Mr. BUNN has the honour of announcing to the public at large that, in oonse.qn nee of the two national theatres, Drury-lane and Covent -gar :en, of which he has for many years, jointly and severally, bad h • Management, having both passed into the hands of foreigners, he has entered into an arrangement with the lessee of this theatre, whereby he has become its sole manager, and with the view of su ial b ly - mitting to their approbation e v e r y variety of a ttraction, espec all the popular productions of his recent management, he begs leave to submit the names of many of the eminent performers who will w h o se talents have the honour of appearing be fore them. The artistes, have so long contributed to the public entertainment (at Drury-lane Theatre especially), have, at the sacrifice of every consideration, co of n eideration, consented to devote their services to the Earth era.nce Mr. Bunn's, and the list will altogether comprise a phalanx of names never before attempted to be brought together in such an undertak ing. While the chief aim or the direction will be devoted to the ad vancement of English Opera by native talent, the performances will be interspersed with every other class of entertainment, and while it may appear almost incredible to bring together such an array of ta lent, with comparatively confined means, there will be no advance of prices, but the free-list will be altogether done away with, as it would be an insult to make any gentleman a present of 23. to the Boxes, Is. to the Pit, and 6d. to the Gallery.

A jzi:t..3.70?, * :t.,, , re.16 „z- bientn int LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1847, After a succession of advances and evasions, such as are only habitual among the plenipotentiaries of South America,z_all expectations of an immediate ar mistice between the belligerents on the Rio de La Plata have been utterly and finally dissipated. Monte Video has coquetted with destruction ; it has adven tured upon a sort of apocalyptic role ; it has played between the lairs of the asp and the basilisk. To the mercantile population of England the events which have latterly transpired in the Argentine Republics cannot but be regarded as the ebullition of evil passions, of jealousy, of revenge, of avarice, and of a barbarous and despicable . ambition. It is scarcely possible to consider the course of occurrences since the com mencement of the combined intervention of the British and French diplomatists without sentiments of contempt and indignation. For, remembering that our intervention originated in a solicitude to protect the commerce of English traders in the South American States, and at the same time to terminate, if possible, the sanguinary and demo ralising feuds which had hitherto raged with so much of deadly animosity between the Argentines and Orientals, it is sufficient to arouse our contempt and indignation to perceive the pertinacity with which our most generous intentions have been thwarted, and the insolent contumelies showered upon the emis saries of our Government by the very individuals whose interests they are striving to protect. British intervention has, however, at length ter minated. The barrier heretofore raised between the contending parties situated on the opposite banks of the River Plate has been removed. Lord HownEN has not merely failed in his endea vours to negotiate a reconciliation, but has been de rided by the foreigners and pasquinaded by his fellow-countrymen. Count WALEIVSKI, on the other hand, with the _felicitous stupidity of Dar- FAUDIS, has been mainly instrumental in render ing the negotiations for an armistice abortive, and thereby tending to perpetuate anarchy and bloodshed in those immense and fruitful territories. That some conception may be formed of the ignorant and mali cious tone of popular opinion among the Monte videans, we need only direct attention to the various pieces of local intelligence brought by the Seagull packet, conveying letters from the distracted capital up to J u ly 23. Nothing could be more scurrilous or auda cious in tone than the language adopted towards our Ambassador by the petty gamblers in the commercial speculations of South America, the smaller fry of the Capel-court of Monte Video. Their hearing, indeed, is so outrageous in its impertinence that it would; be eminently worthy of chastisement, were it not so extravagantly imbecile as to excite indifference. The foreign cut-throats, it is true, have proceeded to such lengths as to become, in a certain degree, formidable, having organized a conspiracy to assassinate the Pleni potentiary of Great Britain. The mercantile malcontents are scarcely more worthy of consideration than an insur gent army would be, composed of men with pot-hooks instead of arms, and wooden pins instead of the ordi nary legs allotted to humanity. One gentleman satisfies his purulent animosity by scrawling an illi terate lampoon upon the walls of the Custom-house, against Lord flowners and Sir TIIONIAS HERBERT. Another petulant blusterer forwards a communication to the roble Lord, giving up his nationality, because of what he conceives to be " the disgrace brought upon England by a WHITELOCIE, a MANnEviu,s, and ft HARDEN." it is pleasant, however, to know that! the