vicars-apostolic, thereby making the nation more inde cadent of Rome. The Right Honourable Gentleman did aot a lways hold these sentiments; for on referring to a Wiltshire paper, he (Sir G. Grey) found an account of a meeting held on the 6th of December last at which the Right Hon. Gentleman had proposed a motion which was seconded by the Dean of Salisbury, and its tenor was of a very different nature from the sentiments recently professed by the Right Hon, Gentleman. The Right Hon. Baronet here proceeded to read the resolution to which he referred, and whish commenced by saying that that meeting viewed with indign at i o n the attempt made by the Court of Ro me, and considered the assumption by a foreign potentate to im pose a Roman Catholic hierarchy upon this country was an unwarrantable assumption of the Royal prerogative, and a gross insult to the nation. — ( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Such was the resolution proposed by the Right Hon. Gentle =sn.—(llear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman cheered him (Sir G. Grey) as if he still entertained the same opinions. He could only say, if the Right Hon. Gentleman did so, he had very imperfectly expressed them in that House.—(Hear, and laughter.) In pursuance of the reso lutions passed at that meeting, an address to the Queen had been also moved, with a portion only of which he would trespass on the House. Mr. S. HERBERT—If the Right Hon. Baronet will allow me I will save him some trouble. I distinctly refused to sign the address because I did not concur with it.—(Hear.) Sir G. GREY said the part which he was about reading agreed wonderfully with the resolution to which he had al ready alluded. (Hear and laughter.) It had been moved by Mr. Sotheron that a petition should be presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons, and that petition had been equally condemnatory of the assumption of the Pope. Now, if the Right Hon. Gentleman dissented from those docu ments there was no record of his dissent in the report of the proceedings before him. — (Hear , hear.) Therefore he (Sir G. Grey) did not think the Right Hon. Gentleman was the safest possible guide in that matter.— (Hear and laughter.) He came then to the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon (Sir James Graham) who had spoken of the act and the l an guage of the Pope as arrogant- and assuming in the ex treme, and had sa , d that it was such a matter as the Go vernment could not pass over unnoticed. Bat though the Right Hon. Baronet had expatiated at great length upon the subject, he had never told them the course which he, occupy ing the distinguished position which he did, would advise the House to pursue.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Abingdon, indeed, recommended the revival of the old statutes of prceraunire ; but that was a proceeding which the law officers of the Government did not feel disposed to re commend or to adopt, although they believed the introduc tion of that Papal brief was a violation of the statute law of the land. The Hon. Gentleman who last addressed the House bad recommended diplomatic agency, with a distinct intima tion that war was not to be the result ; but even if they had a diplomatic agent at Rome, all he could do would be to re commend the withdrawal of the brief a matter which the I Roman Catholic Members had told them was impossible.' The Hon. Member for Plymouth, in the course of his speech, passed by several essential differences which he ought to recollect. The organization of which he spoke did not pro ceed from a foreign Power. But yet, on that occasion it did proceed from a foreign Power, and that, toe, without any eommunication with, or the approval of, the sovereign of the realm. It had been characterised by a mix ture of a temporal and spiritual jurisdiction. An other • point was the claim of universal dominion which distinguised the Papal authority from that of all other bodies of religionists. He would ask any man who read the documents, whether there was not a claim to exercise a temporal and a civil jurisdiction as well as a spiritual one?—(Hear.) It was impossible to reject that consideration. It was because that was the act of a foreign power, parcelling out this country into certain divisions, without , the authority or consent of the Sovereign—it was that which had roused the spirit of the people of this coun try, and which induced them, like our ancestors, to take mea sures to guard the independence of this nation against the aggression of any foreign power. In no country in Europe did the interference of the Pope take place without being in accordance with the State, or in virtue of some direct municipal law authorising such interference. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford (Mr. Gladstone) bad cited various periods of history in which vicars-apostolic had been requested to be changed, but such had never taken place without the sanction and interference of the British Government. That project had been entertained for a long time, but it had never been agreed to without the imposition of such conditions as would prevent the encroachments or assumptions of the see of Rome. The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon had said that on a former occasion Sir J. Ilipoesley, being in communication with the Government and Roman Catholics in this country, had applied to the Pope to substitute bishops for vicars-apostolic, which had been refused at the time. The facts of the case were incorrectiy stated, unintentionally, he had no doubt, by the Right Hon. Bennet. But even had it been as described, that would have been no precedent for what had been done. In the records of the year 1812 he could find no trace of the matter referred to. But he belieVed he had found upon what the Right Hon. Baronet's statement had been based. In a speech which Sir J. Hip pesley made in 1812 upon a motion of Mr. Grattan's for a Committee of the whole House on the Catholic claims, he had entered into a detail of a communication which he had had some years before with Rome ; but in those negotiations there had been strict conditions attached ; and they had been carried on on the principle of perfect do mestic security from all foreign encroachment. Sir J. Hip pesley had always pointed to a veto as indispensable in any areangemeu s which might be made. But were they now to ba told that the Pope was justified in adopting only that part of the proposition which might suit his own view, without any reference to the conditions which had been originally attached to it.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the position of the Roman Catholic Church, it should ;ever be forgotten that that Church, unlike the Wesleyan Conference and the various Dissenting bodies in this country, claimed dominion over every baptised person. It was nothing to say that that was an empty claim. The time enight come when, under favourable circnmstances with the Church of Rome, unchanging and unchangeable, they might yet see a Marian persecuticn. In pressing forward that measure they were acting in strict conformity with the Act of 1829, which extended full religious equality to our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, while it did not leave them exempt from all restraint in their connexion with the see of Rome. lle was sure that the distinguished "nen who had mainly contributed to the attainment of Roman Catholic emancipation, had never thought of debarring themselves from the light of asserting the independ ence of this nation against the encroachments of Papal power, as it had been asserted in every period of our history.—(Hear. hear.) lie said that that was a Bill opposed to the principle of religions freedom, and one tending to coerce Roman Catholic... It had been said that the Go vernment wculd be bound to vote against the first clause of that Bill, because in Ireland the adoption of the first clause would have the same effect as if the two other clauses had been retained in the measure. Now, he said that that was a statement unsupported by proof, and in any case he believed that the Roman Catholics in Ireland had very little season to feel thankful to the Hon. and Learned Member for Athlone ( Mr. Keogh) for the ingenuity he had displayed in attempt ing to show that they were fettered by a clause in the Eman cipation Act in a manner which had not been previously ima gined.. It had been frequently said in the course of these debates that that was a quarrel originating in the jealousy entertained by the prelates of the Established Church towards the newly-created Catholic hierarchy. But the petitions to that House, and the addresses to the Crown, which had been presented from laymen in every part of the country, clearly showed that the feeling which existed upon the subject was one of a national character, and that both Churchmen and Dissenters had felt that aggression, not in their merely reli gious capacities, but as Englishmen, animated by the same spirit which had induced their forefathers to impose barriers against the encroachments of the see of Rome.- (Hear, hear, and cries for a division.) The Right Hon. Gentleman op posite (Mr. Gladstone) had taunted his Noble Friend at the head of the Government with having deserted upon that oc casion - the liberal sentiments he had enunciated on the hust ings of the city of London. But let him tell the Right lion. Gentleman that the citizens cf London had, in their 'ad dress to the Throne, clearly expressed their views upon that ptestion, and that while avowing their uncompromising ad herence to the principles of civil and religious liberty, they had asked,in the name of that very liberty that some measure should• be adopted for the purpose of putting a restraint on the exercise of a foreign authority in these realms.