T E HAYMARKET THEATRE. The benefit of Mr. F. Webster took place at this theatre last evening, and he had a bumper, which he well deserves. So densely was the home filled that many persons were unable to obtain admittance. The performance commenced with Sheridan Knowles's play of Love, in which Mr. W. Morgan, a pupil of Mr. F. Webster, made his first appearance before a metropolitan audience in the character of Huon, and by his performance proved that he had been educated is a good echool ; he was much applauded through out. The Countess Eppenstein of Miss Reynolds was full of pathos and energy, and she achieved a brilliant and most deserved success, and was several times called on. Miss Emma Harding, who has hitherto been known to the play-going public as exclusively a votary of Thalia, made her first appearance as a worshipper of the tragic muse, in the character of the Empress ; she acted the part with great dignity, her recitation was admirable, and she looked the haughty Empress to the life. Miss Cooper, as Catherine, was full of arch and graceful espieglierie; she made every point tell, and was honoured with a call at the conclusion. The opera of the Sonnambula followed, and the perform ances concluded with the farce of the Unfinished Gentleman. ADELPHI THEATRE. The performances at this theatre last evening were for the benefit of that useful actor, Mr. James Wor rell, whose friends mustered around him in great force. The house was crowded in every part. LYCEUM THEATRE. This theatre closed its doors last night, the occasion being the benefit of Madame Vestrh. No official speech was delivered, but Mr. Charles Mathews was called before the curtain at the end of the Game of Speculation, and was loudly and enthusiastically cheered. The Lyceum, we have reason to believe, has profited, as well as other establishments devoted to the public amusement, by the inordinate influx of strangers into the metropolis. The nightly attendances have been large to a degree, and upon many occasions numbers of individuals were turned away from the doors. The reputation that the management of Madame Vestris enjoyed brought forth its legitimate fruit, and the elegance and taste which have always identified her managerial sway in former times were more than exemplified by the aspect and sentiment of the pieces which have been played. Madame Vestris has in variably been celebrated for care and libe rality in carrying out the duties of a lesseesbip, and her past career at the Lyceum is but an additional instance of the delicacy of artistic feeling by which she has ever been animated. Wherever she sets foct as a manager, there do we find improvement in all that appertains to ensemble and embellishment. Presses, scenery, and appointments, alike bear witness to the sensitiveness of her taste, the shrewdness of her judgment, and the freedom of her expenditure. The King of the Peacocks and King Charming have in particular memorably demonstrated these qualities, and we need hardly point to them as unrivalled spe cimens of spectacular decorations. This has been universally allowed, and their popularity, conse quently, has been unbounded. But the same types of brilliant and alluring completeness have marked all the holiday productions at the Lyceum, and it is unfair to make exceptions. The vaudevilles which have from time to time appeared in 1851 have been adaptations from the French, and, prepared chiefly with a view to illustrate the elastic and vivacious gaieties of Mr. Charles Mathews, they have worn a special and inviting peculiarity. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A comedietta, from the pen of Mr. Banks, who is, we believe, a new aspirant for fame, was produced here last evening, under the title of Caught in his own Trap. The story is based upon the assumption of the existence, in some unnamed country, of a law, rendering marriage —should the lady choose — compulsory on a gentleman seen by witnesses any four times in conversation with any member of the fair sex. An old bachelor lawyer (Mr. Farren) has a wild young nephew (Mr. lianloch). The nephew wishes to marry ; the uncle refuses permission, unless the nephew obtains a wife with twenty thousand francs, undertaking, for his own part, to give that, or a larger sum, to his nephew, if the nephew ever finds him, the uncle, ever married. The nephew seeks the aid of the step-mother (Mrs. Phillips) of the lady with whom he is in love. ; and the step-mother being the widow of a lawyer, and cognizant of the apocry phal "statute," contrives to be seen four different times in the company, and once, when fainting, in the arms of the unsuspecting old bachelor. He all the time had been advising the lady to seek matrimony with an imaginary party, described to him by this method ; and hence the title Caught in his own Trap. The usual compromise ensues at the denouement, and both uncle and nephew marry. The trifle is busy and pleasant enough, and gets through half an hour easily, with the busy assistance of Mr. Shalders, who acts the part of a lawyer's clerk, idiotic but cunning, with great cleverness and originality. The make-up of Mr. Farren as ,the old lawyer was perfect. After this a new burlesque, Azael the Pro digal, was produced, in which all the points of the original are very cleverly parodied, the impression able hero being converted into a Jew gipsy, who is enticed to town by a pair of strolling mountebanks. lie is introduced to Vauxhall during a masquerade, and, in the costume of a " gent" of the most alarm ing water, soon finds himself in the toils of a girl as light in her heels as in her morals; and finally, hav ing been cleared out by experiments at thimble-rig, is reduced to the low extremity of tending donkeys on Hampstead-heath. The repentant youth is refreshed with visions of the domestic comforts which he has sacrificed, and he straightway wends his path back to the paternal tent, where he is received with appro priate welcome and rejoicing. One of its best points is a burlesque version of the "Pas de Poignards," now executed with knives and forks, and the offer ings tributary to the Crystal Palace afford good op portunity for some national satire, though the repre sentative of Mr. Paxton last night was not clever enough to escape hissing. The doggrel dialogue is smartly written, and some of the puns are