response conceded by the Noble Plenipotentiary to the latter impertinence was b the _tact that should similar insults be per- S THE SUN, ✓ sisted in, steps would be formally taken to have the said correspondent horsewhipped. That, we take it, is an ingenious method of putting down any obstre perous antagonists worthy of the combined genius of Sir PETRR LAURIE and the Hon. and Gallant Gen tleman the Member for West Gloucestershire. Meanwhile, in the midst of these heartburnings and vituperations, the commerce of the Rio de la Plata is stunted, and the energies of its inhabitants diverted, by marauding adventures, and a lying system of diplomacy, to the perpetration of butcheries or the abasement of the national disposition. " The intervention on the part of England is at an end. Would to GOD it bad never commenced !" is the ejaculation of a writer at Buenos Apes. We could heartily sympathise in the spirit of that ejaculation, when we considered the insouci ance evinced by the Monte Videans, the abortive nego tiations of our diplomatists, the ungrateful insolence of the resident traders, and the continued hatred still maintained between the Argentines and Orientals. Much, nevertheless, of the odium of the recent failure in regard to a six months' armistice is due to the blundering egotism of the Count WALuwsKI, a plenipotentiary who has imbibed a very agreeable proportion of perverseness from the principles advo cated by the quidnunc VARELA. Whether those principles will be ultimately triumphant, it is just now impossible to conjecture. The futurity of that divi sion of the South American continent can scarcely be more deplorable or ruinous—however frightful may be the catastrophes in store for the population—than the protracted evils which have rendered the last eighteen months of its history so remarkable. Time may prove that the most ruthless slaughters cannot be ' more destructive to national commerce, or national independence, than the protracted miseries of a cora , pulsory armistice. Mr. POULETT SCHOPE, the zealous and indefatigable advocate for the reclamation of die waste lands of Ireland, has published a second letter to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the object of which is to show " that Ire land is by no means overpeopled, and that even her most seemingly overcrowded districts might, by wise arrangements, be made to support in comfort their entire population." In this opinion we fully concur. We have repeatedly cited the statements of compe tent authorities in support thereof, but even a cursory view of the enormous resources of that sadly neglected country, which might so readily be rendered available, will satisfy any disinterested inquirer of the truth of the assertion, and convince him that there is an ample field for the profitable employment of every able-bodied labourer, who, under a judicious system, would become one of the most valuable members of society, the pro- ducer and creator of national wealth, the consumer of our manufactures, and a contributor to the national exchequer, in place of being an encumbrance and a burden to the land, whom it is desirable to get rid of at any cost, and in any manner. Mr. SCROPE selects two cases as illustrations of his argument — the one of a townland, and the other of a county. It would scarcely be possible to discover in all Ire land stronger cases, or those more favourable to the views of the advocates for an extensive national system of emigration, as the only means by which Ireland can be permanently relieved from her dis tressed condition, and elevated in the social scale. In the first instance, the townland of Monaduff, measur ing less than 150 acres, is inhabited by more than 300 human beings. Neither rent nor rates can be collected, the entire produce being insufficient for the support of the numbers located thereon, " but yet the district possesses within itself mountain, bog, and marsh, with an inexhaustible supply of lime stone, more than enough, if brought into cultivation, to sustain five times its present amount of population." So says Mr. DEVITT, the chairman of the board of guardians, by whom a memorial was forwarded, containing the names of some thirty or forty families, who pray ed to be assisted to emigrate, or to be re moved anywhere, to prevent their continuing to starve one another. Such a case, however, strong it may be, does not furnish so fair a test as that of a larger district. It speaks strongly of the culpable and un wise neglect of those who suffered their properties to be reduced to so melancholy a condition, while they refrained from gathering the mines of wealth—the stores which nature had scattered with a prodigal hand at their very thresholds, until they be came involved in one common ruin with the unfortunate people whose destinies were com mitted to the charge of such unworthy guardians. A county, however, possesses a large number of dif ferent owners of the soil, in various positions and cir cumstances, and of different ranks and grades in so ciety. A fair average of good and bad may be looked for amongst them, and the condition of the people generally may be regarded as presenting the best illustration for a comparison of what has been effected and what omitted, what done and what left undone. The county of Mayo is probably an extreme case. In all the tales of Irish misery and Irish sufferings it is referred to as an example. 