'ales had the system ever worked prejudicially for any class. The Noble and Learned Lord, after replying to one or two Cher objections against the Bill, concluded by observing that iaere was no difficulty about then uestion before their Lord ships. There was no mystery at it, for any Noble Lord who chose to give his mind to the subject was just as capa ble of forming an opinion regarding it as those who had hitherto devoted the greatest time and attention to the matter.—(Hear, hear.) He then moved the second reading of the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM said his Noble and Learned Friend was entitled to the thanks of the public for the pains he had taken during so many years to obtain for this country the inestimable benefit of a general registration. There could be no doubt of the value of the principle of a general registration of property ; but much, as his Noble and Learned Friend must be aware, depended upon the details of the measure, and a person might conscientiously approve of the general principle, and yet argue that the proposed plan would not work. Indeed, everything depended upon the details. He had no doubt his Noble and Learned Friend would have no objection to afford ample time for the full censideration of his plan ; and there was one very obvious addition which it struck him might be made. There was no doubt that a registry-house, under a proper system, and under the management of proper persons, would be must valuable, and it might be made the depository for safe cus tody of other instruments besides those immediately con nected with land. It would be very desirable that wills should be so deposited even during the lifetime of the party making them. He knew one case in which the will cf a party was not discovered for many, many weeks after his death, and it was generally supposed the party had died intestate. Ultimately the will was found in an old chest in an odt house. There was another case in which th e party, having made his will, placed it under his pillow. It fell down be hind the bed, and the housekeeper pick ed it up, . and sup posing the paper to be of no importance, thrust it into the grate. Now, let their Lordships observe on how slight an accident its preservation depended. Had it been winter the will would have been inevitably consumed ; but it was sum mer, and after a search was made the will was found stuck between the bars of the grate. It was brought before him self and the other law Lords, and proved ; and but for that the property, which amounted to a sum of not less than 160,0001., would have been disposed of in a totally different way to that which the testator wished. He hoped the pre sent was only the first step in the improvement of the law relating to real property, and that it would be carried for ward vigorously and determinedly, but, at the same time, prudently, and by that means confer a real benefit upon the country_ He would impress upon all improvers the necessity of steering clear of two extremes—those who desired to see no change in the law, and those whom no ehange or im provement would satisfy. Lord BEAUMONT, as feeling a deep interest in the question, and as being the only member of the Committee which investigated the subject present, asked permission of their Lordships to address a few observations to the House. He was surprised that the system of registration had not been adopted at an earlier period. True, there had been a system of registration in operation in other countries for a very long period ; but it was not suited to a country like this. The law of real property was in England so different, so complicated, and so extensive, that the system in opera tion in other countries could not be applied to it ; but the more complicated and difficult the law with regard to real property was, the more important it was that a judicous system of registration should be adopted. One of its advantages would be, that it would insure per feet security to those who purchased or lent money upon landed property. It should be remembered that the trust-deeds appertaining to property were fre quently secured in different parts of the country, and an immense time was occasionally lost in collecting and then investigating many deeds, which afterwards turned out not to be essential the expense and delay thus entailed were very great, and many persons were thereby deterred from dealing with land who otherwise might be induced to do so. Runways had now provided rapid means of communication with the capital, which would facilitate the means of enter ing caveats. It had been stated that the effect of the pro posed system would be to deprive country practitioners of a great portion of the business connected with the sale of prepertya bat hie•communications with those who were con versant with the' subject had convinced -him that the con trary-would be the result. 'Every, persbri - acquainted with the mode of transferring property 'in Yerkshire must be aware of.thedncouvenzienee of depending upon a memorial instead of having - access to, the terms of the instrument itself. A memorial in the first place require i great skill in its preparation, and was very often so drawn as to conceal the purport of the deed. All that could be learned from it, therefore, was, that a certain deed was in existence, and beyond this you were no wiser than before. Nor was it possible to ascertain where the deed itself was deposited from the memorial, which moreover in no way dispensed with the necessity of an attested copy, while under the provisions of the Bill attested copies would be dispensed with. Another great advantage resulting from it would be the shortening conveyances by references to the register. Nothing could be more absurd than