whimsical. Mr. Compton clothed the part of Azael with as much broad absurdity as he could, and he provoked fre quent peals of laughter. His coadjutors were Mr. halders, Mr. Nonni), Mrs. Phillips, and Miss Field ing. The songs, which are thickly strewed over the text, are gathered from various sources, and the words to which they are united are by no means wanting in comicality. ACTRESSES RAISED BY MARRIAGE. The first person among " the gentry" who chose a wife from the stage was Martin Folkes, the antiquary, a man of fortune, who, about the year 1718, married Lucretia Bradshaw, the representative of Farquhar's heroines. A contemporary writer styles her "ono of the greatest and most promising genii of her time," and assigns her " prudent and exemplary conduct" as the attraction that won the learned antiquary. The next actress whose husband moved in an elevated rank, was Anastasia Robinson, the singer. The great Lord Pe terborough, the hero of the Spanish war, the friend of Pope and Swift, publicly honoured Anastasia as his Countess in 1735. In four years after the Lady Hen rietta Herbert, daughter of James, first Earl of Waldo grave, and widow of Lord Edward Herbert, bestowed her hand on James Beard, the performer. Subsequently, about the middle of the 18th century, Lavinia Beswick, he original Polly Peachum, became Duchess of Bol ton. The next on record was Miss Linley's mar riage with Sheridan, one of th e most romant i c episodes in theatrical unions; and before the eighteenth century closed, Elizabeth Farren, a perfect gentlewoman, became Countess of the proudest Earl in England, the re presentative of the illustrious Stanleys. She was Lord Derby's second consort, and mother of the present Countess of Wilton. In 1807 the beautiful Miss Searle became the wife of R. Heathcote, Esq., brother of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Bart.; and in the same year Louisa Brunton was married to the late Earl of Craven. Her ion is now Earl Craven, and her niece, M rs . Y ates, the actress, still exhibits the dramatic genius of th e Brun ton family. The Beggars Opera , again conferred a co ronet; Mary Catherine Bolton s impersonation of Polly Peachum captivated Lord Thurlow. She was married to his Lordship in 1813. In more recent, times the m os t fascinating of our actresses, Miss O . wedded Si r William Wrixon Beecher, Bart.; Miss Foote, the Earl of Harrington; Miss Stephens, the Earl of Essex; and .firs. Nisbet, Sir William Boothby, Bart. It has been remarked, that the conduct of each of thes e ladies in her wedded life has been unexceptionable.—Burkes .Anec.. dotes of the Aristocracy.

DEATH OF AN OLD OFFICER.-013 Thursday even ing, about nine o'clock, Philip Web s t er , w h o h a d b een a bout eleven years under ush er at Westminster and Queen-square Police-court, died suddenly at his residence, No. 19, Pul ford-street. He was at the court on Saturday last, but on the following Monday was unable to attend. He was pre viously, for nearly seventeen years, attached to the Maryle bone Police -court, and before that appointment was a Bow street officer. lie was about 70 years of age.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CXLII. YESTERDAY'S SPORT AT NEWMARKET, &c TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Mr. Gratwicke, with his black gelding. Land grave, N at up, commenced the game yesterday in the 501. Plate across the flat, by beating Vatican, now the property of Mr. Morris, by half a length cleverly; the other couple of starters, Trinket and Gloom, being stalled off very early. The 200 sovs. Sweepstakes, over the T.Y.C., was a capitol race between the first two, Scarecrow and Father Thames, the former waiting upon the Father_ to within the distance, and finally winning cleverly' by, a short half length; the Physalis filly beaten off. This said Scarecrow of Mr. Greville's must be looked after; for not being in the very best of condition yesterday, while Father Thames in that respect was tolerably well off, it as a matter of course follows that Scarecrow is capable of considerable improvement. Mr. Hughes won his Match with Sophistry against Turtle by two or three lengths. This Sophistry in the long run will be an out-and-out speculation for her lucky owner. A batch of ten two years old figured on the T.Y.C. Course for a 50/. Plate. This race was the best of the day; all got off in a line and ran, without seemingly any one having an advantage, almost to tee cords, where Little Harry and Revenswing bolted to the front; the race home was between this pair, Ravenswing, alter a desperate struggle winning by a short neck, Sister to Trinket third. Among the wretches who were beaten in the field were to be discovered, the Toga filly, Delia colt, and one or two also who have shown moderate miming in Urbanity, Herschel, and Fidgetty Girl. In the match for 200, between Bordeaux and Gartorth, contrary to my opinion the race was never in doubt; the first-named not only gave his opponent 01bs, but a 51bs beating like wise, Lord Derby's Iris, after waiting upon Hesse Homburg to half way up the cords, challenged, and won the 50 sovs. Stakes very cleverly by half a length. The betting throughout the day shifted consi derably with the outsiders for the Cesarewitch, but with the favourites remained tolerably steady, most of them being on the rise. Hippolytus advanced to sto 1, and afterwards 9 to 2, taken freely. Darkie stood at ono time at 8, or even under, but eventually closed at 9to 1. Goldfinder rose from 10 to 8. Three or four figured at about 20 to 1, namely, Sauter-la-Coupe, Candlewick, The Italian, &c. The outsiders at fifties, forties, and so on, were as a rule completely shunned, the public evidently imagining this race to have assumed anything but an open aspect, and, in a word, to lie amongst those quoted in the odds. Ere this appears in print, or about the same time, the result of the Cesarewitch will be known; therefore it will be perfectly superfluous to drop any remarks upon this event, especially as I am of the same opinion still. I shall follow what I understand to be the intention of my clever contemporary of the MorninqAdvertiser, and stick to my colours, with " OFFICIOUS, GOLDFINDER, and HIPPOLYTUS, as the trio from which I fancy the winner will spring—the first and last of these for choice, The Italian. and Sauter la Coupe next well up."

