The girl couldi not be considered as a child of tender years. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL took the same view of the matter, If it had been shown that the girl was under actual duress, and prevented from obtaining proper food, the imflictment could have been sustained, notwithstanding that ah a was not an infant of tender yearn, but the facts which he believed had neither been exaggerated nor understated by the Learned Counsel who .opened the case, failed to establish anything of the sort. Mr. CHAMBERS must bow to the decision of the Court, and decline to go on with the case. The jury, therefore, under the direction of the Court, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty on the two first counts. Mr. CLARKSON, before the Court passed sentence, applied on behalf of the prisoners for leave to file affidavits of poverty in mitigation of punishment. _ 22 0 205 N°. 18,212.] LONDON ) lITEDNI4 I ,SDAY S 7 FEBRUARY 5 ) 1851.

We did not blush or feel any degree of false 'sham at being designated as " a nation of shopkeepers." It was the wealth and resources acquired by our trao and commerce that enabled us to brave the anger al ultimately to over turn the power of the greatest eneral and monarch of modern times. We accepte as an honour what was intended as a reproach. It is not the immense wealth of which Mr. Prro is the fortunate possessor that gave weight to his words, but it was because that welth was acquired by a long course of prosperos industry and un blemished integrity, until the rm of which he is a member attlined a position equlled by few, sur passed by none in the British dominions. But it was not merely as the representative of British industry that Mr. PETO possessed ttnivesal claims upon the attention of the House. He mitiht also be regarded as the representative, of a siut*rous and influential body of men of moral and relillous character, and great weight in the .social seals SAMUEL MORTON PETO, the senior partner of the great firm of PETO and BETTS, could speak of the position of trade, of the erOloyment of the working population of the conntr at fair and remu nerative wages, and the ""ea - welfare Of. - the operatives, w4_,.thareatest THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. TRIAL OF THE SLOANES. We have recived the Paris Jour;als of yesterday. On Monday the Minister of Finance, M. GERMINY, presented the Dotation Bill for the PRESIDENT of the Republic to the Assembly. In presenting it M. GER MINT said, I have the honour of presenting to the As sembly a Bill skins for an augmentation of the credit granted to the PRSIDENT for frais de representation. —(Agit,tion on the Lett.) Last year, the law of June 24 alio% ed for that purpose the sum of 2,160,000 f. The pressing and numerous obligations imposed on the Chief of the State by the position which he occupies, render the augmentation in question a matter of neces sity, and we accordingly propose to you to open an ad ditional credit of 1,800,000 F. for the year 1851. ' A voice on the Left—Oh, it is nothing; exceedingly cheap ! The MINISTER of FINANCE—The reasons assigned last year in favour of the additional sum still subsist, and dispense us from entering into any further explanations. We accordingly leave the question of haute convenance to the appreciation of the Assembly.—(Slight agitation on the Left,) The PRESIDENT—The Bill shall be referred to the bureaux, where a Committee shall be nominated to ex amine it in the usual course.

This action was brought to recover the sum of 61. 10s., being the value of two watches alleged to have been en trusted to the company to be conveyed to Southampton, but which never arrived at their destination. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Lush were counsel for the plaintiff, and the defendants were represented by Mr. Bovill. The plaintiff, it appeared, had established several receir ing houses in different parts of London, and was in the habit of receiving small parcels to be conveyed by the railways. When he obtained a number of these parcels whose destina tion was in the same direction he, with a view to economy and cheapness, had them put up into a single package which was afterwards opened by his agents in the country, and each parcel delivered to its owner. By these means Mr.. Crouch was enabled to charge much less for carriage than the railwaycompanies. On the 26th of July, 18.50 ) .0ne of these large pacluigee was sent to the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway, directed to the care of Messrs. Smith and Dawes, of Southampton, for a Mr. Holloway. On the package reaching Southampton, it was found that the parcel containing the watches, which was separately directed to a Mr. Beardmore, had been opened, and the watches taken out.

