We lave repeatedly expressed surprise at the obsti nacy with which the Post-Office authorities opposed the institution of Parliamentary inquiries into the ma nagement of that establishment. Had we read the sixth Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry—the conclusi.cm of which we this day publish—we should have deemed the conduct of these gentlemen exceed ingly na:tural. There is something so gratifying to the ge nerality of mankind in commanding the means of ease, pleasure., rank, and fashionable society, without being obliged to stoop to the drudgery which awaits the mass of our Allow -creatures, that it ought to excite no sur prise whten persons are found not over-scrupulous as to the rigid: equity of such means, provided they can con trive to maintain an unblemished reputation in the eyes of tie world. Let it not be here presumed that we seek to characterise a party or a faction in the State. - Far from it. Among the most staunch Post office Reformers we are happy to rank several cham pions of Toryism ; and in the list of those implicated in maintaining the abuses of that Department intact there are individuals of every shade of opinion—Whig, Tory, and Radical. Upon one point the system was sure to create unanimity of opinion among all who profited by it—the danger of attempting a change. The shrine of Diana was threatened by Reform, con sequently the very existence of the craft was perilled. Whatever might be the universal good which a change of system might effect, the partial evil was both obvious and tangible. We shall not refer to the cant of public morality, with a view to cast additional odium on such combinations to defeat the ends of jus tice. There is something so indefinite in the idea of plundering such a many-headed monster as a nation so wealthy, pOwerful, and indifferent to trifling losses as Great Britain, that we feel no astonishment at learn ing that some men holding official situations in this country can pocket an unearned salary without a qualm of conscience. A reference to that part of the Report which we this day lay before our readers will skew that the Coin missioners:_suggestions are completely borne out ccr.'- ; „It discloses abuses of the most m0n 5ti44...4147---.abtises which we were previously of opi rtiaiidid not exist, te.an equal extent, in any one public 4partment in this country. Except the Weymouth Ytioket Station, under the superintendence of Mr. ; STEVENS, there is not one which does not impera tively demand a thorough cleansing under the eye of a Board appointed by the House of Commons. At Liverpool, at Holyhead, at Portpatrick, and, in fact, at every Packet Station, with the single exception made above, it appears that time had all but sanctified the perpetration of acts, not more consonant with every principle of justice than those for which two-thirds of the convicts in British Australia have been exiled for the period of their natural lives. Take the following extract as an instance The agent at Holyhead permitted the officers of the dock-yard to sell stores of every description to private in dividuals, or to purchase them for their own use. We understand that this practice, which we consider to be most objectionable, is strictly prohibited in his Majesty's naval yards. " The resident engineer was also ,permitted to manu facture articles for his own private use and emolument in the dock-yard, to employ the workmen, and to take what ever materials he required from the Government stores, using the iron which was entrusted to his own charge. " He was also allowed to take coals from the stores, either for the purpose of working up his own materials in the dock-yard, or to dispose of to others. * * * * " There was no muster of the artificers or workmen on coming into the dock-yard. The accounts of the men employed were invariably put in by the engineer or store keeper just as they pleased. " It appears that one man, who had been absent in Scot land, was regularly entered in the engineer's books as having been during that period daily employed in the dock-yard. # # # " The stores were left in a most unsafe and unprotected state. No watch was kept during the night, nor was there any person belonging to the establishment who resided near the yard. " The timber was allowed to remain in an open field, without any brand or mark to distinguish it ; and the number of keys which different people had of the dock-yard afforded access to the stores at all times. Great facility was thus given for the commission of fraud and peculation. Stores might have been charged against the different packets or colliers to almost any amount, without the possibility of detection. And the permission granted to the resident engineer and storekeeper to dispose of stores to private indi viduals, afforded them the opportunity of selling those stores for their own advantage, without exciting immediate suspi cion of fraud on their part. * * * * * " We have received a report of the survey of Mr. M'Knight, and now lay it before your Lordships, together with his evidence. " It has been impossible to trace the extent to which pecu lation has been carried, but from the statement be gives, there is-every reason to suppose it must have been consi derable. He says that the accounts of the receipts and issues are so complicated as to afford no check on the re mains in store ; not one half of the things that are in the establishment being made any retu r n o f whatever.' " Mr. M'Knight also states that he has clearly provcdan overcharge of 1,000 tons cf coals a year to the packets ; but with respect to the other stores, he could find, in many cases, no books or accounts showing what