exe:tions and skill were bailleci. The conflagration every moinent in' creased in magnitude, and within half an hour after its commencement, (six o'clock) the next house, No. 9, ,the property of Mr. Allen, pawnbroker of Shoreditch, bct let out to seven or eight families, and two houses at be back, appropriated as a kind of store, had ig nited, And were all in a blaze. The appearance of the nei g hlwirhood at this moment presented a most pitiful sight ; w cnien, children, and men, were rushing about the street _almost like savages, with nothing to cover their nakedness but their night-clothes, and in a state of madness. A large body of the City Police, under the superintendence of Mr. Merchant, an inspector, ar rived very short ly after the outbreak, they endeavoured to their utmost to appease the unfortunate creatures. but to no use, and on ascertaining that, they, in a Manner highly creci.'table to the force, turned their as sistance to the preservation of the property adjoining to the fire, and succeeded in snatching from the ravages of the terrible element the " all" of nearly thirty poor families. Before seven o'clock Mr. Braidwood had reached the scene with the engine and fireman from the head department of brigade in Watliag- street, and others followed quickly from the station in Welclose-square, Whitecross-street, Farringdon-street. Holborn, and after those by that of the West of England, of the County, and several others. As they drew up to the spot every one was got to work, and the fire was attacked on all sides. At a few minutes after seven o'clock the whole frontage of both house s , N os . 9 and 10, gave way and fell into the stre e t with a dreadful crash ; very fortunately the eveht was anticipated by the firemen, who retired some distance, and escaped without, receiving any injury. The whole of the engines kept playing on the dames till eight o'clock, about which time the fire was so much pot under, that several engines returned to their respec tieo stations, but four continued working on the ruins till t welve o'clock this forenoon. Up to half-past ten o'cl u e.k this morning it was supposed that all who inhabitod the premises bad escaped ; but while one of the brigade ivas directing a branch of one of the engines into a pile of rubbish, he imagined he saw the body of a huma u being h u gging over a high beam in the ruins. He c a lled several of his brother firemen to him, and ?it goi.v up, was horror-struck in discovering 't to be Ole remains of a woman ; they reraGyed them from the g i „'ze of the immense number o f persons g'ho surrounded the place, but, no sooner had they done so than the bodies of three children presented themselves to their view. A further search was then made by two firemen—Kitehen, No. 49, and the other, No. 76—and in th e course of an hour after dug out the remains of roar others, a female and three men ; they were in stantly enwrapped in blankets until the arrival of s h ells front the A orahouse ; it is 'eared that two other persons n ave p, ri,hed, but the bodies had not been discovered uP to the time of this being written, 1 o'clock. The names of the ill-fated individuals are at present un t","cvn ; they are all supposed to have lod g ed at No. 10, w "iell was let out to eight or twelve families, but how m any persons slept there last n i g ht cannot be ascer tained. _ THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) ____.....-- HUNGERFORD MARKET.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S — MoN o The following notice, posted in the betting-room, had the double effect of increasing the quotrtions against Grey Milton, and of checking the inclination to speculate: — I " Lord George Bentinck, seeing that Grey Milton has be come a great favourite in the betting for the Derby, declares that, unless he has reason to think much better of him than he does at present, it is not his intention to run him for that race; but to reserve him for engagements which he has a more rea sonable chance to win.". 40 to 1 was afterwards taken three or four times, and two or three parties, we believe, notwithstanding, the declarazioii, would have gone on at the same figures. With respect to the favourites, a change is at length discernible. Wardan and the Angelica colt, it is true, although nominally varying a point, are equal favourites, 17 to 1 having been offered against one, and lit to 1 taken two or three times about the other. The alteration is in Launcelot, who cannot be at less than 20 to 1. More odds were offered " with a proviso," but we do not thitA. that they would have been betted outright. Malay ishroael was backed at 20 to 1, and left off with a nominal '4dvance or tWo points.

