This is another proof of the deep sense entertained by the People of Scotland with regard to the absolute necessity of passing the Reform Bill, and that speedily. Those who assert that the public are indifferent to Reform, either cannot read the s igns of the times or wilfully belie the gene ral enthusiasm—for never was a nation more bent ° l l attaining a desirable end than the people of tl ' lB country are d evote d, b o dy an d sou l, t o th e final accomplishment of the measure of Reform " - in all its essential principles—unimpaired and nntnutilated. The meeting in Edinburgh was of a most im- Posing character—representing the property— the intellect and the industry of that enlightened a nd but recently emancipated capital. Al though the situation in which the meeting was held, and other circumstances were unfa vourable to the full display of so vast a multi tude as was there congregated, yet, says the North Briton truly and eloquently---" it was a scene which no man could contemplate without feeling that it had been produced by a mighty Moral impulse in the spirit of the people, which indicated a striking contrast to that political torp or which has long been erroneously deemed a characteristic of the people of Scotland, and for which they have often been reproached by their southern countrymen. The great—and we will say it-. the respectable congregation which yesterday assembled in the immediate vicinity of the Royal Palace of Holyrood, and under the shadow, as it were, of the appropriate mountain scenery of Arthur Seat and Salisbury Crags, gathered together on the notice of a few days, not only without an effort, but even under some discouraging circumstances, furnishes a stronger proof than anything of the kind within the me mory of man, of the decided opinion of Scotland in favour of Reform ; for, in look ing to this part of the empire, Edinburgh must be regarded as, more than any other Portion of it, snatched by recent occurrences fr om i th e w i t h er i ng b reat h o f more t h an half a century, issuing from a close corporation, and f rom a family domination the most en thralling, This movement was, in truth, irre pressible : it was one of gladness and of hope, u ' - nall °Yed with an y o f the bitterness which be '"ged to the expressions of public sentiment amon g us on l y s i x months ago ; an d t h e meet ing surpassed all that has gone before it in re ference to the Reform question, not more in magni tu d e and splendour than in the generous tone which characterized the proceedings. " We d o not profess to be able accurately to state the numbers present ; but by the con current estimates of several friends whom we have consulted on the subject, there could not be fewer than 60,000 in the field where the meeting was held, and on the heights which im mediately overlooked it ; and among these were to be found a very large Proportion of landed gentlemen, merchants, individuals of all pro fessions, intermingled with a body of tradesmen, equal, if not superior, to any that could be mustered in any other city of equal population." Our contemporary then describes the pic turesque appearance of the assembled multitude, which was at once striking and animated. The Chairman, Mr. J. A. MURRAY, advocate, a most ardent, consistent and disinterested Re former, " was supported by Sir DAVID BAIRD, Sir JOHN DALRYMPLE, Sir T. DICK LAU DER, Sir JAMES GIBSON CRAIG, Sir A. MAITLAND GIBSON, Sir R. KEITH DICK, Sir DAVID KINLoCII, and a number of gen tlemen at the Bar and respectable Citizens, who cr owded the Hustings, and took part in the pro ceedings." At the close of the business, the Chairman proposed three cheers in honour of his 4 "l C ng 'WILLIAM the Fourth, the F at h er of ountry,' when a shout ascended such as We 'lev er before heard ; it rent the welkin; a nd a cloud of hats, with banners, were seen w aving over the animated scene for some time ; and when the first cheering ceased, it was only for a moment, when three cheers given for Reform' again ascended, and spread far and wide throughout the assembled multitude. The hands struck up 'God save the King ; and this ended the meeting. ", yv We rejoice to s a y 6, that not the slightest ac- cident occurred to damp the satisfaction which seemed to pervade all present. The trades went in procession from the King's Park to Moray Place, in order to express their thanks to the Lord Provost for his courteous and conciliatory conduct in sanctioning their procession—a cir cumstance which should be a lesson to all per sons in authority, not to thwart the lawful and innocent wishes of those under their jurisdiction. " After the meeting which we have witnessed to-day, we hope it will never again be said that Scotchmen cannot meet in any number swithout bloodshed