'With the single excep tion of ill-fated Skibbereen and the surrounding dis- tricts, it was in Mayo that the greatest destitution was to be found, that the sufferings of the people were most pitiable, and that the greatest loss of life in pro- portion to the numbers of the people took place, from the combined effects of pestilence and famine. Yet in this very county Mr. Sc ROPE shows that if the lands which, according to the report of Mr. GRIFFITH, could be reclaimed with profit (and it should be borne in mind that that eminent engineer prepared that report with reference to an Act which declared that the minimum annual return consequent on the outlay should be at least ten per cent. to warrant an advance), there would be an average of twelve acres of cultivated land for each family, besides the run of four or five acres more of rough mountain or bog for their cattle, and turf digging. Surely it is absurd to say, when such is the fact, that Mayo could not amply support its entire population. Although we agree with Mr. SCOPE in believing that the reclamation of the waste lands, together with an improved and better cultivation of those lands which are already under tillage, afford the best and most obvious means for the regeneration of Ireland, there are many other matters which should not be lost sight of in taking account of the measures that should be introduced to the Legisla ture. Many projects have from time to time been put forward from which, although they might not entirely fulfil the sanguine expectations of their originators and supporters, much that is valuable might be extracted. The fisheries—an increased quantity of land d evo t e d t o th e cu ltivation of flax—an extension of the linen manufacture—will all be attended with the most benefi c i a l resu l ts, an d every thi ng b y which the industrial resources of the country may be more fully developed and brought into operation, should be well considered, and every possible facility given to its adoption. Every law by which improve ment is retarded, should, if possible, be got rid of, and remedies provided where it is impossible wholly to change the law. The chief causes of the evils that have sprung up are undoubtedly the embarrassments and encuthbrances by which many—indeed, by far the greater number—of the landed proprietors are affected. and the strictness of the entails and the limited estates which the nominal owners possess in the proper ties of which they have only the life interest. The only manner by which this evil can be averted is, first, by permitting an easy and speedy transfer of the encumbered properties, permitting the balance of the fund realised by the sale, after the satisfaction of every charge affecting the lands, to belong to the remainder-men, in place of the lands themselves; and, secondly, by allowing every sum of money expended in permanent and valuable improvements on the land by the tenant for life, or other owner of a limited estate, to become a charge on the inheritance, and be legally assignable; so that it would consti tute a sufficient security to those who would advance the amount necessary to effect them. By these means and al so b y encourag i ng improvements '.;y the occupiers, by securing them full compensation in the event of their rents being raised, or their being turned out of the possession of their holdings within a certain period, the necessary stimulant would be applied, the waste lands cultivated, the na tural fertility of the soil taken due advantage of, and the name of "an Irish landlord " would no longer be regarded as a term of reproach and disgrace. Accounts from Pesth of the 11th state, that among the instructions given by the assembly of that county to its representatives in the General Assembly of Hungary, are the following:— " 1. The complete equality of all citizens before the law, the publicity of the judicial debates, and the judgment by jury in all criminal affairs, not excepting political crimes. " 2. The formation of a Court of Cessation like that of France. " 3. The abolition of forced labour and all imposi .ons of the like nature, which will be replaced by numerical contributions. " 4. The establishment of a general bank, destined to assist commerce and industry. " 5. The right for each village to be reprosentiedby two members in the county assembly, of which it forms part." The Austrian Minister at Rome, Count DE LIITZOW, has presented a note to the Pontificial Government in reply to the protest against the occupation of Ferrara, in which Austria contends that the 103 d article of the treaty of Vienna has given her a right to garrison that town. " The word place' used in that article," says the Austrian note, " leaves no doubt as to that right. The town of Ferrara, being surrounded with ram parts, forms, w ith the citadel, what is called the Place of Ferrara, which Austria, in virtue of the treaty of 1815, possesses the right to garrison.' The Cabinet of Vienna next contends that, It is the in terest of the Roman as well as the Austrian Govern ment, and the population of Ferrara, that the service of the place should be