the objection to the measure on the ground of the publicity which it would give to transactions with property. Even if the allegation were true, he could not see the dis advantages which would ,result from it; but he denied that any greater publicity would necessarily ensue than existed under the present system. There was another point of great importance to which he was surprised his Noble and Learned Friend had not alluded, and that was the cancellation of in struments. It was most desirable that when the objects for which deeds were drawn were satisfied, so that the deeds were no longer of any use, the instruments themselves should be cancelled, so as not to encumber and embarrass future transactions. He contemplated great advantages from the institution of the deposit department, which would still further tend to render unnecessary covenants to produce. Another point on which his Noble and Learned Friend had not dwelt, was the system of caveats, which would have the effect of dispensing with contracts for sale, afford all the ad vantages of equitable mortgages, and do away with all the difficulties now created by the doctrine of notice. Of course there must be some limit to the caveat in point of time. Another suggestion made by the Commissioners, in order to prevent the register from being overloaded, was that unre gistered deeds might be binding between the parties, but still not valid against a purchaser. The great object ought to be to give perfect security to the purchaser, and, this point being attained, parties might choose whether they would register or not. Another most important point, and sale of great difficulty, was as to the effect of wills as against registered deeds ; but he believed the Commissioners had got over the difficulty by proposing that if a will eimuld be kept back, and not registered within two years, a conveyance from the heir. at-law should stand good and the purchaser be rendered secure. A testator might also deposit his will during his lifetime, which would get rid of die difficulty. All, however, would depend upon the index, for without a good index the register would become a nuisance and a source of danger. The Commissioners had cone to the conclusion that Mr. Duval's system was not satisfactory, and were of opinion that a map index would alone afford adequate security. The plan proposed would increase the value of land, which had been greatly depre ciated by the present system. Nothing could be more in correct than the idea that registration would be beneficial only to the owners of large estates; on the c ,ntrary, its ad vantages would be chiefly felt by the smaller proprietors, who, under the existing state of things, frequently found it impossible to sell their property. So strong was the feeling on the subject, that within the last year or two strong repre sentations had been made to him by copyholders in manors where the fines were actually heavy, urging him by no means to vote for any Bill for the enfranchisement of copyholds, unless a system of registration were adopted. There were many other points to which he should have been de sirous of addressing himself if time had permitted, hut he could not sit down without calling their Lordships' attention to one circumstance of great importance —namely, the elect of the bankrupt laws on the system of registration. It was a question with the Commissioners, whether an adjudication in bankruptcy caused by an act which preceded the dealing with the land, should affect a purchaser. That, no doubt, was a di ffi cult question, but still one which, i n his opinion, was completely met by the Bill. The purchaser who bona fide thought he was buying a good property, and had paid for it, ought to hold it against all the world, and ought not to be affected by any subsequent adju dication in bankrupty. Therefore, let creditors have the power by means of a caveat of entering a kind of notice with regard to their interests. At present it was well known that great hesitation was always felt in buying estates from per sons engaged in trade, who were thus made the victims of palpable injustice. The great . object was to protect the bona fide purchaser, and on this ground he would support the. Bill. Lord GRAN WORTH would not detain their Lordships by any lengthened observations, after the :all discussion which the subject had already undergone. It might not, however, be altogether useless to point out, in a word, to such of their Lordships who were not of the legal profession, that for the future, if the system of registration should become law, the proposition to be established on any sale or mortgage would be positive and not negative. Now, any person selling or mortgaging land had to prove what, in truth, was an impos sibility, the negative—namely, that there were no deeds affecting the title; but when every deed was upon the re gistry the obligation would lie on the other side to show that such deeds were in existence. That was a very simple mode of putting the case, and one which all their Lordships who were owners of land should bear in mind. Lord CAMPBELL expressed him se lf hi g hly pleased at the very pithy description of the effect of the Bill laid down by his Noble and Learned Friend. As the principle of the Bill had been assented to, all that remained to be considered were the details. These were still sub judice, and open to consideration on all sides. After the few remarks made by his Noble and Learned Friend, lie should feel that wo uld be best discharging his duty by proposing that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee. The Bill was then read a second time, and afterwards re ferred to a Select Committee. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter to Eight o'clock.