Yesterday this match carne off betvrecn the above two competitors for aquatic fame; the distance being from Putney to Mortlake, for 201. aside. Hubert having won the toss for choice of station went to the Middlesex side of the centre arch of the antiquated wooden bridge, and Campbell took ae Surrey side. An even start was effected, and shortly atter Campbell drew slightly in ad vance. He gradually drew ahead, and opposite the Star and Garter was half a length in advance, in spite of the strenuous exertions of his opponent. An excellent race ensued to the Crab-tree, where Campbell was a boat's length distant from that of Hubert, and on going through Hammersmith-bridge he was still gaining. At this point, when just above the bridge, Campbell's cutter pressing Hubert's boat he accidentally fouled his scull against the stern of the cutter. Hubert on this occur rence was called upon to desist from rowing, and he complied, when he continued the distance to Mortlake, following Campbell. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER. Manchester has scarcely resumed its wonted ap pearance. and seems loth to cast off its gay holiday attire. Yesterday when our correspondent wrote nu merous flags were still flaunting in the streets, and there were numerous other remains of the file of Friday. Last night a grand ball was to be given in the Exchange, under the auspices of Sir John Potter, the Mayor, and with that event the proceedings con sequent upon the visit of Royalty would close. Her Majesty has not left the people of Manchester and Salford without an expression of the satisfaction all the arrangements have given her, and of her sense of the loyal reception she met with. On Saturday morning the Mayor of Manchester received the fol lowing official note : . _ Worsley, Oct. 10, 1851. " Sir,—l have much pleasure in acquainting you that I have received the Queen's commands to express to you her Majesty's entire satisfaction with the arrangements made on the occasion of her visit this day to Man chester. Her Majesty was highly gratified by the pro ceedings of the day, and by the manner in which she was received. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant, " GREY. " Sir John Potter, Knight, Mayor of Manchester." A note, in precisely the same terms, was forwarded ,o the Mayor of Salford. The Recorder of Manchester, in his speech to the grand jury, in opening the borough sessions yester day morning, referred to the event. He remarked that the inhabitants of Manchester had scarcely re covered from the excitement brought about by the stirring and gratifying events of the previous week. It was matter for thankfulness that, in the large preparations made to give a fitting reception to our Gracious Sovereign, the fears of the timid, that there would kbe some great mischance, had not been realized, but that the expectations of those who an ticipated that everything would go off well had been fully borne out. That our Gracious Sovereign was well pleased with the reception given to her on the Exchange was apparent to all who had the happiness there to see her. The honour which her Majesty was pleased to confer on the chief magistrate of the bo rough, in the presence of so many of his assembled fellow-townsmen, was felt by most to be a compliment to the borough at large, as well as an evidence of her Majesty's gracious approval of the Mayor's conduct. He conceived that the most imposing sight that her Ma j esty witnessed was the peaceful and orderly conduct, and exemplary demeanour of the countless thousands, who pouring out of their hives of industry, and ceasing from their various occupations, lined the road on each side of the royal route for miles. Such a fact made apparent to her Majesty, would be attended with good results to the community. They who lived amongst the population at Manchester knew that peaceful orderly conduct in general, and the power of controlling themselves on any occasion when they felt it to be seemly and right to do so, were distin guishing characteristics of the working people. He was quite certain that the men of Lancashire, and of the neighbourhood of Manchester especially, now that they had by such conduct gained the notice and admiration of their gracious Queen, would feel them selves bound, by a zealous adherence to the like good conduct, still to deserve that meed of approba tion. He felt most confident, as all reflecting men would, that the qualities which had been exhibited by the working people of this town, and the estimation in which they were held, would greatly increase the true importance of this great community. He had thought it right, and not unfitting the occasion of their meeting, to take a; brief notice of the events which had occurred so recently. The casualties consequent . upo n th e d emo nstration have fortunately been exceedingly f ew . A girl was shot dead on Friday by a piece of wadding entering her eyes from a gun which was fired during the Royal progress. A man was crushed, and a boy se verely hurt.—Chronicle. COURT CIRCULAR.