—(He- r, hear, and cries for a division.) In conclusion he should say that these territorial titles, which were said to be but empty names, were the badges and symbols of a jurisdiction claimed to be exercised by the sole and undivided authority of the 'Court of Rome. What her Majesty's Government asked them to do was to place the brand of illegality on'those badges and symbols. They might reject that Bill in accord ance With the recommendation and the hopes of his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Ripon and of those who acted with him, without any alternative measure having been offered to them. They might encourage the Court of Rome to fresh acts of aggression, and lead to the belief, as asserted by Cardinal Wiseman and others, that the feeling of the country upon thc, subject was only a temporary and popular effervescence. They might create what he felt convinced would be a false impression—that the Commons of England were indifferent to the honour of the Crown and the inde pendence of the nation. But in pursuing that course they might excite throughout the country that great religious war which the Hon. Member for Liverpool seemed so eager to rush into, but which he (Sir G. Grey) for one most ear nestly deprecated. They might reject that measure, and by that means contributed to the introduction of a new Bill, with far more stringent provisions ; but he sincerely trusted that they would, on the contrary, maintain on that occasion the character handed down to them by their ancestors, and manifest a legitimate jealousy of foreign interference in the affairs , this country. He believed that by passing that Bill by "tire and decisive majority, they would best consult the honour of the So v ereign, the independence of the country, and t h e sacral cause of civil and religious liberty.— (Cheers, and cries for a division, mingled with calls for Mr. Hatchell, f o llowed by same laughter.) The Earl of AIMNDEL and SURREY here rose, but was informed by The SPEAKER that he had not then a right to address the House, as he Lad already s p o k en i n mov i ng the amend ment. Mr. S. HERBERT said he wi s h ed to say a few words upon a matter which rela ted to himself personally, and which had been referred to by th e RightThu_,n.. for the Home Department. eRi Baronet the Secretary ght Hon. Baronet had read two documents for which he had held him (Mr. S. heard of the other Herbert) responsible. No w he had objected to the first of these documents, and he h ad never ellen until it bad been read by th e Right ononrable Baronet, it I having, as he supposed, been adopted after he had left the meeting. What he had done wa s to have moved t he reso lution which the Right Hon. F aro net had read— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He stood by that resolution; but he had also endeavoured to point out to the meeting, as he had endeavoured to point out to the House, that a spiritual aggression ought to be met by spiritual means, and not by Acts of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. P. HOWARD rose; amidst loud groans, awl cries for a division, which for some time rendered him unable to ad dress the House. He said that he did not mean to reply at that moment at any length to the observations of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secre ary for the Home L.,epartinent. But he should at once protest most irelignentl v against the imputation that the Catholics of England aed the sister country claimed by the institution of a hierarchy any tem poral authority. Aid still more in'ignantiv should he pro test against the statement of the Right lion. Baronet, that be was about to place a brand upo one-third of the inhabi tants of the Britis h em p ire.— (Hear, hear, and cries for a division.) With that notice of what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet, he should for the moment be satisfind. On the motion for going into Committee on the Bill he should probably take the liberty of expressing at len g th his opinions upon the whole question.—(a enewed cries for a division.) Sir G. GREY said that his Hon. Friend had misunder stood him. He had not said anything about branding one third of his fellow-subjects. But he had said that those titles were the badges and symbols of ajuribdiction claimed S 9 b 9 exercised by virtue of the sole snd_undivided authority THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY E V _... of the see of Rome; and he had asked the House to place cause he believed the Roman Catholic religion to be so THE SHARE MARKETS.

CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA. —The ceremony of the consecration of Dr. Binne7, of Wor cester Col age, Oxford, to the bishopric of Nova Scotia and its dependencies, was performed yesterday morning in the chapel of Lambeth Palace. The service was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Chi chester, and Oxford; the Rev. Dr. Binney eather of the new bishop), the Rev. Dr. Gouldburn, and the Rw. Mr. Thomas, chaplain to the Archbishop. The whole of it was conducted in the most simple manner, no chanting or singing, but every part read—very di ff erent from the "histrionic" manner, as it has been called, of performing the services of the Church in other places. The chapel was pretty well filled with visitors, among whom were many clergymen. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT MANCHESTER.