Some agitation was perceptible after this incident, but not to any extent worth speaking of. The presentation of the Dotation Bill was followed by an incident that produced almost as great a sensation as the presentation of the Bill itself. The monthly Bureaux of the Assembly were renewed on Monday. The majority of the presidents and secre taries belong to the faction of the Burgraves. The constitution of the Bureaux is by no means fa vourable to th.- success of the Dotation Bill. The Re publican and:Legitamstist journals all impress upon the Assembly the necessity of at once rejecting it. - On the demand of the French Government, M.

A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, Hanover-square; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemb,e natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth or Roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. THE GENERAL REPORT of the BRITISH COLLE(4E of HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1851, is now ready, and may be had (gratis) on application of the A gents for the sale of Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine.

Most persons delight in a mark of respect, Nor are we surprised, when we come to reflect; 'Tis pleasing wiien all individuals seem To think us deserving of marks of esteem, And 'tis but a natural wish, after all, To desire respect from the great and the small. Now. the way to obtain this respect, more or less, Is centred in one little syllable, "Dress ;" Only think what respectable clothing has done, And especially that of E. MOSES and SON. Respectful attention is gained by a suit, And many have realised fortune to boot. The greatest advantage, the greatest success Are centred in that little syllable " Dress." Then away to the Dress-mart of MOSES and SON, Whose garments such boundless approval have won ; Such elegant dresses were never displayed, Till the Warehouse of MOSES appeared in the trade ; And as for the cloth and the putting together, The clothing will serve you in all kinds of weather ; You'll find when you see them, they've not a defect, And when you once wear them, you'll meet with respect; And many good chances in life will be won, If you take the costumes of MOSES and SON. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. _ Notice.—The Fur and Shavi Departments are now replete with every novelty of the season. Observe.—Any article purchased, either ready-made or made to measure, if not approved of, will be exchanged or the money re turned. Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public against imposition, but having heard that the untradesmanlike false hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state they have no connexion with any other house in or out of London, except their own Establishnients, as iollows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156. and 157, Minories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The session of Parliament for the year 1851, or, as we trust, that it will hereafter be termed the Year of the Great Exhibition, has commenced. The Royal Speech has been delivered —the Addresses of both Houses of Parliament duly moved and seconded—and we are happy to say, carried without a division. There was also less than the usual amount of aspe rity displayed, or than might have been expected, when the conflicting nature of the elements of which the Legislature, more especially the popular branch thereof, is composed. All passed off in an exceedingly satisfactory manner, affording the most propitious auguries for the rapid dis patch of business, and leaning to the hope that the relative proportions of " sayings and doings" that have hitherto been perceptible, may be materially altered in the second half of the 19th century. The proceedings, however, were by' no means devoid of interest. The all but unanimity exhibited, perhaps unparalleled on such en occas i on , had in it nothing of insipidity. Mr. ROEBUCK, as usual, imparted a certain degree of acidity, which might not hai:e injured the flavour of the general mixture ; while Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTEY, in a speech that rt. fleeted the highest honour on his bead and heart, proved how correct we were in supposing that a large proportion of the Roman Catholic laity viewed the late Pupal aggressions with at least as much displeasure and indignation as their Pro testant fellow-subjects. The speech of the evening, however, was that of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Norwich, who seconded the Address. There could not have been a more felicitous selection for the duty than that of Mr. PaTo. Sprung from the middle demo; state of facts , and he had gig too many practical proofs of his acuteness and ittelligence to suppose that he would not draw sourd conclusions from the authentic data within his mob. But SAMUEL MORTON PETO, a man looked tit to and respected by the Dissenters of Great Britain—a member of a body who had long suffered from the effects of religious persecution and inolerance, and one who might be regardeC as the exponent of these views and feelings—called with him even greater weight and authority. ".he compliment paid to the individual was a complinett to the Dissenters of ' all denominations throughcat the length and breadth of the land, and at tie same time afforded the strongest guarantee that then would be no retro gression in the broad path cf universal toleration, no invasion of the sacred tiers (f civil and religious liberty. If the course so long snd so consistently pursued by the Noble Frenier and his co adjutors did not afford s sufficient guaran tee that no unnecessary 'estrictions would be imposed on any class cf her .MAJESTY'S