Z ri rr - - glytnina LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1850, An announcement made in our impression of last evening will have acquainted the public with the fact, that an eminent engineer has reported favour ably on the selection of Erith as the locality chosen I by Government fur the Metropolitan Cemetery. Any circumstance which tends in any manner to expedite the carrying out of the system of extramural inter ment must be eagerly welcomed by the inhabitants of tU, capital ; and consequently the intimation to which we are alluding cannot fail in affording general satis faction. However much we may object to the defici encies of the measure passed during the last session through the Imperial Legislature, we are still alive to the great advantages accruing to the metropolis and its vicinity from the simple fact of any such interference having taken place on the part of the Parliament. The concessions - made in the Metropolitan Inter ments Bill to the clergy of the Establishment continue, of course, as they have done hitherto, to fill us with regret at such an enormous dereliction of duty on the part of the House of Commons, an assembly to which the people have ever looked with con fidence as to the conservators of the rights and liberties of the population. We lament especially the circumstance that, in yielding thus largely to the ecclesiastical authorities, the Govern ment have consented !n an evil hour to authorize any body of men, but especially the clerical minority, to levy rates at their pleasure upon the multitude. Be sides this, it is matter of serious regret on our part that the local board presiding over the administration of the affairs of the ceme tery will remain subject to the domination of the metropolitan clergy, and especially of the Right Reverend Father in God the Lord Bishop of LONDON. Affecting the popular interests as the matter does so very peculiarly and intimately,we should have wished to see the system of extramural sepulture screened by every means from the interposition of any other a uthority than that immediately emanati ng f rom the people themselves. Nevertheless, the first question was, not How shall the change be effected? but Shall the change be effected at all ? And hence, while looking dejectedly at the blunders which have been permitted to mar the symmetry of the recent bold and beneficent innovation , we are prepared to exult most cordially over the mere consideration that the Legislature has adventured at last upon any such reform whatever. Scarcely lees than in the enactment itself, we have recognised blemishes in the selection of Erith as the locality for the Metropolitan Cemetery. We have done more than this : we have directed attention to those blemishes again and again in our leading cia lumns. We have pointed out the too close proximity of the site to London, Erith being scarcely removed b'yond the atmosphere of the capital. We have intimated the inadequate E xtent of the ground as contrasted with our periodical to mortality. We h ave o bj ecte d the access being principally, if not entirely, by means of that unfortunate river, Old Father Thames, already one might have imagined sufficiently contaminated. We have shown that from the unnecessary magnitude a the erngrglitnrP rpanirpri in thn nosh QM] Annii-. THE SDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1850. SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY we have endeavoured to demonstrate the scheme to be objectionable upon other grounds, such, for example, as its affording upon false principles a very unfortu nate and pernicious precede nt. Yet, in spite of all these reasons for hesitation, so great is our sense of the evils arising from the baleful system of intra mural interment, that we gladly s wallow all our regrets and disappointments to welcome the measure itself, and the carrying of it into operation. What ever errors are committed in the recent plans of the Government, as far as this sanitary innovation is concerned, they are as nothing compared to the horrors and abominations arising out of the old and atrocious method of huddling our dead bodies indiscri minately into our pestilential city graveyards. Instead of this latter practice, anything different, no matter how repulsive to our ideas of :propriety, would be preferable. Our first solicitude is, of course, to put an end at once and for ever to those fiendish and brutal violations:of the.sanctity of l the tomb which GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the originator of the whole sanitary movement, dragged into the light of day and revealed to the scrutiny of his fellow country men. Our first anxiety is to wit ness the realization of all the dreams of this good and brave-hearted citizen, one of the truest, the noblest and the most self-sacrificing of our national benefactors. While referring thus inciden tally to the great personal achievements of Mr. WALKER—to whose single hand and unaided energy may be traced all the sanitary reforms already adven tured upon by the Legislature—we cannot refrain from adverting to a brief but genial tribute lately paid to him by a very able member of the medical profession. On the occasion of delivering an official address to the students at the London Hospital, Mr. NATHANIEL WARD, * the assistant surgeon of that establishment, followed up in