For the proper appreciation of the beauties scat tered in profusion over the poetic literature of Eng land the most eclectic tastes are requisite. Without the aid of this plastic and all-embracing capacity the predilections of the student in this department of letters must necessarily and rapidly become restricted within very narrow limits, to the exclusion of the majority of those great writers who in different moods have struck the lyre of verse to the music of our mother tongue. In this manner it is that now a-days we observe the reading community divided into so many exclusive sections, each with some school of poesy cherished as the solitary object of its infatuation. Here we listen only to the praises of the mystic school, of which Browning, and Bailey, and Tennyson are the recognised leaders. Here again are audible eulogiums solely directed to the glorification of the school of which Leigh Hunt was the founder, and of which John Keats has ultimately , become the recognised chieftain. Some can con scientiously yield applause solely to the austere and learned muse invoked by Bowles and Savage Lan dor : some, on the contrary, confining their enthu siasm to the panegyrizing of such oriental effusions as the metrical writings of Milman and Wilson. When the dictates of a sounder judgment would, one might imagine, have assured all -these encomiasts alike, that in each school there are merits very readily discoverable —merits entitled to the very warmest ad miration—but merits also the recognition of which by no means necessitates the ignoring of every other excellence elsewhere. For ourselves, we entertain an affection for the simplicity of Crabbe, for the quaint ness of Herrick, for the vigour of Dryden, for the delicacy of Waller, and for the sweetness of Gold smith ; we have an earnest sense of liking for the rugged force of Somerville, for the brilliant conceits of Suckling, and for the ingenious melody of Prior; we love with a sort of passion the " stretched metro of an antique song" in which Dan Chaucer has told the incidents occurring on the famous pilgrimage to Canterbury, and at the same ime feel our heart yearning to a very different bard, to a bard of a less elevated though still admirable capacity, in the per son of that old puritanical cobbler who gave to the world in a prose poem the noblest allegory in the language. Without this eclectic power of apprecia tion it is utterly impossible, we maintain, for any one judiciously to adventure upon the discharge of the responsible duties of criticism. Neither is it possible we maintain, to perceive anywhere the reasonableness of those arguments which are advanced to the con trary by the fanatical sticklers for the superiority of some cherished section of the literary world of Eng land. Because Shakspere is acknowledged by every one indiscriminately to be altogether without any competitor in fame, surely that cannot be held as a sufficient reason for holding in contempt poor Drum mond of Hawthornden. We may look back ad miringly towards Taylor, the water poet, singing his fantastic ditties on the " silent highway," without holding in contempt the mimic antiquities of Rowley, that noblest of all the strange creations of the genius of Chattertori. Upon the same principle we are pre pared to acknowledge an enthusiasm at once for the exquisite precision of Pope, and for that wild and in- coherent style in which Byron wrote his " Giaour," very shortly after the publication of the " Christabel" of Coleridge. The author of the present volume has adopted this last-mentioned style, as, if he so pleased, he was, of course, quite justified in doing: and as a specimen of changing metre we accept the work most willingly, however much we may love the regularly modulated and equably throbbing versifica tion peculiar to the wasp of Twickenham. Mr. Inglis has in "Marican" selected a theme somewhat similar to the " Frontinac" of Mr. Street—a wild transatlantic story of love and bloodshed, on the wave and in the woodlands. Changing at pleasure from the quatrain to the terza rinia, indulging his voice now in couplets and now in alternating rhymes, with a corresponding series of fluctuations in the rhythm, the writer has contrived to throw over his composition that charm of variety which under most circumstances is found by the majority to be irresist ible. In " Marican" he disdains not to repeat such old tales as that of an ocean burial, where he says— " The boatswain and his mates the hatchway round, The whistle's shrill admonitory sound; ' Bury the dead, ahoy:' Captain and crew, uncovered in the waist, The hammock of the dead on gangway placed, The priest's farewell convoy;— The tilted planking, and the plunge below Of the tar's shotted shroud, The bird that cometh—whence they do not know— White as a sunlit cloud, Bearing the seaman's spirit far away To haven undisturbed, in calm unruffled bay." Such passages Mr. Inglis shrinks not from intro ducing, however incongruous may be its character. Stranger still to observe, is the interpolation of such allusions as the following, in which the author evi dently had Mrs. Manning, the murderess, in his re collection : " What of the human tigress shall we say, Who lures her drunken idiotic prey With hellish leer? Entwines the dagger in a wreath of smiles, And drugs the wine-cup with her wanton wiles? While