subjects, the support and approbaion of such a man as the Honourable Member hr Norwich would afford abundant confirmation, sich as might con vince even the most sceptical that nothing very formidable was contemplated, an 4 the Whig Minis ters could not properly be des!nated as " reac tionaries." We shall not follow Mr. PEn through his sin gularly able and instructive speecl in all its varied details. He touched judiciously on all the topics introduced in the Royal Spech, and, nihil tetigit quod non ornarit, he drew the true distinction when he said that "peace would be preserved at the risk of everythi g but good faith and national honour," and felicitouly alluded to the recent treaties with Brazil, whicbafforded a reason able prospect of the " utter abolitim of the accursed traffic" in human flesh and blooi. He illustrated the puzzle, that a large reduction of taxation does not lead to a corresponding dimi►ution of revenue, by showing that although duties h a large amount had been repealed or modified during the last session, the income of the country hd not fallen off, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was still in the happy position of bevilg a large sur plus at his command._; The duty on sager had been reduced is. per cw - t., which should hale, according to the calculations that had been male, supposing that there had been no increase of consumption con sequent on the change, led to a less to the Ex chequer of 311,454/., but which only lei to a decrease of 9,1801. Again, the great increase i 2 the declared value of the exports, amounting to nearly forty per cent. within the last ten years, afforded the best evidence of the accuracy of the doctrines professed by the Free-traders, and the happy results of the great experiment which the Bait:sh nation had tried. Notwithstanding the abort crop of cotton, and the consequent increase in price of the raw ma terial of the staple manufacture of tie country, there had been great activity exhibitedin the manufac turing districts, and 50,000 hands vere employed in the mills in 1850 more than in 1E47; and, as Mr. PETO happily remarked, this '• increase of the factory hands had not been obtained at the sacrifice of infantile energy. m are h a d b een a decrease since 1834 of 20 per cent. in the children employed, and an increase of 81 per cent. in the adults." The number of able-bodied pmpers, too, had largely diminished, while the staistics of crime in the manufacturing metropolis shoved even a more satisfactory result—the criminal !barges in Man chester for the year 1848 being 6,187, while in 1850 they were only 4,687. Mr. PETO also clearly and distinctly showed that the change in the navigation-laws 114 not produced the stagnation that had been anticipated by the prophets of ill omen ; on the contrary, the tonnage had in creased, and the greatest activity pervaded the ship building districts. With respect t) the agricultural districts, although there has been unquestionably some degree of success, Mr. PET) showed that there was every prospect of improvement, which he ven tured to predict, without laying claim to any extra ordinary powers of vaticination. In speaking of the position and prospects of the sister kingdom, Mr. PETO bore honourable testimony —and a more com petent and unexceptionable witness could not he procured—to the character of the Irish labourer,whom he described as, if fairly treated, the most faithful creature in existence. The greater, and perhaps, all things considered, the most important portion of the speech, related to the Papal aggression. On this paint the Honourable Gentleman showed that any measure that might be introduced could not be regardel as a restriction "on religious awna drnll warm l y that resented es opinions,etnhteedPapal,,but n t he e pear l r only siP on t mist d a y s of politic a l doctrines," would have been as the Roman Catholic religion in this country." This admirable speech, which we earnestly commend to the calm and attentive perusal of our friends and the public, no doubt greatly conduced to the subse quent unanimity. We congratulate the country on the auspicious opening of the session and on the pe culiarly favourable prospects so clearly d eveloped in the speech of the llonourable Gentleman the Mem ber for Norwich. e o e f ra a g el, ea lluainvie recently ; MORE EXPECTED SECESSIONS FROM TH E C HURCH. —We learn with much regret t h at two of the mostd s is se ti s n s: towards distin guished lady members of the aristocra tic world, and po g in iv g e t n h s e u l e i h igl u ie n s m t t is it t l a e k s eanb the Church of Rome, as to create in the mi nds of their friends very great uneasiness lest they should openl y secede from the Anglican Church, and become avowed adh erents of the Romish community. If these apprehensions s h ou ld b e i ° I e u indications l nth realised—and with regard to one of them it may be looked ter any day or hour—their "conversion" to the Popish faith will create a deep sensation iu the country.— A dvertism THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY._ We understand that the amount which the Lancashire and Yoikshire Company will have to reserve under the injunc tion with regard to the Fifths' holders to meet th e di v i dend on these shares, will be about 12,0004 This, of course, ren ders the two per cent. dividend more probable than either a 2i, desired by some porticn of the shareholders, or a 9 i per cent. dividend, which we stated might be recommended by the directors.—Morning /apex. _ _ - - Mr. Maaterman, treasurer of the Fistula Infir• mary, gratefully acknowledge; the receipt of a munificent donation of Three Thousand Pounds, pax' by an individual, confidentially, to l‘lr.

