A French drama, turning upon the interest excited by a false accusation of poisoning, and which, under the name of Marie Simon, made some noise in one of the Boulevard theatres, has been adapted by Mr. M orris Barnett, and was lasi, night successfully produced at this theatre as Lilian Gervais. The plot may be briefly described as follows :—A somewhat dreary old Marquis magnanimously poisons himself in order to give his un faithful wife an opportunity of mar marrying her lover, -e. smart young barrister. Lilian Gervais, an innocent girl, a dependent of the family ) and to whom the dissipated but not quite unworthy son of the Marquis had been Paying guilty addresses— is accused, in consequence of a train of minute circumstances, of the murder, brought to trial, and condemned to death—her former lover now appearing in the character of his father's avenger, and her motive being alleged to be the removal of that father as an obstacle to her intrigue with the son. The best p o i n t i n th e pl a y is that in the scene in which the condemned girl tells the marchioness that she is k new of her intrigue with the barrister who c onducting the case against her, and that her motive for getting rid of her husband must have been greater t han her own could have been for putting out of the Way the father of a lover, whose guilty proposals she had never listened to. The Marchioness solemnly swears that she has had no hand in the tragedy. Lilian then Magnanimously keeps the secret of the intrigue to herself, and is rewarded when on the point of execu tion by a con fession of suicide being found in the hand-writing of the deceased, so that the barrister may have the marchioness, and we are quite sure that the son o f th e mar quis has Lilian. The incidents of the piece are slight enough, in all conscience, but in artistic hands like those of some of the performers at this favourite house they are made touch of. The heroine was played by Miss Anderton, a young l a dy boasting, it is said, " o f cons id era bl e pro vincial and transatlantic reputation," but quite new to the London boards. She acquitted herself very creditably in this, her first appearance in the metropolis, and as she evidently possesses dramatic power s o f a superior order, elle will no doubt soon work herself into as much popu larity with John Bull as with Brother Jonathan. Her orte lies in the "passionate or pathetic line of business," and certainly her acting, though sometimes overstrained, is, generally spea ki ng , s i mp l e , t ouc hi ng, and energetic. ' The other part s ca ll f or no no ti ce whatever, further than that they were well sus t a i ne d, w hil e, as for the success of the play, it is enough to state that it was announced for repetition until further notice, amidst much applause. ABOMINABLE CRUELTY.—The magistrates acting for this district--the Hon. Cr. T. Irby, the Rev. T. Carter, and R. R. Clayton, Esq.—were occupied yesterday for several hours in the hearing of an information had at the instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, through their secretary, M r . Th omas , aga i nst Mr. John Pickett, the landlord of the Plough Inn, Ox ford, for having, as was alleged, cruelly ill-treated an d over-driven a pony during th performance of a match against time between Oxford and London and back. The evidence went to show that the poor animal was most cruelly ill-used and beaten savagely to make it perform the match. One of the witnesses stated that the pony refused to eat anything in the day in question ; but at one of the stoppages a bit of raw beef was tied round the pony's bit before it was placed in its mouth, and then defendant drove away. Before he started another horse was placed in front of the pony as a leader. This leader was attached by two cords to the harness of the defen dant's pony, and he was dragged off. The collar was pulled up more than a foot from his shoulders two or three times before the pony moved, and he would not have moved then if some persons had not laid hold of the bridle, and when he went on the defendant began whipping him. The certificates of two veterinary sur geons were admitted as evidence by Mr. Thomas, but they did not assist the defendant's case, as they were merely to the effect that they had examined the pony a day or two after the match, and that it did not appear at all injured by the feat it had performed. The room was then cleared, and the magistrates after a short deli beration directed that the public should be re-admitted. They then announced their decision to be that the charge contained in the information had been established, and they adjudged the defendant to pay a fine of 405., and 1/. 13s. costs. The fine and costs were immediately paid. ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH, Jan. 17. General Viscount Hardinge, G.C.8., Commanding-in-Chief, ac companied by the Hon. Colonel Gordon, son of the Earl of Aberdeen, and Mr. Moultan, an American gentleman, arrived at the Royal Arsenal this forenoon to witness experiments with a new description of musket, or rifle, for loading at the breech. The Commander-in-Chief >vas received by Colonel J. A. Chalmer, Inspector of Artil lery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Palliser, Assistant-Adju tant-General of Artillery, and proceeded to the butt at the east end of the Arsenal to test the small arm. The piece was loaded and fired 100 times in 15 minutes, or at the rate of a fraction more than six rounds per minute. 200 rounds were fired altogether at 200, 300, and 500 yards' range. The ball is much less, and the powder finer, than is used in the common musket or Minie rifle. The breech is entirely open the length and depth of one of the cartridges, including the powder and ball, which, on being placed into the open part, is pushed forward up the barrel by the action of a spring trigger sunk or projected, as required, from the stock, which it is flitted with in addition to the usual guarded firing-trigger. The balls being comparatively much lighter than those ge nerally used, the strong wind which prevailed at the time of firing appeared to have an influence on the di rection they took towards one side of the target. Ge neral Lord Hardinge subsequently visited the new ma , chine i nven t e d an d perfected by Mr. Anderson, who has the charge of all the works in the Dial-square and boring finishinga iese n m d cappleatbelleyof departments.