ensuing : and we would further deduce another important practical conclusion, that it would be unwise to provoke by insult and con tumely, or to bid a blind and insolent defiance to that moral power, of which the city of Edinburgh yesterday witnessed a very unequivocal manifes tation." After such a characteristic and highly flatter ing description, it would be presumptuous to enlarge. The Edinburgh meeting was worthy of Scotland and the proud cause of Reform. We recommend the speeches and the temper displayed throughout by the people, to the espe cial consideration of the minority of 175 In our Guildhall Police Report will be found some important particulars respecting certain tithe amounts claimed by the Rev. Mr. SA LUS BURY, non-resident Rector of St. Mary, Alder manbury, under circumstances of such peculiar hardship that Mr. Alderman LUCA s, before whom the case was brought, declared that he « should grant a warrant with great reluctance, and would much rather subscribe something towards making up the amount." The poor man against whom this warrant was brought, had, it seems, only just been released from gaol, where he had been confined for a considerable time for debt. He had a wife and family to maintain—was in great distress,—and had put this debt of tithes on his schedule. The amount is only three pounds, yet the non-resident par son, like a true son of the Church, seems to think it far better in his own pocket, even under all the circumstances of the case, than in that of a indigent, hard. working parishioner. This, we predict, is not the last grievance of the sort that will be soon brought before the public. The tithe system is pretty nearly in as bad odour in England, as it is in Ireland. The oppressive nature of the tax is every where becoming intolerable. The Paris Papers are still chiefly occupied with the fatal prevalence of the cholera in that unfortunate capital ; but we are happy to learn that the virulence of the disease is daily diminish .. By way of relief to the alarm produced by the cholera, we find in the Constitutionnel an article which, if true, would soon set Europe by the ears ; but which requires much more authority before we can believe the statements set forth. The following is a sample : (From the Constitutionnel.) The Austrian army is raised to the full war complement. The roads are covered with military transports. The Tyrol is crowded with troops, as also are Styria and Carinthia. Sixty or seventy thousand men are posted between the Isonzo and the Adige, having, as an advanced guard, in the legations from 15,000 to 18,000 men more. The garrisons of Mantua, Peschiera, &c. are put on the war footing. Twenty thousand men are in Milan. Seventy-five thousand to eighty thousand men are en campei and cantoned between Milan and the Tessin, and a camp of 30,000 is formed between Sesto, Calenda, and Besselora. At Vienna every thing is prepared for war, concealed as it may be from the French Embassy,—a war general, and a crusade against the Revolution of July, for some months. Prince Metternich is employed with a plan of definitive arrangement and circumscription of France. The bases are a third Restoration, not in favour of Henry V., but Louis XIX., with France restricted to the limits of the days of Louis XIII. Charles X. has renewed, officially, with all the Courts, his abdication in favour of the Duke of Angouleme, who, in his turn, has retracted that which he made in favour of the Duke of Bordeaux. Then follows a string of conjectures respect ing who shall be Regent, should the Duke of BORDEAUX succeed ;-what part Russia shall play---how Austria will act, and many other suppositions, which would cer tainly have commanded more attention and respect than they are present entitled to. That the Northern Powers will never for give France for the revolution of July, we all know, but havin g tolerated the Citizen King so lon g , we do not think they will select the present time as the most opportune for carrying their hostile intention s into effect.

Mr. PARKES, it will be seen from his letter in another part of The Sun, has denied the ac cusation lately brought against him by Mr. COB.. BETT, that he was indifferent to the mutilation of the Reform Bill. It was scarcely necessary that the Learned Gentleman should have taken the trouble to refute so absurd a charge. At a meeting of the Common Council of the city of London, held yesterday, a petition was agreed on to the House of Lords, requesting their Lordships to pass the Reform Bill ; it was also agreed on that the freedom of the city be presented to Earl GREY and Lord ALTHORP, for their meritorious exertions to pass the measure. Private Letters from the Havaunah, of the `3oth March, bring accounts of the total defeat of General SANTA ANNA, on the 3d March, with the loss of 300 meu killed, 250 made pri soners, with 45 officers. The General made his escape from the field of battle, and arrived at Vera Cruz the next day : 2500 of the Govern ment troops have proceeded against Vera Cruz. The following are extracts from Dutch and German Papers received this morning : THE HAGUE, APRIL 24.