these words his refer ence to the reforms already effected in the promotion of sanitary improvement : " Weil may we be proud of reckoning among our number the promoters of such grand improvements. Well may we hold them up to you as brilliant patterns of extended Christian charity; of the unbiassed devotion of philosophy to the attainment of a definite object, fraught with peace, with health, with plenty, to many whose lives, at the pres"nt moment, are debased and embittered, and whose death is prematurely accelerated. In pointing them out to you, we refer your attention to no one among them with greater pleasure, with purer satisfaction, than to George Alfred Walker, whose name and whose deeds will ere long occupy more than one bright page in the annals of fame." What may be the precise views entertained by this distinguished citizen as to the advisability of select ing Erith as the locality to be employed for the pur poses of extramural sepulture, we cannot of course say ; but of this, at any rate, we rest assured — namely, that he, in common with ourselves and the rest of the community, is prepared to rejoice at every additional step in advance, at every step which car ries us nearer to the realization of his generous vi sions of philanthropy. " Introductory Address, delivered at the London Hospital," &c. By Nathaniel Ward, F.R.C.6.E. Bvo., pp. 32. London: Cox, 1850. The Chairman of the National Reform Association acted judiciously in impressing upon the minds of the people the great truth, that if they desire " an extension of their political rights, they must win it through their own exertions." There is no royal road to improvement. Before the dreams of the Financial Reformers can be realized a long road, crow led with difficulties, will have to be traversed, and every step in advance can only be achieved by strenuous and unceasing efforts. There can be no rest, no cessation of labour during the ascent. The goal must be reached before there can be time for slumber or enjoyment. If they persetere in time, they will arrive at the loftiest pinnacle, but they cannot remain stationary ; they must either advance or retrograde. They have a crafty and insi dious foe to encounter, who will make the most of the advantages of their position, and increase the difficulties of every movement. It is only by cordial union, by steady and combined exertions, by zealous co-operation, that the numerous obstacles and impediments can be surmounted. Any division or difference in the patriotic band will, if not absolutely proving fatal to their hopes, at least materially impede their progress; and to sow these dissensions will be the chief object of the reactionaries, as well as of those who argue for the finality of the Act of 1832. Let every true reformer, however, resist the attempt, and be prepared to sacrifice a portion of his individual opinions in order to produce that unanimity which is so essential to success. Many persons desire not only a large extension of the suffrage, but insist, as a sine qua non, that every man of full age, unstained by crime, and free from any legal disability, should have a vote in the selection of a Member of the House of Commons, "and we freely and readily admit that, so long as a single item of indirect taxation is continued, such is his unquestionable right and privilege. That there shall be " no taxation without representation."—that every man who in any degree contributes to the liquidation of the national liabilities, or the main tainance of the national establishments, should have a voice, either by himself or his representative, in the Legislative Assembly, is the constitutional theory of the British nation—a theory which has been recog nized and acknowledged by the most emi• vent statesmen and judges of the land. But, unfortunately, the attempt to obtain that full measure of justice, and the rejection of all intermediate ameliorations, would be destructive to the popular cause. Numbers of really honest men are not prepared for such rapid progress; they have been taken by the specious fallacies of the obstruc tives, that the people are not yet prepared for uni versal suffrage, that in such a case liberty would degenerate into licentiousness, and the remedy be worse than the disease. To meet these cautious doubts, the association has decided for the present to advocate the extension of the franchise to every adult male occupier of a bona fide dwelling, whether it be the whole or a part of a house. Would this, then, be regarded as a boon of so little magnitude that it should be rejected with disdain by any class of reformers ? In place of the electors being limited to about one million of persons, it would im mediately quadruple the number, and every man de serving of the franchise, and duly qualified to exercise that important trust, would see his way to its speedy attainment. Let the Chartists, before they permit themselves to be turned into tools of the Tories, seri ously consider the incalculable advantages that would result from this extension, and let them regard as their worst enemies and the worst enemies of the community, who would pressto for popularward their e i cause, a o u w s e n , all u r li g s e t t h r e a m i t o t r o s ex treme views, and to impede the proceedings of the real reformers, who seek after that which is practi cable, and may be speedily