She tried many remedies without deriving any benefit ; but, by the recommendation of others, who had been cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills, she commenced using them, by which means her le g s are soundly cured, and her health com pl e t e ly re-established.

Private letters from Genoa, of the 12th instant, contradict the reports of the Austrian army in Italy having received numerous reinforcements. It is true that precautions had been adopted by the Austrian Commander-in-Chief on the side of Swit zerland, where the artillery had been reinforced by four batteries. Accommodation had likewise been commanded on the line of the Tesino for a small body of men. RAILWAY AccIDENTS.—The recent awful sacrifice of human life on the North-Western Railway, near Oxford, has again painfully directed the attention of the public to the subject of railway accidents—th e i r causes and remedies. In this case it is , that had the guar d been ena bled to communicate been prevented. A very with the driver frightful calamity might have hfreat proportion of the casualties to which the railwaye train is subjected might be prevented if there were but a ready means of communication from the passengers to the guard, and from the guard to is per the engine-man.tinder the e x isting system, the_engine-driver f eetly ignorant of the state of the rear portion of the train, and a tire may fly off or an axle heat and ensue,ignite the carriage' and the most disastrous consequences without his being at all cognisant, until the crash of the accident occurs, of the jeopardy in which he has been r unning. It certainly appears t o the most unscientific b lind that there would be v er y littl e difficulty in invent ing some simple and cheap contrivance, by means of Which a communication could be established throughout t he whole of the train.

He was atonished at the devastation which it occasioned, and de clared thatall that he had read or fancied ofrailway accidents never could have realised to his mind anything like the real extent of the destruction. Mr. Cardwell is probably the first President of the Board of Trade who has been upon the spot immediately after a railway collision, when the dead and dying, the uptorn rails, the disabled locomo tive monsters bellowing forth steam and water, the fierce red hissing coals, and the shattered carriages, are all heaped up in one horridly confused and heterogeneous bas s . I trust that what the right honourable gentleman Raw may lead him to devote the energies of his powerful mind to the important subject of railway accidents.— C orrespondent of Edinburgh A dvertiser. GOOD NEWS FOR ANGLERS. —Owing to the continued high state of the river, a greater number of salmon, some of which are very large, have ascended it than in any seaso n in the remembrance of the oldest angler on its banks. We have been informed by one who is employed in protecting them during the spawning season, and who, since " his arm had seven years' pith," has waged an incessant warfare against the finny tribe, that he has seen two larger than any fish of the salmon kind which ever came under his observation. From the above, t he beginning of the rod may anticipate brilliant sport in the beginning of the season , which commences on Tuesday, let of Februazy.—Bredin Advertirer. The Parlamento of Turin, of the 14th instant, announces that the Chamber of Deputies adopted the day before, by 90 votes to 27, the project of law, authorising the Minister to alienate an annual reute of 200,000,000 livres. The Archduke Francis V., Dukd of Modena, and his suite, arrived at Venice on the 10th instant. The lifediterraneo of Genoa, of the 13th instant, publishes the following letter from Florence of the 11th : " The report of the death of M. Madiai, announced by the Opinione in its Tuscan correspondence, is totally unfounded. The Grand Duke, who went to inspect the works of draining and canalisation in the Maremmas, is to return next week to inaugurate the series of grand balls to be given in the Palace Pitti. Florence, the favourite residence of foreigners, will soon be endowed with an establishment which is wanting. 36 members of the Italian and foreign aristocracy in that city have joined for the purpose of founding a magnificent casino, which will take the name of Jockey Club. The palace Uguccioni, at Santa Trinita, has been selected, on ac count of its fine salons, for the seat of the establishment." The King of Bavaria arrived at Rome on the 4th. The Grand Duke of Tuscany accompanied his Ma jesty as far as Sienna.