late. Isis ) we should imagine, quite impossible that such momentous facts set forth on such authority should fail, in producing an impression on the Government, and leading to a change of system--a change which justice and interest com bine iriesistibly to demand. Morning Post. It is with great sati s faction that we publish to-day the account of the Itevenue for the quar ter • ending yesterday (sth of April). Its amount exceeds the anticipations of the most sanguine friend of Government,' and furnishes a most gratifying refutation of the sinister predic tions of its enemies. On every branch of our national income we find an increase, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, ex cept on the Customs, and the deficiency in the latter is more than counterbalanced by the ex cess of the former. The Excise, the trite test of consumption and of the growing comforts . among the poorer classes, has increased 271,6131. the assessed taxes 124,0701., and the stamps 66,7851., which large items, together . with a small improvement on our Post-office and mis cellaneous revenue, amount to 475,8681., or nearly half a million. Against this excess we have to place a falling off in the Customs to the amount of 2.52,5081., which, deducted from the above sum, leaves an improvement on the general income of the quarter of 223,3601. On the whole year, there is a great deficiency—a fact with which we were made rather alarmingly acquainted at the publication of the statement for the quar ter ending the sth of January ; but it is most :satisfactory to observe, that our resources are now again improving, and that the decay which had been going on for a twelvemonth has been arrested it' not compensated. The decrease on the whole year is 3,059,4731., nearly a quarter of a million less than it was at the commence ment of 1832. The falling off in the Customs, as contradistinguished from the improving state of the other branches of our revenue, need ex cite no surprise, when we recollect the interrup tion to which trade has been exposed from the appearance of cholera in London, and the con sequent establishment of quarantine against our commercial intercourse with our neighbours and customers. Let us hope , that such foreign in terruption will soon case, and that by the passing of the Reform Bill our internal trade will be immediately freed from that spell of uncertainty and distrust by which its operations are now pa ralysed or impeded. We may then anticipate a new spring to industry, and a new indica tion of the undiminished vigour of our national resourcs, by an increased receipt into the national treasury. To those very few persons who are ignorant or stupid enough to believe in the state ments, or to rely on the prophecies, of a raffish evening paper, the facts which we have above an nounced, and the hopes which we have held out, must come with all the force of surpriSe. Such weak brothers were told, and perhaps have been ever since alarmed at the intelligence, that the deficiency on the quarter could not fall short of half a million, though attempts were making to represent it as under that sum, and that the Cus toms had not only fallen off, but « that the Ex cise and every other branch of public revenue, had suffered." We need scarcely say how these predictions have been falsified within a few hours, or how much the whole has had the appearance of a hoax. Instead of a deficiency of half a million, we have an increase of a quarter of a million ; and instead of a decreased Ex cise revenue, that branch of the public income exceeds that of the corresponding quarter of last year by a sum of more than 270,000/.—Times. WARWICK ASSIZES, APRIL 4. Mr. Justice J. PARKE went into Court this morn ing at eight o'clock, and having disposed of the one or two cases that had remained untried, his Lord ship ordered those prisoners on whom sentence had not yet been pronounced to be called up for judg ment. Amongst these were Henry Parker, aged 19, and Robert Tivigger, aged '2O, convicted on Saturday last of shooting at Simeon Clay, Colonel Newdi• gate's gamekeeper, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. His LORDSHIP pronounced sentence of death upon Picker, his being the..hand that had fired the shot which had so nearly proved fatal to the keep. r. Sentence of death was recorded against Twigger, with an intimation from the Learned Judge that he must riot expect his punishmeut to be commuted on any other condition than that of his being trans ported for life. John Ealy, aged 22, Henry Ashley, aged 22, Jo. seph Squelch, agid 22, and Thomas Squelch, aged 26, who had been tried with Parker and Twigger, and acquitted of the capital offence, but subse quently convicted of being in the prosecutor's wood on the night in question, armed with guns for the destruction of gmn:, were severally 'ordered to be transported fur the term of seven years. Several her prisoners convicted of poaching were sentenced to dif f erent measures of punishment, some to transportation for seven years, and acme to imprisonment for periods varying from six to twelve months, according to whet her or not they had ev need any disposition to use violence towards the keepers. The business of the Assizes, I►hich were unusually protracted, having thus terminated, Mr. Jnstice Parke soon