LITERATURE.- 110)11E. By Miss Sedgwick. Mr. Slater has rece_ttly commenced is s uing a new series of monthly volumes entitled "Slater's Hume Library," at the moderate price of sixpence. A class of works excellently adapted for domes ti reading is t h us placed within the reach of t he majority. For such a purpose there is, perhaps, no single tale better calculated than Miss Sedgwick's admirable " Home." It has been often before printed in this country, but we would gladly see it re printed until it has found its way to every fire side in the kingdom. The moral of this little novel is identical with that of Bulwer'a last end most excellent composition. The home cf Mr. Barclay, the humble American printer, like the firesid e o f the lustrious Wan Caxton, d escendants of the il is to little of its benefici a l influence tliko ely every impart individuil The magical who approaches to contemplive it. power of home influences are visible throughout- the various phases of the existence of every member of the Barclay family. 'lbis story is, moreover, very ap propriate for is cheap series, as the following extract may testify. In this country, without the republican institutions of Aitieric3, there is a gener3l prev,i ence, of democratic principles. The advocates of suf. t h principles will do well to ponder on the arguments of Mr. Barclay : "We do not yet realise that we live in a new s t a t e o f things, and that the tquallty, which is the basis of our institutions, should also, as far as possible, be the basis of education. There is no sort of Eferiority about which young people suffer more than that c.f . manners. There are other things certainly far more important, but this fur ever bt fore their eyes, pressing on their observation—is seen and felt at every , - turn. The morals of manners we try to teach our ehA. dren nt horns; arbitrary rules and external graces tkiey must take the usual means of acquiring." " Well, you certainly ate odd, Barclay." " What do you mean by that?" " I suppose I may speak out, for neither you nor your wife are touchy." " Yes, pray speak out, my friend: soy wife and I both approve the speaking-out principle." Mr. Anthon fidgeted on his chair. He felt a good-, natured reluctance to criticising his friend, and perhaps.' a secret consciousness that it was bold in him to du ao. After a little hesitation he sheltered himself under that broad, common, and cowardly shield, " they say," and proceeded; They say, Barclay, that you are very in consistent; that your family is the plainest dressed family, for people of your property, that enter the church-doors; that your furniture—now I don't mean to be impertinent; I know that everything is as neat and as conif,rrabl e hero as an be;—but they say you might afford to have things a c t ittle smarter —more like ether folks, who don't think of sending their children to ex rensive schools, and to this, and that, and the other; three of thorn, I heard a person say, attended Grisoom's course of lectures on natural philosophy, with you and your wife. That of itself runs up to a sum that would buy some pretty articles." "It does so, Anthon, and therefore I cannot buy ' pretty articles.' lam a prosperous man in my busi ness, but my income is limited, and I must select those objects of expenditure that appear to me wisest. Now I bad rather Alice should learn to draw, than that she should wear the prettist ear-rings in New York, or any hard-ware of that description. I would rather may boys should learn from Prol!ssor Griscom something of the nature and riches of the world we live in, than to have a mirror the whole length of my mantle-piece. No, Anthon, I can spare money elsewhere, but, till I am compelled, I'll not spare it in the education of my children." )1 9 ° 3 4 3 2 25 2 32 0 • In • • _ 4 FEBRUARY 12 ) 1850.

Sturt had induced him to commence the bank, and'. misled him as to its actual position throughout its ex-• istance ; that he had placed his rffairs under the cor - trol of inspectors. at the time of the- stoppage; ar.d that his present inability to pay the creditors twee than a merely nominal dividend arose .out of the re presentation of Start and others as. to the value of bills under discount not having been borne out, and the other property - having realised a considerably less sum than that at which it was valued by competent persons at the time of the suspension. Mr. Gibson was now subjected to a ososs•examina tion by Mr. BAGLEY, from'which it appeared that immediately atter his stoppage he 'broke up his esta blishment, removed to a smaller house, and sold his horses and carriage. He had not been paid for his carriage, the person to whore he had sold it having gone away. His furniture was still in his house, having been purchaied for him by his brother at a cost of 6001. FRENCH PLAYS. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Adolphe Adam's celebrated opera com;que, Le Roi d'Yeetot, was performed here last evening, for the first time in England. Its success was com plete. This opera was originally produced at the Opera Comique in Paris, in 1842, on which occasion Chollet appeared in the part of Josselyn, which was written for him, and which he sustained last evening, and exhibited the same exquisite taste and the same versatility of talent which he did on its original pro- duction, and thus secured the success of the opera as completely in London as he had' previously done in Paris. The seigneur of the good town of Yvetot possessed in former days the title of king, and Le Roi feta has been handed down by tradition as the prince of good fellows, as being somewhat analogous to our Eagli"h " King Cole." Upon this tradition the opera of Adolphe Adam, the scene of which is laid at Yvetot in the time of the Crusades, is founded. At the period when the opera opens there is a disputed succession to the kingdom of Yveto', the old king has been killed in the Crusades, and while the people desire to proclaim Messire Josselyn (Chollet), a retired tradesman who, like King Cole, is " a merry old soul," as his successor, a certain commander of Malta, imperious, proud, and disagreeable, lays claim to the vacant throne. This commander has a nephew who is in love with the daughter of Josselyn, Marguerite, and the commander is most irate thereat, seeing that he desires that his nephew should enter the Order of Malta. Josselyn himself, and Jeanneton, his servant (acted 'with great tact, spirit, and humour, by Mademoiselle Guichard), be friend the young couple, and, after divers adven tures, force the commander to consent to the match, for Jeanneton discovers that Josselyn has been desig nated by the last Roi d'Yvetot as his successor, and he accordingly succeeds to the vacant throne, which gives bins power over the old commander; and it is, moreover, discovered that Marguerite, the adopted daughter of Josselyn, is in reality the daughter of the Commander of Malta, who is very glad to com pound for secresy on that point, by consenting to her marriage with his nephew. The music is very pleasant light, sparkling, and effervescing, if we may be allowed the expression ; it never flags, but carries the piece buoyantly on from the first scene to the last. The opera was strongly cast; never was true bonhommie more admirably illustrated than by Chollet as Josselyn. He looked like a man whose beau ideal of happiness was to be let alone to drink, and sleep, and live on term s o f hospitality with his neighbours. He sang the music with exquisite taste and effect, and was deservedly encored in the celebrated finale to the second act. Mademoiselle Guichard was full of espieglerie as the intriguing Jeanneton, and Mademoiselle Danhausser made a most interesting Marguerite. Chollet and Mademoiselle Guichard were called for at the conclusion. It is announced that there will be no performance at this Theatre to-morrow evening, it being Ash-Wednesday, but that, instead, there will be a morning performance on Thursday, to commence at two o'clock, on which occasion Le Domino Noir will be given. n GUILDHALL, JANCARY 28, 1850. el j a ,,,'` - ' OI 4,IVIITTEE for LETTING the CITY'S ‘l4lir"tr Inn MEET at OCILDIIA LL on WEDNESDAY, the 1 , 3t1 44 1 1 41 1 ) , r 1;., ~, ixt , n est, at One o'clock precisely, to receive TEND1..11... otlt, olt -- ` 1 nit LEASES for twenty-one years ft•ofn Lad;,,tls) "0 I/ ' 4 " , No. 14 . %well N i s ,ea the north side of Broad-street-bmidings ; gliert4l4B; t'hl:di:08411 , so, t o . . 29, on the south side of Broad-street -441t0 (2eeetve TENDERS for LETTING on LEASES, ror 175 i uitt .., • o .. 41 s;_!i"In uth i AselditY-rout ' Lady - day from next, a House, No. 9, Ar -. th e „,,- •,,,i, Seven . n v 53. 55, 54, 54, 58, 60, and 61, 1 44 ; 7' si t the %of Banner-square, Nos. ; Two Houses, Nos. 47 i• er-0t..... !Mt side, and a House, No. 27, on the north side of .It•pletVri, Pillsbury ; Nine Houses, No;. 1 to , 9 inclusive, u in . ! o f !' n n the ' n n an ne, N otreet • sad Eighteen Iloas.•s, Nos. 7 to . 24 incl liCttiter p,,, - " 41 , 4 side of Coleman -street, Banger-street aforesaid. —40 4. at -- th,;_ e r t.ol and plans tnay be seen, and tornis of tender • , - "''''fie6 bt Works, Guildhall.

JOHN ATT WOOD, Chairman. L ondon, February, 1850. Air. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury on the part of the defendant in a very humorous speech, in which he ridiculed the airs and pretensions of all prima donnas, and such important_ professional per sonages, many of whom were addicted to such un steady habits as often rendered it necessary to have an apology made to the audience for their non-ap pearance, owing to indisposition. He expressed his sincere pity for the managers and proprietors who had to deal with,§2qh characters. He submitted that the defendant, finding himself grievously mistaken in the qualifications of the lady he engaged, was fully jus tified in the course he had taken, and in determining the engagement when Miss Harland had refused to play the part he had assigned to her. Several witnesses were then called, who stated that the music was not essential to the full development of the character of Wilhelmina, or of the plot of the piece ; and that the lady was bound by her engage ment to play the part that was assigned her, even though the music had been cut out. Mr. HUMFEETS, in his reply, commented severely upon the conduct of the party that had instructed Mr. Sergeant Wilkins to throw out the insinuation of " free habits" against a lady whose conduct and character throughout were unimpeached and unim peachable.