angels hear The stealthy foot-fall of the assassin's tread; And angels see The crimson current dye the guilty bed, — The damned three Drenched in an overwhelming midnight flood Of lust and murder, treachery and blood." Having apostrophised a little further on— " Woman! thro' every age and every clime Glorious in virtue, terrible in crime," our author proceeds in the development of his narra tive by recounting the heroism displayed by the bride of Marican. The nature of the incidents described in the story may be best conjectured by the beading of the several portions of the poem :—The Escape— The Swim by Night—The Encampment—The Conference—The March—The Battle— The Execu tion—and The Burial. In the unfolding of the plot Mr. Inglis displays no little ingenuity, but the prin cipal merit for which his pages appear to us remark able is that of the casual delineations of nature scat tered through the throng of the various occurrences. What, for example, can be finer in it s way th an th i s majestic mention of midday on the mountain top?— " The sun o'crtops the Andes, and his glance Lightens the inconceivable expanse With dazzling fire. And hark! the frozen wilderness on high Acknowledgeth the monarch of the sky As kings desire t Iceberg and avalanche , asunder riven, Salute the sun In thunder which reverberates to heaven; While clouds of dun And seething mist upon the valleys lie— The fitting smoke of such artillery!" Here is a more tranquil spectacle, a perfect little vig nette of American scenery : " Down where the river steals beneath the trees, Where massive foliage bars the faintest breeze—. Where boughs entwine, And with their lofty arches bridge the wave— Where nimble monkeys swing, and parrots rave— Where the wild vino Clings with its clusters of deep purple hue, And silver sheen Of glancing fish is in the waters blue— Where gamalot‘ green Leans over with its long luriant leaves, And for the glassy floor a floating carpet weaves." Having enumerated these charming features of the landscape, Mr. Inglis, with a minuteness kindred to that displayed by Captain Mayne Reid in a similar description, depicts the locality as a spot— " Where white bells of the Floripondio bloom, Bathing all nature round them in perfume, Like lily-laden shore; — Where pink flamingos in the shallows dream, And piebald swans, majestic in the stream, Are poised on feathered oar;— Where tufted herons soar on snowy wing, With plaintive cry— Where brilliant is beyond imagining The painted fly— Where the bright humming bird, like feathered bee, Sips honey from the flower of plant and tree." With equal vividness the words fall from his lips when he is describing—a very different scene in deed—the broiling heat of the tropics on a dusty highway, saying— " Of all the company of clouds, not one Was there to veil the fury of the sun, Which, like a mighty lens, Seizes with fierce intolerable grasp Buckles and belts of brass, Kindles the sword-hilt in its fiery clasp, And scorches the cuirass; While on the burning horseman's armed heel, The rowels are of flame, and not of steel." As a very pleasing testimony of the melodies floating here and there through the poem, we may transcribe the subjoined stanzas The lofty sky weeps in cloud, Tho earth weeps in dews From its core; The diamond-brooks weep aloud, Tho fiow'rs change the hues Which they wore. " The grass mourns in the sunbeam, In gums weep the trees, And in dye; And if mourn meadow and stream— Inanimate these— May not I? " The wood-pigeon mourns his mato, The caged birds bewail Freedom gone; Shall not man mourn over fate? Dumb sorrow assail Him alone? " The bulls of the forest grieve When the lassoes wind Round the horn; And man shall we silent leave, With his master-mind, WQ WW1?" OCTOBER 14 5 bb The se verses being, strangely enough, marred by suol i an opening phrase as this— " Weep away! heart, weep away!" a tr ode of expression decidedly anything but pathetic. As our final quotation from the volume, we give one wh! ch appears to us to be in some measure charac teri sed by a tone of sublimity "1 'he Organ Mountains!—As the days decline, By frozen cataract and cleft ravine The rapid thunder sweeps; And the chords answer to the mighty hand T 1 'at atirreth them, in diapason grand— The music of the steeps!- 1 verberating like the roar of war O'er continent and sea, Until the weary mariner afar With hope and helm a-lee, )ca',h in his path, his cup of faith outpoured, I temembers Him who still can help afford, fed kneels to hear the anthem of the Lord." Wi tb this noble passage we close cur notice of " Ma nic In," satisfied that more than any words of a rev is wer, an extract cf equal excellence is a book's wont hiest commendation. W MUSIC. E WORLD N lESA FAIRY RING. Ballad. HT'ritt P en rd by Eliza C oo k. C omposed by J. P. Knight. . . uay. 111,ve are always grateful for a good ballad—and hes e is one of incontestable'excellen ce . To the corn pix pl. we have often been under obligations in this way, obligations we cannot very speedily forget with melodies of his beautiful songs so often haunting ou r recollections. Whoever has watched the progress of our popular literature during the last fifteen years nee Is no reminder whatever of the merit of those lyri cal treasures which have been squandered forth b yEl is sa in such exhaustless profusion. she ß d e