aftr-twards left the town on his return to London. Mr. Baron Bayley took his departure from here yesterday, his Lordship having, in the early part of the day, assisted in trying prisoners. GLOUCESTER ASSIZES, APRIL 4. Maria Watts, aged 35, and Ann Alders, rather a pretty girl, was charged with robbing James Pritch ard, by force and violence. Jarnes Pritchard, an old man, with a very extra ordinary countenance, stated that the prisoner Watts sent for him on the 13th of March. He went to her house to clean knives : he sat down for the pur pose near the house door. The other prisoner and Ann Batten were also there : they took a wet cloth, threw it in his face, and blinded him : he could not see the person who did it : they pulled him down and sat upon the top of him, and then cut a hole through his trousers, and cut away his pocket, which contained 10s. Id. : this occurred about eleven o'clock in the morning. When he succeeded in getting the cloth from over his eyes, he saw the two prisoners; and Ann Batten : they were still in the house. He did not ask them for his money, but went away directly. They cut his finger in cutting his pocket.- He tried to prevent them robbing him. He afterwards said to them, " What shall I do, my pocket is cut off, and my money is Ann Alders said she would sew tip his pocket, and she did so. He a-ked them for his money. Prisoners said they had it not, and be must go along. He never got any part of his money since... Cross-examined—The prisoner, Maria Watts gave him some bread and cheei.e. Ann 'Batten stated that she was at the prisoner's (Maria Watts's) house, and the - pritiecato r was there cleaning knives; The prosecutor sat in a chair; the prisoner, Ann Alders, went behind him, blinded him with a wet cloth, he was thrown down, and Maria Watts cur out his pocket ; she put his pocket into the coal-hole; she afterwards told her there were three shillings in it. Prisoner the next day gave her 10d. not to tell, and the prisoners said if she did they would kill her. The prii T nef Watts exclaimed, " Oh, Be upon yeu, Ann Batten." The witness said that Ann Alders declared the night before the trial, that if she could get at her, she would wash herself in her brood. The prisoner denied it. The prisoners denied knowing any thing of the robbery, until they had been told of it by Ann Bat ten's mother. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, in summ;ng Hp the evidence, said it Was a very extraordinary case, and he evidence of Arm Batten ought to be received very suspiciordy. The prisoners were found fOulity—Judgment of Dcath recorded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-Ito USE. fames Green, a young man of shabby-genteel ap pearance, was charged with having obtained half-a - - crown through the following ingenious lint not novel contrivance :—The prisoner went into the shrsp of Mr Cuerton, fishing-tackle m , ker, in Cannon -street, and begged Mrs. Cuerton to exchange a George 111. shilling for one of George IV. Mrs. Cuerton took out the till, in which was five half-crowns, with other silver, and proceeded to examine if a milling of the reign required was in it ) In which office she was assisted by the prisoner, whose motions were, how ever, (+coil" watched by a sharp apprentice, in ano thti part of the shop. The lad noticed that the prisoner handled the silver in a very peculiar way; and upon his quitting the shop, he desired his tress to see if the money in the till was right. Mrs. Citerron looked into the till, and discovered that only four half-crowns remained. The boy ran out and overtook the prisoner, who returned to the shop ; and after denying the charge, with apparent indignation, h e s a id h e wou ld p a y the half-crown ra ther than be subject to any imputation. The ap prentice meantime had fetched the street-keeper, who took the prisoner into custody. On searching him, a " duffer's" watch, with an imitation gold ring was found upon him ; and upon being interro gated by the magistrate, he gave such an unsatisfac tory account of himself, that he was eventually com mitted. I IARLBOROUGH.STRE4'T. The Secretary to the Board of Health in the parish of Sr. James attended at this office yester day afternoon, for the purpose of obtaining a Magis trate's signature to an order upon the churchwardens and overseers, for a sum of money to be applied to the uses of the above establishment, upon which occasion Mr. CONANT and Mr. DYER, jun., took au op portunity of complaining to the Secretary that for some time past an abominable smelt had existed in Regent -street and other streets in that neighbour hood, and they said they thought it was a matter to which the attention of the Board of Health in that district ought to be directed. The Secretary replied that the Board of Health were most anxious to have every nuisance in the parish removed, but were unable to effect so desir able an object without the aid of the Council Office. Mr. CONANT inquired why the Board of Health did not make an application to the Council Office. The Secretary said that frequent applications had been made, but without success. " Indeed," he added, " some of the letters which had been ad dressed to the Lords of the Privy Council by the St. James's Board of Health had never been answered." Mr. DYER said, that probably the Commission ers of Woods and Forests would, if applied to, assist the Board of Health to remove the nuisances which at pre.