His HONOUR said that the simple question was, hkd the bankrupt then made the statement with an inten. tion to deceive the creditors? Mr. LINKLATER said that that wa s th e cake. Upon being re-examined, the bankrupt denied that at the meeting of creditors his solicitor, Mr. Walker, had said that his (Mr. Gibson's) relatinn wou ld , oe him through it, if it were to the extent of 20,0001. Would not undertake to say that Mr. Walker had not said this, but he believed that if he had he should have heard him. CHEAP EDITION OF MR.

The bankrupt Sturt said he wished to examine Mr. Gibson respecting the statements at the last hearing touching his (Sturt's) conduct. He had said that he believed him to be in the receipt of an income of several hundreds a year. Mr. LAWRENCE—I Will undertake to give you cre dit for not having had a shilling. His HONOUR said that he did not impute to Mr. Sturt any improper conduct in forming the bank. Mr. Sturt appealed to Mr. Gibson whether, pre vious to the commencement of the bank, he had not informed him that he was in expectation of entering upon a valuable appointment in connexion with an other bank.

Mr. Maddox (in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins) begged leave to say that he had never in structed his solicitor or counsel to throw out any such insinuation. Mr. Gibson said that, on the contrary, he had been informed by him that he was contemplating going to take up his residence in Australia. He (Gibson) re collected Sturt suggesting that the title of the bank should be " Gibson and Company," upon which he (Gibson) objected to such a title being made u2e of, as he should consider it would be a fraud upon the public. He did not like the use of the word company. He preferred the word " Sturt" being used. He would admit that he had worked like a horse to get him (Sturt) out of his scrapes in actions, but be (Gibson) had always lived in friendship with his neighbours. Mr. Sturt—Do you recollect wishing an indict ment to be preferred against Mr. Story for perjury ? Gibson—No; but I recollect your wishing it. Mr. Sturt put another question of this kind and a series of others, and received similar answers. Upon being re-examined by Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Gibson said that the account submitted to the creditors by Mr. Walker had been prepared with great care, and that he had every reason to believe it to be true. The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday next, at eleven. Mr. HUMFREYB was glad to hear such a denial ; he fully acquitted him of such a charge. Mr. Maddox observed that he would be glad to have so excellent an actor as Mr. Humfreys proved himself to be as a member of his establishment.— (L augh ter.) His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. " Well, I never thought you was such an ambitious man." On this result being ascertained, there was a good deal of cheering in the body of the court. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last night Charles XII. was played at this house most of the principal characters being sustained by the same actors as at Windsor. The Adam Brock of Mr. J. Wallack is a reading of the part different from that which has generally been adopted. The hearty honesty of the worthy farmer is plainly brought forward, but the comic side of the character, originated by Mr. Liston, is kept down. Mr. Web ster's Charles, which is carefully dressed and acted, is based on the version of Mr. W. Farren. Miss K. Fitzwilliam is a pretty, unaffected Endiga, and she sang " Rise, gentle moot'," very nicely, though it loses somewhat of its character by its transposition from the contralto. The pompous officiousness of Mr. Tilbury, as the Burgomaster, created some amusement. 110 1° 1 6 ' S ilbt llbo tixi.

This was an action to recover a moiety of the fees received by the defendant as incumbent of the dis trict of St. Thomas, in the parish of Prescott, Lanca shire, for burials, marriages, and christenings in the district chapel. The plaintiff claimed as perpetual curate of the chapelry of St. Helens, out of which, it was said, the district of St. Thomas was carved. The defendant's answer to the claim was twofold-Ist, that he was entitled to the fees in question as in cumbent of St. Thomas, and 2dly, that if he was not entitled, the fees of right belonged, not to the plaintiff, but to the minister of the mother church of Prescott. The case was argued during the last term, and judgment was now delivered. Mr. Baron PARKE said that the question was pre sented to the Court in the form of a special case, and the Court had, with great reluctance, performed the duty of a jury in disposing of it. The question was, in fact, whether the chapelry of St. Helens was, from time immemorial, a parochial chapelry, the incumbent of which was entitled to receive the fees of right payable for performinge the offices of the church. Now it appeared in evidence that no chapel. wardens had ever been appointed at St. Helens, and no church•rate had ever been levied there. There was also some evidence to show that the chapel was endowed in the reign of James 1., by Lady Doraville, the minister being appointed to read prayers in ease of the vicinity. It further ap peared that one of the incumbents had been a Non conformist. From all these circumstances, the Court inferred that St. Helens was not a benefice belonging to the Church of England, and that it was, in fsct, nothing more than a " chapel of ease." This being the case, the incumbent of St. Helens was not entitled to any portion