attained if there only be " a long pull, a strong pull," (but above all) 44 a pull all together." But it is not only in the extension of the franchise that the National Reform Association desires to ex tend the privileges of the people. It would afford ample security against the exercise of any corrupt influence in the exercise of the suffrage thus obtained. It would at the same time guard against bribery or intimidation, and for this purpose it would give THE BALLOT, which would prevent venality on the part of the elector, as well as coercion on the part of his landlord, I employer, or customer. It would protect ". duty he was called on to perform from every species of outrage,, and ensure the Inc ' lependence of his vote, the certainty that it his own priv:,', e person, for w h om h e voted would be known only to himself. Are not the Chartists ' rowing in the tame b oat ? Do they etta lam as one of the mat important " po i and shntk they not aid heart u rn this toped demand t "8 associa tionthe ballot nts” of their Ch ar t er and hand in its a t: t nitre ent ? The third proposition of the associat• ion.---triennial Parliaments—is a fair and reasonable compromi se between the existing state of affairs and the annual elections demanded by the Chartists. Many grave objections cau be pointed out to each of the extremes which are not applicable to the "golden mein." A man may calculate on a seven years' tenure of his seat, as enabling him to despise the remonstrances of his con • stituents. It will afford ample opeortunities for payi I • nga dishonest game, and intriguing' with the Ministers for the time being, if he be so minded. with respect, and their wishes and suggestions re ceived and acted on with zealous attention. Rattings and tergiversations are ever rare during the last years of an aged Parliament. But it may be said that all those arguments are more in favour of annual than of triennial Parliaments. Granted. But there are serious inconveniences to which 1 i the former are exposed from which the latter are per fectly free. There would be a constant and unceas ing excitement that would be by no means benefic La to the general interest of t he em p ire. There won a : be no rest or repose, and the country would be ex posed to a very heavy expenditure at too frequen n tervals. Besides, Hon. Gentlemen would not in a single year have sufficient opportunities of acquiring experience and showing the stuff they were made of. Many valuable representatives might be rejected, and their services lost to the country, because they had not been able to conquer the diffidence and mauvaise honte that must to a cer tain degree attend maiden efforts. For these among other reasons, we confess that, as at present advised, we prefer triennial even to annual Parlia ments; and they have this additional recommenda tion, that if it should be thought advisable, another stage might be taken in advance, whereas if annual Parliaments were once established it would be impos sible to prolong the term, however desirable it might be to do so. The equalization of the electoral districts is so ma nifestly just and equitable that it scarcely requires a word in its favour. It is, indeed, too absurd to say that Thetford, with its 223 electors, should neutralise the West Riding, with its 36,750 voters, or that Richmond (Yorkshire), or Harwich, with their 250 , or 260 voters, should be equivalent in the Parliamen tary scale to the Tower Hamlets. Let all classes then unite cordially and in sincerity. Let them sink minor differences in order to attain the common ob ject, and we promise a more speedy success than most sanguine reformers have ventured to anticipate. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The 3loniteur published official returns, showing the receipts of the Customs and Excise department for the nine months of the present year, from which it appears that the receipts of the present year exceed those of the corresponding period of 1849 by 28,1831., and of 1848 by 41,227 f. The Constitutionnel, as in duty bound, publishes a long article glorifying the Government for these results. The Siècle in commenting on the departure of M. DuriN from Paris, calls upon the Committee to con voke the Assembly at once. It appears that the sar castic DUPIN " trotted out" General D'llAurpour. on Friday to the great amusement of the Committee of Permanence. "Would you not have punished cries of 'Down with the President,' " said he to the heavy Minister of War. "That I would," replied General D'llAuTrcam. "Know then," sarcastically observed M. DuriN, "that ' Vive l'Emperereue means a bas le President. " It is said that Generals EXCELMAN9, OUDINOT and CITANGARMEIt, are to be raised to the dignity o . M: .arshals of France. There are rumours current of an npproacbin g change An the Ministry. It is said that General D'llArrrroui. will resign, and be succeeded by General LAIIITTE as Minister of War, who in his turn will be succeeded in the Foreign Department by M. DE PERSIGNY.

The General has made this ordinance public in an order of the day. it appears, however, that the resignations have not been accepted, and that General HAYNAU has not made use of his powers, having sent all the resignations to the Government at Withelmsbad. At Julda and Bocksnheim several officers of the troops stationed there had tendered their resignations.