In the House of Lords, last night, Tho Passengers' Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Registration of Assurances Bill, the object of which was to establish a general system of registration of titles to real property, in accordance with the recommendation of the Commissioners. ,_. ....... ___ Lord BROUGHAM, Lord BEAUMONT, and Lord CRAN WORTH having expressed their approval of the principle of the Bill, it was read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. In the Commons, Mr. H. BAILLIE stated, in answer to Lord J. Russim, that it was his intention to withdraw for the present the notice of motion on the affairs of Ceylon, which he had given for the 25th inst. Lord J. RUSSELL complained of the unfairness of the proceeding, and Wf.l3 replied to by Air. DISRAELI, whom Sir G. GREY taunted with not daring to proceed with the charges that had been made in relation to this Ceylon affair. Mr. I tersaucaconsidered that all parties were to the blame, but th at mr' DlSRAELl'sshare of blame was double that of the °overn"t* ik words ee debate from e t S h i e r B. HALL, the subj e rn c , drop p cd e f . t Mr. MOORE resumed h e r a few adjourned dh Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which h © opp ose d as su b vers i ve o f religious liberty , Dlr. WIGRAM considered the on w ith the QUEEN' S su p re macy andcau law as at variance with liberty of con science, and as Dr. WISEMAR had object of the cr eation of the Amish h a n dmitted that the hierarchy was to introduce the canon law, he should vote • m favour of the Bill. Mr. Waits opposed the Bill. Ur. H. D. SEritotru would oppose this m easure as SUN, LONDON, inefficient, but would support a Bill for establishing a supervision over monastic establishments. Mr. GOULBURN considered the rescript of the POPE a violation of the compact of 1829, and at variance with the, spirit of the Emancipation Act. He would support the Bill, although ho thought it inadequate to meet the case. Sir 11. W. BARRON said the Bill would create continual disturbance in Ireland. Mr. CALTERT considered the measure as one purely of self-defence. Mr. CHARTERIB said there was no danger from Ro man Catholic ambition, nor any doubt of Roman Ca tholic loyalty, and therefore he considered the Bill un called for. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in a most eloquent and ar gumentative speech, proved that in no country in Europe had the PorE a right to ereate dioceses without the consent of the State; that the new prelates were by the canon law endowed with extensive temporal authority, and with a civil status, and, as an illustration of the encroaching ambition of Rome, he adduced the abnormal appointment of Dr. CULLEI, followed as it was by the Synod of Thurles. Alter alluding to the Roma nist tendencies exhibited by several admirers of the " pieturusple in religion in the Church of England, he concluded by declaring his intention of supporting the measure as the mildest possible enactment that could be devised for preventing Papal encroachment. Mr. CARDWELL denied that the proposed Bill would either prevent synods or the introduction of the canon law; it was just large enough to irritate, and not large enough to satisfy, and therefore ho should oppose it. On the motion of Mr. ANSTEY, the debate was ad journed. The House rose at Half-past Twelve. The debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill drags its slow length along. Three nights have already been consumed on the question of the second reading, in addition to the five previously wasted on the almost formal question of obtaining liberty to introduce the measure, and yet no one can venture to say when the discussion will come to a conclusion. To use a " fancy" phrase, the combatants seem "fresher than when they came to the scratch." Their bloods are thoroughly up, and " they mean mischief and no mistake." Will this week see the division ? We can scarcely con ceive how the unfortunate SPEAKER could bear the infliction for a longer period. The fervid, impas sioned eloquence of the Hibernian Members must begin to " pall his weary ears ;" any change whatsoever would he a relief to that much-bored man. We can almost conceive his attending as "an amateur " on the estimates, or appearieg in the House as a private Member, when relieved from his official duties by the Chairman of Committees, ra thar than submitting to another evening's de bate on the Papal pretensions. It is, how ever, manifest that Ministers look forward to an almost interminable discussion. In answer to a question by Mr. DISRLELI, as to when the Budget would be brought forward, Sir CHARLES WOOD said, " Not on Friday. It is impossible to say how long this debate will take. It (i. e., the Budget) will come on the first night after this debate." We have it thus on official authority