—Orders hive been issued to day by Government, by which the city of Cork and Cork harbour, are to be considered as injected, and the remainder of the county of Cork as suspected. Ships from thence will therefore have to perform fifteen and seven days' qua rantine respectively. Their Majesties the King and Queen will go to-morrow to Amsterdam, where it seems they will make only a short stay. Prince William Adalbert of Prussia will also go to Amsterdam to-morrow. His Royal Highness Prince Fre- derick will follow on Thursday. Princess Frederick, ac companied by Prince Albert of Prussia will set out for Berlin to-morrow ; the dauAhter of Prince and Princess Frederick set out thither to-day. During his short stay here, Prince Albert has been in Bois le.-Duc to visit the Prince of Orange at his head-quarters. The day before yesterday an order of the day of Com mander-in-Chief was read to the army, exhorting the mien to temperance in the use of spirituous liquors as a precaution against the cholera. A private letter from Padang, in the island of Sumatra, dated Dec 19, 1531, which has been received at Rotterdam, announces that a few days before an expedition, consisting of a corvette, three schooners, and a transport with troop, had sailed from that place towards the North, for the purpose of recovering several posts at the distance of some pals that we had long since lost. The expeditiun was completely successful. Our troops landed, killed many of the enemy, plundered their forts, took tvre:ve cannon, and made much booty. DUTCH FUNDS. AMSTERDAM, APRIL '24.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Havannah dated March 19 : " The Louisa, Cowl, arrived here, March 17, in eleven days from Vera Cruz. The passengers state that on the 3d instant General Santa Anna was completely defeated by General Calde.. ron. The action was fought on the plains of Tolome, about eight leagues from Vera Cruz. Of Santa Anna's force 300 were killed, and 450, including 45 officers, were taken prisoners; the rest fled. Santa Anna, accompanied by two persons only, returned to Vera Cruz on the 4th inst., and immediately undertook the defence of the city, which was besieged by General Calderon, at the head of 3,500 men." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. If we could place confidence in the accounts received this morning by the French mail, we might expect to see the whole of the Continent up in arms. (From a French Paper.) REPORTS OF WAR, AND A COALITION AGAINST FRANCE. "We have received to-day news of great importance, which we do not hesitate to lay before the public and the Government. The Austrian army is going to be put on a war footing; the roads are covered with transports and convoys (military). Tyrol is encumbered with troops, as well as Styria and Carinthia. Sixty to seventy thousand troops have entered Isenzo and Adige; the garrisons of Mantua, Peschiera, &c. are completed to a war establish ment; twenty thousand men are in Milan, seventy-five to eighty thousand are encamped between Milan and Tessin. At Vienna all is war. Tbeir hostile preparations are in favour of Henry V." From Berltn they also write that by an order from the Cabinet, the regiments of reserve are to be completed to a war footing ; several of these regiments are going to Mayence and San Louis, and all the troops on the Rhine are to be concentrated. H►s Highness Prince Albert has set off for the Hague. Accounts from Goettingen, Hanover, of the 15th April, state that great agitation prevails in that town, owing to the violation of humanity, all the Poles who for some time past had the permission to reside there, have been arrested, and their papers seized, by the Hanoverian Government; this is supposed to be at the request of the Emperor of Russia. Accounts from Valencia, Spain, April 2, state that yes terday, at 10 o'clock at night, au attempt was going to be made to assassinate the French Consul, after which all the French residing there was to share the same fate ; but this diabolical plot was fortunately discovered, and the French Consul has sent the particulars to the French Ambassador. A proclamation has been issued at Metz by the Mayor to the inhabitants, stating that the tranquillity of the town bad been disturbed for two days, begging of the citizens not to join with the agitators, should these dis orders again take place, severe measures will be taken. Accounts from Liege state, that the troops in that town have left for Luxembourg, owing, it is supposed, to the arrest of M. Thorn. The letters from Berlin mention, that 5,000 Poles still remain in Prussia, to whom the Emperor of Russia will not let them take the benefit of the armistice, and it is the in tention of the King of Prussia to admit them into his army. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court this morning were occupied in hearing arguments upon cases in the Special Paper, chiefly upon demurrer. BEVAN• v. HURST. Upon this case, which was one of demurrer to pleas, being called on. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said there were no less than ten pleas in the case, upon which not a single question could be raised, and which did not refer immediately to the cause of action. The Court some time ago issued a rule, by which it was ordered that no costs should be allowed in respect of super_ fluous pleas; and as this rule had been violated in this case, his Lordship desired the master to take a note to the effect that in respect of those ten pleas no costs should be allowed, either as between attorney and client, or as between party and party. Mr. MAULE then proceeded to argue upon a demurrer to the eleventh plea. The argument was of public interest. THE FUNDS. The reports in the French Papers of the warlike dispo sition and movements of the Austrian army is supposed to be, by the well-informed in the City, some stock-jobbing trick, and not the least credit is given to them. A Mexican mail has arived, sailed on the 27th of Feb. from Vera Cruz. Also a Dutch mail, which brings the Dutch Funds, per cent. lower. The private letters state that the Dutch Head Quarters are not to be removed for the present. The estafette from Paris brings the French Rentes rather lower, 69f. 85c. owing to the warlike reports in Paris. The cholera is decreasing. The Mexican Papers and letters received this morning, by the Mexican mail, only brings a confirmation of what we had via America, of Santa Anna's sortie, and taking a convoy of money, but the accounts from Brest state that of the Bth of March from Vera Cruz, that Santa Anna had been defeated. Consols opened at the price they left off, Sq. 4 for Account. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no political news of importance. Report says that Count Orloff will take his departure fur the Hague on Saturday week ; therefore we can have no important news from that quarter until his arrival there. Console have continued steady the whole of the morn ing at Ssi, alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. Mexican Stock has improved ; Dutch and Brazil much the same as yesterday. lIRE.E 0 CL 0 C.K. Consols for Account Mi. FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE.—This forenoon, a little before one o'clock, a most determined act of self destruction took place on the Surrey side of Waterloo bride, near Datuces, the Feathers public-house. During the morning a❑ elderly gentleman, of very respectable appearance, was observed to be parading about facing the Feathers, apparently in much dejection, and several times he stopped to look at the cats, mice, and birds that are exhibiting in a cage at the foot of the bridge. Just before one o'clock he gave WESTON, the man who exhibits the ani mals, the price of a pint of porter, and desired him to fetch it immediately. Scarcely had he turned his back, when the gentleman took the stool on which the man had sat, and, placing it on the landing of the stairs leading down to the Commercial -road, stood upon it, and deliberately strode over the iron-railings and dropped, feet first, into the timber-yard of Mr. allows 'Ng, a height of about seventy feet. The niece of Mr. DAUM who was in the bar below serving a customer, saw the whole affair, and witnessed the fall of the unhappy man. She instantly gave an alarm, and many persons ran to the spot, when they found him writhing in the agonies of death, and pieces of his skull and por tions of his brain were scattered in every direction. He was immediately picked up and carried into the Feathers, where Dr. MENztEs attended. On examination, it was as certained that both his arms were broken, as also were his legs, his skull dashed to pieces, and his eye-balls burst. On searching his pockets, a few shillings only were found, and a butcher's bill, by which it appeared that the name of the unhappy gentleman is Pond, and that he was living upon his property in Camden Town; and just before lie committed the dreadful act be had visited his two maiden sisters, ladies residing in Bedford -street, Covent-garden. At present no cause can be assigned for the rash deed. An inquest will be held o❑ the body to-morrow. Tin deceased was a single man. BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.) WHITE v. ---- FULLER, ESQ. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case for the plaintiff. This was an action brought by Mr. John White, who kept an academy at Morden Hall, Surrey, to recover of the defendant, a partner in the banking-house of Child and Co., and who resided in the neighbourhood of Tooting, a compensa_ tion for an injury done to the plaintiff's phaeton, by the negli gence of the defendant's servant, under these circumstances. The plaintiff had a son, who resided in London, and occasionally visited him. On the morning of the 15th of November, 18.30, the plaintiff's son was returning to London, driving the phwton, in which were also his two sisters and a female servant, and when on Tooting-hill, the defendant's servant, with two spi rited coach-horses, drove at a rapid pace on the wrong side of the road, and ran against the phwton, upset it, and broke it almost to pieces. The repairs amounted to ?Al., and the plaintiff had been put to about 51. expense in hiring vehicles for his use, while his own was under repair, and for those two sums the present action was brought. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. Barons BAYLEY, VAUGHAN, BOLLAND, and GUR NEY, took their seats in this Court, about a quarter past ten o'clock. Having disposed of a few motions of course, their Lordships rose at half-past ten o'clock, no more business being ready to be brought on before them. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.--(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHIEF BARON sat here to-day in equity. He disposed of a number of petitions, but none of interest had come on up to the time of our going to press. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SUICIDE.--An inquest was yesterday held at the Duke of York, Arlington-street, Vauxhall-road, on the body of Mr. EDEN GREEN, aged 29. The deceased "as occasional clerk in the service of Mr. LIDDELL, chemist, of 14, Grosvenor-street, West Pimlico. He was re spectably connected, and formerly lived as page in the service of the late Lady CAROLINE LAM, Lord DUN CAN NON, and other families of distinction. His faculties were, however, much impaired by drinking, and his wife and family were reduced to great distress. On Wednesday he sent his little girl for two ounces of laudanum, and, after kissing his wife affectionately, he went into a back room and swallowed the poison. Surgical assistance was soon after called in, but he died ill six hours. He had been disappointed in not receiving an expected remittance from the country, and to this the rash act is ascribed.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATM LETTER.) " My last letter was dated on 'the 12th ult., advising you -of a revolution hark.: 'Aiken out here, headed by General Santa.„Anna. Mince . then,' strange to say, although two packetshOlie arrived from Falmouth, and the Portena from Liver-hoot, have not received a single line from home. 1 4 1ad'anything extraordinary oc curred bet Ween the time Of tray lase writing you and now, you shduld have &e'er s i Wormed before. Every thing has, however, up to the present moment, been almost peacea ble. The Governsent armies have been encamped for the last week at about five leagues from hence,'at a place called Santa Fe, expecting a small conducta of money and pro visions for the-army, consisting of about 3,000 men. About three o'clock in the afternoon of the 23d, the packs t Plover arrived from Fahnouth. General Santa Anna immediately sent to inform the British Consul that unless the English courier was despatched from this immediately, the gates of the town would be closed, and no person would be allowed to pass out. The packet Express was, therefore, sent off without delay, the gates were immedi ately closed, and the General ordered a review of the ArrochOs (countrymen, inhabitants of the huts adjacent to the coast; they all h.ve horses, and use a short sword and gun; are very brave, and acquainted with all the lanes about the place). About half-past five, he went to the review, but informed them he had not then time, but they were to hold themselves in readiness, and get their horses fed, &c., about seven or a little after. A few officers were seen riding slowly through the streets, which was the first notice we received of any extraordinary event being about to take place. About nine I proceeded to one of the gates of the city, and was then informed that about 300 infantry lad already pissed through. The ArrochOe were mounted—prehably about 600 or 700 men. They soon after rode out, Santa Anna, in person, giving his commands to the officers about him, and when the whole had passed through, himself and a few of his officers also mounted, and followed the