•ent existed in that neighbourhood. The Secretary replied, that they had applied to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, but no notice had been taken of the application. The Magistrates then requested the Secretary to present their compliments to the gentlemen com posing the Board of Health, and to beg their immediate attention to the matter complained of. MARY LEB ONE. Ever since the 26th ult. placards offering a re ward of five guineas, from llarylebonne work house, have been posted, for discovering the mother of a male child, between two and three months old, found lying in the privy of No. 8, Hill -street, Regent's-park, on Sunday, the 25th of March ; and on the afternoon of Wednesday, from infoimation, Reid, the parochial messenger, took the infant's mother, Mrs. Eliztheth Kainesi, into his custody, and, in the evening, be brought her before Mr. Raw lit;son. The prisoner, it appears, is a widow, and fast ad. viancing into years. In her defence, she said that the infant was her's, and that she abandoned it, wanting means fot its support. She was fully committed for trial, and will be prosecuted by the parish. _ _ Some hundreds had assembled in the avenues to the office long brfore the woman Kaines was con ducted to the prison van, commonly called " his M4jes•y's omnibus," and such was the indignation of the crowd against her that the officer, Krys, en countered four or five severe blows in protecting her. hissing and hooting were universal. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday three men, namrd Higgins , Lathanz, and Donovan, were charged before the Hon. G. C. NORTON, with being engaged in working an illicit disc llery. The prisoners were convicted in the penalty of 30/. each, and, in default of payrnent, to three months' imprisonment. 11,4 TTON- GARDEN. Vestrrday George Graves was charged with hay stolen three lambs, the property of Huntley Bacon, Eq., of Bourn's-green, Tottenham. The property being identified, the prisoner said nothing in his defence.—Committed. Anthony Leeworthy Garland was charged with an extensive robbery by Mr. Wm. Thompson, brush maker, of Upper North-place, Gray's-inn-road.— Committed. UNION-HALL. Two men, named John Randall and Samuel Box, were charged with robbing the premises of a Mr. Douglas, Bermondsey, of a quantity of lead-gutters, and Samuel Jellyman and his wife Ifary, were charged with receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen.—Committed. GOETHE.—The veneration in which the memory of Goethe is held in Germany is not so universal and unqualified as some tourists and critics pretend. The admira tion of his extraordinary powers as an author has not, it seems, been sufficient to overcome the objections to which his character is liable on political grounds. A letter from Frankfort, dated March 26, in the A ligen "seine Aeitting, says—" The news of Goethe's death appears to hate made ♦ery little impression on the majority of the inhabitants of this place. •An old aristo crat the less,' was the expression to which the event gave ut terance in a large mixed company. Goethe knew the opinion of his native city, and was of course far from being proud of it." The fact is, that Goethe lived among Princes, and shared their antipathies to popular rights and free institutions. The government of Weimar, bepraised as it has been for the liberal encouragement of literature and the fine arts, is as forward as any of the petty despotisms of Germany in its decrees against the political liberty of the press. But the. feeling which, ac cording to the letter from Frankfort, appears to prevail in Ger man society, is one of the signs of the times which should not escape observation. It shows that in the present age, the high est talents of any kind, militaiy or literary, will not save the possessor from disrespect—from the disrespect even of those who would, by a very natural prejudice, be most inclined to ex alt him, if he declares hostility to the greatest interest of man kind—political improvement. CAULOW ASSIZES.-CURIOUS PROSECU TION.-At these assizes, a trial occurred which excited the most extreme interest in that county. The facts of the crse diselOsed on the trial are briefly these :—A man named John Kinsella was charged with blinding two hunting horses, the property of a Mr. Watson, by running into them a sharp-point ed instrument. The principal witnesses for the prosecution were James Mellon, and a woman named . Anne M`Gie. Mel lon is an Orangeman, and was one of the Myshall corps, who fired on the people at Newtownbarry.—Anne M`Gie is a woman of notorious bad character. They swore to the prisoner having inflicted the injury upon the horses with a carpenter's compasi. The Chief Justice„ before whom the trial. took, place, pointed out the most glaring inconsistencies'in' the evidences of those witnesses. The prisoner, who had been confined for several months on this charge, was acquitted by the jury; and such was the delight of the people, that they wished to draw the Judge's carriage home. The result of the trial is looked upon as 'a _de. feat to the paltry aristocrats of the county.—Dublin Morioing Itegiiter. - THE RE VENUE. IVo. I.