b i 7t al he be ring what has already been pc,etess and the musician, we welcome the ballad be fo re us with all eagerness. It is unworthy of neither. On the contrary, we find in it charms that evidence a aythifig but decadence in those who have respec ti.vely given us already the words of "Old King Time" am 1 the music of the ".Grecian Daughter." Th e me l ody of his pres en t effusion, while altogether different from th , 3se melodies which have long since rendered Mr. Knight so very general a favourite, has the same haunting .sweetness for which most of his previous cot npositions are remarkable. It will cling to the re- ME mbrance, and in so doing will testify to the love liness of the inspiration. Doubtless with the majority the! verses are already " household worlds," like so many others from the hand of our popular authoress. By reason of this simplicity and elegance, we think Mr. Knight evinced taste in this selection. Better is it, surely infinitely better, than listening to the rattudlin songs recently in vogue, songs distinguished only by their exaggerated affectation of sentiment, to hear maiden voices of England breathing thoughts like those contained in the present ballad—thoughts inculcative of a gentle and consolatory philosophy. THE REGRET. Song : Written by Eliza Cook, Z T. Purday. Without the name of any composer on the title page, the song here issued from the establishment of Mr. Purday bears upon it the name of Eliza Cook as a talisman of attraction. It will prove on examina tion worthy in every way of the popularity of the authoress. The air is plaintive and flowing, and from its simplicity will be found generally most ac ceptable. THE BANK STOPPAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sflt,—lt is meet to have a giant's strength, but it is cruel to use it as a giant—an aphorism assuredly applicable to the heads of the newspaper press. In your Sun of last night is a communication from this town, headed " The Bank Failures," which is calculated to increase the panic, to spread ruin, and, indeed, to cause a panic throughout the country. Your reckless correspondent states that the liabilities of the Monmouth and Glamor gan Bank arc said to be somewhere about three quarters of a million ; the cash in hand not two thousands, and the other property of the bank trifling. The truth of this cruel and ridiculous assertion may be tested by the following statement : Crs. By Cash in hand ... Securities, &c. Property in houses, &c. £15,578 19 2 ... 762,939 14 11 ... 31,851 9 5 X 810,370 3 6 Dra. Capital paid up Due by the bank Reserve fund Bad debts ... Balance ...

Is it not most shameful that your correspondent, in the plenitude .of his ignorance or wickedness, should fan the flame of alarm by such sentences as these :—" Many of the smaller shareholders will be ruined "—the town will suffer a fearful convul sion this winter. The notes of other country banks are now regarded with apprehension—only gold is current; this is a monetary crisis that will shake the credit and the stability of trade to an alarming extent." I will not trust myself to comment on this string of falsehoods. The man who wrote them cannot be aware of the awful responsibility which attaches to the paper that publishes them—certainly anything more calcu lated to ruin the trade of Newport and the surround ing country, it is difficult to conceive. In the name, therefore, of the common weal, I trust to your inser tion of this letter. FIAT JUSTITIA. Newport, Oct. 11. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, OCT. 13. A numerous and respectable meeting of the credi tors of the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire Banking Company was held at the Town-hall, this day, for the purpose of considering what " steps were most expedient to be taken for their security in the present position of the bank." Sir Thomas Phillips, Knt., was unanimously voted to the chair. A reso lution was proposed by W. S. Cartwright, Et. - q., a large coal proprietor in this district, and seconded by E. H. Phillips, Esq., "That a committee be appointed to meet the shareholders, and that they be requested to report to the creditors, as early as possible, the re sult of such meeting." The following gentlemen were selected as the com mittee, on behalf of the creditors, for that purpose, in order to ascertain the precise position of the bank, with reference to its assets and liabilities, and to avoid the necessity, if possible, of compelling the share holders to resort to a court of bankruptcy, viz. : Sir Thos. Phillips, lint. ; Messrs. S. Homfray, Thomas Brown, Vere Smith, W. S. Cartwright, W. A. Williams, P. Woodruff, Charles Conway, E. H. Phillips, James Rennie, James Evans, and Roger Keene. Monday next, the 20th inst., was appointed as the day on which the creditors are to receive the report of the Investigation Committee. The greatest anxiety appeared to prevail amongst the creditors, as to the assets of the bank, but nothing transpired during the meeting calculated to remove their doubts in this respect. The only financial statement upon which at pre sent calculations are based is as follows : To capital paid up ... ... £220,294 0 0 Due by the Bank ... 555,748 1 7 Reserve fund... ... 11,604 18 6 Bad debts account ... 13,411 8 6 Debts carried to profit and loss account 9,311 14 11 Total Drs.