remained, and that, although he found by his survey what actually re mained, he could not - tell what ought to have remained.' " These extracts will show that abuses at the packet stations had become tire rule instead of the exception. In fact the practices here denounced as injurious to the public service, had gone on so long that they had ceased to create surprise. The Commissioners are too hard on the Post-Office authorities, when they give to this wholesale appropriation the name of peculation. Peculation implies concealment, but here there was no attempt made to conceal anything. The officers of the Post-Olce, with a more than pa trifirchal simplicity, did not even appoint a dog to watch the public property ; and what remained over 'night, after the visitations of thieves, they divided among themselves, in proportion to their wants, in the morning ! But notwithstanding the disclosures that:have been made, we are constrained to take notice of the conduct of a few functionaries, who have still the hardihood to believe that, they can stem the popular tide of reform before entering this establishment. Such eforts arrested the prOgress of Reform when recom mended by the Committee of Fees and Gratuities in 1787, and 'ny the Finance Committee in 1797 ; but they will only involve in ruin those who have recourse to them in 1837, after the disclosures that have now been made. It is too late to resist the popular will by the maintenance of a cause, of which everybody can judge of the merits. When the abuses of the Post-office were so little known that a Minister of the Crown could venture to say, without fear of contradiction, that a Member of the House of Com mons was not borne out by the facts of the case in ven turing to condemn its management—there was then plenty room for conducting its defence and vilifying its assailants. But that time is past. The veil has been raised, and the hideous mass beneath it is now visible. It is therefore madness or worse to seek to screen it from those intent on its removal. It is not yet three years since Mr. WALLACE denounced the Post-Office management. What said the then Post- Master-General, the Duke of RICHMOND ? Why, his Grace, in his place in the House of Lords, stated that Mr. WALLACE had attacked an all-but-imma culate public establishment. We pray the Noble Duke to read the Report which we now submit to the public. It will convince him that there may be abuses in a department of the public service alto gether unknown to the Minister ostensibly at the head of 'it ; and perhaps it may induce him to be more cautious in his assertions for the time to come. Mr. WALLACE is now proved to have had a mote intimate acquaintance with the working of the Post- Office system than his MAJESTY'S then Postmaster- General. The public owes much to Lord LOWTHER —Tory as he is—and to the other Commissioners, for the manner in which they have discharged the trust reposed in them by the Government. It will be seen by an advertisement, in another part of to-day's Sun, that a public dinner is to be given to Mr. O'CONNELL on Saturday next, at Bungay. This is a more signal proof of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman's increasing popularity than any he has yet experienced, at least in England; for the neighbour hood of Bungay constitutes, it is well known, the most aristocratic and parson-ridden portion of the most aris tocratic and parson-ridden county in all England ; and of course, had it been practicable, the Suffolk Squirearchy would have taken good care to prevent the dinner in question. But the principles of Reform are triumphing here as elsewhere, bearing down—slowly, indeed, but surely—all opposition before them ; and, in a few years, we may expect to find the Tory par sons and squires of Suffolk, following in the wake of DAN, and proclaiming themselves sound, uncompro mising Reformers. Meantime, we congratulate Mr. O'CONNELL on this last flattering—and, we may add, unexpected—token of public approbation, which is more than sufficient to repay him for all the calumnies, and sneers, and insults, that, for months past, have been so unblushingly heaped upon him by the slander ous Tory press. We have repeatedly directed the attention of our readers to the subject of local taxation, and the im mense burthen imposed upon the inhabitants of the metropolis, under the various imposts which it corn prizes. The local government of this great metro polis is extremely defective ; and the multifarious boards appointed to effect the object, and the absence of popular controul over a great majority of them, oc casion the charizes upon the inhabitants to be very great, without any corresponding return from so large an expenditure. Our attention has been again called to the subject by two documents, which we insert in this day's paper, the one emanating from the magistrates of the county of 7 kliddlesex, and the other from the representative vestry of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square ; the _first being the annual abstract of the receipt and THE SUN, iA0.11)0N, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1836. expenditure of the county rates of Middlesex; and the other an exposure of the manner in which the county is so enormously taxed, with suggestions as to the remedy in a popular controul over the assessing, collecting, and expending the county rates of Middlesex. The inhabitants of the metropolis are scarcely aware of the existence of such an impost as county rates. The sum demanded from them for purposes to which county rates are applicable, is paid by them in the shape of a poor rate, and the extraordinary reduction, which the Poor Law Amendment Act, with the infusion of the representative system of managing local affairs, by the medium of Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE'S Vestry Act, Irender them content with the sum they now pay in poor rate assessment. But in analyzing the documents we insert to-day, we find that " the county rates have taken from St. George's, Hanover-square, more than ONE FOURTH of the whole poor rate assessment ;" we also find that the county rate taxation is increasing ; for the sum paid by that parish, for the year ending at Lady Day last, is 7,2161. 