Irl dVel _PAR hi NEW ZEALAND.-.PUBLIC MEETING at, TO THE RIGHT HO MA HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Herald.) Throughout the discussion, the Ministerialist: have inva-, riably taken for granted, that the suppression of the contra band trade in opium is impossible. Mr. Macaulay, iodeed, seemed to claim for his confederates a high degree of merit, on the ground of their having abstained from all attemilts to repress smuggling in that drug. " Irthere were no: smuggling," exclaimed the Hon. Gentleman, " there would be piracy ;" and forthwith he launched into an ela borate description of the horrors of buccaneering. Mr. Macaulay's argument in this matter, however, either goes too far, or does not go far enough. If smuggling be the only alternative against piracy, smuggling in opium ought to be openly encouraged by our Government not merely winked at ; and if, moreover, smuggling be so eminently beneficial in China, smuggling must be bene ficial, in a smaller degree at least, in Englaod. If there be virtue in Mr. Macaulay's logic, Captain ElOot ought to have been the leader of a band of smugglers ; and the pre ventive service on our own coasts ought, assuredly, to be done away with. _ _ No. .14.846 LONDON, THURSDAY, _APRIL 9, 1840.

That I have no agent for the sale of my Medicines in Farringdon-street, London ; but a spurious imitation is most unwarrantably and without my authority sold there, by one Robert Salmon, bearing my name on the Stamp in blue letters, against which and other deceptions I have repeatedly cautioned the public ; and which spurious imitation was made use of by the late Mr. Mallars. 3d. That I am at all times ready (from long experience) to defend the Medicines prepared by me at the British College of Health, London (well knowing their virtue in curing the most obstinate diseases), but cannot be answerable for the conse quences of any Medicines prepared by others and passed off as mine. My name has been most unjustly mixed up with the death of Mr. Mallars, for which serious injury I shall bring the guilty party or parties to justice. JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist.

There was some demand for Russian account; but on the whole, the business done was to a smaller extent than last week, though without change in prices. For goods, on the contrary; there was a somewhat better demand, especially for printing cloths and domestics ; and a fair amount of business was done at the full prices of the preceding Tuesday.—Manchester Guardian.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT FROM ,MACHINERY. —Between the hours of ten and eleven o clock on Tuesday , Bow morning, a most appalling occurrence took place at the manufac tory of Messrs. Hunte r and English,g , Middle sex. A workman on the premises, named John Middleton, aged IS, was engaged in attending to some part of the machi nery which is used in the business, when his clothes became entangled in the cylinder of a steam engine, and he w as w hi r l e d round several times. The p oor fel l ow s cries brought some o f the men to his assistanc e, and on his being extricated from his dreadful situation, it was found that both his legs w ere crus h ed and other parts of his pers on seriously injured. He was imme diately conveyed to the London Hospital,. Mile-end-road, where, as the only probable means of . saving life, amputation of the limbs was at once performed, which the sufferer underwent with the most wonderful fortitude,. scarcely uttering a groan. He now remains in'a very precarious state. DEER HUNT EXTRAORDINARY.---WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, a d r ill party of the second battalion of the Rifle Brigade, und er th e command of Captain Clegg , were exercised in the Long -walk. They were accompanied by the fine deer which has long be en attached to the brigade, and which was grazing during the time the party were being drilled. Mayna rd, t he su p e rintendent of her Majesty's favourite dogs , was proceeding toward s Windsor, accompanied by her Majesty's celebrated Scotch deer- dog ,' a breed partaking largely of the blood-hound, mix e d w i t h the greyhound. The hound immediately started off after the deer, which it pursued at a tremendous pace through the great gates into Park-street, along th e H i g h-street, and d own Peas cod-street, at the corner of w hic h it knocked down a poor man with considerable violence, causing a concussion of the brain by his head coming in contact with the curb-stone. He was immediately attended by Dr. Stanford and Mr. S o l ey , sur geons, and, after the lapse of a short period, his s sense re turned, and he was conveyed h ome. The deer, pursued by the dog, continued its course through Peascod-street, t owar d s Clever, where it was caught in a ditch, the hound severely lacerating its ears and near fo re le g , and from which it was with difficulty rescued with its life. The deer, by the orders of the colonel, was conveyed to the hospital of the barracks, where it was " bled and physicked," and it is now pronounced to be out of danger. WORKS BY J. C. LOUDON, &c.