performed with order and re gularity. The attempt made against Captain Janko• witch by the anarchi,ts proved the necessity of patrols for the preservation of order.' The Emperor further declares that, Not considering the protest of the Cardinal Legate as founded in law, and finding, more over, in the last manifestations which took place at Ferrara, an additional motive for the garrison to con form strictly to the rules of prudence, the Marshal Count Radetzki, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial troops in Lombardy, had been instructed to maintain entire the rights of the garrison of Ferrara, the ex ercise of which, moreover, was, in a military point of view, indispensable to its security.' The imperial Court next blames the Cardinal Legate for recur ring to a notary to draw up his protest,' and adds, that 'the Secretary of State having thought proper to communicate that document to all the members of the corps diplomatique, the Aulic Cabinet had felt equally obliged to communicate to the different Courts its reply to his protest.' " A letter from Naples of the 19th announces the defeat of the royal troops under the orders of General , NUNZIANTE, by the Calabrian insurgents, in the neighbourhood of Gerace. ROMEO, the insurgent commander, proposed an exchange of prisoners, to which General NUNZIANTE replied it was too late, as he had caused all the rebels he had taken to be shot. ROMEO immediately ordered all his own prisoners to be shot. - Vv Count BRESSON, the new French Ambassador to Naples, will visit Milan, Turin, Florence, and Rome en route. He is charged with a diplomatic mission by the KING of the FRENCH to each of these Courts. La Speranza announces thet a popular demonstra tion in honour of the PorE took :place at Malta, in which the English took part. The cries raised were " Viva the independence of Italy 1" " Viva Pigs IX. 1" Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived. On the 20th a number of projects of law relative to the national property called proprios, the tariff, the clergy, &c., were submitted to the Council by Senor SALAMANCA. They will be published in the Gaceta of the 25th, it is said. General LINAGE has, it is said, left Madrid on a mission to General ESPARTBRO. The Heraldo, and other organs of the Afrancesado party, continue their attacks on Mr. BULWER. It is said that a reconciliation has taken place be tween NARVAEZ and SERRANO, and that negotiations are going on to bring about a reconciliation between SALAMANCA and NARTAEZ. CORDOVA and Ros DE OLANO are exerting themselves to bring about this fusion, in which case NARVAEZ would be appointed President of the Council. Skirmishes are daily taking place in Catalonia be tween the QUEEN'S troops and the Carlists. In the event of the return of ESPARTERO to Spain, it is said that he will not come to Madrid, but reside on his property at Logrono. MADRID BOLSA, SErT. 21.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26i for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 16i ; the Five per Cents. stt 171-; the Debt without Interest at 5 ; and the Coupons at 14. After the close of business the Three per Cents. fell to 26, cash. We have:received the Paris papers of Sunday, in which the controversy cn the appointment of the Due D'AumALE to Algeria is continued. The only passage on this subject worthy of extract is the following from the National in reply to the assertion of the Daats, that a Prince of the blood will be to the full as responsible to the Ministry and to the country as any other officer would be. The National says But suppose for a moment that a Minister of War be found courageous enough to give formal orders to a Royal Ilighness ; suppose that such a phenomenou of a Minister should carry his intre pidity to the point of daring to reprimand such a per sonage, when guilty of some political or administra tive lapsus ; if the Prince should persist in a dis astrous system—should heap fault on fault, imperti nence on impertinence; if he should compromise the future prospects of the colony; if, in a word, there should be no other course possible but to remove the Prince, will your model Minister, or can he, remove this fatal instrument of the Government existing in the another country ? Why, the unfortunate man would be removed a hundred times over before the other would be once. Where would he find support? Would he demand from the King to sign the dismissal of his son, and to deliver to him a public certificate of incapacity ? Could he reckon on the Chamber—on that majority before which the name of any member of the Royal Family cannot be pronounced without making the sign of the cross, as if in worship ? The poor man, if he has any spirit and firmness, will have nothing else to do but to resign. No; when the system makes itself double, in order to encircle Algeria in its all-powerful action, it is not for the purpose of exposing itself to checks, which though experienced at a distance, and in the person of one cf its instruments, would not be felt by it the less acutely. We even go further, and affirm, that if in nominating the Duka d'Aumale to the government of Algeria, it could be for a moment imagined that the Prince should be exposed to the remonstrances of a Minister, and to