13s. 4d., being an increase upon the pie vious year of 6961. ls. 6d. On a reference to the document published by the magistrates, we find that under the item" Gaols," the Middlesex magistrates have during the last year, expended no less a sum than forty-one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four pounds—an amount of expenditure so frightful as to be almost beyond the bounds of credibility, were it not for the authenticity _of the document which establishes the fact. Another item of expenditure of the county rates is " Lunatics and Lunatic Asylum," for the year, fourteen thousand two hundred and nine pounds ; so that for gaols and lunatics the year's expenditure has been within a fraction of fifty-six thousand pounds. The extravagance of the expenditure in these two sources of ,charge, upon the inhabitants of the metro polis, never could have occurred under any system but one which, like the constitution of the magistracy of of the county of Middlesex, is irresponsible to those who are compelled to furnish the funds. We present these important documents to the attention of our rea ders, because they deeply affect their interest ; and we are sure that an acquaintance with the evils which the present irresponsible management of the county funds entails upon the rate payers of Middlesex, will inevit ably lead to the cure ; and we hope that the representa tive vestries of the metropolis will immediately feel it to be their duty to pay particular attention to the sub ject. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 18th inst., have been received. The New Ministers were officialy Gazetted on the night of the 15th ; but from the tone manifested by the Chamber of Procuradores du ring the sitting of the following day, we should not be surprised to learn that they have already sent in their resignations. The following is the official list of the New Cabinet : Don Francisco Javier de Isturiz, President of the Coun cil Ministers and Secretary - of State for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Senor Mendizabal. Don Angel Saavedra, Duke de Rivas, :Minister of the In tenor ; in the room of Don Martin de las Heros. Don Antonio Seoane, Minister of War ; in the room a Gen. Don Jose Ramon Rodil. Don Jose Ventura Aguirre Solarte, Minister of Finance in the room of Senor Mendizabal. Don Antonio Aleala Galiano, Minister of Marine ; in the room of Don J. M. Chacon, whose appointment had not been completed. IsTurtrz had named Senor GONZALES Minister of Grace and Justice ; but on more mature reflection, the President of the Council judged it imprudent to re move GONZALES from the Presidency of the Cham ber of Procuradores, where his services were more especially requisite. As two of the Ministers were ab sent from Madrid when their appointments were made out, it was at once obvious to the Chambers that MENDIZABAL had been betrayed, by means of a base intrigue, set on foot with a view to effect the downfall of his Administration. But the new Ministry were not long permitted to enjoy unclouded the sunshine of office. As soon as they had taken their seats as Mi nisters in the Chamber, on the morning of the 16th, Senor PIZANO and several other Deputies refused to hear Senor GALIANo and the Duke de RIVAS as Ministers, till after the Chamber had received a mes sage announcing their appointment, in the name of her Majesty the QUEEN. ISTURIZ defended his Col leagues, and insisted upon their Ministerial right to speak ; but the Chamber was of a different opinion, and the IIeNV Ministers were obliged to evacuate the Ministerial Benches before the right of speaking was conceded to them. Shortly afterwards a message from the QUEEN communicated to the Chamber the change in her Majesty's Councils ; whereupon the new Mi nisters resumed the Benches which they had just left. No sooner, however, had the Ministers taken their places thanthe following Declaration, signed by forty four Deputies, was handed to the President of the Chamber for immediate discussion We ask the Estamento before the sitting of to-day he closed to decktre solemnly, 1. That: the extraordinary powers granted to the Go vernment in the last Session by the vote of confidence have ceased since , the opening of the present Cortes. " 2. That if the actual Cortes be closed or dissolved without havi.n6; voted the taxes, none can be required from the day on wiiich they be dissolved or closed. " 3. That all loans or anticipations of any kind whatever which may 1e contracted for without the authorization of the Cortes a re null and void." _ _ _ Afierce ,liscussion arose on this document, in which all the leading orators took a part. Senor ISTURIZ endeavoured. to quash the proceedings by moving the protest info) nal, which was overruled. He next deli vered a lo> lg speech in support of his principles and those of his colleagues. He knew no party, and only desired to serve his country. Senor LOPEZ denounced the new Cal knet as the creation of a clique behind the Throne, and, depending for support on Foreign (i. e. French) ini lu ence in that assembly. After a debate of