Pullen, of Youngs Bury, is a candidate for the represen tation of this county , in opposition to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. In his address to the electors, the new candidate attributes the social order which has been maintained in England, in the presence of anarchy abroad, to the timely concession of Parliamentary Reform, and to the alteration in the corn-laws ; and we learn also that, although opposed to extreme or violent changes, he is prepared to support a well-judged measure for extending the constituency within such limits as experience may have shown to be necessary. Mr. Pullen avows that his faith in free trade is undiminished, and he shows that it has conferred great benefits upon the people at large by increasing the foreign trade of the country. He refuses to delude the farmer by inciting him to hope for the restoration of protective laws, but invites him to con fide in something better—in his own energy, and in the justice and generosity of the great class of landowners, of whom he is one. THE PROPOSED FINSBURY PARK.—Considerable progress has been made within the past fortnight by the authorities of the Woods and Forests, in surveying the site of the new park, and also in collecting information requ ired to be obtained previous to an estimate being made of the necessary outlay for compensation, &c. , and for t akin g the preliminary steps to bringing in a Bill for making the park next session. It may be mentioned, as showing the neces sity of a park for the inhabitants o f the northerndistrict of the metropolis, that in Islington a lone the population, which in 1801 was 10,000, has now risen to 95,000, and . some other parts within the boro u g h of Finsbury the increase is hardly less remarkable; so th a t though the newpark is being marked out on the margin of the suburbs, i o t f m t a h y e few years be expected to be in their c!ntre. We may state further, that the Docks Junction Railway, which was at first intended for goods only, now brings 130,000 passengers p w o e s e e k d l weekly park the near s t i i g o station b n u e r a y r the southern this number, b boundary a l r a y r - ge as i pro posed may be expected to be greatly increased when attracttiyise: wc)iindisposed that place of resort is provided for the toil search of healthful recreation and pure air. sands The King of Hanover remains so he cannot receive his ALl:listen en any bu4ijaetic KOSSUTH. The preparations for the re ce pti on o f th e Hunga rian patriot in London are going on as favourably as could be desired, an d, j udging from the amount of subscriptions received, and the degree of enthusiasm displayed, there is every probability of the demonstra tion being of a most effective character. At a meeting of gentlemen interested in the object last evening, Mr. Thornton Hunt in the chair, the committee of arrangement presented a report embody ing the following recommendations : —" That the order of proceedings in marking the arrival of Kossuth be as follows :—That an address be presented to Louis Kossuth ; that a procession be formed to welcome him on his arrival in London ! that Kossuth be invited to a banquet, to 1)2 given to him in the most spacious place obtainable ; that a permanent committee be f„rnaed to collect a public contribution of f un d s f or the cause of H ungary , t o b e pl a c e d in the hands of Louis Kossuth on his return from America to Eng.. land." These recommendations were unanimously adopted._ Mr. FETTLE (the secretary) reported that he bad, by the instruction of the committee, attended a meet ing of the German Agitation Committee the preceding evening, one of their members (Dr. Strauss) having on their part expressed a wish to be informed of the nature of the intended Kossuth demonstration. The address which it was intended to present to Kossuth had been laid before them end approved of ; and Dr. Tausenau, one of their members, a friend of Kossuth, promised to give the deputation every facility in his power fur obtaining an introduction to Kossuth. They were further informed that the object was to get up an English demonstration ; but if foreigners chose to join ;in the precession, they would not be prevented doing so. At the same time, no delegates from any foreign body would be recognised, as much for their own sakes as to give the demonstration due effect on the Continent. Were foreigners admitted to the committee it would only give an excuse for foreign powers to say that it was merely a plot got up by foreign refugees. Mr. T. H UNT , th e c h a i rman, stated that the corn. mittee appointed to obtain the use of a suitable building for the banquet were not yet prepared to report. They had some idea of obtaining Drury-lane Theatre.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN read an extract from the Progresso of Turin, a letter from a gentleman who had met Kossuth after his liberation at Genoa, and to whom the Hungarian hero had expresse d hi mse lf as fo l lows: Whether I go, in the next week, to America, to France, or to E ng l an d, or to whatever other region, my friends may be certain that I shall be guided in my selection by a li ve l y sense o f those duties to which my life and energies are consecrated." Mr. LESLIE announced that the West•end Shoe makers' Society had come to a vote placing at the disposal of their committee whatever funds they might deem it necessary to contribute to this demon stration.