EWBANK, General Accountant. Excise Office, London, March 22, 1832. LABEDOYERE.—Labedoyere was the first sacrificed. He had made his arrangements to share the exile of Napoleon. The relatives of his wife, who were Royalist courtiers, dissuaded him with the assurance that he should be forgiven by Louis XVIII.; and their motive was said to have been the base one of making the fallen Emperor feel desolation and deseion. Labedoyere loved France, and especially Paris, with the passion of the younger Foscari for Venice. He joined the army of the Loire, left it to visit Paris, under an assumed name, was arrested, put upon his trial, stopped by the Judges in his defence, and condemned. The same persons who had fatally dissuaded him from leaving France, practised again upon the natural instinct of prolonging the sense of life, and his pas sionate tenderness for a wife and only infant child, with a renewed assurance that his life should be spared. They thus wrung from his human weakness, in despite of truth and con science, a sort of eulogy on the Bourbons and their Government. His wife and mother, relying on the assurances given them, threw themselves on their knees before . the carriage.wheels of Louis XVIII., and he drove on. They grasped the Duchess of Angouleme by her garments, which were disengaged from the suppliants with loyal horror by her attendant ladies. L a b edoy. ere ' in the forenoon of the same da y , was brought out and shot in the plain of Grenelle; in the. evening, Lotus xvilL supped, the Duchess of Angouleme prayed, and the frivolous Parisiani amused themselves on the Boulevards, in the coffee. houses, and in the 'Theatres.—Dr. Lardner's Calrinit Librery.

THE BORE. A POEM. LONDON, 183! The family of the Bores is 'one of the most ancient, respectable, and prolific in the three kingdoms. Like the gipsies, they are to be met with every where ; and, like the cholera, they are modified by circumstances. They edify the Lords—they clear the House of Commons— they lull to sleep the drawing-room—they drawl from the pulpit—prose in the law courts— Wepistolize," as Gibbon phrases it, with the Press—write pamphlets for Ridgway, and novels for Colburn—dress in black, and call themselves golden prebendaries—in red, and baptize them selves military men—in round jacket and top boots, and style themselves country gentle men—cultivate a circumference, and rejoice in the title of Alderman—a bag-wig and black shorts, and bless God, that they are courtiers ;—every where, in short, and at all seasons, some branch or other of this prolific family is to be met with, as though like Swift's Strulbrugs, they were endowed with immortality, and like the Genius of Sultan Misnar, with übiquity. Of all the Bores, however, whether critical, clerical, philosophical, political or poetical, your political one is " beyond compare " the worst. It is a nuisance to be even in the remotest degree connected with him—a punishment more than sufficient to atone for the most flagrant enormity. But Bores, unluckily, are not confined to per sons, they extend also to things ;—for instance, it is a bore to be compelled to read the Morning Post; to hear Mr. Irving "give tongue" at the Caledonian chapel ; to dance in tight pumps at a ball, with a corn on each toe ; to be roused up from bed by a cry of " Fire !” on your wedding Might ; to have your new great coat and hat stolen at a fashionable evening party ; to be congratulated on the restoration to perfect health, of a great-aunt from whom you had vast expectations, and who, you had flattered-your self, was, like the boroughmongers, in extremis ; to be stopped by a broad-wheeled waggon and eight horses at the turning of a narrow street, when you are rushing to your banker's, whose firm, you have heard, is about to stop payment ; to receive a grim lawyer's letter, at the very mo ment when you are expecting an ecstatic billet doux ;—all these things, it must be confessed, are bores, decided bores ; but oh, how faint, how trifling, how evanescent is the feeling of annoyance they excite, compared to that which you experience on hearing a prosing, thick skulled old Tory get up in the House of Commons, and stultify his audience by the hour together on the subject of the glorious Consti tution Gladly would you take refuge from such a calamity in sleep, but the speaker's loud bray forbids. Gladly would you fly from the scene of affliction, like Christian, in Pilgrim's Progress, from " The wrath to come," but the crowded state of the back galleries prohibits all egress. There is, there, fore, nothing left for you, but to hear out the rascal, as hour after hour a Niagara of nonsense falls in thunder from his lips ; till at length, with every nerve in your body alive and quivering, with your mind jaded, your strength exhausted, heart-sick, brain-sick, desperate, hypochondriacal, and smarting under an intolerable sense of suf fering, you seek your solitary lodging, over powered with a hatred of the human race in ge neral, and of yourself in particular; and