FLOGGING IN THE AMERICAN NAVY.-2,201 lashes _mare adm'nistered on board the United States sloop-of-war MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, chiefly American, and nearly all to the trade. The market closed quietly at previous rates.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at previous quotations. The Corn Market is very steady, and with a small supply. Prices had rather an upward tendency. It appears that there has been no very satisfactory result at the quarterly meetings of ironmasters held last week, and prices were rather feebler, being irregular also, for it is asserted that there were sellers who had, for some time, been frittering away their capital, or gradually involving themselves, by doing business under the average of the trade generally. The competition in producing the better descriptions of iron is repre sented as being greater than it was, for formerly only the leading establishments turned it out. Speculation is exceedingly dormant in the:article, and, under circum stances, we cannot see that it can be expected to be otherwise, as there is no opening for increased con sumption at present. The simple fact has long been apparent that the make is too large. It might not have been deemed t xcessive during the fever of railway con struction, but as it is notorious that now furnaces were brought into play expressly for that occasion, it is as evident that when the outlet is closed the supply should be curtailed, and no one will be surprised to learn that different works are changing bands. Accounts to the beginning of September from Hon duras, give a very eacouraging representation of the state of trade, and one party writes as follows : "In this settlement we are very busy manufacturing the vast quantity of mahogany got out by the late floods. The Public Meeting has held a special session since my last. Much ill feeling exists between that body and the Executive. The latter has received notice of recall, which is highly satisfactory to the former, who seems determined to have the Chief Justice also removed, and will leave nothing done to effect his recall. This quar rel is local, and of no interest to your readers. In the states of Honduras and Guatemala, the. Indians, having met with many reverses, and having lost many of their most skilful and successful leaders, have given up the contest and retired to the 'mountains, where they are comparativly :safe from the whites, who, flushed with success and victory, are pursuing and occasionally taking prisoners and slaying some stragglers. The roads are now free. Cochineal and Indigo are daily arriving from Guatemala. An un usually large amount cif goods has been purchased fur that market during the list month. There are a large number of merchants from the interior now here making purchases. Merchandise is scarce and high. Some house might he established here for the sale of American domestics, which could not fail to be very profitable. From ten to twenty thousand bales of coarse goods could (with proper care) bo disposed of for cash, or cochineal and indigo, every year. I hope some of your readers will look to this. "From the Leland of Ruatan we have re thing in teresting. The people and magistrates having got tired of quarrelling have set to work planting, which will be far more profitable to them and this settlement. Our provision market is in a very good state. All articles from the United States are paying very well. Mahogany and logwood aro eking better than formerly. Turtle shell, indigo, cochineal, sarsaparella, are eagerly sought after; and on the whole we are in a prosperous and pay ing condition." In the Amsterdam Bourse on the 14th inet. Stocks were dull.

The extent to which speculative purchases have been made is such, that parties are running about offering very high rates of " continuation," as much, indeed, where the accom modation is but for a day or two, as would amount to 30 or 40 per cent. per annum.

On the whole, the de mand for that grain ruled steady, and last week's quota tions rare well supported. The imports of toreign Wheat have amounted to 9,410 quarters.. Selected parcels were in fair request, at fully late rates. Ia the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing. Fine Malting Barley was soarer', and quite as dear. In ferior qualities commanded very little attention. Malt—. the supply of which was on the increase—ruled heavy, but we have no decline to notice in prices.