- About three o'clock yesterday afternoon a boiler burst in Riga-street, Manchester, which has caused, there is reason to fear, a serious loan of life. The building was a factory, rented by Mr. W. C. Williamson from Mr. Hardman, who sublet it, with steam power supplied by a 30-horse boiler, working a 25. horse power steam-engine. The building was applied to various purposes, and about 50 persons were em ployed in the whole by the several tenants. As we have stated, the explosion took place about three o'clock, and at the time our parcel left the whole neighbourhood was a scene of the utmost alarm and confusion, and it was impos sible to obtain in time any very clear or connected account of the accident. One man had been taken out dead, and the persons employed in searching the ruins had just dis covered a second man frightfully mutilated. Four persona had been conveyed to the Infirmary badly wounded, and two of them, it was feared, could scarcely survive the in juries they had sustained. At the time this report left it was not accurately known how many people were among the ruins. The engineer escaped and was seen to creep through a window of the lower story soon after the explo sion. The boiler was upon the high pressure principle, and at the time it burst the engine had been stopped t. repair a strap.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1851. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 3,000 bales, all to the trade, comprising 2,400 Ame rican, %00 Egyptian, at 7 1 , 2 d. to 9 1 ,0., and 300 Surat, at 4 1 4 d. to 5 x z cl. per lb. The, market was steady, and prices lid. higher than on Friday last. —Railway shares were flat. The letters by the Avon steamer from the West Indies were delivered yesterday afternoon. The question of meeting the liabilities of the colony had been much discussed in the Legislature, and there was obviously an imperative necessity for taxation. A local journalist remarks:— " It seems to us quite certain that there is no way of avoid ing increased taxation if the affairs of the island are to be put into a satisfactory condition, and the only question is as to the kind of taxation which ought to be resorted to. There would appear, nevertheless, to be a disposition in some members to reduce rather than to increase the revenue of the island. Thus, for example, a notice has been given for instruction to the Committee on the Rum Bill to fix the duty on that article at Is. 6d. per gallon instead of 2s. as at present. The latter duty was imposed in consequence of the deficiency in the revenue. In the report which has been submitted to the House by the committee, of which Mr. Smith was chairman, it is recommended not only that any augmentation of past evils by any future annual expenditure being pe - mated to be in excess of revenue should be guarded against, but that some immediate and comprehensive means of putting the ascertained liabilities of the i2land on a satisfactory footing should be devised with a view to the gradual and ultimate liquidation of the entire debt. In order to this, a sinking fund of 10,2751. per annum has been declared necessary, and this fund, notwi standing that the principal was recognised in the Loan Act, it is now thought by some members might be dispensed with. The committee also assumed that if the arrears of in terest are paid up, and satisfactory provision made for this charge in future, her Majesty's Government will not object to the amount due to them being included in the general ar rangement." A schooner was running between New Grenada and King ston, and it was hoped would be sufficiently supported to keep up a regular communication with the Spanish Main. On the whole, the weather in the colonies was favourable. Accounts from Havannah state that not more than two thirds of the sugar estates pay enough, beyond the hire of the negroes employed, to yield more than interest on the other capital invested, and the taxation upon imports and exports deprived the planter of the advantages which he otherwise would enjoy. It is stated that of late the Government have increased the tax on the sugar exported, without any diminution of duties on the imports received in exchange. The export duty on sugar wrs formerly 37i cents. per box—the new imposition is of an additional 50 cents. This new duty has been farmed out for 750,000 dolls. per annum, by the Government. The official returns for 1850 will show about 1,200 000 boxes exported. At the rate imposed, this new duty would yield the Govern ment about 600,000 dolls. The contractor who pays 750,000 dolls. for the privilege of collecting it well knows that the actual amount exported will be nearer 2,500,010 boxes than 1,200,000. The contractor and the exporters have, it will readily be seen, a joint interest in defrauding the Government. ho, it is not considered as a fraud here, inasmuch as the Government has openly made its bargain, relinquishing the chances of getting even less than it has re ceiveu from him, knowing well that its heavy impositions of duties make it the interest of all parties to cheat Govern ment when it attempts to collect those impositions