A dramatic version of Dickens's popular work of "Dombey and Son," was produced at this little theatre on Monday evening, with complete success. It is from the pen of Mr. C. P. Taylor. The dialogue of the work is very closely followed, and the situations tell admirably. It would be needless to repeat the plot, as that must be familiar to most of our readers— as far as the work, is published. Mr. C. Williams sustained the character of Mr. Dombey very credit ably. Mr. H. Reeves, as Mr. Carker, was good, as also was the Sol Gills of Mr. Ayliffe ; Walter Gay, of Mr. Tyrrell ; Captain Cuttle, of Mr. Rogerson ; the Charitable Grinder, of Mr. A. Richardson. Miss M. Atkins, as Edith Granger, was excellent. The character of Florence Dombey was very beautifully sustained by Miss Coleman ; the conception of the character by this young lady was very correct, and the tears of the audience attested the truthfulness of her acting—all felt for the poor, neglected, yet beautiful, Florence Dombey. It would be unjust to omit to notice the acting of Mr. H. Cooper, as Mrs. Brown—good Mrs. Brown—it was a picture true to life. The different tableaux were very well managed, and were rewarded by repeated rounds of applause. The best were, " Father and Daughter," " The Christening Party," " Dombey introducing his Daughter," "The Rescue of the Charitable Grinder" —indeed all were good. The piece was well put upon the stage, and was given out for repetition every evening. The ballet of Spirits and Water followed, in which Miss Gilbert, and her clever pupil (Miss Louisa Coleman) danced very gracefully. The house was crowded.

Mr. Sheriff CHALLIS explained the object of the ad journment to eight o'clock, and intimated that the pro ceedings of public interest would not begin till one o'clock, and expressed for his colleague and himself their anxiety and determination to take every means in the discharge of their official duties to ascertain th., exact result of the polling. He had been requested by the several candi dates, and more especially by Lord R. Grosvenor, to re turn thanks to their respective supporters. The candi dates weuld not address the electors, and had not appeared, more than one instance having occurred in which the supposed reFults were not realised when the poll was declared. They would not then anticipate the remarks which might be made on the day of declara tion. He concluded by expressing his hope that the demeanour of the assemblage would continue to be marked throughout the proceedings by an entire absti nence from disorder.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. (From the Manchester Examiner of Tuesday.) The weather having been lowering and occasionally wet in the neighbourhood of Manchester during the last two days, and still showery this morning, the anxiety of the commercial classes to know how the agricultural dis•. tricts were affected, led us to inquire it the Electric Telegraph was yet extended far enough from Manches ter to obtain information from the eastern counties. By the prompt attention of Mr. Cox, the superintendent, inquiries were made at the following places; and answers were returned which we append:— Normanton—fine. Derby—Tery dull. York—fine. Leeds—fine. Nottingham—no rain, but dull and cold. Rugby—rain. Lincoln—moderately fine. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, half-past twelve—fine. Scarborough, quarter to one—fine. Rochdale, one o'clock—tair.

He has one or two woun ds on the head, and. c.ne of his arms, ne ar th e e lb ow, is almost to pieces, so much so that amputation o f the limb cut will be necer.ssary. His opponent made his way down to th e vessel to which he belonged, at the Prince's Dock, and his conditi on being ascertained, be was sent in a car to the Nortb ern Hospital. He has a wound on the side of the head, running in an oblique direction under the chin, about sev en or eight inches in length ; it is of consi derable dr epth, and the head is partially severed from the body ; th e jugular vein has, however, escaped with only a slight F .cratch.

Neither of them can speak a word of English. The knives used on the °coast° n were sailors' clasp knives, but unlike those in use h y our English seamen, having long blades, and points id. The police are on the alert to discover the men who acted as seconds on the occasion, so that some light may he thrown on the affair, and the guilty par ties brought to justice.