that the precious Budget will not come on on Friday, and that it will come on the first night after the debate. Ergs, the debate will not terminate before Friday. We must, however, recollect that the respondent was our excel lent Minister of Finance, and we must make some allowance for the natural anxiety that must be felt by that unfortunate person to postpone the evil day when his " crotchets" will be gibbeted before the popular branch of the Legislature. We have heard of criminals on their way to execution • who could rejoice at the temporary respite afforded by a stop page of the thoroughfares, although they knew that their miserable existence would only be prolonged for a few brief moments thereby; and as,' owing to the withdrawal of Mr. BAILLIE'S motion, the " PEE CIOUi BUDGET" must again be brought forward, its unfortunate author eagerly clutches at an additional day's delay, at any expense of time to the country. How can we wonder at the loud and gene ral complaints of legislative supineness, and the vexa tious delays that must take place before acknow ledged abuses and grievances can be remedied, when the public time is so wantonly and recklessly thrown away in the most valuable part of the session ? Few of the " great guns" have as yet come for ward (luring the debate. We have had, however, three new aspirants for senatorial honours who made their voices heard for the first time within " the QUEEN'S Palace at Westminster." We have already spoken of the sensation created by the maiden oration of Sir RONERT PEEL, who eminently merited the congratulations he received, and gave ample promise that he would one day acquire a Par liamentary reputation worthy of the heir and repre sentative of his distinguished and lamented sire. Mr. H. KER SEYMER, the second postulant, spoke briefly, but to the purpose, although we do not suppose that the sentiments to which he gave utter ance will prove very acceptable to his constituency. Mr. CALVERT, the new Member for Aylesbury, made a very creditable " first appearance" on the Parlia mentary stage, during which he chiefly applied him self to answering the arguments of his old opponent of the Court of Chancery, Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER. The speech of last night was, however, that of the SOLICITOR- GENERAL,WhO took a sound, practical, common-sense view of the subject, and did much to relieve the diluted measure of the odium that has been cast upon it. The Right Hon. Gentleman clearly exposed the fallacies that had been put forward by the advocates for non-legislation on the subject, who assert that it was a merely spiritual authority that was exercised by the Sovereign PONTIFF. If that ar gument were once sanctioned—if it were admitted that " means which were illegal and unconstitutional,which involved a violation of our municipal and constitutional laws, a violation of the public law of Europe, an invasion of the sovereignty of the State, an outrage on the national independence, should be tolerated, because some persons might please to as sert that these illegal and unconstitutional acts were necessary to the due development of their religious opinions, there would be no limit or boundary beyond which it might not be carried." The Thug might justify his amiable weakness by assert ing it was only the conscientious performance of his religious duties. It is not in this manner, however, that we understand the glorious principle of universal toleration. Each man should be at liberty to exercise his own judgment so far as he himself is personally concerned, but he should not be allowed to insult his fellow-subjects, or to do anything forbidden by the statute or common law of the land. This liberty is best expressed by the legal maxim—Sic ulere sue, ut alienurn non lepclas. We give th© most extensive privileges to our Roman Catholic brethren, so long as they do not encroach upon the sacred and inalienable right which we claim for ourselves as Protestant subjects of this Protestant State. We rejoice to find that the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of ENGLAND has taken charge of the Registration of Assurances Bill, and that it will be carried through the House of Peers under his auspices. We have long since pointed out the vast importance of such a measure, and the great relief that would be thereby afforded to the landed interest, not merely to the owners of real property, but to all persons in any degree interested therein as occupiers or encum brancers. It is almost unnecessary to recapitulate the frauds and losses to which purchasers, mortgagees, and others are exposed under the existing system, and from which no amount of precaution can effectually protect them. The delays and expenses necessarily encountered in every dealing with land, whether a permanent transfer or a temporary