as a necessary consequence growing out of the pecu liarities of your condition, you are found the next morning by your distracted valet in what the newspapers call "an interesting position," that is to say, stretched across the bed, with your throat cut from ear to ear. We have always considered the speeches of an Ultra Tory as strong provocatives to suicide. The author of the clever little poem before us, says little or nothing about this particular species of Bore, wherefore we have endeavoured in humble prose to supply the deficiency. He launches indeed a squib or two at them ; but his muse is a fair vagrant, and ranges over the vast kingdom of Boredom—the empire of which old Bankes has lately resigned in favour of his succes sor, Sir C. Wetherell—with a speed and a facility which prove that the bump of " locality" is not to be met with on her cranium. Bores, the author seems to think, (and on this delicate point we shall say nothing,) are fur the most part of the feminine gender. En voice. " Blue Stockings too (sure butt for waggery) Are always rang'd in this category— They're deep in Hebrew, Greek, and Syria; Well read in Ovid, by Meziriae ; Compare the Greek and French Medea, O'er Herman pore and Dorothea, And, of quotations nothing chary, Recite whole scenes from Alfieri ; Can talk of trade-winds and Etesian— What martyrs fell by Dioclgsian— As vers'd in marbles, gems, and bronzes, As any Fellow of St. John's is— Scan all the reigns of all the Ptolemies-- By problems prove how high a column is, And verity each bill they pay By strictest rules of Algebra— Class nat'ral orders like Decandolle, Or, analysing Gluck and Handel, Show why they brought the seventh or triad in ; Or talk of alkaloids and iodine ; Thro' microscopic focus eye a mite, And speak of mica, quartz, and miemite— To animals, of names profuse— Excepting those in common use— T T h h e e y l use ofe to a somenu language u n n o l t e a L r i n n ' d n , plebeian At the fam'd Regent's Park menagerie, They dub with some new term the casuary, Or give a name from ornithology (Glandarius) to the bird we call a jay.

The great merit of the " Bore" is the remark able ingenuity of the versification. It is a per fect Noah's Ark of rhythm. The most incon- aruous phrases and images are brought, and made to rhyme, together with an ease an d dex- terity truly Hudibrastic. Most writers move in fetters when - they versify, their rhymes being the mere clanking of their chains. Not so with the author of the " Bore." He proclaims his per fect freedom in every couplet. His scholarship, i s far from contemptible ; b u t h e h as the : lo o s od , sense to let it ooze out, as if accidentally, itni like the valour .of Bob Acres at his fingers' ends, instead of thrusting it vauntingly and unblushingly under the reader's nose. In a wrod, `fthe Bore" is a smart, spri g htly, inge- ninus poem, pf the Iludibrastic class, and set at defiance the Schedule 11. of public It has besides-the singular advantage of a dedica tion to General Phipps—an impassioned amateur of the Fine Arts, whom we once remember to havt seen, at the British Gallery, making the circuit of about four hundred fine old pictures in some thing less than ten minutes.

MADAME ADELAIDE TOSI. This lady, who is about to appear at the King's Theatre, is a perfect stranger to an English audience ; but from what we have learned from those who are familiar with her talents, we are led to expect considerable pleasure from her performance. She was Prima Donna at the Teatro de San Carlos at Naples, and from thence she proceeded to Madrid, where the Italian Opera is the chief public entertainment. She remained there during the whole of last year, during which time she was parti. cularly noticed by the Royal Family of Spain ; and from her shining talents as an actress and a singer, she was the general favourite of the public. From Madrid she proceeded to Turin, where she was engaged for London. Her voice is remarkably sweet, and her execution brilliant. Our informant was in the habit of attending the Opera during the whole time she was in Madrid, and assures us that he was never snore delighted than with her performance in Bellini's Straniera, and Bianca c Gernando ; Paciui's Gil Arabi nelle Gallic., and others, with which she may gratify a British public. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, APRIL s.