of the fees received by the incumbent of St. Thomas. The judgment of the Court would therefore be for the defendant. Judgment accordingly. (Sitting at Nisi Prim!, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Specie( Jury.) BULL V. RANKIN. Mr. Crowder (with Mr. Miller) for the plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins (with Mr. Noggins) for the defendant. The trial of this case, which, as already stated, was part heard on Saturday, was resumed at the sitting of the court this morning, and occupied the whole day. It appeared that the plaintiff, who kept a circu lating library in Albion-place, Hyde-park, in the month of September, 1841, made a runaway match with one of the defendant's daughters, whilst the plaintiff's brother, a butcher, carrying on business in the same neighbourhood, married a second daughter of the defendant's. The plaintiff's wife died in Jan., 1848, soon after her confinement, and it appeared that shortly before her death the defendant, who is a widow, become reconciled to her daughter, and vi sited her. The deceased Mrs. Bull was a great pro ficient in music, to which she was attached from an early age, and in 1834, when she was only eight years old, her grandmother, a Mrs. Davis, then 73 years of age, and living with the defendant, pur chased a piano fur 150 guineas, and this piano was played upon constantly by the plaintiff's wife, and treated as her property. A writing desk, valued at fifteen guineas, was also purchased for and used by the plaintiff's wife many years before her marriage, and to recover the value of those two articles, the piano and writing-desk, the present ac tion was brought. It appears that Mrs. Davis, the grandmother, died in 1836, bequeathing all she was possessed of to her daughter, the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that the plaintiff's wife, before her marriage, usually kept the key of the instrument in question, and that another piano had been purchased for the younger sister, who was not so advanced in musical acquirements. On behalf of the defendant it was urged that al though the piano and desk were used by Mrs. Bull before her marriage they were not her property, and it was suggested in support of this view that the plaintiff had neither claimed nor demanded them until some months after his wife's death; and that after the first trial of this action the plaintiff wrote to the defendant asking her for pecuniary assistance to en able him to leave the country, and throwing the blame of the legal proceedings which had taken place on the plaintiff's father and brother. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, ob served very strongly upon the want of mutual good feeling which characterised the parties in this action. A. sum had been expended in litigation, there having been two trials, which must have more than doubled the value of the property sought to be recovered. The only question, however, for the jury was, whether the piano and writing-desk were the property of the plaintiff's wife before her marriage ? The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed, 165 guineas ; but being reminded by the Chief Baron that the piano was purchased sixteen years ago, and could not be worth its original cost, they again re tired, and ultimately returned a verdict for the plain thiff—Damages 801. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLRoYD.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF GIBSON AND STUB'''. The bankrupts were bankers at S. Alban's. This was an adjourned hearing of their application for their certificates. _ _ Mr. Linklater appeared on behalf of the assignees to oppose the certificate of Gibson ; Mr. Bagley ap peared on behalf of Miss Markham, to oppose the certificates of both bankrupts. Mr. Lawrence ap peared for Gibson. The bankrupt Sturt conducted his own case. It will be recollected that the first day's hearing was devoted principally to an examination of Sturt and others, with a view to impugn the conduct of Gibson ; that the second day's hearing was devoted by Mr. Lawrence to an examination of Gibson, with a view to show that he had incurred heavy losses by his connexion with the bank; that he alleged that POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. All the parties taken last week in an alleged com mon gambling-house, known as the Strangers' Club, 119, Jermyn -street, were in attendance at the court to learn the decision of Mr. Bingham, who had taken time to consider the evidence brought before him. Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the defendants, having contended it was not conclusive enough to warrant the bench in convicting the defendants. Mr. Clarkson also took other exceptions against the pro ceedings, which mainly tended to establish a charge against the police fur having exceeded their lawful powers. _ Mr. BrivaHAM having requested that some three or four of the defendants should be summoned into court then proceeded to give the Bellowing decision. Mr. BINGHAM—The defendants have been brought to this court, one of them as the keeper of a common gaming -house, the others as persons found therein without lawful excuse. It appears that a superin tendent of police, acting under the Commissioners' order, repaired to the house in question at night, when a person on the outside made a signal to those within by coughing and throwing a missile at the window. The superintendent immediately caused the outer door to be forced open, but found another door within con structed of iron, and so firmly secured that the