men. Various were the con jectures as to his object, and we remained in ignorance until yesterday morning, when we were surprised to bear, that Santa Anna had, by a circuitous route, passed nearly close to the encampment of the enemy, taken the provi sions and money destined for their supply, and also about 200 men prisoners. He came into town at the head of his men, about eleven, A.M., amidst the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, and applause of the people. This was a most daring undertaking, as he passed so close to the enemy, that the watchword was distinctly heard, and the money (24,000/.) and provisions were taken from their rear, at a distance of about ten miles from their encamp ment. What the consequences may be, we can, as yet, hardly say. Several States are now wavering, and the news will probably decide whether they declare for him or net. Here we are of opinion he will gain the day, which will be better for the foreigners. I hope soon to be able to inform you that tranquillity is restored. Meanwhile, with my love to mother, and respects to all friends." CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPOR CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

Lomas, one of the individuals who was tried at the last Lancaster Assizes with Broadhurst, Ashmore and Curran for riot and sedition, on the 22d and 29th of January last, was committed to the New Bailey Prison the other day, in default of payment to the overseers for the main tenance of a bastard child. He was apprehended at the Pendleton Radical Reform Meeting by Cotterill, the de puty-constable. Upon his person was found cone spondence from the various Universal Suffrage kssociations in different parts of the Kingdom, and from Hetherington, of the Poor Man's Guardian. Letters were also found upon him from the demagogue Broadhurst, and his col leagues of the Castle at Lancaster, headed—" Lancaster Bastile, sth month, in the thirteenth year of the Manchester massacre without retribution or inquiry."-- The letters complained of the food which was allowed them, as not being sufficiently substantial for their sup port : they remarked upon the injustice of the imprison ment, commented upon Judge Alderson's law; and as their incarceration had nothing daunted them, Broadhurst hoped that the acquittals, and the rest of the radicals, would continue to agitate, agitate, agitate. The pro posed cross-examination of the witneses at the trial were amongst the papers. When Cotterill repaired to the room in which the meeting was held, for the purposes of apprehending Lomas, he had not arrived, and it was pre posed that the strange gentleman (Cotterill) should take the chair, which honour he, however, declined. One of the speakers addressed the assembly upon the thraldom in which the working-classes of Britain were held, and Cotterill being asked to express his sentiments upon that subject, he addressed them in a neat and appropriate speech, expressive of the horror he entertained of slavery, and, indeed, of every species of labour, and elicited much applause, Having concluded, Mr. Lomas made his appearance, and the strange gentleman made his bow in the character of Baron IVab'em, and walked off the agitator to durance vile. No resistance was offered, but a subscription was entered into to pay the demand, about 21. but they failed in raising so large a sum, consequently the moral patriot stands coin. mitted for three months, unless the money is paid, the in exorable overseer refusing to give further time. The weekly allowance made by the Crown to the prisoners alluded to in Lancaster Castle is 2ilbs. of meat, jibs. of bread, and 101bs. of potatoes. The Marquess of HERTFORD recently gave a grand dinner at Pompeii, on the site of the ancient baths. Many of the guests were conveyed thither in one of out omnibuses, containing twenty-five persons. The passage of this stupendous modern machine, followed by several elegant carriages, along the narrow streets of this antiqu: town, formed a most singular spectacle. An attempt a , an excavation was made during the dinner, but was no successful.