the destruction which menaces every functionary that is incapable or faithless, most undoubtedly the appointment would never have been made. But what use is there in discussing such evident truths? In such a case demonstration is su perfluous. It is sufficient to state that a son of Louis Philippe is appointed Governor of Algeria for the good sense of the hearer to at once exclaim—he will be irresponsible." The Journal des Dd)als confirms the intelli gence which we gave yesterday from the Zeitungs Halle, that the Austrian Government, in consequence of the remonstrances of a deputation headed by the Arch .Duke Louis had revoked the order forbidding the purchase of railroad shares by the Sinking-fund Administration. The Sinking-fund Administration will consequently con tinue to purchase shares at the market price. " That decision," says a German journal, " excited a great enthusiasm on the Bourse." The Administration of the Sinking-fund bought to the amount of 15,000,000 and upwards. The following official announcement of the death of COLETTI appears in the illoniteur Parisien:— " Government received, this morning, intelligence of the death of M. Coletti, who expired at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 12th inst. M. Piscatory, Minister of France at Athens, in a dispatch dated the 10th inst., gave to the Minister for Foreign Affairs an account of the progress of the malady." According to the Presse, M. PISCATORY is using all his influence to procure the appointment of RIGAS PALAMIDES As successor to COLETTI. GRIZIOTIS has had his arm amputated, and is recovering. The Turkish authorities of Scio have shown him every attention. Accounts were received at Oran on the 18th of the defeat of the forces of ADD-EL-KADER by those of the Emperor of Moaocco at Tazato Fez. The EMIR was compelled to retreat, and hail, it was said, de manded an interview with the Lieutenant of the EMPEROR. It was rumoured on Sunday in Paris that the French loan would be publicly announced on the following day, and that it would be for 150,000,000 f. only. There was a rise in the funds in the Passage de l'OpC,ra on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were done at 751. 80c. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 22.—Marseillos and Avignon, 5104'.; Northern, 507 f. 50e.

Seles 3 000 bales, including 2,500 bales American at 64,1. to 70., and'3oo Surat at 4a. to 411 per lb. Reit way Shares were not so good, owing to the further rumours of failures. There are ship arrivals from Australia, end dates of May 1 have come to hand. The colonies seemed to be in a satisfactory position; there was no over-trading, and the Government revenue was in a favourable position. The claims of Cochin to the favourable consideration of the Indian Government, that it may be afforded greater facilities for trade, and especially as respects the development of the cotton cultivation, so interesting at the present time, are well set forth in a memorial from the British merchants to Sir John llobhouse. It is stated that — "The town of Cochin, viewed with reference to the other farts of the lion. Company's territories, is a per fectly isolated spot, surrounded as it is by the native states of Travancore and Cuchin, from which the greater portion of its exportable commodities is procured. These states being considered foreign, the trade of this port is necessarily crippled by the heavy protective duties now leviable in England, and under existing cir cumstances no improvement cell be anticipated. An assimilation however, of duties, on the produce of these native states with those lc vied on articles the groa th and manufacture of Mysore, would be fraught with im meme advantages to Cochin, which would then be raised from its present insignificance to a high position among the ports of India. Your petitioners, ill conclusion, will only, therefore, express a hope that your Honourable Board will listen to their prayer. and do away with the present restrictions on the commerce of these native states, by which their resources will be developed, and a wide field opened for European enterprise, energy and capital. And your petitioners will, as in duty bound, ever pray." The embarrassment of a West India house has been a topic of conversation this morning, but it is hoped the liabilities will not be so extensive as they would have been in former years, when the house stood very high. A firm in th© Portuguese trade is also in difficulties, and the liabilities will no doubt be considerable. Messrs. Bensusan, in the Morocco trade, are said to have been literally " knocked down" by the stoppage of other parties; and Messrs. Cockburn, the army te4ents, of Whitehall, who also did business in a small way as bankers, were brought to a stand by a sudden demand, although the house was undoubtedly weak, and might have ex perienced of late a diminution in its deposits. The probable dividends from the larger firms which have lately stopped will, it is said, be very trifling. The Stock Market is looking flatter, though with very little business doing, real or speculative. Consols for present transfer have been 85i 1. and for time 851 1 ; Consols Scrip has been done at 24 discount. The pre 'mium on Exchequer- bills has been 7s. to 3s.