The entrances and avenues lead • ing to the court were inconveniently thronged, while in the court itself there was an extensive muster of the gentlemen of the long robe, who kept up a continual buz of conversa tion around the reporters' box, with a couple of well-known police-court solicitors, to the great annoyance of the repre sentatives of the press. The compartments in the body of the court appropriated to the public were filled almost im mediately after the doers were thrown open,, and amongst those present were several well-known literary and artistic gentlemen, and a few members of the aristocracy • but the gallery at the opening of the case was, comparative ly speak ing, empty. Shortly after ten o'clock Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Cresswell, attended by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs, entered the court and took their seats on the bench, and after one or two cases had been " mentioned " and " appointed " for a future day, the Clerk of the Arraigns directed the gaoler to call up George. Sloane. Immediately afterwards George Sloane and Theresa Sloane were put forward. Mr. Sloane, whose personal exterior has already been made familiar to the world, appeared to be suf fering from mental depression, but he was nevertheless suf ciently collected to be able to communicate freely with his legal advisers. Mrs. Sloane seemed to be in the last depth of misery and mental distress. Her head was covered with a loose black lace veil, which fell over her forehead d la Mary Queen of Scots, and partially concealed the upper part of her features, while she held a light cambric handkerchief to her mouth which rendered the concealment complete. • They were indicted for misdemeanour, the indictment con taining many counts; and upon being called upon to plead, Mr. Sloane in a loud firm voice read from a slip of paper, 4 Guilty to all Op Indietuaass*-wsecept - the- fituts'autt - iscond counts." no spolieln 41-43 leer audible solos, but his wife in delivering the same plea scarcely spoke above a whisper. Mr. Chambers, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Huddlestone, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Clarkson, with whom was Mr. Bodkin, watched the case on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE wished to know what course the prosecution intended to pursue now. Mr. CLARKSON submitted in the first instance that the two counts excepted by the prisoners, which charged them with neglecting to provide one Jane Wilbred, who was an infant of tender years, and had been under their control as a servant, with proper and necessary food and nourish ment, could not be sustained in point of law, as it could not be said that Jane Wilbred was an infant of tender years. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE thought the proper time had not arrived yet for taking such an objection as that. Mr. HUDDLESTONE said all the other counts simply charged the prisoners with a common assault. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE again observed that it was for those who had charge of the prosecution to determine now the course to be pursued with reference to the two first counts. Mr. CHAMBERS said he would go on with the whole in dictment as if the prisoners had pleaded not guilty, as it would be necessary to go into the evidence of the assault to establish the other two counts. Mr. CLARKSON asked their Lordships to order all the wit nesses out of court, which was done. The girl Jane Wilbred was in attendance, and quitted the court with the other witnesses. She looked robust and well, her cheeks wore the ruddy hue of health, her walk was firm, and her figure upright. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Very well, then swear the jury. The jury having been accordingly sworn, Mr. CHAMBERS proceeded to open the case to them. He said there were several counts in the indictment, but the first two, which the defendants had excluded from their plea, were more special than the others. No doubt it would be contended on the other side that they were bad in law, but he thought he should be able to show before the trial closed that they were sustainable both in point of law and fact. The law required masters to provide due and proper nourish ment for infant servants who might come under their con trol, and their neglecting to do so was an offence in law. Now these two counts charged the prisoners at the bar with that offence, and he apprehended there were cases in the books to support the proposition of law which he had endeavoured to explain, while he had no less doubt that the evidence would establish the offence to the fullest extent. Having thus briefly explained the law to them, he would proceed to disclose to them a short outline of the facts of the case, only premising that they ought to dismiss from their minds all prejudice that they might have engendered against the prisoners, or either of them, and try the indictment solely upon its merits. The girl who had been the victim of the prisoners'misconduct