ARCHDELL — SLANDER. This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action for slander, the defendant having suffaeci judgment to go by default. The plaintiff is one of the clerks on the Black wall Railway, and defendant is a young man of good family residing at Shadwell. Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Clark son for the detendant; and it was agreed that a verdict should be taken by consent for 51. Mr. PARRY said it would be unncerssa.ty for him to go into the particulars of the care, as the defendant had expressed his regret for using unwarrantable expressions towards the plaintiff, who was only performing his duty; and there was no imputation on his integrity, and he was still in the company's employ. Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, expressed his regret that tEe language had been used in a moment of irrita tion arising out of a dispute relating to some tickets. It was clearly a mistake, and defendant wished to make the best amends he could by acknowledging his error. The jury gave a verdict for 5/. 111ARLBRO'—STREET.—(THISD AY.) MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY AN ITALIAN.-- GiOVanni Zannelli, an Italian street musician, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with violently assaulting David Rees. The prosecutor was not able to attend, being at pre sent in Middlesex Hospital in a meat dangerous state from the injuries he had received. A certlticate signed by the house surgeon to the above effect was produced, when a young man named Shernon, who had witnessed the assault, stated that yesterday afternoon he was in Charles-street listening to the prisoner and his com panions playing, when he saw the man who is at present in the hospital,igo up and speak to one of the men who was playing the harp, and who in re p l y lau g hed, as in a good-humoured reanncr. The prisoner then, with out the least cause or provocation, left his com panions and seizing hold of David Rees, threw him with great violence into the road, the back part of his head corning in contact with the kerb stone. Witness ran forward and picked him up in an insensible state, and on carrying him to a surgeon's it was found that the back part of his skull was fractured. A constable was then called and the prisoner was given into custody. Rees was subsequently taken to the hospital. The prisoner denied the charge and said the injured wan used insulting language, and eventually struck him; in return he (prisoner) merely gave him a push when he fell down. Mr. HARDWICK remanded the prisoner until Wednes day next. ROBBERY AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. - John Williams, a young man with about 20 aliases, was charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mr. John Hinde Hale, brewer, No. 11, Oxford-street. The prosecutor deposed that on the previous night he was at the promenade concert at her Mjesty's Thea tre, and on making his way through the crowd he felt a tug at his watch. Ho looked round and saw the pri soner close by his side, and on witness feeling in his pocket ho missed his watch, which had been cut away from the guard. Witness immediately collared the prisoner, and taxed him with robbing him of his watch. The prisoner denied it, and having extri cated himself from witness's grasp, endeavoured to make his escape from the house. Witness, however, kept him in sight until he got to the door, when he gave him in charge to a constable. Police -sergeant Mount said he received charge of the prisoner, and conveyed him to the station, where he was searched, but the watch was not found. The prisoner was a me mber of the swell mob, and was well known to the police. The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was re manded till Saturday next. 80 90 2685 ]titan .. • Venice.... • • • • • • Naples •••• • • • • Palermo, peroz.. Messina ........

HER MAJ CLERKEN WELL.—( THIS DAY.) John Deering was charged under the following cir cumstances :—A policeman, of the E division, said that about eight o'clock last night he saw the prisoner in Judd street, Brunswickoquare, surrounded by a mob of about 200. He was swearing and running after several young children, and afterwards asked a gentleman to buy a pawn-ticket for a watch. Upan taking him to the sta tion thirteen pa wn-ticktts fur watches and eleven for pieces of silk were found upon him. In answer to further questions the witness stated that he was well known awn es a ti regular " watch duffer," g oin g about town selling p-ckets. The prisoner said that he bad bought all the articles at sales, and afterwards pawned them. Mr. CONDE said it was a regular system, and it was observed that none of the articles were pawned in the s ame name or at the sam e place ; he should, therefore, fine the prisoner 205., or 14 days' imprisonment.—The Sao was not paid.

The first of the series of these concerts took place last evening at her Majesty's Theatre, and whether or not the committee may succeed in what they state to be their aim, viz., "to present an intellectual enter tainment of the highest order, embracing the greatest works of the greatest masters, illustrated by the most eminent artistes in Europe," there can be but little doubt but that, as a pecuniary speculation, the enter prise will be most prosperous, that is, if we judge from the occurrences of last evening. Long before the opening of the doors every avenue leading to the theatre was crowded, and after a desperate struggle we succeeded in gaining admittance to what we suppose we must denominate (but merely z• s a fawn de-parler) the promenade, but which was really the cram, in which locomotion was im possible, and in which no seats were provided, and here we stood for three mortal hours listening to the music, except when the sounds of the music were drowned by the " sweet voices" of the somewhat noisy congregation amongst whom it was our ill fortune to be located. The interior of the house has been entirely redecorated; the rich hangings of Benton d'or coloured satin, which imparted such an unique and aristocratic appearance to the theatre, have be€ n removed, and have been replaced by some light hangings in imitation of lace. The pit is boarded over on a level with the stage, in the centre of which is the orchestra, raised s la Jullien. The stage itself is fitted up in that tent-like form which seems to be the usual legitimate stage decoration for theatres devoted to Promenade Con certs, and the refreshment tables are arranged at the back of the stage, behind the orchestra. The house was so crowded that shortly after the commencement of the performances it was found necessary to stop any further admissions into the theatre.