The name of Sir Isaac Lionel Goldsmid, Bart., was objected to by the Conservatives. From the evidence of Sir Isaac, it appeared that he was joint lessee, with Alderman Thompson and Mr. Robertson, of certain premises situated at No. 38, Broad-street-buildings, at an annual rent of 701., which were occupied by the Santiago Mining Com pany, of which the claimants and the other lessees were directors, and to whom that company was liable for the payment of the rent. He used the premises fer the transaction of his own private business as well as for the business of the company. He had no separate office for himself upon the premises. if the company did not pay the rent he would, with the other lessees, be held liable for the rent, and in default of those two gentlemen paying he would be himself held liable. Mr. S. Smith held that this case was precisely similar to that of Bright, Cobden, and others, and the offices of the Anti-Corn-law League, where the premises were taken by lease in the name of Bright, Cobden, and others. There was no question but that the offices were used for the general purposes of the association, but it was held that the occupation of this association was only permissive, the lessees being the parties liable for the payment of the rent. The Court took the same view of the case, and ordered the name to be retained on the list. WE bT.Au.N STE R. The revising Barrister, Francis Bayley, Esq., sat in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Westminster-hall this morning, for the purpose of revising the list of voters for I%restminster. Mr. Huggett represented the Liberal interest. The Conservatives were not represented. The only case of importance that occurred during the morning was with reference to the name of Mr. Joseph Smith, who claimed a vote for a house in Crown-street, St. Anne's parish. It appeared that he paid the rates and taxes, and let out the house to loigers, but that he only occupied a cellar, which he estimated at the yearly value of 2/. 12s. The cellar he used for the purpose of stowing away bricks, mor tar, and other materials required for repairing that and other houses belonging to him. The Overseers objected to the claim, on the ground that using the cellar in the manner described did not amount to an occupancy. The REVISING BARRISTER thought that the claim ought to be disallowed, but took time to consider his decision. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT: (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman WooD.) FELONIOUSLY CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—George Land, an engineer, was indicted for feloniously cut ting and wounding Jane Reid, with intent to do her some grevious bodily harm. The jury found the prisoner guilty of a violent as sault, but not with intent to do grievous bodily harm. 'The RECORDER sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, and after the termi natipn of that period, to enter into his own recogni zances, in 401., to keep the peace to all her Majesty's subj ects for three years. The sessions are expected to finish this evening. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The September adjourned sessions, for the county of Middlesex, commenced this morning, at the Court House, Clerkenwell-green, before the Assistant Judge and a bench of magistrates. There appeared the names of 96 prisoners for trial, 89 of whom were charged with felony, and 7 with misdemeanour. The state of instruction amongst the 96 persons for trial were as follows :—Twenty-five were unable to read or write, fourteen able only to read, whilst all the rest were described, without exception, as having learned to read and write imperfectly. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE, in his charge to the Grand Jury, said, in allusion to the small number of what might be properly termed children for trial, he entertained much doubt as to the effects of the alteration made last session of Parliament in the law relating to juvenile offenders, by which a summary power of punishment was conferred upon magistrates. This restoration of the old system of summary punishmepts tended to withdraw from the public eye the tearful and growing evils of juvenile crime, which would alone be likely to be speedily reformed by being publicly tried in courts like this. He perceived by the calendar that there were only two of the age of 14 years, two of 15 years, and four of 11 years of age for trial. Ellen Gascoigne was brought up for judgment, upon her own plea of guilty last sessions, to an indict• ment, charging her with feloniously attempting to destroy herself. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE, after a suitable admonition to the unfortunate prisoner upon the enormity and folly of her attempt, said he had made inquiries respecting her, and found that since she came to London she had fallen into an unfortunate course of life, and that one of the inducing motives to her attempt was the misery she endured. He wished to know whether any of her friends were present ? The prisoner said she had written to her friends, who were in a respectable position in Yorkshire, but she had received no answer from any of them. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, that under all the melancholy circumstances of the case, he thought the best course for the prisoner to adopt would be to get her into an asylum, but as some time must necessarily elapse before that could be done, he should sentence her to be imprisoned for one month. However, he should give directions to the prison officers that she should be treated with every leniency and kindness, consistent with the rules of the prison. The prisoner gratefully thanked the judge, and *as removed from the bar. William James, the individual who, about two months ago, made some infamous charges against an M.P., and who was convicted of an assault at the last session, was brought up for judgment on the latter charge. The prisoner went to the house of the prosecutor, and told his landlady that he was a person of an abo minable character, upon which the prosecutor called at the prisoner's house, when the assault was com mitted with a shoemaker's hone. The jury having expressed doubts as to the character of both parties, the Assistant-Judge deferred judgment that inquiries might be made. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in passing sentence this morning, said that since the last sessions he had re ceived several anonymous letters respecting this case, praising and decrying either of the parties, and he thought it very likely these had been written by themselves or their friends. He was of opinion that so far as worth of character went, both the prosecutor and the prisoner were arcades ambo—six of one and half a dozen of the other; and he believed such was the opinion of the jury who tried the case. Taking all this into consideration, he thought the prisoner had already been sufficiently—perhaps snore than suffi ciently—punished, and he should therefore order him to pay a fine of ls. to the Queen and be discharged. 13p 1 9 1 ,,f 41/i 15 1 / 4 29 % I A P ...._ 83% 67% 101 1 A 17 1 / 2 24 2% 57 39% 8 4 dis 5% 45 ...._ 878 -, ...... 87i 160 25% 10% 4' .

Myers, the constable at the f) ,. atre, stated that on the previous night, about halt pst nine o'clock, was ca led by the check taker to quell a disturbance that had broke out in the pit. On proceeding there, he saw the prisoner, who was surrounded by a number of his " pals," in the act of striking the check taker. Witness went up to the defendant, and requested him to desist. He said that he would see hitn d—d first. Witness then caught hold of him to take him out of the house, whe n he (the prisoner) laid hold of his coat, tore it down the front, and struck him several times on the chest. Witness called for as sistance, and another constable :came to his aid, and, after a scuffle, succeeded in taking him into custody. Joseph James, check-taker at the theatre, said the defendant came into the house at first price. After the second act he left, and on his return he told witness that he had lost his check. Witness told him that he could not let him pass unless he produced the check. The defendant swore that he would pas s, and pushing witness on one side, rushed into the pit, Where he created such a disturbance that witness Was obliged to call the constable to restore quiet, and to take the prisoner out. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, merely said, it was all wrong and a mistake altogether. Mr. HAanwicK thought different, and fined him 20s , or ten days in the House of Correction. THAMES.—(THIS D 4Y.) Thomas Nightingale, a cab driver, No. 2,602 was charged with being drunk on his box and endanger ing tne life of a gentleman.

Mr. YARDLEY—The mere circumstance of his being, drunk on his box rendered him liable to two rann tl3s _ imprisonment with hard labour. As however_ther c te • ; was nothing previously known a g ainst his chara and it was probable he would i d the repair of the cab an expensive affair, he would giv e him the optio of paying a penalty to the Queen of 20s.