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 12th inst. The Gazette publishes the following Royal Order : " Ministry of War. "Excellency,—Her Majesty the Queen having read with astonishment the exposition addressed by you to the throne, under date of 15th December last, and clandestinely distributed in the shape of a flying sheet, and being painfully affected by the tenour of that document, characterised not only by a want of respect for her Royal person, but also by excessive per sonal praise, unbecoming comparisons, and an absolute violation of the 2d, sth, 6th, and 16th clauses of the second Treaty, titulo 17th of the Royal ordinances, and the present law on the press, her Majesty has deigned to command, as I hereby inform you by her Royal order, that I should tell•you that the contents of your expo sition have excited her deepest displeasure. The desire of her Majesty is also that her orders be strictly exe ecuted, and that, consequently, your Excellency should proceed forthwith to execute her Royal order of the 9th December, 1852, inasmuch as you are concerned. (Signed) "JUAN LARA, Minister of War. "Madrid, 11th Jnnuary, 1852. "To his Excellency the Duke of Valencia, Captain-General of the Army." The Royal order of the 9th December, 1852, en joined General Narvaez to repair to Vienna to study the military archives of Austria. It was reported that the public functionaries, members of the Moderado Electoral Committee, would be superseded in their posts. Among those mentioned were MM. Antonio Cordova, Saturnino Collantes, Orlando, Mayans, &c. The Gazette announces that the debentures pro ceeding from the conversion, received by the Trea sury in December last, amounted to 136,295,535 reals. We have already referred to the exposition of Marshal Narvaez to the Queen of Spain on his re cent expulsion, and demanding to be allowed to return. It has been referred to the Supreme Council of War ; and the Baron de Meer, who is one of the Presidents of the Council, has expressed an opinion to the effect that Marshal Narvaez de served three years' imprisonment for addressing such a paper to her Majesty on being sent by her oii a special mission.

The fourth part of "An Attack on the Left Bank of the Rhine and its Contingencies," is contained in the Augsburg Gazette of the Bth. The impression which it produces is that Germany is wofully afraid of its Gallic neighbour. The writer is of opinion that " the French might bring together 300,000 or 350,000 men and 900 cannon for the invasion of Germany, while the Confederation could certainly dispose of 455,000 men and 1,160 guns. Radetzky, the Prince of Prussia, Wrangel, Hess, Schlick, &c., are regularly pitted against Castellano, Magnan, d'Hautpoul, and even Ch angarnier and Lamori - ciere." To say the least of it, the article is a highly imprudent one. An order has been issued by the War Department here that all officers who have leave of absence and are abroad, must keep the Austrian Legation well informed of their where abouts. Much ado is made about the paper currency of the Bank having been reduced from 199,000, 000 5. to 195,000,000f1. during the last month, while the amount of specie wa s on l y 112,0001 less than in November. The amount of bank-notes is not too great for such an empire as Austria, but every one is curious to know when something will be done to wards increasing the stock of hard cash. A Mr. Wiett is gone as French Consul to Bosna Serai, in the Herzegovi na , and Mr. Longworth will represent England there. PRUSSIA. The first of a series of four wee kly fetes has been given at the Palace in Berlin in a style of splendour unknown in the annals of the simple Court of Ber lin, at any rate since the commencement of the present reign. It closed with a concert, at which Fraulein Wagner and Formes, the basso, so well known at her Majesty's Theatre, sang, assisted by the notabilities of the Opera here. The day pre vious there was a grand dinner party, followed by a concert ' • and stag-hunts a n d coursing were ar ranged in the Grunwald, with dinner afterwards at the Palace in Charlottenburg. The Court will remain in Berlin only four weeks. SINGULAR INClDENT.—About—About 21 years ago, a youn g s othepirortbeinbgecoonmtinoo man named Wickam, of Great Oakl e y, li ve d fellow servant with a young woman named R ee d, a t M r. J .