A new play in five acts, from the pen of Mr. SasLe, an actor of considerable merit, was last night brought out at this theatre. Its title is the Merchant of London ; its plot is as follows : —The merchant, Scroope (MACREADY). has a rich niece, Mariana (Miss Pnivrars), whose hand is sought by Richard Fitzalan (Mr. COOPER), the ward of Lord Beaufort. Edward Beaufort, (Mr. H. WAL. LACK), the Lord's son, forms a scheme for carrying her cff, in which by the inadvertence of her lover, be succeeds. The character of the merchant is developed in the course of the play. He has become the creditor of the pi owl Lord Beaufort, has his lands in mortgage, and all that he possesses in his power. In an interview which takes place between them, the causes which have led him to engage so deeply in the concerns of this noblemen are explained. The merchant was the son of a peasant, educated by the old Lord Beaufort, made the inmate of his house, the companion of his son, and of an only daughter. That daughter, Francis Norton (the name the merchant then bore) wooed and wedded in secret. Their passion being discovered by the young Lord, they were forcibly sepa- , rated, the lady confined in a religious house, the husbandl driven abroad to escape the punishment of crimes unjustly alleged against him by his powerful persecutor. In the years which have elapsed, his talents and industry have made him rich ; his wealth has enabled him to gain abz solute power over the thoughtless Lord Beaufort, and the disclosure of these circumstantes is made at the same time that the merchant informs the Peer that he is within his grasp. He postpones his vengeance, and desires that Richard Fitzalan, for whom he has cora-- ceived a strong regard, shall be sent to receive hie detettrti n (tion. While the young man is with him, listening tti the ta+e of his wrongs, the merchant receives the news o: hid niece's disappearance, and learns that she has been borne off by the contrivances of Edward Beaufort. The ra;e against hie old enemy, and all who are connected with him, then breaks out. He takes possession of the estate which has become forfeited to him, and is about to ttirn Lord Beaufort into the street, bouseless, and destitutea when that Nobleman informs him that his wife, before slue died, became a mother, that her son is living, and that the secret of his birth is known only to Lord Beaufort. This brings the merchant, in the height of his pride of vengeance and power, to the feet of his enemy. The secret is soon told —Richard Fitzalan is that son. Mariana is rescued 134' the means of Flaw (Mr. HARLEY), a silly citizen, and of a tender-hearted ruffian who had been employed to assist' in carrying her off. The lovers are united, all that can be forgiven is pardoned, and so the piece ends. The great defect of this play is want of character. There is but one, the Merchant, and even he is little better than a negative until the fourth act, when he developea " mark and likelihood," of which MACREADY availed himself tti the utmost. We have rarely seen this actor to greatet advantage. He is excellent at sudden, uncontrollable bursts of passion, at rapid kindlings of the spirit, when the long pent-up fire of the heart flashes out like lightning, and Mr. SERLE gave him ample room and verge enough for the display of these excellencies. But MACREADY would have acted better, have made a deeper impression, if on these favourite occasions he had trusted more to his own feelings, and less to the trickery of his vocation. His transitions from inteneest excitement to most per. feet repose : his changes of voice from the roar of a north- , easter to the whisper of a west wind, are not nature; they are mere pantomime. The storm is not hushed in an instant, it still leaves the swell behind it, and thus is it with the passions of the heart. Their tran sitions may be sudden--abrupt—but they are never instantaneous, for the same want of self-control that called them forth, would still keep them awhile a-blaze.-- Miss PHILLIPPS made a very pretty, innocent young lady, brimfull of love and tenderness; and Coorza a most or thodox English " sweetheart," who kept within the pro prieties of sentiment, and never suffered a glance of undue passion, or a movement that showed lie forgot himself in his mistress, to escape him. Whenever this discreet actor makes lovi, it is with his understanding not his heart. He never forgets that he is treading the boards of a playhouse, in presence of a house full of opera-glasses. In a word, he lectures upon love scientifically, as though it were one of the fine arts. Then, too, his voice : we really cannot fancy a young man whispering soft nothings to his mistress in the key of a Tower gun ! In the sterner portions of the character, however, Mr. Coorsta redeemed himself, and played with intelligence and discrimination. Mr. HARLEY did his best for a part that should have been omitted, and in his drunken scene, which mars the harmony of an otherwise effective incident, reminded us more of Silenus than Bacchus; of the inspiration of brisk swipes, rather than of classic " sack." Mr. HRINDALL'tI ruffian was redolent of the Old Bailey—a high compliment, albeit not so poetic as might be desired. The language of the play throughout, is chaste, and at times remarkable for vigour; though in the portions of it intended to be humorous, there is so much beating about the bush, so much begging of the