pro cess of beating it open would have occupied a quarter of an hour. After some time, however, that door was opened by a person within, and the police, on proceeding up stairs, found the defendants apparently taking refreshment. Th ere was a ta bl e i n t h e room covered with a black varnished cloth and a back• gammon-board. No cards, dice, or any implements for gaming were discovered, but there was a square mark on the varnished cloth, that corresponded with the size of a die. From the precaution taken to bar ricade the house, and to give notice of the approach of the police, no doubt can be entertained that the per sons within were engaged in some unlawful pursuit, and the grounds for suspecting that they were en gaged in gaming are so strong that the Commissioners were fully warranted in making this attempt to ob tain the evidence necessary to establish the offence. But neither a magistrate nor a jury can be justified in proceeding to a conviction upon mere suspicion, however strong, and there is nothing in the evidence before me to show unequivocally that this house is a c o mmon gaming -house, or that the defendants were engaged in gaming. The appearances are compatible with various other offences which the offenders might be anxious to conceal, there is nothing to show de cisively that that offence was gaming, and the de fendants therefore will be discharged. A solicitor, who attended for the alleged proprietor of the house, asked Mr. Bingham to inform him where the documents were on which which the police had grounded their proceedings ? Mr. BINGHAM would tell the applicant very fairly that he would give him no assistance whatever in the furtherance of any ulterior object he might have in view. If he did give information or assistance, it would be on compulsion only. The solicitor said the police, in addition to breaking into the house forcibly, had done mischief to the pro perty found therein. They had, without pretence or lawful authority, wantonly destroyed property in the house, and it was therefore determined to ascertain how far they were warranted in their proceedings. That the police were not justified in destroying pro perty he was certain ; for when the Act of Parlia ment under which the police acted was in preparation he had called on Sir James Graham, and, after draw ingarctialtetsenbteiionngtuosead pfaorrticular clause in the Act, the purposes, Aot.

On the part of his clients he wished to have a remedy against the police for this illegal act, and would, therefore, beg to know where the documents were. Mr. Clarkson said the documents which had been produced before the Court no doubt would be in hands responsible for their production. He was not sur prised to find that the Court would not render as sistance to the applicant with reference to ulterior proceedings against other persons ; but he would submit that he was entitled to know where the docu ments were, in order that they might be forthcoming when needed. Mr. BINGHAM had carefully considered the con duct of the police with reference to the complaint of their having wantonly and unnecessarily destroyed property, and the result was he refused to assist or further ulterior proceedings. He would further say, he considered the defendants fortunate in escaping conviction; for had the table been produced in court it might have happened that he should have given a different decision. In reply to a question of the Learned Counsel about the documents, he said he did not know whether the documents were in court or elsewhere ; but, wherever they were, the applicants must at them how they could, fur lie would lend no Mr. Clarkson was satisfied, even had the table been produced, that it would not have assisted the case. The defendants were then discharged, It may be necessary to repeat that the majority of names given by the defendants were assumed. Some persons have complained that their names have been used, .and they wish to have it known that they are not the accused parties. The alleged proprietor of the Saloon, Piccadilly, a person named Beale, attended with his professional adviser, Minor the decision of the Bench with refer- ence to a summons obtained against him by the police for " knowingly permitting common prostitutes to meet and remain in his house." It was proved that there was neither dr un k enness nor di sor d er ly con d uc t visible in the Saloon at the time. Mr. BleGuArkt said the defendant, a free vintner, who keeps a house of public resort, in which re freshments are sold, has been summoned to this court, under the statue 2 and 3 Vic , c. 47, s. 44, for knowingly permitting prostitutes to meet together and remain in his house. On the occasion in -question, at one o'clock in the morning, about sixty women and eighty men were assembled in the defendant's house ; they were occupied in taking refreshments, and the conduct of all of them was orderly. An inspector of police who entered the house, accompanied by other con stables, believed, from what he and the other consta bles had observed in the streets, that the whole of the women were prostitutes. lie informed the person who was conducting the business that ho could }Ant out at least forty of the women as prostitutes, and that the defendant would be liable to a' penalty if he suf fered them to remain after. that notice. The defen dant again refused to act on that notice, alleging that he had no means of knowing who were prostitutes, except from their conduct in his presence, and that he had seen nothing amiss The greater part of the assembly continued