GRAND STEEPLE CIIAgiE AT WINKFIELD, NEAR WINDSOR. On Saturday last a grand steeple chase came off over three miles of the Winkfield country, near Windsor, for a piece of plate, presented by Captain Martyn, added to a sweepstakes of .f.cvs each, 5 ft, for horses bona fide the property of officers belonging to 4,0 gd Regiment of Horse Guards, stationed at Windsor, and to he rigen by officers belonging to the regiment. The second Imo to reeeiyS hapic his ji e t,4e. There were fifteen subscribers, eight of whom paid ft. The start t oo , 1 2!ce in a d e la Adjoining the lower farm house of Mr. Leader, on the Follyjohri Park Estate, Winkfield, at half-past two o'clock. The horses, whi4l , were ridden by the owners, arrived at the winning-post as f:illoWs : Lord Drumlanrig's br g The Cottager Mr. Naylor's bl g The Count Captain Mane's ch g King David 3 Mr. Ogilvia's bl g Jack Nasty Mr. Tolleniache's bl g Midnight Mr. Lucas's b The Cardinal g Mr. Freke's b It Little John The last four horses were not placed. On the word "go" being given, the whole wont off well together Midnight taking the lead, and making strong running up' the hill. At this fifth race, Cottager made a " mistake, and falling, gave his rider & dirty, though harmless, fall. Lord Drumlanrig, however, was soon mounted again, and in the next field caught up King David, Midnight, and The Count, who 1:0501 formed the "advance guard." In this order they pro ceeded till within two fields from home, when Midnight, who up to this point bad taken the lead, cried " enough." The race here became very interesting, The Count and King David running neck and neck into the winning f t eld oyer the last fence. cottager (who had been quietly waiting on the leading horses) when not fifty yards from the • winning-post; made a rush, a la Chifney, and 'wc% cleverly by two lengths, The Count only beating King David by a neck'for'the second place, The horses were ridden in most admirable style. The jockey ship of Lord Drumlanrig was excellent,—indeed, WI) , of the riders, who " started to win and no mistake," rode " dashingly through slough *WI Mire, and over fence, hedge, and dit c h," and proved themselves worthy of all the honour; they achieved. The distance, which extended NF 4 1 ?04t three miles over gras§ and land, rendered dreadfully heary by the late rains, was inn in nine minutes. The secetui race was got up on the spot between three horses, the property of Lord Drumlanrig, Mr. Lawley, and Mr. Tol, lemache, over the last mile and a half of the ground, which was won cleverly by the latter gentleman, after a good race with Lord Drumlanrig. SEVERE CHASE WITH THE QUEEN'S STAG HOUNDS ON FRIDAY LAST. The favourite meet, Hillingdon, drew as usual, a numerous field, and it would have puzzled any one unacquainted with the superior tact of the huntsman to imagine how a deer could bo got away from snob a mass of riders, but this was done in a style well worth followinr on future occasions. It has been customary on meeting at Hillingdon to take the left-hand lane, opposite the church, on the Uxbridge-road, and proceed to the meet through the premises belonging to the hospitable and worthy proprietor Cox, Esq., and a meet at such a slendid park is of itself a treat, heightened at all times by the cordial welcome of an excellent sportsman, with the right sort of offshoots, worthy followers of the chace. On our arrival, we found a general inquiry for the hounds, and some wags intimating that owing to the wetness of the morning the hounds would not meet—(this by the bye ought to be explained ; nothing but frost or snow is meant by " if not prevented by the weather, will meet at the same place the following day")--this was soon put to rest by the arrival of Captain Seymour, who assured the many anxious inquirers that the hounds were en their way to meet. A move ment towards Uxbridge Common gave us the office, and on our getting to the top of the hill, Jack Ellmore said he had left the worst and taken one of the best counties in England; and away we went through Clark's park to the music of as musical a pack as ever man rode to, and well they threaded the covers, and on by the rural village of Ickenhans, over the fine grass country up by Roxteth ; no over-riding the hounds up to Har row, which he skirted, and turned towards Woodend, that let a few up, but the field was very select all up to the canal at Greea ford ; the first check forty minutes, and all over grass, the best horses glad of the hold-hard. Some time was now lost by getting the wrong side of the canal, and the deer made a good head through a fine grass country. Leaving Harrow and over to wards Pinner, both hound.; and horses had their work to do, and a take was anxiously wished for, as the heavy state of the country bad thinned a goodly field, and those left found their horses had enough, the deer now evidently longing for a take, and Davis anxiously pressing on to effect it ; but our best exer tions are unavailable if not well seconded, so this was too evi dent, for the deer kept on towards Stanmore, and in taking a fence he broke his gallant heart, after a very severe chase of upwards of two hours over as fine a hunting country as man could wish to ride. Davis has got his hounds in very good condition, and, from the commencement of the season, bids fair for a continuation of good sport ; their run on Monday was very good, from the back of Salt-hill up to ltlarlow, and , over the river to Wickham ; and on Wednesday they had .;, ; wit excellent chase, attended by a very fashionable, ,el 4; Queen's hounds this season will bear the bell. ,i irti.