—The Chancellor's gold medals for the two best proficients in classical learning among the Com mencing Bachelors of Arts, were on Monday last adjudged to Edmund Law Lushington, and William Hepworth Thompson, both of Trinity College. The Rev. Richard Duffield, B.D. Fellow of St. John's Col lege, Minister of St. Edward's in this town, and Vicar of Imp ington, has been presented by the Master and Fellows of that society to the consolidated rectories of Thorington and Frating, in the county of Essex, vacated by the death of the Rev. Edward Frewen, D.D. The Master and Fellows of St. John's College have presented the Rev. Arthur Carrighan, B.D. a Senior Fellow of that society, and Margaret Preacher in this University, to the rectory of Barrow, in Suffolk. On the 2Sth ult. the Rev. John Brewster Wilkinson, B.D. Platt Fellow of St. John's College, was instituted to the rectory of Holbrook, Suffolk, on his own petition ; and also to the rectory of Freston, in the said county, on the presentation of the Rev. George Capper, of Wherstead, and the Rev. Thomas Mann, of Norwich. The Rev. John Thomas Hinds, of Trinity College, has been instituted to the rectory of Pulham, Dorset, vacant by the ces sion of the Rev. G. S. Tenfold, D.D. The Bishop of Lincoln intends to hold his next Ordination at Buckden, on Trinity Sunday. Candidates are required to send their papers thither to his Lordship before the 6th of May. Several Members of the House of Commons have been invited to dine with Lord Althorp, on Saturday next, in Downing-street. The dinner has been postponed in conse quence of his Lordship having been honoured with an invita. tion to a dinner party given by the Duchess of Kent on that day. The Earl of Harewood entertained Sir Ro bert Gordon, the Hon. Henry and Lady Caroline Lascelles, and a select party, at dinner on Wednesday evening, at Hare wood House, Hanover-square. We have often had an idea of giving a certain lady of this country a hint, that she might as well confine her self to her domestic duties, as mingle with politics and vainly strive to influence public men and public measures. As she unquestionably possesses some talents and some reading, we have thought of reminding her of the advice which a great horse master of antiquity, Hector, "the mighty tamer of the Trojan steed," gave his wife, when she attempted to interfere in affairs ofstate— " No more; but hasten to thy task at home. There guide the spindle, and direct the loom." The French papers have, however, anticipated us : she now first figures in their columns. We are sorry for it : such an occurrence or discovery is not creditable to the character of our fair countrywomen. Why can she not pursue the usual course of a handsome woman on the decline by replenishing her admi iers from the votaries of the church ? These, too, accord best with her past life, which has always been most irreproach_ able. She really ought to consort with bishops rather than po liticians. At all events, let her be content with the distinction of presiding over the fantastic gentilities of Almack's.—Timcs. It has long been doubted whether Sir Charles Wetherell made his interminable thousand and one Anti_ Reform speeches extemporaneously or by dint of previous study. The dispute has been settled by a rather ludicrous ac. Cident. Sir Charles, in his last oration, in the act of giving one of his ordinary violent jerks to the waistband of his nether garment, tossed out of his pocket a paper of memorandums. The document was found by the servant wench who was sweep ing the floor of the House of Commons. The old woman con scientiously took the important paper to the Speaker, who immediately pronounced it to contain the heads of nearly tit Sir Charles Wetherell's Speeches on Reform.

A new Drama, the manufacture, we believe, of Mr. Planch6, entitled The Compact, was brought out here, for the first time, last night. It was highly successful, and bids fair to have a run. The plot is somewhat complicated, but the main incident arises out of the supposed murder of a young collegian eighteen years before by a fellotv-student named Mariano Murienos, on' whom suspicion falls in consequence of his having fled from the country, and who is therefor; during his absence, arraigned and condemned to suffer death whenever he shall appear. One of the associates of the banditti, not aware of the fatal sentence hanging over the suspected person, assumes the name in order to escape punishment, and thus becomes liable to the penalty. The Corregidor (Cooper) whose office it is to convict hill], is himself the lost Mariano, under a feigned name, and at the critical moment proclaims the fact. The innocence of the supposed murderer is immediately afterwards clearly esta. Wished by Raffagos, who then receives the par.. don, which had before been denied to him.— Mr. Wallack played the part of a reckless, but high.minded brigand, in his usual style of excellence ; Cooper, as the Cdrreidor, was tolerable ; and Mrs. Humby and Harley erili. vdned the piece by their comic archness. The scenery was very picturesque, and the whole drama well got up. The house was well attended but not crowded. COVENT-GA RDEN TiIgATIIE, We congratulate Mr. Sheridan Knowles on the triumphant reception which his Hunchback met with last night, at this theatre. The applause bestowed cm it was not the mere ap. plause of a party, but of a whole house, and bestowed in that hearty, disinterested spirit, which Irishmen, of all others ; are best able to appreciate. And never was approbation more richly merited. The drama is studded with beauties of senti. ment and diction, is not deficient in character, and in point of incident, is so artfully