change, are un fortunately but too well known, and we have no hesitation in saying that they materially de preciate the value of land throughout the country. If the territorial • aristocracy knew the price that they are paying for these ab surd, would we could say "obsolete" remnants of the feudal law—and the regar d i n g " lan d" as somethieg S O sacred that the title thereto is not to be touched w o o r ul t d h s e p ir eedwilhstle Therey know th e p r i ce i bthyaptrtohleaynearhean"dps—hey for can be no doubt that if land could be cheaply, cer tainly, and expeditiously transferred or charged— disposed of like stock in the public funds, or in any of our great joint-stock companies, at a few hours ' notice, and a few shillings outlay, its value in the market would be greatly enhanced, at least ten per cent. on the ordinary price. If, then, f rtESDAY V.VENII6I, we assume the total value of real estate in this country to be 2,500,000,000/. sterling, and we believe the estimate to ba by no means exaggerated, we shall find that the improvement in the market value will be no less than 250,000,000/. sterling; nearly one third of our national debt, or worth something more than the produce of tho income-tax and malt-tax—supposing that these imposts were perpetuated. Here, then, is a boon of no ordinary magnitude, far better for the land owners than the revival of Protection. The practical monopoly accorded by a bread-tax would not be equivalent to the removal of the legal nets and cobwebs by which the titles to their estates have been surrounded. And yet this important measure is passing almost sub eilentio, attracting but little attention, and regarded as of trivial importance. We would, how ever, invite public attention to the admirable sketch which the Noble and Learned Lord gave of the law of real property from the most ancient times, which proved that our ancestors required the most perfect publi2ity in all matters connected with the conveyance cr transfer of land, and that we are only returning to ancient principles in insisting on a full registration cf all deeds in any way relating thereto. We shall not at present enter into the details of the project. The matter has most properly been re furred to a Select Committee, where it will be fully discussed and maturely considered in all its branches, and from whence it will, we trust, emerge in a more perfect form—in a form worthy of the im importance of the subject. men se national r r 4. tlrar , . 4.1 rlr titttall WARWICK RACES.

It states tlat after twenty years of cordiality between the Govern!'l.nt and the company, their premises were suddenly subje4d to a search, " more like a search by pclico-c tficers for stotn goods than a visit for examination by officers of the Customs ;" that considerable quantities of goods have been sexed, a large proportion of which are actually nut liable to duty of any kind ; that fifty-three separate informations have been filed, comprising a multi plicity of articles, some cf' which are of the value of Id. each; and that nearly a year was suffered to elapse before any attempt was made to obtain a decision, when, although notice of trial in ten of the if formations was given to the company for the sittings last month, not one of them came on. It is also affirm& that some overdrawings of molasses, which had been marked amongst the seizures, having been inadvertently returned to the casks, the Customs preferred an indictment for felony against ten of the company's ser vants, upon which foutoe them were conveyed to Newgate, and that when notice of trial was at length given, the record was suddenly withdrawn. In conclusion, the petition states that some of the company's servants discharged for miscon duct have been taken into the pay of the Customs; that there is just reason to :Appose that others have been induced by the offer of bribes to give false information, and that some of the goods seized were purposely planted by these persons in the places where they were found. Looking at the de moralization and insubo.divation consequent upon these pro ceedings, together with ;he expense to the country and the company, and the generd injury to commerce, the company charge the Board of Customs with a Vagrant abuse of their powers, and pray the Legislature to provide a remedy.— Times.

EXTENSIVE DiscovEav OF COINS.-011 Tuesday last a discovery of ancient coins was made at the villa g e of C a d n am, in the New Forest; they were in an earthen ware vase, and numbered about 3,000, and consisted princi pally of brass, of the reig n s of Gallienue, Postumus , Vie torinus, Claudius, Grothicu s and Tetdcua, and a few of other Emperors, about the same period. The man , who was a shoemaker of the village, was at work in a gard en near his house, where he turned them up about one foot from the sur face.