several by )ars the Chamber divided, when the num bers were—• For the motion, and thereby rescinding the vote of confidence Against-. it Refrain ed from voting Decideo majority against Ministers Such is ;he inauspicious commencement of Senor IsTuniz's Presidency. MENDIZABAL was present during the discussion, but with great good taste ab stained fror a taking any part whatever in it. The Ne w Ministers are most unpopular out of doors. So strong was the public feeling against them that on th Lc evening of the 16th, a patrole was re quired to e s.cort them borne in safety. In the course of the nigh a mob attacked the dwelling-house of GALIANO, the windows of which they completely demolished .; and they would as certainly have mur dered the o w ner had he fallen into their hands. • The RI :G:ENT is sadly perplexed. She begins to feel that ;he was wrong in giving ear to the base wretches I vho have contrived to obtain her confidence. But it is too late to yield with dignity, and therefore she looks t CoRDOVA for the means of extricating herself. r. ['he extraordinary and immediate success of her arms i a the North can alone relieve the QUEEN and the C; 'billet from their mutual embarrassments. The crec lit of the new Cabinet is on a par with its popularity. MENDIZABAL had contracted a loan of thirty Milli ins of reals with the house of ARDOUIN of Paris. Ai ► agent was sent to pay the money to the President of the Council in Madrid on the 14th inst. On than t day MENDIZABAL was dismissed, and a successor ap pointed. IsTurtiz being in want of ten millions of reals applied for it in the name of the Government, and .though the money was payable to MENDIZABAL as a Minister of the Crown, it was re fused to his successor, the new President of the Council. This mortifying incident was noticed by the Procuradores in the sitting of the 16th, without a syllable condemnatory of the conduct of the Banker's Agent. The plot thickens, and we shall shortly have the denouement. We have seen letters from Madrid to a late hour on the 17th. They represent the ferment in the capital as continually increasing, and assuming a most alarm ing attitude. M. ISTURIZ had been for a consi derable time closeted with the QUEEN, and rumours were circulated amongst the best in formed circles, and met with considerable credit, that the decree for the dissolution of the Cortes, had been signed. From the provinces we have yet no certain news ; but the courier, the bearer of the letters above mentioned, noticed during his progress to the frontier, unequivocal symptoms of tur bulence. Accounts from the army were looked for with the greatest anxiety—the consequences of the stoppage of all supplies to that quarter, at the present critical mo ment, were contemplated with dismay. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday. Their contents are unimportant. The fol. lowing are extracts :- PARIS, MAY 22.-It is affirmed that a law on the Na tional Guard, supplementary to that of 1831, will be shortly presented to the Chamber of Deputies. It is said to be in a great measure the work of General Jacqueminot. It consists principally in the multiplication and aggravation of the punishments. Whatever may be the zeal of Gene ral Jacqueminot, it is doubtful whether his new penal code for the citizen-soldiers can be voted, or even discussed, dur ing the present session. The Minister of Commerce has authorized the Revue Commerciale to publish documents existing in his office, to guide the French merchants in their relations with foreign countries. To-day at noon the inquiry respecting the project for the iron railroads from Paris to Rouen, Dieppe, and Havre, which has been going on for this month past, at the Hotel de Ville, was closed.-National, May 23.

A French paper received this morning contains the fol lowing :—" The Emperor of Russia has seven children, amongst whom are three Princesses. The eldest is the Grand Duchess Marie Nicolaiewna; it is said she is hand some—has a great wish to see France—and the Court of Russia, in favour of her desire, have appointed persons to accompany her. Reports are already spread in the salons of St. Petersburgh of the probability of a marriage be tween the Duchess Marie and the Prince Royal, Duke of Orleans. It is added that the Princess Marie, in all like lihood, will be at Berlin during the visit there of the Duke of Orleans." The accounts received from Madrid this morning to the 18th inst., are of an interesting nature. The new Ministry have been officially announced, and had taken their scats in the Procuradores. Their first proceedings proved ominous. They have already been defeated and outvoted, and warned that no supplies would be granted to them. The public feeling of Madrid is also hostile to them. Returning from the Chamber of Procuradores, they have experienced the sense of the people—being hooted, and their windows broken in the evening. But from the various provinces we apprehend they have most to dread. Juntas are about to be formed against them, who will not obey their decrees. Petitions out of number will thunder in the ears of the Queen, to replace her former Ministers ; and if she does not obey the voice of the people, her palace will be in danger, and her evil advisers trampled to the earth. The turmoil, which is at present prevailing at Madrid, had a material effect on the Spanish Active Stock this morning which closed at 44 s ; opened this morn ing at 411, since which the Market appears more firm, and they may be quoted at 411. The general opinion in the city is, that the new Ministry at Madrid cannot last any,length of time, and that M. Mendizabal will be again recalled by the Queen.