itself. " The contractor wishes the amount returned officially as exported, to be less than it actually is, in order that Govern ment and others may not know his profits by the contract. The exporter wishes to be relieved from a portion of his burden of duties to pay. For an exportation of 3,000 boxes he will perhaps enter 2,000. For the 1,000 he com promises with the contractor, by paying half rates. The Customs official is perhaps silenced by a douceur, which is clear profit to him. "So is it with importations; a portion is entered, say one-half. The officer is verbally informed of the pre sence of the remaining portion of the merchandise. This, of course, is open to arrangement. That arrangement has become a settled matter. Of the duty on that portion one-third is withheld by the consignee, one-third is paid over by him to the Customs officer, and one-third is retained by the Custom-house broker, through whose hands all this business of entering goods is done, as it is, to a great extent, in New York. "It is no uncommon thing to see these Custcm-house in spectors and Custom-house brokers, living in a style involving an expenditure of 5,000 er 6,000 dollars a year, while inspec tor's salaries are less than one thousand, and the brokers' regular commissions certainly not much more." In the Amsterdam Market, on the 24th instant, Dutch Stock was more in request at 57a for Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. Spanish Five per Cents. are higher. Mexi- can Bonds are firm: There has been an exceedingly dull market for Public Securities, and the wet weather, combined with the slow progress of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, has restricted business even more than must under any circum stances have been the case, while the transfer books are shut. Consols have realized 96i to 96i for Money, and 96% for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 51s. to 545. premium. The market now is a little flatter, upon a report that bad news has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, but the date is old, we believe. The Foreign Market has been quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. are 21% to 21%, and the Three per Cents. 38%. Mexican Bonds have realized 33% to 33%. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 58%. Railway Shares have not moved to any extent this morn ing. Arrangements are being made for carrying over, as to morrow is settling day, and prices are generally flatter, the French lines suffering most.

On going down stairs to the wine-cellar he found that lnineteen bottles of sherry wine had been stolen. The wine was stacked close to the boards which had been lifted up. He then gave information to the police, who apprehended tw o men, wbo were remanded; and the prisoner was yesterday taken. The prisoner having nothing to say in defence, The MAGISTRATE remanded the case until Thursday next. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The English playgoing public had last night for t h e first time an opportunity of judging what the haute comedic of the French stage reall is. The chef d'oeuvre of Moliere, the immortal Tartuffe, w as represented for the first time in . i r entirety before an English audience daguerrotrped rantnt than translated, by Mr. John Oxenford, who has his version all the freshness and freedom of an original,v_edefitv. preserving at the same time the most scrupulous d while There is not a line, a thought, or a sentiment introdticeaa which is not to be found in the original, neither is a line o , ne thought, a sentiment of the original omi tted, cave instance, in which twe lines from the par t of Dorine have on bsen most judiciously omitted, as th eir introduct. might have been dangerous. The plot of the Itypearrre is taken from that of Tartuffe ; but the tr eatment is essen tially different. We have not in the Tartuffe any ter analogous to the farcical Mawworm, whilst i tb Hypocrite the character of Dorine, that model of sou there is entirely omitted; jsesides, there is an of coarseness pervading the whole play of the Hypocrite, chnarap-e which contrasts most unfavourably with the refinement and elegance of the chef d'oluvre of Moliere. The corned,' IT! performed precisely as it would have been performed at t"' Theatre Francais, the whole action took place i tgie n elegantly furnished room, and the drop Beene n ever fell ; a few bars of music alone marking the cast vision of the acts. The following was the Orn, Mr. Lambert ; namis, Mr. Davenport; Valere, bir• Howe; Cleante, Mr. Rogers; Tartuffe, ]Sir. B. W e bster; M. Loyal. Mr. Charles Selby ; Officer, Mr. Braid ; Mader Pernelle, Mrs. Stanley; Elmire, Miss Reyno ds ; Marlene, kbal L. Adddison ; Dorine, Mrs. Fit zwilliam ; Flipet e, Miss Would Every character was admirably sus t a ined, but th e g rea . hits of the evening were the Tartuffe of Mr. We bster a i the Dorine of Mrs. Fitawilliam. Mr. Webste r has forme himself upon the best French models, and he s Tartuffe was as perfect a reprodu ction Of r. ... t " ' best acting of the French stage as the vers ion of ea Oxenford