While at oy about 15 years of age, named Adam Mtosh, was engaged in some of his usual oc cupations, he, by some means, got entangled / with the machi nery. Ills left arm was seized by a wheel-band ; and he was Pulled up till he came in contact with the wheel, when the arm was literally to' n ofl; and the poor lad fell to the ground, and in a few minutes after expired. Tna SLATE TRADE.—A considerable increase has taken place during the last half-year in the export of slate from the various quarries in North Wales. a circumstance at tributed to the repeal of the brick duty causing an impetus to the erection of houses. From the port of Cat narvon alone the exports for the last half-year have been 61,400 tons, being an increase of 11,000 tons over the prior half year, and for the month of February the shipment has been to the extent of 6,200 tons. In other ports a large increase is apparent. "RETURNING SENSE.—Mr. Leach, of Manchester, stated at a Chariot soiree at Sheffield lately, that " he had spent eighteen of the best years of his life in speech -making , but he would be sorry to waste the next eighteen years with out making a more sensible and manly effort towards doing good."

The house was crowded' Court of Illinois, at Springfield, early in January last. It excited considerable interest. An agreed case was fi l ed, and it was moved that a peremptory mandamus be iss ued to compel the auditor of public accounts to draw a warrant u p on the Treasury, for the proceeds of the two mill tax levied and collected under the provisions of the new Constitution , to be ' applied en certain State bonds, presentel for payment the MC first clay of January, 1851. The motion was resisted on the following grounds:— "1. That the Governor of the State was the person charged by law with the appropriation and disbursement of the two mill tax. " 2. That the State had a right to retain a pro rata share of the tax, and apply it upon the deposit made by the United States with the State, under the Act of Congress for the dis tribution of the surplus revenue, as that deposit was a debt due by the State. " 3. That certain interest bonds had been presented to the Governor, and that the holders of these bonds had a right to share, pro rate, with other bondholders. " 4. That all bondholders had a right to share in the dis tribution of the fund in controversy, notwithstanding they failed to present the bonds for payment on the first day of January, 1851, the day fixed by law for their presentation. " 5% ritten arguments were filed for the relators, and for respondents. " The Court announced their decision, awarding a pe - remptory writ of _mandamus according to the motion. By this ilecision four important questions are determined, viz.:— HAYMARKET TREAT RE. Mr. J. W. Wallace appeared here last night in the cut" racter of Macbeth, and fully bore out the favourable impr.eB' sion which his Othello had created. The distinguish in if characteristic of Mr. J. W. Wallack's acting is earnestneal he is evidently also a of udent of his art, and will achieve open himself a high place. Miss Laura Addison wa s full of power and energy as Lady Macbeth. Her acting during; the acen• of Duncan's deal h was sublime. She is by far the best re presentative of Lady Macbeth that we have now en the lj g ‘. fish stage. - - PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A melodrama of what may be calle d the regular 1110°. dramatic school, a melodrama of terror and of intense in terest, was produced here last night, and, thanks to the admirable acting of Mr. and Mrs. Charles' Kean, was trium pliantly successful. The following is the plOt:--Palilin. (Mrs. C. Kean), a young lady of fortune, travelling is Bengal, has been struck by the valour displayed by man ( Mr. C. Kean) at a tiger hunt, in which she believes he has perished. However, when she returns to Horacefrie in the north of France, she receives a visit from (i* is he called), who arrives just in time to save her cousi. Lucien (Mr. J. Vining), from the danger of a boar hunt. by a dexterous shot which kills the infuriated animal. The fate of Pauline and Horace i 4 now linked together. Theo is something about his appearance and manner that in s noble spires fear rather than love, but still the effect is lascinat: ing ; and when she