We are happy tcl hear there is every prospect of a complete overflow. HAY MARKET THEATRE. The performances at this theatre, last evening, were ho noured by the presence of her Majesty, who seemed highly to enjoy Peake's new comedy of The Sheriff oj the County. We rejoice to find that her Majesty has of late frequently ho noured this theatre by her presence. Her Majesty not only loves, but understands the drama, and it is because she under stands and appreciates it, and is enabled to discriminate be tween good and bad acting, that it is a great thing for any theatre to be honoured by her patronage. Were that pa tronage indiscriminately bestowed, its value would be greatly lessened, but while that patronage is bestowed liberally it is bestowed also most judiciously, while the dramatic mediocri ties are very properly left to find their level. Excellence in every walk of the dramatic art is certain of Royal patronage, and where has that patronage been more judiciously or more worthily bestowed than on the talented Lessee of " Ile Little Theatre" in the Haymarket?

The cliff, at this spot, attains an elevation of about 250 feet, and is composed principally of unstratified white and yellow sand resting upon clay. Hundreds of persons have been attracted to the spot to witness its huge intermingled masses rent into lofty pinnacles and deep ravines by the overwhelming pressure of the subterraneous waters collected in the caverns of the - cliff, and presenting the idea of an earthquake, but without its concomitant 119iT9P.-2Vorgrich Mercury.

This suit was instituted for the specific performance of the purchase of certain premises situate in the Belvidere-read, in the borough of Southwark. The cause formerly came before, the Court upon exceptions to the Master's report, when it was decided that the plaintiff could not make a marketable title to the premises, in consequence of the original lessee not having built the number of houses which he stipulated by his covenant to erect. The cause now came on upon further directions, and after some discussion, • Lord LANGDALE directed that the. deposit should be re turned with interest at 4/. per cent., and dismissed the bill with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 28. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord DENMAN, and a Common Jury.) PATTENDEN V. HUDSON. This case arose out of an execution made by the defendant on the goods of a person, named Pollard, supposing that they belonged to him ; but it appeared that the goods in question were bought by the plaintiff, who now brought his action. The question for the jury was whether the transaction between Pattenden and Pollard was a bona fide one.

WORTH WALES MINERAL RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly meeting olthe Shareholders in this undertaking was held yesterday, at the office of the Company, in Moorgate• street, Dlr. W. R. Co'lett, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that a further extension of the line bad been set on foot by an independent Company, viz., from the Ruabon terminus, by way of Oiwestry to Shrewsbury, connecting it with the proposed line to Bir mingham. To meet the accession which was likely to result to their traffic from this extension, the Committee recommended that the necessary capital should be provided for in the present Bill to enable them to make the line double. The capital for this purpose, and for the branches from the main line, would rt quire an addition to the present capital of about 90,000/, which the Directors proposed to provide for in the Dill, by the creation of 9,000 ad• ditional shares of 10/., which wou'd admit of one share to each holder of a 201. share, and one share for every two 10L extension shares. A contract had been entt red into for completing the works of the roadway and stations for 72,0291., as well as fur the rails for the permanent way.