The general topic on 'Change and in the City, at the various Coffee-houses.is the present critical state of Spain, and causes much anxiety to the holders of Spanish Securi ties ; although the prevailing opinion is, that i❑ a few days the New Ministry will be obliged to retire, we apprehend they will make a desperate struggle, and dissolve the Cham bers.

In fact, so beneficial have the few warm days of last week been to the bines, that hands can hardly be procured to tie them fast enough. The im provement is particularly observable in the Maidstone, Far leigh, and Banning districts; but in Leeds, °them. Langley, and some other districts, the bine is much affected by the flea, and has not benefited so extensively. It is not a little remarkable, says a letter from Vienna, that the apartments in the Imperial Palace that are being prepared for the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, were occupied a few days ago by the Duchess of Angouleme, and are the same that were occupied by the Duke de Reichstadt. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE. — WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—Last night, about eleven o'clock, the house of a grocer named Ford, in Thames-street, Windsor, was discovered to be on fire. Mr. and Mrs. Ford saved their lives by climbing over the roofs of several houses, but we are sorry to add that nothing yet can be heard of three youths of the establishment, an errand boy, and two apprentices, whose names are Beane, Nine, and Sutheringwood, and who were observed at one time in the front part of the house crying for assistance. The most fearful apprehensions are entertained that the poor fellows are buried in the ruins. Ford's house is burnt to the ground, and the houses right and left of it, occu pied by Cobbett and Eastwood, are nearly gutted. Mr. Frowd's academy is slightly injured, but those houses on the opposite side of the street, in the occupation of Messrs. Lay_ ton, Roberts, and Cobden and Jacobs, are much damaged. The origin of the fire has not yet been ascertained. Since writing the above the body of one of the sufferers has been dug from the ruins. The Dieppe journals state, that a woman, named named Barrais, residing there, was last week delivered of twins, who were joined together by the cheek and nose. One of them died shortly after its birth, and the other, who was dis sected from its companion, is living, and likely to do well. We regret to hear, that the mother has since died. RARE OCCURRENCE.—At the audit of a certain M. P., on Wednesday last, the tenants assembled as usual ; dinner was provided, of which they partook, and as no agent appeared to receive the rents, they returned home with the money in their pockets.— Worcester Guardian, CHANCERY COURT-THIS DAY The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morn ing, intimated to the Bar that in future it was his intention to sit in the House of Lords on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and in the Court of Chancery on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. His Lordship was occupied the greater part of the morning with a cause petition of Andrews v. Walton, in which the petitioner, Mr. An. drews, who has been incarcerated for contempt in the Fleet for some years, pleaded his own cause. He had not con cluded when we left. ROLLS COURT-(THIS DAY). FEW V. GUPPY. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing the further arguments upon a motion (which was part heard yesterday) made in this cause to amend a Bill of Discovery. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GILPIN. This was the petition of the Regius Professor of Ana tomy, Christ Church, Oxford, praying that the Dean and Chapter of that College might be ordered to pay his salary for a certain period. The facts of the case were shortly these :—By the will of Dr. Lee, a school of anatomy was founded in the College of Christ Church, Oxford, and the professor directed to deliver annually a course of lectures on anatomy, and to demonstrate them by dissecting two bodies. Up to the period of Mr. Warburton's Act, as the com pliance with the provisions contained in the will would have been illegal, the dissecting two bodies was dispensed with, and the demonstrations were made upon preparations, but when that Act passed the provisions of the will were complied with. In December, 1832, an order was made by the Court upon the Dean and Chapter, directing them to pay the salary to the Regius Professor, but some delay took place in drawing up the order, for the purpose of enabling the parties to ascertain the provisions of Mr. War burton's Act ; during that period the Regius Professor of Anatomy had not been paid his salary, to obtain which was the object of the present application. The petition also prayed that the Dean and Chapter, who had several livings, some of which were very inconsiderable, might be at liberty to apply a sum of 1,0001., which had arisen from the rents and profits of a general bequest for the purpose of aug menting one of these livings. His HONOUR made the order as prayed. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) MARKS AND OTHERS V. LAHEE. Mr. ALEXANDER applied in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict found for the plaintiff on the 14th of May last, should not be set aside and a verdict entered for the defendant. This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiffs, the assignees of Messrs. Colnaghi, prin ters and publishers, to recover certain u pper-plates, etchings, pictures, prints, impressions, &c., which were in the possession of the defendant before the bankruptcy of Colnaghi. The facts of the case were these .—Colnaghi, before his bankruptcy, was indebted to the defendant in a sum of 400/., and at this time the defendant had in his possession a number of copper-plates belonging to Col naghi, the defendant, being a worker of engravings, and having these plates to work impressions. It appeared, that as regarded the copper-plates there was an agreement between Colnaghi and the defendant, which was contained in a letter, from Colnaghi to the defendant, in which the former stated that the amount in money due to the de fendant was MO/. ; for this sum he requested him to con sider the copper-plates in question as a security, as also for the bill of 45/. It was clear that to this extent the de fendant had a right to retain the plates as security. The plaintiffs in their replication alleged the payment of 1041., in part discharge of the defendant's demand, and a tender of 100/.. which they averred to be sufficient to cover the remainder. The defendant in his rejoinder denied the sufficiency of the tender, and the question was, whether a sufficient tender had been proved. The question mainly turned upon the admission of an entry made by the clerk of the plaintiff's attorney. in the books of the office ; the clerk having died between the period of making the entry and the trial of the cause. The entry was to the effect that he, the clerk, had tendered to the defendant the sum of 1001. which the defendant declined. He (Mr. Alexander) objected to this evidence as proof of a tender, and referred t o the case of " Chambers v. Bernasconi" and other cases, to show that such evidence, had before been tendered and refused. The Learned Counsel was proceeding in his argument when our Reporter left. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

By a sen tence of Bth March last the tribunal acquitted M. Verbist, " because," says the sentence, " there is no penal law ap plicable to wounds inflicted in duels." The Attorney-Ge neral having appealed from this sentence, the Court of Ap peal at Brussels, conformably to the legislation of the Court of Cassation, decided yesterday, May 20, that wounds in flicted in a duel are punishable : but in consideration of some exculpatory circumstances, the Court applying Art. 463 of the Penal Code, only condemned M.

The entertainments at this Theatre on Monday night v ariety of characters, and exhibited to great advantage hi s powers as an actor, as well as a first-rate mimic. His imitation of Paganini M on d a y night was admirable. The peculiar flourish, of the bow—the manner of holding the violin —the oddity' of the gait—the cadaverous countenance —the grovelling avarice—the cringing but ungraceful sycophantishness of deportment —were represented to the life. The only thing that struck us as deficient in the portrait of the celebrated torturer of cat-gut, was that the trousers were rather too long, and scarcely wide enough. This may appear too minute a criticism ; but nothing th a t contributes t o perfection of a picture, not even the minutest touches, are to be neglected—and as M. L'Herie is to repeat the imi tation to-night, it may be worth his while to attend to it. The other performances were Le Roi de Prusse et le Comedien, Le Duel et le Dejeuner, Aeteurs Angl ais, and La Sonnette de Nuit, in the last of which pieces Al• L'Herie played four different parts, and drew from a fashionable audience many testimonies of a pprobatio n. This accomplished performer appears for the last time this season to-night, when he will contribute largely to the public amusement, at the benefit of Madame Jenny Vertre' HAY MARKET. Poole's New Drama, entitled Atonement, or the God daughter, was produced last night it this Theatre. It is, we . believe, an adaptation from the French, and far stTe nor to the ordinary run of the pieces which our dramatists, failing in original invention, transplant from the Theatres of Paris. An interval of eighteen years is supposed to elapse between the two Acts. The plot afforded scope for much good acting. Mr. Strickland, as a vain old fa ther,i played with great comic humour, and contributed n no slight degree to the success of the drama. Miss TilY lor was also highly effective in the part of Clara.