suddenly receives an offer of his bane she accepts it scarcely knowing why she has done so. NY"! the marriage has taken place constant sources of uneasin_es! arise. The restless dreams of Horace betoken a troi!ble.oi conscience ; he never sleeps without a brace of pistols withoila reach, and he has two suspicious companion's. Pauline, lis a whole day alone in his old Norman chateau, while a tem pest is howling around her, is surprised at seeing three men and one of the men in blouses enters ; in blouses carrying a female form towards the residence., She lies down and feigns sleep, when a secret door_ f o P . On e. lieving her asleep he again de arts, an d s he, prompted bY„, _ irresistible curiosity, follows Phim through the panel. Doe finds that the woman is the wife of a traveller whom Ho.rce and his companions have robbed and murdered. filed, is a door in the vault where the party is assernblo, si,_ is witness of a dispute which arises between her husband: friends as to which shall possess the lady, and whichls the it is Horace hirusc.l Ban minated by the pistol of Horace, who deliberately sho ot s calve of quarrel. At this horrible sight Pauline falls s enseshe less and betrays herself, and her husband, finding tbaL ent, knows too much, imprisons her in a subterranean sPartmo with the intention of starving her to death. A and the spread that she has been murdered by some robbers, a11,,, en lady who was actually killied is buried in her stead. Who about a year has elapsed Horace again makes his wantaP among Pauline's friends, proposes rnarriage to her contract is prevented by the sudden app eons n Gabrielle, and is accepted, when the eighatur.%lre, has been whose dungeon has been discovered, and who Being rescued by Gabrielle's brother, her cousin Lucien. Lucien would bound by oath not to compromise Horace, LocL -- •age willingly let him go after preventing Gabrielle's iliarr but Horace is of too desperate a character to esesPe cT suchin easy terms. A duel is arranged between him and beneathLucten4 which only one of twe pistols, which are drawn from .- a cloth, is loaded, and when, at a given signal, both trigere. are touched, he falls mortally wounded. So infatuated Pauline with her unworthy husband, that even novi , vi n e 7 3. earance of almost dead in consequence of the suffering she2fd,ad dured, she is overcome with grief at the sight of ,;". n iv. ber's Wife, her triumph of last evening body. It is now some years since Mrs. Charles il6einfojik. peared in melodrama, but to us, who remember hei ill tm e o f i s not surprise . . as it was to some who have on eel, in in legitimate drama. Her acting was fullo beautifu l ' tensity and pathos, and yet graceful and aa exceedingly; it was a perfect model of what rotation of t i e 7Ltriong should be. Mr. Charles Kean's representation ot I d was perfect ; co d, courageous, determined, be seemed the very . tyke of deliberate calculating'll 10y. The l l e r vi a laude ---. called for at the conclusion, and loudly oPP house was crowded. ____.... a matter. _ OLYMPIC THEATILD. w a s pro,' A new two act comedy, entitled Charles King, ble acting duced here last evening, and owing to the &dilly& Murray. of Messrs. Henry and W. Farren, jun., Mr. Leigh T inn lete Mrs. Stirling, and Miss Louisa Howard, achieved a c'h i r g oes success. Its subject is founded on the gallantrie? of h ' e Ea rl 11., who figures among the characters, along with t A 8 01110 of Rochester, Sir Charles Sedley, Nell Gwynne , ani ere of other notorieties of that time. Charles King , the who this piece, is a sailor, the master of a trading vesse in his trips to the French coast, has fallen in love Iv. !, t little grisette, a fisherman's daughter, and has carried off, to save her from a marriage into which she was abo ut be forced. He brings her home to his mother in ill fiP h r hor and they are going to be msrried, when, walking.witm lover in the park, she attracts the King's attention. his unscrupulous Majesty gets rid of the lover by making to attendants involve him in a quarrel, and drag . hinli te r prison for fighting in the park, w hil e the gir, 1 1 . , ;e a resisting the honeyed words of the seducer, is. ca ate to a petite nzaison of the King's. In this tn.. of durance she is discovered by Nell Gwynne, who II; her story, and