LOVE: A PLAY. Moxou, London, 1839. We have read this i nlay with considerable interest, and gather from the reports in the Daily Journals, that it has met with a success .on the stage nearly as triumphant as that which the author's " Hunch back,"—Terhaps the best, certainly the most care fully finished .of his productions ---experienced on the first night of its repeseriration at Covent Oar den. .614riflan Knowles is remartmli!e for the l eafier —we might 411PQ4t, Nay; impetilow—manner uz Which be ,bounds upon his subject; he seizes It at Duce with 74 Vigor* grasp, and never quits his hold, or loses sight of it, until his purpose is fully e4corepiished, The majority of our dramatists ,useally `Pe! - ,l7lPeoce bgsbless," to borrow a phrase ‘"1.°114 the .Stock /S0)11Pge• towards the flo§@ of thk3 se,cond ? p.r Ole beginning of the third act, the ore cedirig being little hA; ~,,roduetory _..ter 611 Air 4lialneues; but play i husy reserve bees,orand sentimental o out,r gentlemen—orators et affectation.n a k 46,6. nteB thebefisoreus, s, hotthe as in c a as li e his p wit r h evi Mr. ous rfrmances. r•-• • piunges at once into the very thick of his subject ; a t erse pre li m i nary speec h or so, and then all his p r i nc i pa l c h aracters are at work, I'g a vv cicleanb e l r ik ea e st ti o ie f t without a fineladies tropes, cordial manner in which our author's heroes and notheroines n speak ntandiem eton_ptrho4erdapetsooirrwsitiwho point. They are dis course jangtliSh, find look foolish not they ; they have "no nonsense" about them, but are downright, unsophisticated men and women—warm, breathing , flesh and ,hlood, nut the lees favourites with ine people, because they may not happen altogether to suit the meridian of Almack's. Mr. Knowles has too much good sense to consult the Dl.lfoinid tastes of petty coteries, w h et h er fashionable or literary ; l ie looks abroad into the world, takes humanity at large for his model, and thence derives his inspira.. Lion. The character of woman, in particular—that complex enigma which has perplexed so many sages---he seems to have studied with deep atten tion, in proof of which we may adduce his " Con stance," the most masterly analysis of the better order of coquette, with which the modern stage has furnished us, his " Countess" in the pre sent play, is little, if at all, inferior to this chiy d'oeuvre. On the surface of her character lies a stratum of pride and arrogance, but beneath that is a pure virgin one of passion and sensibility, which the author takes care to lay open to us in all its beauty and splendour, This is evidently his favourite delineation, and accordingly he has lavished on it all the resources of his genius. The plot of his drama is somewhat forced and clumsy towards the denouement ; but we forget this, in the absorbing interest which we take in the for tunes of his chief personages. As regards the dialogue, it is pointed, familiar, and studded with bright thoughts, and gems of the purest poetry. Occasionally, it is aphoristic, as in the following instances ;•••••••." Curiosity is a woman's palfry, which it befits not a man to ride;"-.—" Duty, that becomes a busy-body, ever turns itself at last out of doors ;" —" A lover is the dullest thing on earth ;"—which are maxims worthy of Rochefoucault. Sometimes, the author conveys a description in a word, as where speaking of a young, slender, and delicate youth, he calls him " a green and osier man." We sub join a specimen or two of his more earnest and impassioned manner What is love's poison, if it be not hate ? Yet in that poison oft is found love's food. Frowns that are clouds to us, are sun to him ! He finds a music in a scornful tongue, That melts him more than softest melody— Passion perverting all things to its mood, And spite of nature, matching opposites." " Love is a hypocrite, looks every way But that where lie its thoughts !. Will openly Frown at the thing it smiles in secret on ; Shows most like hate, e'en