question, that the wit evaporates in the difficulties we find in getting at it. Mr. SERLE is no dazzling fencer with the rapier of humour. He is not a clean strait-forward hitter. Mercutio would laugh him to scorn with the foils. His redeeming merit is his exact good sense. If he have no brilliant passage., he has no mean ones ; if he do not electrify, be at least sa tisfies. Throughout his play, he displayed a perfect acquaintance with the beauties of our elder dramatists, though there were no traces of servile imitation in his dic tion. From the first act to the last, the audience listened with the deepest attention ; the fifth act, in particular, was received with an approbation bordering on enthu siasm, and the play given out for repetition, mid loud ac • clarnations without one dissentient voice. SURREY THEATRE. Last night The Death Light, and The Wreck Ashore, were repeated to a very crowded audience. The farce of The Three andthe Deuce was introduced, in which Mr. BALLS., late of Drury-lane, sustained the very arduous characters of the Three Singles. The great difficulty of finding a successor to the inimitable ELISION in that piece .renders its introduction a matter of very rare occurrence ; indeed, so strong is the personation of it by ELLISTON en graved on the memory of all who ever had the pleasure of witnessing his performance in the three characters, that scarcely an actor is to be found willing, to encounter the task. Mr. BALLS, however, surprit,,l us by Vie ability which be threw into the piece, and by the very correct personation of the three characters so opposite to e ach other in all the action and deportment. The apidi:y with which he threw off the one character and assumed another, struck the audience with astonishment, and at intervals the applause was deafening. We may, indeed, congratulate the manager upon so great an acquisition to his establish ment. VALE, as the servant, was, as usual, eminently successful. At the conclusion Mr. BALLS was loudly celled for, but he did not make his appearance, DUBLIN, APRIL 25. then wasteful forth Walks the dire power of pestilent disease. The general topic of conversation and of novelty here at present is the cholera, which is making alarming strides. The new cases announced this morning are seventy ; yesterday fifty ; and the day before about twenty-five; so that it seems to be progressing in regular ratio. Whe ther or not the published accounts embrace all the patients afflicted with this disease, or more tha❑ are the victims of the strange malady, is extremely doubtful to say. Some persons tell you, that whenever a servant, or one of the poorer and more destitute portion of the people, is known to be unwell, the officers of health are immediately at hand, to carry them to the hospital ; and that several poor creatures, under ordinary complaints, are thus numbered among the devoted few who have been really attacked. Others say that numbers are dying daily that are not at all reported ; and that none but the destitute are visited by the officers of health, or sent to the hospital, while a great many persons, in comfortable circumstances, are being carried off every day by some sudden and violent distemper to which their friends will not allow the name of cholera. I can myself vouch for one case in corroboration of the first class of rumours. Yesterday a servant-man com plained of sudden head-ache, which, being taken for a symptom of cholera, four lusty fellows were immediately called to take him to the hospital. The man loudly and violently protested that he was not so seriously ill. But they were bearing him off, notwithstanding his cries and protestations, until a mob was collected by the unfortu nate man's screams, and rescued him. As soon as lie found himself at liberty, he threw off his jacket, and chal lenged any one of the four fellows who were carrying hint to fight ; alleging that he would prove on their bodies how unfit a subject he was for hospital or infirmary ! Ile of course was not taken to the hospital; but whether he was a fit subject for it or net, I cannot tell. Ti 'e most melancholy consequence of the panic produced by this dire visitation, is the reluctance of the poorer orders to submit to the measeres of cure and precaution adopted for them. This arises from a belief, on their part, that between the poor and rich in this country, there is no communion of feeling or interest. I have no time to discuss how errone ous this opinion is, nor to detail the unhappy consequences to all classes of people in this country. Would that the Reform were carried, that good men of all pat ties might unite together in remedying those toils, which " not hinge nor laws can cause nor care," 3195 el t :.? i C.) : 2 § g .:' 4-1 g - .Z.i U. 1,. 720,,,4-=