becomes interested in her behalf. i so denouement is rather clumsy. The girl's father, Y e ~4 betore, had saved the King from being taken in his Delve escape to France, and had given him a ring in token his gratitude. This ring she now uses in appealing toll, King's generosity and honour. To resist such an appal'', of course out of the question; the King instantly aban an "" his criminal pursuit, and restores the girl to her loe!: In the first act there is a very pretty incidental ballet. In; acting of Mrs. Stirling as Mimi, the French grisette, W,.. beautifully natural, and her broken English told most diet_ tively. Mr. Henry Farrell looked and acted the Merry Br; 'larch to the life, and Mr. W. Farren was the beau ideal tb• hearty bluff sailor as Charles King. The great hit of evening, however, next to the Mimi of Mrs. Stirling, yes the Dutch sailor of Mr. Leigh Murray; his mak e up 0 , perfect, and his dialect and acting admirable. Th e a pP ,4 " was general at the fall of the curtain. SURREY THEATRE. A new tragedy, in five acts, entitle I Waltheof, was cP Pis, duced last night at this theatre with triumphant su e sn t The following is the outline of the plot, which is simple , ~, artistically constructed and developed. About four Ye:s of after the battle of Hastings, a revolt against the iron som erui the Conqueror is organized, which embraces not merely i Saxons of note, but also some discontented 1• 01111 ‘7 0 a principal of whom is De Guada, Earl of Norfolk. den,oee to r t° little difficulty the conspirators succeed is wi nning their cause Waltheof, the powerful Earl of Hunt s i n g he h a nd whom King William had granted life and lands, allusitheof of his own niece Judith. After the departure ancient and to head the rebel host, Guiniver, a beldame of . 0 the regal British b ood, and filled with the deepest ha•"tetrvieW Saxon and Norman alike, persuades Judith in tus in she ie that the only chance to save her husband, to wbun i t ,, to passionately devoted, from certain ruia is an dys stionsf, the fbrm her uncle, the King. who is then in of the revolt. The consequence of her compliance wai l -A rises. treacherous suggestion is, that the insurgents are sucK, has by the royal forces and completely routed. Waltheut_,'se been meantime visited also by Guiniver, whom he con elves awe" reeding. On his return home, after the defeat, a very P _, i, to be a supernatural being, and informed of his wife's gr_u tic scene occurs between them, but the Earl of Surrey glan s 1 army speedily arrive its pursuit, and take the rebel chieilal pr i so ner. He, however , receives agai n a full royal pardon, F ll s , still persists in his patriotic and desperate course, it et ls, ' c onveyed to him, thrsugh the agency of Guiniver, ah! fiendish contrivances are ever active, that he is about to b! transported to Normandy. His castle is stormed ; and ill s " desper ate combat with Surrey,sust as his sword is shiveres Judith rushes in, and receives the blow intended for him _I I her own breast. He str ikes Surre y dea d with his p on y stabs Guiniver, who flings h erself from the battlements, 1111' immolates himself over the dead body of his wife. The dialogue was nervous , unstilted , and smooth throughout; the piece admirably put upon the stage, especially as regards of; c amp scene with the watchfires, and the castle of' Waltheof! and the costumes appropriate. All the performers acvittl themselves excellently well. Mr. Creswick, as %Ve d t; played very finely in the scenes where he learns the griev e error of his lady, and where he reproaches her with its on sequences, and all throughout the fifth act. Cerdic, a S al i r . Thane, was admirably pourtrayed by that clever artist, . T. Mead; and Mr. Bruce Norton, as Warreane, looked trtutlif villanous. We would, however, recommend the would gentleman to sport a less outrageous beard, whicht7 to doubtless be an invaluable display in a burlesque , bu s a no . say the least of it, utterly dissonant with all receiv. fi d the tions of the Norman toilet, which rigorously ed visible hirsuteness of the physiognomy to a e lose c° ly n - d t i r n i th e r en d moustache on the upper lip. bliss Cooper, as J u an d ward Miss Jane Coveney, as Adele, the wife of De Gandao; eudation. to William, the king, are well deserving ef W.