We, the commissioners appointed by your Ma jesty for the purpose of inquiring whether advantage might not be taken of the rebuilding of your Ma jesty's Palace at Westminster, wherein your Majesty's Parliament is wont to assemble, for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the fine arts in your Majesty's United Kingdom, and in what manner an object of so much importance might be most effec tually promoted, humbly report to your Majesty, that having on a former occasion, viz., in our report of the 9th July, 1844, proposed that artists should be in vited to enter into a competition in oil• painting, we have now humbly .to state to your Majesty that the competition referred to has taken place, and that the evidence of ability afforded, not only by the works of the successful candidates, but by those of many others, has been most satisfactory to us. We remark that several of the artists who had before distinguished themselves in cartoon-drawing, have shown, by their works exhibited on this occasion, that they are well qualified to execute oil-pictures on a large scale. Several examples of fresco-painting, before exhi bited, justified us, we conceive, in recommending the application of that method in some of the localities in the palace at Westminster ; and the first specimen, executed in the House of Lords by Mr. Dyce, con firmed our opinion of the fitness of such method for certain subjects, situations, and lights. During the recess other artists, selected to execute frescoes in the same locality, will, it is hoped, be enabled to com plete the works committed to them. With respect to sculpture, we have humbly to re port to your Majesty that three statues, of Hampden, Lord Falkland, and Lord Clarendon, for which com missions had, with your Majesty's sanction, been given, are in a forward state ; •and that the execution of those works, the general conception of which had before been approved, is considered by us to be, hitherto, fully satisfactory. We are of opinion that the statues of eighteen barons and prelates (with the alteration of one name), as selected by a committee and enumerated in the appendix to our fourth report, for the niches in the House of Lords, should be cast in metal ; meanwhile we propose that the models for such statues should be forthwith prepared, at the cost of two thousand seven hundred pounds, an expendi ture for which we request the sanction of your Majesty. We have further humbly to report to your Ma jesty, that having in our last report, dated the 14th of August, 1846, expressed our opinion that it is the duty of this Commission, for the better guidance of present and future artists, and in order to maintain a character of harmony and unity in the decorations of the Palace at Westminster, to determine a complete scheme for such decorations, we have accordingly re commended the consideration of this subject to a select committee ; and having received and approved their report, we beg leave to subjoin it to this our general report, and to request the sanction of your Majesty to the same.

BERLIN, AUG. 5. —The sitting of this day was taken up with the interrogation of Bronislaus Da browski. The hearing of this case closed the first part of the criminal proceedings. The counsel for the prosecution then rose, and spoke in support of the accusation. After drawing a rapid sketch of the interrogatories of the accused, Miroslawski, Kosinski, and Bronislaus Dabrowski, he spoke to the following effect :—I have qualified the facts adduced as high treason, and I maintain the accusation. The law says, that any attempt having for its object the overthrow of the constitution of the state, or being directed against the life or liberty of the prince, is high treason. It 'is evident that the present case may be so defined. The object of the attempt was the re-establishment of Poland within the limits which it possessed in the year 1772. It is true, Miroslawski has pretended that the plan was directed against Russia, that it had a po litical and a military object ; but that gentleman in so doing only rests his case upon deductions, not facts. It will be the part of the counsel of the accused to prove that the plan was not directed against Prussia. The accused were to use violent means for separating the Duchy of Posen f rom P russ i a. As regarded the nationality of Miroslawski, his being a Frenchman does not render him the less amenable to the laws of the country against which he has off en d e d. Th e punishment for high treason is thus described in the 93d article of the Prussian code :—" All persona guilty of high treason will be condemned to death, by the most terrible means." It is to be understood by this that no special means of causing death are to be employed. Article 95 bears, that all persons guilty of high treason shall lose not only all their rights as well as their goods and chattels, hut their children will bear the penalty of their crimes, if the State thinks proper to keep them in perpetual impri sonment or send them into exile, in order to avoid future dangers. The court adjourned after hearing i the counsel for Dabrowski. The particulars of the sale .of Shakspere's house, at Stratford-on-Avon, are now published by Mr. Robins. They: contain a full description of this truly interesting property, besides a variety of amusing extracts from authors whose lives. were • devoted to the subject; the pedigree of the family; a plan of the property originally possessed by the Shakspere family, and vignette engrav ings of the exterior and interior of this curious domicile. No pains seem to have been spired to ren der th ese par ticulars complete, and they shoeld be possessed by all who take an interest in the property.

Carter at the Hero of W aterloo Inn, Lambeth, on t h e b ody of usann . Susannah Rose Warren, alias Sarah Wilson, aged 23, who committed suicide b) jumping off the Bridemaid iron steam-boat. The evidence proved that the deceased, who belonged to that class termed unfortunate, lodged with another female of the same class at 13, Newcastle conrt, Strand. On Tuesday week, after being in a state of intoxication for neatly a, week, she went on board the Bridesmaid steamer • at Temple pier, and on the vessel arriving at the Old Swan, Chelgea, the deceased plunged into the water, and although every endeavour was made to save her by the captain and crew on board, nothing was seen of her until Saturday morning last, when her body was found on the shore .of the Thames near Peachey's roads. The. jury, after hearing several wit nesses, returned a verdict " That deceased destroyed her life whilst of unsound mind, resulting from excessive drinking."