A f re intimate terms, Wickam enlisted into the Rifle Brigade, g where he subsequently rose to the rank of a sergeant. It turned out that the scandalous rumour respecting the young woman was false and unfounded, and she after wards married to a young man named Deer, of Ram se y, where they carried on a good grocery and drapery busi ness a few years, till the husband died, leaving no children. In about 12 months she married again to a young man named Henry Morley, from the Castle Inn, Ramsey, but a short time after she was again left a widow, with no children. About a month ago Wickam received his discharge with a good pension and came home to Great Oakley, when he sought and found his "lady love" in the business above spoken of, and strange to say, this renewal of " old acquaintance" resulted in his marrying her by licence at Ramsey church. Thus the old soldier, " tired of war's alarms," left the service of Mars to enlist in the more peaceful, corps of H ymen, and assist his partner thrice wooed and thrice won in the grocery line. HOSTILE MEETING. BOULOGNE, JAN. 16. Une affaire d'honneur, which took place here during the past week, has caused no small sensation in the fashionable circles of this locality. The belligerents were an Hon. Captain C— of the C— Guards, an d a M a j or also holding her Majesty's commission. The cause of quarrel was very trifling, arising out of a few words spoken at a public dinner table, which not being able to be satisfactorily explained on the spot, "a meet ing " was determined on for the next day ; but, strange to say, on the arrival of the parties at the field of battle, they were unprovided with pistols. The matter was, therefore, adjourned until Saturday morning, when the major received the fire of his adversary (happily without effect) without returning it, and immediately afterwards acknowledged himself in the wrong. The seconds in the matter were Mr. A— B—, formerly of the Madras Cavalry, and brother of a distinguished M.P., and Lieutenant A—, R.N., son of a gallant admiral.

The Odin, 16, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Scott, hauled out of dock to the fitting basin this a noon, after having he copper cleaned. She left the basin this evening. The Sidon, 22, paddle-firigate, Captain Goldsmith, had her steam up this afternoon to try her engines. The Basilisk, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Commander the Hon. F. Egerton, has completes' coaling, and is ordered to Spithead. • The Prussian corvette Mercuri, sailed from the Mo therbank this morning for the westward.

Her Majesty's frigate Ph ae ton, 50 gu ESS ns, Captain George Elliott, arrived at the Little Nore yesterday, at 3.45 p.m., from Portsmouth, and saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral of the White the Hon. Josceline Percy, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, &c. The salute was returned with seven guns by her Majesty's ship Water loo, 120, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stoplord. The Phaeton will be inspected to-day by Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, and immediately the tides permit she will be taken into the fitting-basin to be paid off. It is expected that several of her A.B.'s will volunteer for her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Agamem non, of 91 guns and 500-horse power, Captain Sir Tho mas Maitland, as several of them have previously served with some of the officers of the Agamemnon on foreign stations in other ships. It is a wellknown fact that men-of-war sailors always show, a desire to follow cer tain officers, entirely setting aside the rating of the ship. At present very few A. B.'s have volunteered for the Agamemnon ' • her present deficiency in her complement is among her A. B.'s. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-sloop Barracouta, Commander George Parker.—The coiirt of inquiry on the clerk of this sloop was adjourned on Saturday last, and they will assemble to-day for the purpose of proceed ing with the inquiry. _ . _ Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Amphion, Captain Charles G. E. Patey.—lt is reported that thi's frigate is to have two more guns mounted, which will niake her a 36-gun frigate. If so, her complement of seaman will be increased from 28 to 30 men, in addition to her present complement. Her seamen gunners, from her Ma•jesty's ship Excellent, are, with the exception of one or two, the only A.B.'s rated on her books up to this time.' WOOLWICH, JAN. 17: Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir FleetwoOd Broughton Reynold Pellew, K.C.H., leaves England by the next packet, to take command of the naval forces in the East Indies. It is reported in naval circles that Rear-Admiral Corry wishes to give up the command of the Channel Squadron, and, if his wishes are complied with, it is likely he will be appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral Edward Harvey, Admix:al-Superintendent at Malta. In the event of these changes taking place, it is very pro bable Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., will be appointed to command the Channel Squadron. Commander Houston Stewart, who recently resigned CO the command of the Virago ) 'paddle-wheel steam-sloop, serving on the Pacific station, was induced to do so, it is said, owing to ill health. He.is the son of Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart, formerly one of the Lords of the Ad . miralty, and is a most experienced and zealous officer. During the time he has commanded the Virago, he has had several dashing affairs with the pirates, and clever!) captured the Chilians who had planned th e destruction of a vessel and crew. Commander Houston Stewart was promoted to that rank in 1848, and has served as com mander of the Virago since the sth of August, 1851, and, if he is promoted to the rank of post-captain on his arrival in England, has deservedly earned a promotion which his father might have conferred upon him previ ously to his vacating his office as one of the Lords of the Admiralty. DEATH OF COMMANDER HENRY WINGROVIC.