This is by far the best of the " Guides to Service ;" containing not merely full instructions touching the duties of a groom, from stable-helper to the pinnacle of his profession, but plain directions for riding, driving, choosing, and treating horses. The chapters on the " points" of the animal, and the different objects to be considered according to the work required from him, are valuable practical hints. It is not a groom's guide, but a jockey's vade mecum.—Spectator. We have, of late, had divers questions put to us as to the best mode of managing horses in sickness and in health—and in this little volume now before us we find satisfactory answers, written in a plain and familiar style, but full of solid information, evi dently from the pen of a gentleman fully and practically ac quainted with his subjects. Earnestly do we recommend it to the perusal of master as well as man—to the former, that he may know what ought I o be done by his servant ; to the latter, that he may know how to do it. Driving be double or single harness —riding, and the general treatment of horses, are all intro duced ; in fact, everything calculated to enlighten a novice in the manag ernent of his horses is clearly laid down, so that he who runs may read—and no man canbe entrusted with the ma nagement of a horse, or in the possession of one, who can read, ought to be without it.—Bell's Life in London.

ALLEGED DEATH FROM MORI- SON'S PILLS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ste—l am sure that your sense of justice will at once lead you to contradict the above report, inasmuch as Morison's Pills IS ere not used by the deceased Mr. Mallars. It appears from the evidence on the inquest, that the so-called Morison's Pills taken by Mr. Mallars were pur chased of a person of the name of Salmon, in Farringdon street, who, without any authority whatever, attaches my name on the boxes, and also upon the stamps, in blue letters, to medicines of his own manufacture, of which I know nothing, in order to pass them off on the public as Morison's Pills ; against which deception I have repeatedly cautioned the public. As Morison's Pills were not used on the above occasion, it is quite unnecessary for me to en ter further into the case. I trust you will see the necessity of giving this letter immediate insertion.