when it most is love ; Would fain convince you it is very rock When it is water ! Ice when it is fire! Is oft its own dupe, like a thorough cheat ; Persuades itself 'tis not the thing it is ; Holds up its head, purses its brows, and looks Askant with scornful lip, hugging itself That it is high disdain—till suddenly It falls on its knees, making most piteous suit With hail of tears, and hurricane of sighs, Calling on heaven and earth for witnesses That it is love, true love, nothing but love." Mr. Knowles, we cannot help thinking, has modelled his style rather too rigidly on the school of Elizabeth—an admirable school undoubtedly, but one that cannot be closely imitated without produ cing quaintness, and an appearance of pedantry. The " Thee's," and " Thou's," and " Yea's," and " Nay's," and " Pr'ythee's" with which our author 'plentifully besprinkles his plays, have a 'iirai c ige and awkward effect in the more level and familiar portions of his dialogue. But this, after all,'is. a trivial blemish, and one that will never prevent him from maintaining his station at the head of living dramatists. There is none other that comes within a hundred degrees of him, in skill, knowledge of the human heart in its strength and in its weakness, and, above all, in a healthy and vigorous sensibility. LITERATURE. NEW WEATHER ALMANACK. the styleeiiurphy, This is after by Albert Kenchen. It professes, like the original Weather Almanack, to foretell the state of the weather for every day of the year, w h et h er co ld or hot, or fair or rainy, with every po ss ibl e variety from fair to thunder, lightning, and rain. The author also re sembles Murphy in giving a dissertation on meteo rology and climate. Whether he will be a more successful prognosticator remains to be seen. If his announcements should prove correct, we may count upon a very different summer from the past, for in three months, May, July, and August, there are marked only four days of rain out of 93, with a very partial sprinkling of " changeable." We pray he may turn out a true prophet. There are some strange blunders in the book, which Mr. Kenchen should look to, if he is called upon for a second edition. The list of " her Majesty's Ministers" re quires a sweeping change. MUSICAL REVIEW. SIX NEW SONGS AND BALLADS. WRITTEN BY THOS MOORE, RSQ. Cramer, Addison, and Beale, Regent -street. " The harp that once through Tara's Hall, The soul of music shed," No longer lies mute. Mr. Moore, we are happy to see, has again returned to the delightful regions of poetry and song, after too long a sojourn in the dreary wastes of polemical theology. These songs are all " beautiful exceedingly," as what lyrical effort of our British Catullus is not. Amidst the ocean of nonsensical verses which have of late passed current for songs, this set appears like a green island, gladdening the heart of the weary voyager— an oasis in the desert. These songs are all fairly within the compass of a lady's voice, and easy of execution ; an elegant simplicity is the peculiar characteristic of each of them. The first of the series, " They met but once," is adapted to one of Bellini's most beautiful melodies, which is set in the key of F. The words, which are of a sweetly plaintive cast, are admirably adapted to the air. The next ballad, " Oh, do not look so bright and blest," in our opinion the gem of the collection, is a very sweet composition in B flat from the pen of the poet himself. " The Musical Box" is an elegant, sprightly trifle, with an accom paniment in imitation of a musical box. The music is by Barnett, B flat, and reminds us strongly of the Duke of Reichstadt's Waltz. The fourth ballad, " When to sed music silent you listen," is set by Mr. Moore himself in F. The words and melody are both exceedingly graceful. " The Balfe in E. language of flowers" is one of those exquisite gems of lyric poetry that none but , Moore can write ; he songs that has adapted this to Thalberg s Andante in D.