in the house for more than an hour after the inspector had spoken. The first ques tion is, whether the defendant, under these circum stances, can be said knowingly to have permitted prostitutes to meet together and remain ; and if so, secondly, whether he is liable to a penalty notwith standing the meetingwas in allrespects orderly.' Upon the first head it appears to me that, after the informs tion. given by the officere of the police, whose duties necessarily make them acquainted with the faces of the streetwalkers and prostitutes of the district, the defen dant must be taken " knowingly" to have permitted prostitutes to remain ; and during their stay every minute of continuance after the notice is in point of law afresh meeting. If such information, from persons officially qualified to give it, be not esteemed suffi cient notice to charge the defendant with knowing the character of his guests, the enactment is alto gether nugatory for it is not to be assumed that any man is of such reprobate habits as to be himself per sonally acquainted with a multitude of prostitutes or persons of notoriously bad character. And it may be observed that the defendant has adduced no evi dence to show that so much as one of the women present was a person of reputation. Then, is the de fendant liable to a penalty notwithstanding the con duct of the prostitutes in his house was in all respects orderly ? I should be departing widely from the province of a magistrate if I were to express any opinion on the policy or impolicy of an Act of Par liament, or the expediency or inexpediency of carry ing its provisions into effect. My duty is confined to the exposition of the law as it is to be collected from the language used by the Legislature; and in this case it seems clear to me that the Legis lature has made the act of kno w i ng ly p erm it t i ng prostitutes to meet together, and remain in a h ouse of public resort, of itself a species of disorder, to be repressed by the infliction of a penalty. The 44th section, after reciting that it is expedient that the provisions made by law for preventing disorderly con duct in the houses of licensed victuallers should be extended to other houses of public resort, inflicts a penalty on every keeper of such house, who shall— !. Knowingly permit drunkenness therein ; 2. Know ingly suffer gaming therein ; 3. Knowingly permit prostitutes, or persons of notoriously bad character, to meet together, and remain therein —meaning, as it seems to me, that each of these acts shall be es teemed of itself a species of disorder to be discoun tenanced and repressed in the same way as other dis orderly conduct in the houses of licensed victuallers. As the defendant, acting under advice, has taken a different view of the law, and contends that the merely permitting known prostitutes to meet together and remain in his house for the purpose of refresh ment, does not subject him to a penalty, unless his guests are guilty of the disorderly conduct theLegis , lature has sought to repress in the houses of licensed victuallers, it will be sufficient on this occasion to impose only such a penalty as will enable the defend ant to appeal to a higher tribunal. The fine of 31., and ls. nominal fine, was then in flicted Notice of appeal was immediately announced. CLERKENWELL. Thomas O'Brien, a smart-looking boy, 14 rears of age, son of respectable parents, residing in Hennes street, Pentonville, was charged with having at tempted to commit suicide, by throwing himself into the New River. Airs. Harriet O'Brien, the prisoner's mother, said ,he prisoner had a comfortable home, and she could assign no cause for such a rash attempt upon his life, with the exception that on the same morning he quar relled with his brother, who boxed his ears. Mr. TYRWHITT remonstrated feelingly with the prisoner, and asked him what he could hope for when he became a man if he was guilty of such wicked conduct at so young an age. The prisoner looked down and made no reply. He was suffered to depart under the protection of his mother, who was much affected. IRELAND. SYMPTOMS OF COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY. DTJBLIN, MONDAY MORNING.—An inquiry, con ducted by Captain Washington, R.N., acting under the orders of the Lords of the Admiralty, has been held at Cork on the subject of the wet docks proposed to be erected in the port, and to bear the arguments and evidence of the promoters of the project. Major Beamish, on the part of the Harbour Commissioners, the sponsors of the Bill, established a very conclusive case in its favour, by clearly showing the vast im provement which had taken place in the shipping in terest between the years 1844 and 1849. At the former period, he said, trade—at least foreign trade —was comparatively trifling compared to what it now is, when recent legislation had opened their ports to the commerce of the world—in some particulars it had increased 100 per cent.; and, in order to fortify this assertion, Major Beamish read the following statement respecting the increase of tonnage : "During the five years beginningin August,lB44, and ending August, 1849, the foreign tonnage had increased from 53,736 to 107,539; the general tonnage from 97,150 to 113,195; colliers from 96,876 to 97,791; Irish coasters from 25,854 to 33 592, and vessels calling at Cove for orders from 125,316 to 281,691. Thus the foreign tonnage, and the tonnage of vessels calling at Cove, had increased in the' five yt ars over 100 plant." RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Fan. 11.