EGYPT. - -s.- " ALEXANDRIA, MAncit 22, 1840.—My letter of the 16th instant will have informed you of the arrival of the Hajji Baba steamer, from Leghorn, here on the 14th in stant, bringing the pleasing news that the impolitic alliance between Great Britain and Russia had been broken off. I regret this news, which was so welcome to every good-wisher of his country and mankind, has not been confirmed by the arrival of the English steamer on the 19th instant. I believe the notice of motion was made by Mr. Hume in the House of Commons ; I trust it will lead to the speedy alteration in the miscalled policy of Lord Pal merston with respect to the Eastern question. I shall look out most anxiously for this discussion, because theie are se veral Members besides Mr. Hume who can speak from their personal knowledge of the Pacha, his system, and goveri: - ment, and contrast the improved state of this country with what it was under the rule of the Turks. I cannot believe my self that Great Britain has formed any alliance with Russia; because I cannot imagine that Lord Palmer ston would be so insane as to form such an alliance. You may rely upon it, the wisest plan for England to adopt is to allow the Porte and the Pacha to settle their differences, which they would soon accomplish if left alone. I hr.ve the fullest reliance in the mo deration and forbearance of the Pacha ; at the same time I am convinced that if any attempt is made to coerce him, he will resist to the uttermost, although I cannot doubt that if pursued by England and Russia he must yield, but it will be after he has occasioned immense expense to them and sacrifice of human life. Should any attack take place, I much fear the position of the British, as it will be made a religious war— Mussulmen against Christians. The Pacha returned from Cairo on the 13th instant, only being absent six days. He is in excellent health and full of activity, fre quently reviewing the troops and fleets. I cannot say much for the Sultan's sailors ; they form a wide contrast to Me hemet Ali's, both in discipline and general conduct ; their hatred to the Christians, and the frequent insults they offer to Europeans, surpass all description. I should be very sorry that any rupture with England should take place while they arc here, for I am sure they would make an attempt to massacre the Frank popu lation. We hare had several cases of plague, but withal the morality is not greater than usual. Ex change on London 74 at three m "labs. I have just heard of the arrival of the Gorgon steamer ; she comes from the fleet, but it has not yet transpired what news she brings, and as the mail leaves immediately. I cannot let you know in time. The Indian mail arrived here on the 21st inst., with Bombay papers to the 29th ult. The cotton of the new crop keeps coming down slowly ; the stock is now about 22,000 bales, and the quality very superior. The Government are decided upon asking 17 dollars per baulin ; this high price cannot, 1 think, be maintained, as • the prices in England would render a loss upon consign ments ; however, they seem very firm.-:--Morning Ad vertiser. , NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.). PORTSMOUTH.-The naval obituary for the quarter end ing 31st March, exhibits the demise of five Admirals, six Captains, thirteen Commanders, sixteen Lieutenants, six Masters, eight Surgeons, two Surgeons' Assistants, and eleven Pursers. In the corps of Royal Marines are one Major-General, two Majors, two Captains, and three First Lieutenants. The Hermes steam vessel, Lieutenant Blount, has passed by for Woolwich, from the Mediterranean, having landed Mr. William Knapman, Purser, invalided from the Rodney, 92, with other supernumeraries. The corvette Pearl, 20, Commander Frankland, is at Spithead, completing her complement of men and stores, and awaiting despatches for Rear- Admiral ROSS at the Brazils, and for Commodore Sullivan, Captain Jenki❑ Jones, to rejoin his ship, Curacaa, 24, with Lieutenants Marcuard and Cox, for the President and Stag frigates, who will take passage in the Pearl. A court Martial has been held at Plymouth on Mr. Strong, Acting Master of the Skylark packet, on charges of disrespect, to Lieutenant Ladd, his Commander, which terminated in Mr. Smith being admonished to be more careful in future. The Vanguard, 84, paid off by Captain Sir Thomas Fellowes, is taken into the dock lately occupied by the Queen, 110, and is re-commissioned by Commander Hutton, for Captain Sir David Dunn, 1814, to return to the Mediterranean. The naval world is big with expectation for the Report of the Commission, so long deferred. Some imperfect details are already known, but the entire proceedings will be promulgwed during the present week. The Rodney, 92, Commodore Parker, C. 8., left Malta, for Plymouth, 12th March, to be paid off, having been upwards of four years and a half in commission. It is understood that the gallant officer will have the Superin tendency of Woolwich dock yard. The Cambridge, 78, Captain Barnard, and brigantine Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Littlehales, arc expected from the river about Tuesday, the 14th instant ; the former on her way to Lisbon, and the latter for the West African station. The troop ship Jupiter, recently returned from Ceylon, has been paid off, and re-commissioned by her former Commander, Mr. Robert Fulton, Master, R. N. Accounts from Barbadocs state that the troop-ship Athol, Mr. Bellamy, Master, arrived in Carlisle Bay, all well, on the 18th January, and having re-victualled, proceeded with the Lord Bishop to Trinidad, on her way to Jamaica. The Pantaloon, 10, Lieutenant Tryon, has returned to her cruizing ground off the Kentish and Sussex coast. AT SPITEIFII7 —Pearl, 20, corvette.