—(Hear, hear.) Some routine business was transacted, and the meeting adjourned. The following address to Kossuth from the Port reeve of St. Clear has been sent t o the Mayor of Southampton for presentation : " To Louis Kossuth, late Governor of Hun gar y. " Sir,—lt is with feelings of cordial gratification that I greet your approach to the shores of En g l an d, after the sad vicissitudes that have hitherto marked your noble career in the cause of liberty, and the in- Irancour o f d es p o tism, its satellites and , ad. * hulas (includi ng th a t o f th e present rabid I rench President and his minions in power), that has added to the littleness of your fall. To express to you here the meed of admiration due to you were super fluous in both hemispheres, the public voice of fame attests it, that of posterity will confirm it, and hail your name as a guiding star of the world's destiny. Suffice it, therefore, that one of the number who had the honour to solicit the interference of the English Government for your liberation, now seeks permis sion to felicitate you on your arrival in this country, and to express his earnest prayer that the time is not far distant when you may be restored—notwithstand ing the malignity of banded despots that still pollute continental Europe—in triumph to bless your native land. In any case you will not have lived in vain; your glorious example will have its due effect.—Be lieve me to remain, your most faithful and devoted servant, "Ikon WILLIAMS, Portreeve of St. Clear, Carmarthen, South Wales. " Oct. 4, 1851." A number of ladies and gentlemen have been seen about the streets of Southampton with rosettes in their bosoms and coats, formed of the Hungarian pa triotic coloured ribbons, scarlet, v. bite, and green. The Countess Pulski, the celebrated Hungarian authoress, has arrived at Southampton. The Southampton corporation committee appointed to conduct the management of the banquet to Kos suth, met yesterday, and settled the programme of the toasts to be given at the banquet. The usual loyal toasts will be given, due homage will be paid to the virtues and genius of the most distinguished guest at the banquet, the illustrious Magyar, Kossuth ; the duties of national hospitality to the politically op pressed of all nations will be enunciated ; and the constitutional Governments of Great Britain and of the United States will be recognised as alike opposed and inimical to republican tyranny and imperial despotism. THE MESSAGE BALLOON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—.lt would appear by the information obtained respecting the descent of a message balloon in Glou cestershire, that some thoughtless person has played off a hoax upon much too grave a subject to be so treated—the fate of Sir John Franklin and his com panions. - That Sir J. Franklin was not supplied with bal loons is, however, very much regretted by those who have some knowledge of wrestation. Had he been provided with, and thorougly instructed in the mode of inflation of substantial balloons, suited to the pur pose of conveying a message some six or seven hun dred miles, under a condition of a strong gale blowing from northwards, it is quite likely that, out of a number set free, one would, with a message attached, have been picked up on the continent of America by somebody engaged in the fur trade. Message bal loons of sufficiently substantial material, properly varnished, might have been made in large numbers, at a cost not exceeding 25. 6d. per balloon. The inflation might have been accomplished by hydrogen gas in a ❑early pure state, obtained by the decomposition of water, as practised by Mr. Stephen White ; the fuel necessary for the purpose could at the same time have afforded warmth for the crew between decks. Should another searching expedition be sent to the north, it is hoped it will be supplied plentifully with the necessary aerostatic means of dispatching south ward a message when it may be deemed advisable to send off information for the chance of its being found and reaching England.—l remain, Sir, yours, &c., October 13, 1851.

T E ~EARCII FOR SIR JOIIII FRANKLIN.—At the meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council on Tuesday, Bailie Dick pressed the Lord Provost to send a memorial to the Lords of the Admiralty as to the propriety of sending another vessel in search of the missing vessels of discovery in tho Arctic regions. The Lord Provost had been assured it would be too late to send any vessel in the present season. In the view, however, of reminding the Admiralty as to the pro priety of sending out a vessel early in the spring, he.had Jr objection that the matter be remitted to his committee. He _ should put himself in communication with the relatives o f the officers in London and elsewhere, and would prepare such a memorial as would have the desired effect. ait • BLACKIVOOD HOUSE.—NAREOW ElICAri FROM FlRE.—Blackwood House, Lanarkshire , the seat of Willia m Elizabeth usual. E. Hope Vere, Esq., has had a narrow esca p e from fire. O n the evening of the 6th, the fami l y had ,retired to rest as Ab u ou op t e th v re e e re o'clock aw k theockoe by a following morning Ladyghe strong smell of burn ing, which seemed to proc eed from the lar g e drag-room •win immediately below her ladyship 'a room. On armid household, and mking an inspection, it was discovered that the main beam of the floor of the drawing-room was nearly burnt through, having caught lire below the grate, and been ignited from another smaller piece of wood. the fire was happily extinguished, ln a short time orderly a manner that, although and in so prompt and as sembled in the house, many of a large party were danger they had escapedthem were unaware of the until fast table. From. the 't • informed of it at the break si nation of the room where the fire originated, nothing could have saved the house from total destruction had it not heeu arrested in the first stage.— ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, be tween eleven and twelve, a young man of respectable ap pearance attempted suicide by throwing himself from the tunnel bridge into the Regent's Canal. It appeared that he was in company with two other men, and before they could stop him he jumped on to the bridge and threw himself into the water, at the same time wishing them good bye. At• sistance was at once at hand, and he was conveyed on shore and restoratives applied, happily with succbss. We understand that Mr. N. T. Hicks, whose per formance of Mazeppa has attracted such crowded audiences at Astley's Amphitheatre for about 300 nights during the past and present year, concludes his engagement at that house this evening, when he will join the highly -talented corps dramatique at the Marylebone Theatre, at which house his first appearance is fixed for Alonday nett•