THE GoLnronan.—The extraordinary excitement which has prevailed in this country ever since the first discovery cf the treasures of California, appears likely to have a new impulse given to it by the publication of a work bearieg the attractive title of " Adventures of a Goldtinder, written by Himself." We understand that this is a book of travels of a perfectly original character, and that the accounts the author gives of his adven tures, particularly in the gold country, are so startling that they may almost be deemed incredible. WATER SUPPLY OF WESTMINSTER.—A public meeting of the inhabit tuts of Westminster was held yesterday at Willis'e Rooms, St. James's, convened by the High Bailiff, in consequence of a r«quisition to take into consideration the best means of securing an abun dant supply of wager at a reasonable rate. Mr. Smed ley, the High Bailiff, took the chair, and Mr. Homers ham attended on the part of the London (Watford) Spring Water Company to explain that project to the meeting. Mr. Wyld, M.P , as chairman of the Metro-' politan Parochial Water supply Association, advocated the principle of the association, and argued against add ing to the list of private companies. But an amendment moved by Mr. Wyld was rejected, and a resolution passed approving of the preposal of the Watford com pany, and a petition to Parliament in its favour was therefore adopted. We regret to hear that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer continues indisposed, and will bo unable, for some days, to attend to public business in the House of c9IIIWQII4 ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. A magnificent romantic and equestrian Spectacle, entitled Corse de Leon; or, The Brigand of Savoy, was produced here last evening, with the most triumphant success. The plot is taken from the cele brated romance by G. P. 11. James, and has been adapted to the stage, with considerable dramatic tact, by Mr. 'l'. G. Blake. Those acquainted with the novel are aware that it aff,r(ls many opportuni ties for the display of equestrian spectacle, and of these the adapter has judiciously availed himself. The performances of the excellently trained and beauti ful stud of Mr. Batty in these scenes were admirable ; the scenery was splendid, and the costumes magnificent. The last scene was one of the most gorgeous displays ever witnessed, and elicited rapturous applause from a crowded and a delighted audience. There were several incidental dances introduced in the course of the piece, in which the Terpsichorean performances cf Mr. and Mrs. llarvey were much and deservedly ap plauded. The dancing of this lady and gentleman would have done credit to the boards of a theatre in which ballet is made much more of a feature than it is at Astley'e. The scenes in the circle were of the usual high order of merit, and the gloriously success ful pantomime of Yankee Doodle concluded the even ing's entertainment. The house was crowded. ST. MARTIN'S HALL. The inauguration of this new musical edifice having been celebrated by song and supper on Friday night, the portion of the large room in which the festival was held was thrown open to the public last night, a concert being given therein by Mr. Hul lah's pupils, conducted, like the former meetings of a similar kind at Exeter Hall, by the popular master himself. The curiosity that has been awakened by the promised opening of the building had its natural in fluence, and the ball was well filled. The orchestra, which is constructed to hold a large body of per formers, was crowded with the instrumentalists and the choristers ; and the experiment that was thus made very satisfactorily proved the excellence of the room for the delivery of the higher and broader kinds of music. The programme commenced with the Lauda Sion, of Mendelssohn, which was performed by Mr. Hullah's upper classes last season, when we adverted to it at some length. It was afterwards done at the Liver pool Festival, and an interest in it has thus been in culcated which, no doubt, will by and bye lead to its frequent repetition. It was carefully detailed last night, the solos being rendered by Miss Birch, Mrs. Noble, Messrs. Benson and Whitworth. The prin cipal feature of the evening, however, was the an them, founded on the 6Bth Psalm, written by Mr. Henry Leslie, an amateur of more than ordinary pretension. This composition consists of several separate movements, solo and choral. The invention and conduct of these pieces betray for the most part an unusual degree of intelligence, as well as the in dications of a talent which may one day become con spicuous. In a case or two the outlines of the me lody and the orchestral treatment are referred by the listeners to a discernible origin, but this imputation does not extend very far. The tenor solo, " Thou, 0 God," is a charming air, framed certainly in a Mendelssohnian spirit, but purely original. An air for the soprano, "But let the righteous," and a duet for the soprano and tenor, " Give thanks, 0 Israel," are also effusions of merit." The choruses are bold and energetic, demonstrating, in Handelian form, a power of voice-writing which might be hope fully employed upon a larger theme. Our opportu nities, however, at this moment do not permit us to speak in other than hasty terms of this clever work, and until we are better provided with time and apace, a general commendation must suffice. The Anthem, which was not too well performed by Miss Stewart, Mr. Benson, and the choristers, was received with approbation. We observed many of the most distin guished members of the profession among the auditory. _ _ The second part of the concert was entirely " secu lar," consisting of a selection from Mozart's ldomeneo, songs, &c., by Purcell, Weber, Gluck, and Spohr; and one of Beethoven's violin and pianoforte sonatas, played by Ernst and Sterndale Bennett.

The sam e cause prevented the Royal Family taking their accustomed airings. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening includes her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, and Baroness de Speth. Her Majesty's private band attend after dinner in the Castle. Sir J. Emerson Tennent had au interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in D o wning-street.