The programme does not certainly look like an at tempt to carry out the "aims" announced in the pros pectus, as it differs in no material feature from the musical pabulum usually provided at promenade con certs ; we must, however, make due allowances for the difficulties of a first night, and wait until the directors shall have gathered the whole of their company about them, in cluding their German chorus, from which we expect great things. Shortly after eight o'clock Mr. Bade. took his place in the orchestra, and was loudly cheered. The introductory overture is a very " taking " composition, and was much ap plauded ; it was beautifully instrumented, and is one of those very pleasing compositions that cannot fail to become extensively popular. M. Jules Lefort sang his song in a pleasing style, but he to us somewhat deficient in power ; it must, however, be recollected that we were most unfavourably situated for hearing him ; his voice is a high barytone. The Beethoven concerto was the gem of the evening, and, as performed by M. Charles Halle was; the very beau iclial of classical piano-forte playing F the audience seemed to feel the exceeding beauty of this exquisite composition, arid were, comparatively speaking, quiet during its performance. Made moiselle Angri was in excellent voice, and of course secured an encore of " Ah ! quel giorno ;" her recep tion was most enthusiastic. l‘liss lessent gave Wallace's beautiful air with much sweetness, and J- Sainton's fantasia was the perfection of classical violin playing. The quadrille and the waltz, conducted by M. Bosisio, were each excellent specimens of quadrille and waltz music, and as ususal contained solo parts for all the principal instrumentalists. The overture to Guillaume Tell was magnificently per formed and gave rise to a disputed encore, which greatly marred the pleasure of those who love music but hate rows ; the question of the encore being settled, the National Anthem was sung, the solo parts being taken by Madlle. Angri and Miss Mess.ent, the audience in the exuberance of their loyalty joining in the chorus with more vigour then discretion. Tho performance of Negri's selection from the Figliat with which the second part opened, attracted the atten tion of the "roysterers," who seemed particularly pleased with the solo parts, and who subsided into good be' haviour sufficiently to enable the lovers of music to enjoy the brilliant rendering of Listz's fantasis, by M. Charles Hall 4. The "No ! no ! no from the Huguenots, was given by Madlle. Angri in a magnificent manner; although the air was corn' posed for Alboni, Madlle. Angri succeeds in giving t° it an original expression of her own which is Yell striking. It was loudly encored. The Arban Polka, wit' t a cornet-a-piston obligato, was performed with grt, spirit by M. Arban, and the rendering o f " tiff, pep" M. Henri Drayton, was good, though Bo mewbs deficient in energy. Richardson , as usual, de ° lighted the audience by the marvellous facility/ sweetness, and flexibility of his flute PI; formance, and the galop " played out" ~t",, audience in the usual approved and lively style. -tm et orchestra is of first-rate excellence, and we eg th great things at these concerts for the future. ill l t i 4 the resources at their command, it is abundae evident that the committee of management Da ve ample means of redeeming every pledge they given.

SADLER'S WELLS THE - The appearance of Miss Sarah Lyons, a youllg of tress of considerable promise, in the charallist Desdemona, is a new feature at this house. 0 0 0 Lyons is possessed of great personal attractions, of though she does not seem to be yet free fr oo , o o , trammels of tuition, she gives evidence of earnes' e and substantial feeling rarely to be foun d in A.°l-yotO young. In the reiterated appeals to Othello ill l s o l o l of Michael Cassio her manner assumed m ore ' OO ordinary artlessness, and the endearing expre°oo", gained much effect from her youthful and ion, o re appearance. Othello is one of Mr. P helps ° to e Shakerian characters. Ile is eminently an t e :. tbo feeling,. and the play of the countenance uncl e '', iufluence of increasing jealousy, is a rente r instance of his peculiarity. The honest indig li o ar and sincere grief of Emilia are admirably efilm by Miss Glynn. regretd i eDEATH suddenlywe O F to-day, announceo 11 d l R a y , theT as I.lloehal4eti death of sf L p A rei w pr .aLri preparing „..