DESIGN FOR THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. This design for a New Royal Exchange obtained, we are informed, the first premium—that is, the gold medal—of the Royal Academy, to whom accordingly it is dedicated with all due respect and gratitude, by the architect, Mr. J. D. Paine. On a first glance this design strikes the eye by its rich ness and variety ; the long range of front, in parti cular, has a truly imposing effect ; but we should have been glad to have seen a little more chasteness and uniformity as a whole. The small groups of figures scattered along the summits of the.frontage detract from, instead of adding to, the grandeur of the design. The lofty dome, however, which rears its head immediately behind the principal entrance, is exceedingly well-proportioned, and challenges admiration by its simplicity. We wish the design could have been so contrived as directly to front the spectator coming into the city through Cheapside. It would not then, perhaps, from deficiency of space, have so much breadth as it seems to have at present, but it would exhibit a more imposing aspect than now, when one can only gain a side view of it. We speak, however, with diffidence on this point, for we have a very imperfect knowledge of the locality. KNIGHT'S PATENT ILLUMINATED MAPS. Part VII. of the Scriptural series of these newly invented Maps, contains Western Asia, including Asiatic Turkey and Syria—now the great bone of contention between the Paella of Egypt and his Royal master. It contains also an ancient map of the Assyrian and Babylonian kingdoms, with the Scriptural or classical names of towns, rivers, and mountains, and occasional references to the books in which they are described, or alluded to in ancient authors. The different provinces are illuminated (somewhat resembling, but inferior in sharpness and brilliancy, the ancient illuminated MSS.) by applying surface printing in colours, wherever tl►e roller-press and the pencil 'had formerly been used The eye is relieved by the variety of the tints, the sea being in general blue, the mountains left blank, and the other parts of the country distinguished not as in the common coloured maps at the edges or boundaries, but by marking each province of a par ticular colour. The tints, however, ►n the present number, the only one we have seen, are in general too strong, particularly the yellow. A little modi fication would be a great improvement. It would hive a more chaste and light appearance to the map, without at all diminishing the distinctness of the outlines. REMARKABLE CYPRESSES.--Perhaps theol. • cst of which there is any record in the world is the cypress of Soma or Somma, in Lombardy. This cele brated tree, says Loudon, is generally supposed to have been planted the year of the birth of Jesus Christ, and on this account is treated with great reverence by the inhabitants of that part of Lombardy where it grows ; but the Abbe Berle informs us there is an an cient chronicle extant at Milan, which proves that it was a tree in the time of Julius Cwsar, E.c. 42. During the week, the London mail packets to Paris have been obliged to go to Boulogne ; and the Paris mails, to London by sailing boats from Calais, in consequence of the French steamers being detained in our harbour, owing to the prevalence of the strong easterly gales. The Britannia steamer, Captain S. Bushell, left our harbour on Wednesday afternoon, when the sea was running mountains high, with four car riages on deck, and crossed the Channel in gallant style —Dover Chronicle. TORY GRATITUDE.—We have heard from a Member of the Common Council, that the Tory inter ruption at the Lord Mayor's dinner on Saturday, pro ceeded entirely, at least in the quarter where he was, not from citizens of London, but from strangers. What a return for the hospitality of the City—to in sult the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs by raising a distur bance, and heaping abuse on those whom the Civic authorities had invited as their guests. The Tories at one time had the .character of being gentlemen and loyal subjects, but adversity makes sad changes, and introduces those on whom it falls to strange companions. BRUSSELS, Nov. B.—A letter from Alort says, " Our manufacturers are becoming destitute of work men as the trees are of leaves. It is only by making the greatest sacrifices, and by subjecting themselves per sonally to the most rigid economy, that some ma nufacturers are still able to continue their operations. The condition of the indigent classes is accordingly dreadful. Yesterday a discharged workman blew out his brains.—Emancipator. THE LATE REV. RICHARD BLACK.—This aged and respected pastor of the Old Light Secession Church, Perth, died there on Monday last, in the 86th year of his age. He was for many years col league of Dr. Pringle, of the Secession, who also de parted this life a few months ago, in his 88th year. The Presbytery of Aberdeen, at their meeting on Tuesday, agreed to recommend to all the sessions within their bounds to observe the second Wednesday of December as a day of thanksgiving for the late abun dant harvest. SIR WALTER SCOTT.--I never was a physiog nomist. Had I been so at this time, the known highly intellectual character of Sir Walter, contrasted with the expression of his countenance, would at once have shaken my faith in the system, if indeed it had not made me formally renounce it. His face had a remark ably dull appearance, something, in fact, which was cal culated to make any person who was a stranger to his intellectual character associate with it the attribute of stupidity. This I know has repeatedly been done where persons have met with Sir Walter Scott without knowing who or what he was. A few minutes' conver sation with him, however, was generally found sufficient to rectify the erroneous impression. He had great conversational powers. Perhaps, with the exception of Coleridge, and two or three others, none of his contem poraries excelled him in this respect. His matter was almost invariably racy—his manner pre-eminently pleasing. On the evening in question we sat for at least six hours, during which time the conversation scarcely flagged for a moment. Sir Walter Scott in this, as in almost every other similar case, had a com parative monopoly of the talk. Not, certainly, that he wished to engross the right of speaking to himself, but because we were all so fascinated with what fell ftom his lips as to forget what, at other times some of us, perhaps, are too apt to remember, namely, that we have, or imagine we have, " most Sweet voices of our own."—Walks and Wanderings in 11 4 World of Literature, by the Author of " Vhe Metropolis."