—It is our painful duty to record the death of Commander H. Wingrove (1846), who expired at his brother's residence in the City, on Friday evening last, after a service ashore and afloat of upwards of 40 years. Commander Win grove entered the navy during the war, in July, 181.1, and having served the usual period passed for a lieuten ant in 1819; but he did not receive promotion to that rank till 1826, being thus employed 14 years as midship man and mate. He served in the West Indies, the Coast Guard, the North Sea Channel and Irish station, as lieutenant, and bein p• afloat at the brevet of 1846 was made commander, and re-4pOinted to her Majesty's steam-vessel Blazer, *inch he then was commanding as a lieutenant on the relief service in Ireland, under the orders of Vice-Admiral Sir H. Pigot. The services rendered by the late Commander Wingrove during the period of that awful visitation, the Irish famine, with its accompanying sickness and suffering, will never be effaced from the kind recollections of the good people of the coasts of Cork and Kerry, and has ever been with them the theme of grateful acknowledgments. In the hour of trouble, when matters had arrived at starva tion point, sure and certain was the "Old Blazer" to be descried in the offing, braving the broad Atlantic's swelling wave with' its western wint r y bl as t. O ur co lumns at that time gave full details of these events ; and we well remember that the "Blazer's " services were conspicuous with the Alban, Rhadamanthus, Stromboli, Zephyr, and many other of the 40 odd pendants cm the coast of Ireland ; and we beliaie that had Commander Wingrove completed the time required, of which he vas some five or six weeks short, he would have been in cluded in that well-merited promotion sanctioned by th.., government of the day. That excellent First Lord, the late Lord Auckland, had, we believe, a high opinion of Commander Wingrove's zeal ; and no doubt, had he been spared, would have eventually promoted him. Commander Wingrove was appointed to her Majesty's steam-sloop Scourge, and served under Lord Dundonald on the West India station, carrying out his orders with his usual zeal, much to the satisfaction of his lordship, and at the end of her service the Scourge was paid off at Portsmouth in most high and creditable order We could have wished to have recorded this officer's death as a captain instead of that of a commander, but promo tion goes not in the navy by old gradation. CAPTAIN CARPENTER'S SCREW. TRIAL.—On Saturday last a trial was made of Captain Carpenter's little steam boat, constructed at Mr. Green's yard, Blackwall, on an entirely new plan, with two keels and two rudders. She is propelled by means of two oscillating engines entirely separated one from the other, and two screw propellers also quite distinct. She is directed by two rudders aft, instead of one only as formerly. She is of sufficient size to give a correct demonstration of principle, and it is reported that th e pl an answers a d m i ra bl y. The buoy ancy, stability, and capacity of the boat are quite extra ordinary. The rolling and tremulous motion is mu ch diminished compared with the single screw. The shit t of the screw is said to be almost imperceptible, and the speed for so small a power to be very good. The boat leaves the Thames for the Mediterranean on Thursday night. THE DUKE'S PILLAR ON BLAORDOWN HILLS.—A meeting was held, pursuant to requisition, at Taunton, on the 13th inst., to raise funds for the reconstruction and repair of the Wellington Pillar. The High Sheriff took the chair. The resolutions were carried unani mously by a very large assemblage of the nobility and gentry. The Lord-Lieutenant (Lord Portman) moved the first resolution ; in seconding which Mr. B. Esco'tt said there was no Somersetshireman man who followed . the obsequies of the great Duke of Wellington who did not feel very happy that from his soil was derived the noblest lineage and the most renowned of titles. —Somer sctshire County Gazette. COIN SHIPMENTS.—The shipments of coin last week were as follows, viz.: -75,000/. by the Roy a l Ali ce , an d 30,0001. by the Calloe, both for Sydney; 20,0001. by' the Sapphire, for Geelong and Port Philip ; 20,0001. by the Bruunette, and 20,0001. by the Potentate, both fo'r Launceston ; and 21,7671. in specie and jewellery by the' Teviot for the Brazils. The total shipments from the letter ir kingdom for the week are thus raised to about 786,0001., MELBOURNE.—The and there is, consequently, a balance of imports over exports to the extent of between 660,0001. and 670,000. b—ouThrnee,fsollepotewimn 1852 :' — "The expenses here are so enormous that 300/. a-year leaves me with hardly a penny for myself; board following is 26, aa washing ing cost me more than 11. 12s per week, and Is 9s per ,- dozen ; in fact everything is three times as dear as at home, and no doubt, with the thou sands pouring in, will be as much again.