managed as to keep alive attention to the last. The following is a slight abstract of the plot, 'Which possesses the rare merit of conciseness and simplicity t—Masser Walter (Mr. Sheridan Knowles) having beeti befriended in a quarrel with a drunken party by Sir Thomas ClltArtl (Mr. C. Kemble), in gratitude introduces him to his ward Julia "(Miss Kemble), a lady who, in accordance with her father's will, has been brought up in the simplicity of a country life. - She however, on her contracting a matrimonial engagement with Clifford, brought by her father's desire to town, in the gaieties of which she soon forgets her former character, and so slights and trifles with her intended husband, that he resolves; as he needs must marry her, or be foresworn, to bid her an eternal farewell immediately after their union. Her indignation on his announcement of this resolve urges her to cast him off, and Master Walter shortly after informing her that one Master Wilford, a rich lord (Mr. Mason), has proposed for her, she, by her guardian's advice, accepts his proposals in sheer spite. Hearing, however, subsequently that Clifford is bereft of his fortune and title, on the discovery that a nearer heir, supposed dead, is still living, she gradually discovers that he is not so un interesting to her as she had supposed, and, when he is after.. wards introduced in the humble character of his rival's secre. tary, she hesitates not to avow her love for him. The Mite, however, appointed for her nuptials with WiVord arrives, and she is finally released from her painful dilemma by Walter's discovereng himself as her rather, who had contrived the whole as a trial of her constancy, and now unites her to the than of her choice. Besides this, there is a lively underplot consisting of the loves of Moans (Abbot ), a young college book worm, and his cousin Helen (Miss Taylor) ; in the course of which we are entertained with a pleasant criticism by the young lady on the utter nonsense of Ovid's " Art of Love" which the female part of the audience seemed to relish most prodigiously. As regards the acting of the Hunch. back we can speak in high terms of praise. Mr. Knowles played with feeling :spirit, hearty and straight-forward sincerity. Mind predominated throughout. His defects were purely physical, and consisted in a harsh, refractory voice; an occa. sional abruptness (particularly in the earlier scenes) in the delivery ofstrongly-marked passages : and a certain homeliness of manner which now and then descended even below the level of colloquial familiarity. In his walk, more especially in his favourite attitude of folding his arms across his chest, he re minded us "as with a difference" of Kean's Sir Giles Over. reach, whom he imitated even in his costume. On the whole, we should say that his performance was intellectual, but neither graceful nor agreeable. The conception left nothing, the execution much very much to be desired. Tipperary spoke out too plainly in his accent. Miss Kemble's Julia is the finest performance we have 3 et seen of this accomplished young lady. Her sprightliness was easy, graceful, and buoyant, as Mercutio's wit; her passion deep and fervent, but in no one instance overstepping the modesty of nature. Her remorse was in. imitably portrayed, and the way in which, during the distraction of her mind, she asked for the unwelcome letter of her aristocratic lover, while she yet holds it in her hand—a striking trait of nature, and conceived in a spirit worthy of Shak speare—was most touching and effective. Miss Kemble, we predict, will at no distant date realize all our ideas of a perfect actress. Her expression of quiet dignity—of cutting scorn—of roused pride (the latter especially), are replete with power and character. She fails, however, in her pathos, which is almost always elaborate, and wants the true feminine quickness and delicacy. Miss Taylor, as the volatile Julia, sprung into her character, as Buckle of old used to spring on his racer. Her archness ran over at her eyes, dimpled her cheeks, spoke in her student rench, smelt who a of s the the flexible lips ;—in a word, wa s exu b eran t , a l most to oppressive ness. C. Kemble had not much t o d o, b ut what l i ttle he had, h grace. Abbot's ar d w T ith his rinity or easy r Christchurch ; Dandy Lord had evidently some diffi culty in subduing his na tural good sense to the prop er d egree of aristocratic foolery, was cloisters did w silly enough in his comaion places to shine as a miracle of wit at A lmack's. As a composition, the play is remarkably well written. In its more serious passages it is forcible without being exagge. rated, and contains occasional touches of poetry, worthy of the old dramatists. We were much struck with the fine climax to the Hunchback's description of the country. "Itisto be nearer to your God;" also with the graceful definition of hap piness— " 'Tis ever thus with joy, With richest heart to have the poorest tongue." There was one sneer at the " great vulgar," which told with