On Tuesday evening the King and Queea of the French received the Prussian Minister, the Spanish Charg6 d'Affaires, the Marquis de Grille, the Count d'Haussonville, and M. de Vanden!, Peers of France, the Count de l'Aigle, the Baron de Humboldt, the Vis count de Montesquieu, and Lieut.-General Gourgaud. Marshal Bugeaud is to leave Paris for Algiers on tl e sth inst. A great number of the Deputies of the South, representing the localities to be traversed by the Bordeaux and Celle railroad, had waited on the Minister of Public Works to call his attention to the propriety of presenting the Bill relating to this line as soon as pos sible. The Minister replied that all the surveys were now com pleted, and that he should urge the Council of Ponts et Chaussees to examine the matter rapidly, so that the Bill might be presented in the commencement of May. By this means, the Bill would reach the stage ofreport la one of the Chambers this year, which would enable Its being voted at the beginning of next session. There are at present (says the Courrier Francois) sixteen rail. roads terminated in France, extending a length of 806 kilometres (about 500 miles), at a cost of 286,600,000 f. Seventeen others are either traced out or in course of execution, to a length of 2,947 kilometres (about 1,840 miles). The whole cost of, these is calculated at 470,200,000 f , of which 185,000,000 C will be ex. pended in 1845. - M. Roland, the butcher, says Gatignani, who went to England for the purpose of presenting to the Queen a round of beef from Pere Goriot, the beeuf-gras, has returned to Paris delighted with the reception that he met with in England. The Queen being at Brighton, M. Roland proceeded to that place, and unpacked his voluminous present in the presence of her Majesty and Prince Al bert. The Queen not only did M. Roland the honour to accept his homage of respect, but in the most kind and gracious terms ex pressed her thanks. The attentions shown to M. Roland by some of the most eminent butchers of London have, it appears, con vinced him of the sincerity of the entente cordiale. A letter from Rome, of the 10:h, announces the arrival in that city of the Countess of Nassau, widow of the late King of Holland. It appears from an official document which has just been pub. lished that the number of negro slaves at this time in Algeria is 1,253. They are chiefly from Bornou, Haoussa, and Timbuctoo. Since the year IS3O the importation of slaves has been gradually decreasing. COUI M - PASHXON.A.II3LE. The Speaker of the House of Commons will hold his first levee for the present session, this evening, at his mansion in Eatou.square. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Dowager Marchioness of Westminster, Lady Robert Grosvenor, and the Hon. Gilbert Grosvenor, are still at Eaton Hall, Cheshire. The noble family intend to leave that seat it a few days. The Marquis of Normanby has returned to the Clarendon Hotel, from Mulgrave Castle. The Earl of Harrowby continues indisposed in Grosvenor-square; Lord and Lady Frances Sandon and the Hon. G. M. and Lady Louisa Forte cue are staying with his Lordship. Lord Wynford is seriously indisposed at his seat, Lessons, Kent. It is rumoured that Lord R. Grosvenor has been left a legacy of 200,0001. under the will of his late father Viscount Bernard, m.r., has left town for Castle Bernard, the seat of the Earl of Bandon. The Noble Lord has paired off until after the Easter recess with the Right Hon. D. R. Pigot. Lord and Lady De Ros have arrived at their villa at Thames Dittos, from visiting Earl and Countess Delawarr, at Buckhurst Park, Sussex. Lord Francis Egerton has left Bclgrave.square for his seat, Hatchford Hall, near Cobham. The Duke of Leeds has been indisposed at Hornby Castle, which prevented his Grace from coming to town early in the week. The Earl and Countess of Plymouth have arrived at their seat, Knowle Park, Kent, from a visit to Earl and Countess Delawarr, at Buckhurst Park, Sussex. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Oakeley, the Puseyite clergyman of Margaret Chapel, has contradicted the paragraph which appeared in most of the papers, stating that he had been suspended by the Bishop of London. Re port, however, states that he had been actually suspended, but soon restored at the request of Mr. Gladstone. Some of the Edinburgh papers state that Sir Henry Bishop has declared his intention of standing for the Music-chair, which he vs. cated only a few months back from ill-health. At the anniversary festival of the Humane Society, on Wednes day last, the Fothergillian gold medal, of the value of 50 guineas, was presented to Mr. John Erichsen, of Welbeck-street, for a treatise on the pathology and treatment of asphyxia; and also to Mr. Kay Shuttleworth, of the Privy Council Chamber, for a work on the same subject, published some years ago. A meeting of the Covent-garden actors took place on Wednes day, on the stage of the theatre, and was adjourned to the follow ing day (Thursday), to take into consideration certain propositions of the manager, Mr. Laurent, upon the adoption of which de. pended the re-opening of the house. The meeting broke up again, however, without coming to any definite resolution upon the — VG. Great Western Railway Company from Dublin to Mul. lingar, Athlone, and Longford, whose project was rejected by the Board of Trade, have resolved to lodge a deposit of 45,0001. to prosecute their petition before Parliament. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland has distniised, with costs, the bill of Mr. Calcraft, for an injunction to prevent Mr. West, or any one but the plaintiff, as patentee of Hawkins.street Theatre Royal, performing the regular drama in Dublin. At a meeting of the Essex Agricultural Association, held at the Saracen's Head, Chelmsford, on Thursday, a petition to the House of Commons was adopted, in which the petitioners pray the Ho nourable House to revise the proposed financial measures, and to afford them the redress so much needed by so large a portion of her Majesty's subjects. It is understood that the petition will be pre sented by Sir John Tyrrell, Bart., and that the other county Mem. bers will support its prayer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