" MONMOUTH, MONDAY, Nov. 1 1. " We are as yet, here in a state of doubt and uuter tainty. The Chartists are yet upon the hills. Some strangers have been prowling about this town ; but. es they state, when apprehended, that they come here for protection, of course no farther notice can be taken of them. I have learned that the Chartists, as soon as they heard that the two pieces of artillery were to be sent here to guard the gaol, sent two of their party into this town to discover whether the account was true. Under all circumstances it seems that the insurrectior& is far from being quelled, and if they do rise again the gaol here will be the first object of attack, And yet, notwithstanding this, we have not received any reinforcement of military. The artillery, who were to have been here, have passed on by Chepstow to New port, and there is at present at the gaol only a few old pensioners and the militia-staff, relieved at intervals by a body of the 12th Lancers. This is the language breathed by the paper published in Vincent's name. This paper circulates by thousands in Wales. It is not, therefore, to be wondered at that the deluded Welshmen should have become the victims of the demagogues who have excited them to their ruin, and who have endeavoured to lull the Magistrates into security, and to lead them to believe that all agitation had ceased, by letters, such as the following, received by the Chairman of the County Magistrates, the active and indefatigable Rev.

" f send you below the copy of a letter which was.. r „. ceived yesterday by the Mayor of this town. It dressed to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Comm,A Coun cillors, and bears the London post-mark.

"Under "JESUS CHRIST. JOHN FROST AND LORD JOHN RUSSELL. As Mr. Frost is described in the Vindicator in the following terms—" The virtue of this great man—his nobleland disinterested patriotism—his love of his country —his whole patriotic career—have so endeared him to me, and, I believe, all who know him, that I am de cidedly of opinion that his capture will be the signal to make Wales a scene of the most terrible devastation"— it may be worth while to inquire who Mr. Frost is. The following brief history of his career I have ob tained from the most authentic source. I have seen the documents referred to in it, and therefore I can pledge myself to its accuracy in every particular : " John Frost was brought up a tailor, but, having married a woman of small fortune, he became a shop keeper. In 1821 he published a series of libels against a gentleman at Newport, before publishing the first of which he sent a printed copy of it to the person who was attacked, with a letter, in which he endeavoured to extort money, by informing the person he addressed that unless reparation were made to him for injuries which were never done, he would publish the libel on the following day. The person libelled took no notice of his intended publication (or letter), and the following day he exhibited in his shop windows printed copies of the libels. He had then become a printer, and he printed and pub lished his own writings. That pamphlet having sold freely, be published several other pamphlets, in which he attacked not only the gentleman against whom his first pamphlet was directed, but several other of the most respectable persons in the neighbourhood. For the libels published in the first pamphlet an action was brought against him, and tried before Chief Justice Abbott and a Special Jury, in the Court of King's Bench, in Middlesex, and a verdict obtained against him for 1,0001. damages. To avoid paying those da mages, he procured himself to be arrested by his step father, and went to gaol. Having given noti ce o f ap plying for his discharg e t o th e Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions under the then Insolvent Debtors Act, his discharge was opposed, and he was ordered to be imprisoned in the County gaol of Monmouth for fraud, the present Mr. Justice Bosanquet being the Chairman of' the Sessions at which he was so sentenced. The fraud that he was proved to have committed was concealment of property from his creditors, and opening a shop in the name of his son, John Frost, a mere boy. He was subsequently indicted by the same gentleman wl:o obtained the verdict against him, by two bills of in. dictment for libels contained in two subsequent pamphlets, which indictments were removed into the Court of King's Bench, and tried before special juries at Mon mouth, and he was convicted on each indictment. When he was brought up for judgment he prayed that, if the Court sentenced him to imprisonment, he might be im prisoned in the county gaol at Monmouth ; whereupon he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Cold bath-fields prison, which sentence he underwent. In passing sentence upon him Lord Chief Justice Abbott said, ' It is our duty to see that you arc removed from that county where you have done so much mischief, at least for a time.' About that time, when he thought a revolution was at hand, in a printed letter he addressed the lower orders of people thus :—‘ Look out, my boys ; I recommend every one of you who has received any in jury from one of these fellows to fix on a house or farm. I have already fixed on mine ; it is Wernilee, and when my injuries and the losses' have sustained are considered, every one will think me very moderate.' Werndee is an estate near Newport, of SirC.Morgan, from whom he had never received the slightest injury or affront. He subse quently was a bankrupt. After the formation of the Town Council at Newport the Council intended to have sent to the Secretary of State for the Home Department the name of the person who had proceeded against Frost and of Mr. Brewer, to be placed in the commission of the peace for the borough. Frost wrote a letter to Lord John Russell, informing him that the firstolarned person was an attorney, and his Lordship immediately replied to Frost's letter, that the name of that person would not be placed in the commission because he waP. an attorney. At one time that gentleman's name was on the Rolls, and he was in one of the most respectable firms in the county ; but he had retired from any prac tical participation in the business, and was a person of considerable fortune in the county.. Frost showed Lord John Russell's letter to the Council, and, to tl • astonishment of most persons, he got himself named by a majority of the C ounc il, an d hi s name was sent to Lord John Russell to be put into the commission. The gentleman who had been superseded hearing that, wrote to Lord John Russell a statement of all the circum stances (detailed in this paper,) but his Lordship had not the courtesy to acknowledge the letter, and Frost's name was in a short time afterwards placed in the commission.