electrical effect. One Nobleman wishing to compliment another on his precocious proficiency in the follies of high life, addresses him in this racy fashion— . " Fair Sir, You grow a Lord apace." This sarcasm tickled the audience mightily, and up went a dozen hats in the pit, one of which escaping from the hands of its ravished proprietor, alighted on the head of a grave old gentleman in black horn spectacles, and very nearly occasioned a scuffle. At the close of the drama, Mr. Knowles was called for from all parts of the house. He came forward accordingly, accompanied by C. Kemble, when a scene ensued as diverting and characteristic as any in the play itself. Knowles insisted on announcing the Hunchback for Saturday night only, giving out Francis the First for the ensuing Monday. C. Kemble's delicacy would not allow this, and a friendly altercation ensued between the two dissentients, the one entreating, the other refusing, the one smiling, the other looking grave and objurgatory. Knowles's modesty was at length borne down by C. Kemble's superior bashfulness, and the Hunchback was announced for repetition every night till further notice. The house was crowded to suffocation. DRAMATIC EFFFCT.—It is related in the annals of the stage, as a remarkable instance of the force of imagination, that when Banks's play of the Earl of Essex was last performed, a soldier, who stood sentinel on the stage, en tered so deeply into the distress of the scene, that, in delusion of his imagination, upon the Countess of Nottingham's denying the receipt of the ring, which Essex had sent by her, to claim a promise of favour, he exclaimed, " 'Tis false! she has it in her bosom ;" and immediately seized the mock Countess, to make her deliver it up. A girl named Jane Johnson, only 18 years old, became the mother of an illegitimate child in the autumn of last year; her father was formerly a respectable farmer of Kirton, in the vicinity of Boston, During her pregnancy she became seriously depressed in spirits, and repeatedly declared her erd hil she intention went to drown to herself.e vas Saonin t e time ft with servant after Ware, he landlordbirth h of the Little Peacock Inn, Boston, and w hil e th ere purc h ased l several expensive articles of clothing, which excit e d th e 'Lulli. ei cion of her mistress that the girl w as no t h onest. Sh e charged her with theft, and the g i r l con f esse d t h at, on pass i ng through th Mr. a the bed-room of her mistress to her own sleeping room, she had repeatedly stolen money from the pocket of Mrs. Ware. Though she confessed stealing some money, she still appeared anxious to conceal part of the transaction, which compelled Mrs. Ware to send for Woodliffe, the beadle of the borough, on whose arrival the girl put on a bold demeanour, and asto nished those present by her strange perverseness, and apparent indifference as to the result. Urgent persuasions and threats of the consequences of her silence were tried, but without effect, and at last she was taken towards the borough gaol. She went very quietly, and when Woodliffe arrived at the gaol gates, it being then eleven o'clock at night, he found them c lo s ed. He turned round for a minute to solicit the assistance of a bystander, and the unhappy girl availed herself of the op. portunity of rushing down the bank, on which they were stand. ing, into the haven, the tide being then going down. - An im. mediate alarm was given, and she was heard to exclaim " Lord have mercy on me! 0 Lord !" but the water choked her utter. ance, and she soon sank to rise no more. The part of the river into which she plunged was very deep ; her struggles were distinctly perceptibleby the light of a gas-lamp near the spot. Gialby a sailor, residing near the spot, was called up. He used the ne. cessary apparatus for recovering the body, but nearly three hours elapsed before it was .bund. It had drifted nearly 200 yards, owing to the tide receding. There is one remarkable peculiarity in this case, showing how far deep-rooted affection may carry an honest heart. A young man, who had long been attached to the deceased, attended the inquest, and de clared that, although not the father of the child to which she had given birth, still his affection for her lingered on, and when he learned her evil course, her profligacy, and her crimes, he hastened to befriend her, and followed her footsteps to prison. He was a witness to the rails act which closed her unhappy career, and, although no swimmer, he plunged into the river to rescue her. There he sustained imminent danger; ibr it appears, although he was unconscious of it, that he stood upon the edge of a precipice ten feet deep, and hadihe advanced one step further, his life must have been sacrificed also. The poor girl sunk in his sight; his blood-shot eyes and pallid visage testified that sleep and comfort had been strangers to since the occurrence. An Inquest was held upon the body yesterday afternoon- Verdict of the Jtiry, with one diesen. lent, " Insanity."—Boetom Ga,cette.