is of the best of French comedies. Indeed, we doubt whether, since the death of Ferlet, and the all but re tirement of Samson, there is any comedian on the stage who could render the oily, insidious, but self-comtnaa°, inks and not ill-bred Tartuffe, so well as it was by Mr. Webster last evening. The Dorine of Mrs. Fi t ham is, to our thinking, the best of her characters. Hit her s she has been great in melodrama or farce; her Dorine prove that she can be equally great in legitimate comedy. Nothing The bits could exceed the piquant smartness of her acting. at the hypocrisy of the Jesuit Tartuffe wars all takan U P bY the audience and applauded to the echo, and at the conelusion redere.!t the comedy was announced for repetition by Mr. Webster amidst enthusiastic applause. (From the Times.) A very novel experiment was last night made at thi s s house—the production of an English version of Moliere' Tartu f fe, not lowered into the condition of the IstyPecrit4 but closely following the original, blank verse being sub stituted for the French Alexandrine. So literal is the ren dering that, with the exception of a short speech m ade to heighten the " exit" of Darnis in the third act, we do not believe there is a single line not to be found in Moliere. The manager, in putting the piece on the stage , __ has g OO6 id to work in the right way—transferring to the aymarzet boards the usages of the Theatre Francais. The drop scene did not descend between the acts, but a few bar s of music alone indicated the division ; the one room in which the whole action takes place is fitted up with characteristic ele gance, an imitation of an oak door being one of the leading features, and the costumes were of the most recherche kind. We have had " Nights wi' Burns." This was really an giving with Moliere. (From the Herald.). e Tartuffe was brought out at this theatre last nights in• recisely the same shape as it was written by Moliere. The production is professedly a translation, which task has been undertaken by Mr. John Oxenford, who, while adhering with scrupulous fidelity to the self-imposed rule of literalness, has not lost sight of elegance. As a lite rary exercise irrespective of any histrionic object, this version of the ch(l d'oeuvre of the great French tradvitist is entitled to no ordinary praise. The motive whit a Moliere had in composing this admirable comedy is well knots n through the medium of Bicker , staffe's .11ypocsite, which, although immediately borrowed from Cibber's Non Jurcir, owes its real origin to the Tartie. There is in reality very little difference between Moliere's play and the Hypocrite of our stage. The former is more elevated in its tune, and simply belongs to a better rank of composition, the English comedy wearing certain lineaments of vulgarity assuredly not obtained from the original piece. The Tartuffe attacked the affected piety of the reign o f Louis the Fourteenth with a politer air than that which suffuses its well-known English offspring. The polished ease whish prevails throughout n liere's comedy is, hew ever, well demonstrated in the unaltered version performed last night, in which its precise sentiment is closely and vividly reflected. The acting was excellent in most cases. Mr. Webster personated the Tartuffe with great ability, his fawning obsequiousness of deportment and pretended pa tience under obloquy presenting a consistent portrait of the insidious villain who exercises a fatal influence over the credulous Orgon by his pharasaical arts. He produced a graphic and powerful effect in the - closing scenle, when the knave, unmasked by the device of mire, throws throws off all disguise and lays bare his natural depravity and ingratitude of heart. Orgen• the Sir John Lambert of the Hypocrite, was MS.. tained by Mr. Lambert, and Dorine, the shrewd and sprightly setvant of Mariane, a cha r acter whose import ance hardly merited the entire obli•eration which it expe rienced both in Cibber and Bickerstaffe's play, was performed with invaluable point and smartness by Mrs. Fitzwilliam. The sensible and dispassionate Cleante, Damis, and the timid and obedient Mariane (converted in the Hypocrite into a lively coquette, and forming grea t part of Mrs. Woffington and Mrs. Abingdon), were severally the impetuous sustained by Mr. Rogers, Mr. Davenport, and Miss Laura Addison ; and Mi , s Reynolds was the representative of Elmire. The audience s howed no signs of impatience during the sententious speeches of Orgon's brother-in-law. but applauded the strokes of worldly wisdom which they heard, as well as those enunciated by . o hers, with a quick perception of their worth. The collision of the hypocrite with Orgon in the fourth act, a capital dramatic surprise, produced the strongest possible sensation, and the applause wa s long and general. Th e action, we may add, takes place in an elaborate Louis Quatorse apartment, with which the costumes of the dramatis personce carefully coincide; and the French rule of not dropping the curtain between the acts is was complete; and Mr. o w hs e e b r s v t e e d r . a n T o