ELECTION OF MAYOR AT LIVERPOOL. , .e f or t h at itu ,ai#Joshua Whims sot! The Town Cou nc il o f Li verpool proceee.ed on Sato ,day fell agi ley, Esq., a gentleman whose service e as an earnest It,- former merit the honour. Apart from the possession of a splendid private fort,;me, Mr. ."Walmsley has long been distinguished as the. advocatr.2 of everythi ng tendng to the moral and -political a.avancement of his townsno.o. In his capacity as President of the Liverpool Mechliti . cs . Institution, he has shown his sincere desire for the better education of the people, and his exertions have contri.. buted not a li tt l e to t h e success which has attended t' „e introduction of the Irish system of education into t h e Liverpool corporation schools. As the determinr,d an d se..alous opponent of the Corn-laws, his practior.d know ledge was appreciated in London during the early part of the present year, when the convention sat daily to enlighten the Members of Parliament re'specting their working. More recently, his name, neciane familiar to the readers of the Morning Chror,ide y an argumenta tive and powerfully written Letter .addressed by him, through its pages, to the ,:,eluded Chartists, pointing out, in his capacity as Coairman of the Liverpool Re form Association, the suicidal policy followed by those misguided, tnen, whose conduct has retarded, instead of advan6ng, the progress of Liberal opinions. The election of Mr. Walmsley to the e:vic ela of r Liverpool was unan i mous. The Tories (b y wht • gans in that town he is of course bitterly abused) hir., dislike, but th e y d are d not risk a division, for the r 1 would have displayed their weakness and his op, o h iritv. The election h as g i ven unm i tigated satisfactioi to t h„ Liberal party. Mr. Walmsley's principle?. P. m . R a di ca l , but the urbanity of his manners, and Ills general cha racter, have made him a favourit:2 A:4th the less ex treme section of Reformers. The da.y, probably is not far distant when the new Mayor's. field of usefulnes3 tall be extended, and the present Chief Magistrate of Liver pool become its Parliamentary representativ e . His popularity and prin6ples point him out as the only Lodi, in that community, on the Liberal side, who could wtt'_, any chance of suc cess ease M r. Cresswell from bik tendattee in St. Stephen's. The following is the address of the new 111. 4y0r, on his installation : Mr. War.msLXY expressed his sense of tl-.e confidence which the Council reposed in him. He sioce rely thanked them for their good opinion, a'ad he prized tie honour more highly, because Lc regarded it as a tribute to those political principle s or opinions which he 11.,d uniformly advocated.---(Cheers.) He was known to entertain strong poli‘ieal opinions ; but he hop, A i his zeal and firmness in the maintenance of their w ould never suffer hin t to compromise the dignity of , o ffi ce to lvhich he had been elected. In that offi•.,, he would know no distinction of politics.—Cheers. ln the per fortnance of its duties, his best guide 'wo u',d be the line of conduct pursued by his prodece'..sore , and he enter tained the hope that at the end of Pie term he would resign the trust as he receiv:2d it. —pure and unsus pected.—( Cheers.) ~ J i'~... . -