was formerly an inmate of the West London Union, and on the 9th of July in 1849 the female prisoner applied to the overseers to recommend her a servant from amongst the orphan paupers of the union. She stated thitt she was the wile of Mr. Sloane, of Pump-court, Temple, and Mr. Parker, the schoolmaster, having made inquiries about her, reported the result to tip guardians, who thought it would be an ad vantage to on& of yhe female charges if she could be got into the service. Accordingly, when Mrs. Sloane called again she was sbcyx n a number of ,girls, from whom she selected Jane W ilbred, the subject of the pre sent inquiry, and she was handed over to her custody in excellent health, and having been previously supplied with three suits of clothing Passing over the interval between that period and the time when the girl was first discovered by Mr. Phillitnore, the barrister, in a butte of dreadful ema ciation, the Learned Counsel went on to describe the steps which that gentleman took to bring the affair to light. Mr. I'hiliimore, finding that Mr. Sloane belonged to Lincoln's Inn, applied to some of the authorities of that institution on the subject, and ultimately the girl was got possession of and removed to the Royal Free Hospital, where she was restored to a comparative state of convalescence, not by the aid of medicine, but through the instrumentality of careful nourish ment. Long ere her recovery, however, she was carried be fore Mr. Alderman Haniphery, at the Guildhall Police-court, where she made a statement which seriously implicated the prisoners at the bar, and naturally induced the Alderman to call upon Mr. Sloane to appear before him and answer the complaint. Mr. Justice CRESWELL here directed the Learned Coun sel's attention to the fact that he had said nothing about the age of the girl. Mr. CHAMBERS thanked his Lordship for the suggestion. The girl was 14 years of age when she was taken from the workhouse school, and she was therefore between 16 and 17 years of age when Mr. Phillimore's attention was drawn to her. At first it would seem that she was duly and fairly treated by her master and mistress, but in the course of time they began to illuse her, and keep her without food, till she was reduced to such a frightfully emaciated condition that her reduced bodily appearance attracted the attention of some of Mr. Phillimore's servants when she was carrying water from a neighbouring pump. Those persons, seeing her sink clay by day, spoke to Mr, Phiilimore on the subject, which eventually led to his interference in the manner he had already described. It would not, however, be necesssary for him to go through every individual case of assault, it would be enough if be should, by the evidence of the girl and other parties, show that the prisoners neglected to supply her with the requisite and adequate food for her sustenance. If not, then it would be the duty of the jury to convict them on the two first counts of the indictment; but as to the question of law, they had nothing whatever to do with it. It was beyond their province, and must rest entirely with the bench. And having thus stated what the nature of the facts were which the evidence would disclose, he would at once proceed to call that evidence, simply reminding them for a second time that the due administration of justice required them to dismiss from their minds all pre conceived notions of the case and be guided in their judg ment exclusively by the evidence. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, before any witnesses were called, announced that in the opinion of the Court the counts had not been properly drawn up. They alleged that Jane Wilbred was an infant of tender years under the dominion and con trol of her master and mistress, who were the prisoners at the bar, and who had wilfully omitted and neglected to supply due and sufficient food for her proper nourishment. No doubt that was an indictable offence in law, but according to the opening of the Learned Counsel the girl was between 14 and 15 years of age when taken into the service, while at the time when she was found in this emaciated state she must have been at least 16 or 17 years of age. Now, this girl could not be considered an infant of tender years, and therefore he thought the prosecution would fail in proving this material allegation, which would put an end to the case. Masters and mistresses, when they engaged domestic servants of mature age, contracted, of - cour — se, — to supply them with proper and sufficient food, and if they failed to do so it was a breach of the civil contract ; but he need not tell the Learned Counsel that this was not the place to try a breach of civil contract. If it could have been shown that the girl w,,s kept in durance, and prevented from re dressing herself or from complaining, or procuring any other service, then the case would have been different, and the priso ners might have been tried on these counts ; but she was not restrained in any way. On the contrary, she was seen from time to time in and about prisoners' premises, and she had ample opportunities of complaining to the various parties whom she saw around her. Mr. CHAMBER; conceded at once that the question about the tender years of the girl rested entirely with their Lord ships, but it was right that he should mention that although she was not in a state of absolute duress, yet the prisoners ex ercised such a control over her as to prevent her righting her self, or complaining to the people around her. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said children were by law con sidered competent to judge with reference to the most im portant occurrences of their lives and when disputes s_t 9e about the custody of a child, a child at a very early age w ...,s allowed to elect between the parties claiming i t w b as e It was, therefore, impossible to say that this girl tender years as to be by law quite incapable righting herself. d c ommon sense Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said both law and A g irl of as v s o t w ar g u c o h r six contradicted the allegation of tender yaeacr C 5 a but a young teen or seventeen years of age was,p: v t ent , to that that which woman, and was competent at II nature itself prompted. assistanceonrotofbeprsoaciudriugehe had looked simply iu the metropolis, and therefore, stiou of common sense the not opportunities of co mpla t i e n ° in u g id,a w hether they c a o t n t c h l e us louleisitiiioul:L°bi o .el t a s t E e. o s sla u .n l ie l e ilt q t u e e d that still there were two could decide—first, what was the questions which n nature ih.i r amount o j • huiarc:iii actualt tra nt exercisedan d over secondly,the that . there was no absolute duress, was the girl of sufficient capacity to enable her to egii,reelili;ledcsitid, sitnhge intellect or right het self? He apprehended that the ques tion of tender age depended entirely upon the extent and de velopment of the intellectual capacity of the girl. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said the Learned Counsel who opened the case had intimated no special circumstance of the nature suggested by Mr. lluddlestone, nor did the indict ment allege that the girl was of tender age by reason of the weakness or incapacity of her intellect. They must take the case according to the facts disclosed in the open ing and not impart speculative matters into it. The simple question was, had the prisoners exercised such dominion and control over her as to prevent her from com plaining to other parties, and the facts appeared to nega tive it. Mr. CHAMBERS said that if the Court was of opiaion that the girl could not be considered in the light of a child of tender years, why, of course, there wee en end of the case. hie MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

HAYMARKET THEATRE. An admirable farce entitled Good for Nothing was pro duced here last evening with the most complete success. The Good for Nothing is a wild, rollocking, hoyden, named Nan, who is living under the guardianship of a market gardener and a railway stoker, who in vain endeavour to correct her of her hoydenish propensities, and who are, moreover, themselves constantly quarrelling. Love, however, the universal conqueror, atlength conquers Nan, she falls in love and becomes civilized. The character of Nan was sus tained by Mrs. Fitzwilli-an ; the market gardener found a re presentative in:Air. Buckstone, and the-stoker in Mr. Howe. Mrs. Eitzwilliam's Nan was, after its kind, a perfect piece of acting. Her make up on her entrance from a tre mendous game of romps, hair all tumbled, frock all torn, boots all mudded, was irresistible ; and the awakening character of the mad-cap, wh en b roug ht I nto contact with sensible advice and instruction, was nicely shaded out in a series of small but insignificant and well-imagined points. Mr. Buckstone and Mr. llowe had each a little " charecter bit," which they developed with neat touches, and strong and bold colouring; anil_altogether the piece, consummately played as it was, is calculated to afford half-an-hour's legiti mate and thorough amusement. It is from the pen of Mr. Buckstone.

MAJESTY'S STATE CA RRIAG - 3 YESTERDAY.—On her Majesty reaching the entrance of the House of Lords yesterday, one of the royal footmen who rode behind jumped down to open the door, to enable her Ma jesty to alight, but, in doing so, incautiously neglected,in the first instance, to let down the large and massive plate glass window. The door happened to catch at the top, and, in consequence of the strain upon the glass by the jerk given in pulling the door open, it was cracked in all directions, and fell in fragments both inside and outside the carriage. Her Majesty was detained several minutes before the glass was cleared away by the attendants, and in her return to Buck ingham Palace, after delivering the Royal Speech, ahe was obliged to proceed in the carriage minus the window. For tunately, the weather was extremely mild, and the day very beautiful, otherwise her Majesty must hare had to endure considerable inconvenience.