h o e u s o u c c e c d e It s o f o f r t h r e e p c e o t i m t i e o d n y , (From the Daily lyea w n: s id o acclamations from all parts of the house. MR. BATTY'S HIPPODROME, KENSINGTON We paid a visit this morning to this establishment, now in the course of erection, and were astonished to see the rapidity with which the various works are progressing, which, taking into consideration the short time since it was begun, and the continual wet weather, appears hardly possible for so much to have been done under such disadvantages. While there we had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Barr, who has of late been exhi biting the sport of hawking in various provincial towns, and with whom, we are given to understand, Mr. Batty has made an engagement, in:order to give due effect in reviving the an cient sports of our ancestors, which were so popular at the old baronial halls of England in the last century. Mr. Barr had half-a-dozen trained hawks with him, all "hooded and belled," and during our stay let fly one in pursuit of a pigeon. The power Mr. Barr exercises over his birds, by arresting their flight and recalling them to him, shows a skill in the art of falconry which can only have been at tained by a large amount of perseverance on his part. This attraction, with the assistance of Mr. Batty's unequalled stud, and the company dressed in characteristic costume, will enable him to portray to his visitors those ancient Eng lish sports so frequently described by Sir Walter Scott and other novelists, and which, with the Games of the Curricu lum and other Olympic exploits, cannot fail to make this the most popular place of resort to the pleasure seekers of London during the forthcoming most extraordinary season. RESIGNATION OF LORD LANGDALE. In the Rolls' Court yesterday, after the hearing of some unopposed petitions, Mr. TURNER rose, and addressing Lord Langdale, said—ln consequence of his Lordship's intended resignation he was de sired publicly to express to his Lordship the anxious hopes of the bar that many years might be spared to him of happi ness in the bosom of his family. The bar and the whole profession were deeply indebted to his Lordship for the exertions he had made to simplify the proce-s and practice of the court, and to lessen delay. He (Mr. Turner) ab stained from entering into particulars, but those exertions had already led to many beneficial consequences, and would lead to more. Lord LANGDALE said, he confessed be was overpowered and deeply felt the kind expressions that had been made use of. If he could flatter himself that he merited what was so kindly attributed to him, it would be his highest reward, but that might not be. He was sensible of shortcomi. gs. At a cooler moment a more rigid scrutiny would be made of his judicial character. The r.ports would show what he had done and what he had not done, and at the same time would show how greatly he had been assisted by the learning, the industry, and the integrity of the bar. Little did people who only looked upon the surface know . how very little could be done by a judge without the honest co-operation of those most useful assistants, a learned and honourable bar. He had to express his gratitude for the greatest assistance from a bar of that character, and he retired with the strongest feeling of gratitude and respect. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Moßre's Turtitif - e, not an Eiiglish play, like the .Hypo crite, founded on the Tartuffe, but the Tartuffe itself, was brought on the stage of this theatre last evening. Ever) ? scene, every phrase, is almost literally translated; all the characters preserve their original names; and the perform ance is a close imitation of the style of the Theatre Francais. The scene never changes, and the drop-curtain does not descend between the acts, the divisions being marked mere'y by a very brief interval of time filled up by action. The success of this novel experiment has exceeded our expectation, for we confess we thought it a very doubtful one. Moliere's comedy, admirable as it is, contains, like all the French productions of the regular classical sch ool► more speech and less action than is generally agreeable ncl an English audience. It has, moreover, lost its P_ttr: of application as a satire, and is to us merely • a Pic' e u ityit obsolete manners in a foreign country. In its o n c ) Tal evils was a crushing exposure of one of the greatest oc e r sy i and of the day, the ascendancy of religious cant, which had risen to such the Fourteenth, with all his power, its influence. The piece was extremely well roteive wasa b e e h i ge unable Y 0 thattewithstand Lo.udis. Some passages were applied by the audience to passtiong oc currences. Orgon's deed of gift of his whole estate to not Tar tuffe, and the hypocrite's declaration that he accepted from interested motives, but for the glory of God andTthhee good of his neighbour, drew forth marked applause. _• curtain fell amid loud demonstration s of favour; andeveral M _ Webster announced that the piece wou ld be repeated s times a week.