Lady John Russell's party, fixed for Wednesday, 13th, is postponed until Thursday. 14th. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday, and heard an application for art extension of the term of Pettit Smith's Patent Screw Propeller. The Lords present NI ere the Matt , r of the Rolls, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, the Chancellor of the Duchy ` of Cornwall ,and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. " What do you mean by that?" " Why, that you are calculating to make all your children gentlemen and ladies." "May I ask you what you mean by making them gentlemen and ladies?" "It is plain enough what I mean—lawyers, doctors, and ministers, and wives for such gentlefolks." "I shad be governed by circumstances; I do not in tend, nor wish, Anthon, to crowd my boys into the learned professions. If any among them have a parti cular talent or taste for them, they may follow them. They must decide for themselves in a matter more im portant to them than to any one else. But my boys know that I should be mortified if they selected these pr( f 'salons, from the vulgar notion that they were more genteel —a vulgar word that, that ought to be banished from an American's vocabulary—more genteel than agriculture and the mechanic arts. I have laboured to convince any boys, that there is nothing vulgar in the mechanic professions —no particular reason for envying the lawyer or the doctor. They, as much as the farmer and the mechanic, are working men. And I should like to know what there is particularly elevating in sitting over a table and writing prescribed forms, or in inquir ing into the particulars of diseases, and doling cut physic for them. It is certainly a false notion in a de mocratic republic, that a lawyer has any higher claim to respectability—gentility, if you please —than a tar- Der, a goldsmith, a printer, or a builder. It is the fault of the mechanic, if he tskes a place not assigned to him by the government and institutions of his country. He is of the lower orders only when he is silf-degraded by the ignorance and coarse manner:, which are associated with manual labour in couutrifs where society is di vided into castes, and have therefore come to be con ,idered inseparable flan Rely upon it, it is not so. The old barriers are doan. The time is come when being mechanical' we may appe,..r on • labouring days' as well as holidays, without the. sign of our profession.' Talent and worth are the only eternal grounds of dis tinction. To these the Almighty has affixed his ever lasting patent of nobility, and these it is which make the bright, the immortal names,' to which our children may aspire, as well as others. It will be our own fault, Anthon, if, in our hind, society as well as government is not organized upon a new foundation. But we must secure, by our own efforts, the elevations that are now accessible to all. There is ne thing that tends more to the separation into classes than difference of manners. This is a badge that all can see. I cannot blame a geli d( man for not asking a clown to his table, who will spit over his carpet, and mortify himself and annoy every body else with his awkwardness." Many other passages we might extract in evidence of the interesting character of this most charming " Home." We will, however, leave its interest un• diminished. Every one wbo has a sixpence to spare can hardly do better than invest it in the purchase of a book, which, amusing as it is, and trifling as it may appear, is likely to produce much and lasting happi ness—exhibiting as it does in the pleasing form of a pleasing example the powerful good that may be effected by the right influence of Home. A few words more we are tempted to quote—a tribute to the mother and mistress of the home : Ah, Harry it is not tt e superior capacity that ac complishes most, but seting out with a firm purpose to attain a certain object. Your mother, Alice, began life with a &germination to make a happy hou.e. As she is not present, I may say cif her what she would not permit me to say if she were here." „ . " 0 let me speak of her, sir," interrupted Harry Norton. " Let me sreik of her," said the modest Emily. " 0, I greis w•e all lovet o speak of mother, if speak ing means piaising," cried little Effie. Grandmama's tremulous voice hushed all others. " Her children arise up and call her bleved,' " she said; " her husband also, and he praiseth her.' " " Yes, ma'am," said Harry ; " that and every other verse in Scripture that describes a virtuous woman might be applied to her: and those who have not the natural rights of children might rise up too and call her blessed, —those on whom she has bestowed a mother's care and tenderness. And what, that woman should do, has. she left undone? How faithfully she has performed all the duties of her lot ; how generously undertaken those that were not impose' on her. What sense she has manifested, what beautiful order and neatnees in her domestic economy. and in a higher moral economy, how she excels all others. how she sees and foresees, and proviees against all wants, avoids irritations and jealousies, economizes happiness, saving those little odds and ends that others waste. How she employs the faculties of all, brings the virtue of each into operation, and if she cannot cure, shelters faults. She shows each in the best light, and is herself the light that shines on all—the sun of bar home." " Do not flatter, Harry," said Mr. Barclay, in a voice, however, which proved that he felt this was no flattery. 0, Mr. Barclay," said Emily, " we must sometimes speak out our hearty, or they would burst?" " It is testimony, not flattery," added Harry. NEW MUSIC THE ORIENTALNUADRILLES. A very pretty set of quadrilles, bearing this " Eastern" title, has just been published. They are composed by bliss Ellen L. Glascock, daughter of the late Captain Glascock, R.N., and are lively and " fast," just calculated to suit the taste of this age of telegraphs and dancing. We venture to predict that the " Orientals" will be favourites during the ensuing season. LET'S HOPE FOR BRIGHTER DAYS. Written, composed, and dedicated to Arthur Fletcher, Esq.

He reiterated the satisfaction felt by the Chamber at the working of the great principles of flee trade, aLd at the prospect of the whole of our fiscal policy being placed on a free and unshackled basia.