CONVICTION FOR CONSPlRACY.—Yesterday' John Lillywhite, farmer at Windsor, and Edward Alford At kins, farmer, in the p arish of Eton, were char g ed before Sir Thomas F. .Abrey, Bart., and a full Bench of Magistrates of Buckinghamshire, at Quarter Sessions, at Aylesbury, with hav ing conspired to carry away Mary Wilder, Hannah Wild er , an d John Wilder , wit h the view o f defeating the ends of justice, and to prevent them from appearing as witnesses on the trill of John Atkins, for rape, at the late Aylesbury Assizes. The p r i soners pleaded guilty to the indictment. The Bench retired for about ten minutes, and directed that each of the prisone rs s h ou ld pay to the Queen a fine of 401 . , and be imprisoned till the fine was paid. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL 7. (Before Mr. Sergeant Adams.) EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS (with whom was Mr. CLARKSON) said he was instructed to apply to the Court for leave to exhibit articles of the peace against a lady under circumstances of a somewhat extra ordinary kind. The CHAIRMAN—Have the parties on whose behalf ycu apply been before a Magistrate ? Mr. PHILLIFS replied in the affirmative, and added that the Magistrate, on hearing their statement, ordered the de fendant to find two sureties in 1001. each to appear at the Sessions, to answer any charge that might be preferred against her. The CHAIRMAN said that in cases where that prelimi nary step had not been taken he had a great objection to allowing articles of the peace to be exhibited. Mr. C. PHILLIPS then tendered the articles, and they were read by the deputy clerk of the peace. Isaac Sutton Cooper, Esq., of Park Hall, Finchley (the exhibitant), stated that on the 15th of February las his brother Robert Jones Cooper, Esq., came to at his residence, as above, and said that he had Sren from his home, at Tulse-hill, by violence, to which his wile, Jane Cooper; was a party. That be was unwilling artd.efraid to return home, and he besought exbibitart tto &fiord him shelter and protection in his house, and which he consented to do. That on the 17th of February exhibitant accompanied his said brother Robert Jones Cooper to his house at Tulse hill, for the purpose of enabling him to get possession of some title deeds, as well as personal property of his, that was there; but that they were unable to do so in eon: e quenca of the violent conduct of his wife, who, on ascer taining the object of their visit, said she would burn all the deeds and take care that they should be of no avail to him, upon which his said brother returned with ex hibitant to Finchley, and had continued to reside there with him from that time to the present, and that lie hal taken the necessary proceediegs to obtain a separa tion from his wife. That on Friday, the 27th of March, he was at home, when Mrs. Jane Cooper, accom panied by another female and a Mr. Williams, her solici tor, called in a carriage, and on their alighting Mrs. Cooper demanded to be shown into the room where her husband was; and, on being told that he would not. see her, she became very violent, and rushed into the drawing-room, and taking up a footstool dashed it at a valuable mirror, which was shivered to pieces by the blow. The exhibitant endeavoured to "Ilia her, when she took up a poker and aimed a blow at ;Lim with it, but which did not take effect in con sequence of his gardener suddenly pulling him backwards out of reach of the blow intended for him. The depo sition of the io•yants of the exhibitant was to the effect that Mrs. Cooper afterwards broke the hall lamps and several plate glass wirLlws, two looking-glasses, the glass of the book-case in the ;brary, and that she repeated this conduct, declaring that she would continue breaking everything that came in her way ,D 1 she saw her hus band, who had at the time of her arm al locked himself Th . e attorney in a room to escape from her violence. who was with her did not attempt to restrao her vio lent conduct, and on being remonstrated Oh on this subj.ict, said, " You knew her violent enl per, and what you had to expect, and he dared an; of them (the servants) to interfere with her." He then said to the lady, " You promised me you would not do any damage. If I had known you would have done this, I would not have come with you." He afterwards said to her, " Now you are in the house you may break everything in it if you like." At length a policeman was sent for, to whom the attorney said, " It is a mere family affair, and I dare you to interfere in it. lam a solicitor. I came with the lady to prevent her from doing' any damage, but I afterwards found I could not restrain her." The articles concluded with a statement on the part of the exhibitant that the damage done to his furniture, &c., by the lady's violent conduct, amounted to 2.50/. ; that he considered his life and property to be in danger from her violent conduct, to prevent a renewal of which he had some policemen stationed near his house night and day ever since, and that he did not exhibit the articles from any feelings of malice or ill-will towards the defendant. The CHAIRMAN hesitated, but ultimately allowed the articles to be exhibited, and ordered that the defendant should find two sureties in 1001. each to keep the peace for twelve months. Mr. C. Johns, on behalf of the lady, tendered two ger amen as sureties, who were irnmediat:ly accepted, and ,hus this extraordinary case terminated. ' SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

Steamers and other vessels from the eastward should keep the light house, shut in by Poolhead, in order to pass safely in side of her, otherwise should keep well off.

The following has been received at Lloyd's, dated-- Council Office, Whitehall, April, 7, 1840. SIR,--I am directed by the Lords of the Council to transmit to you an extract of a despatch received from her Majesty's Consul at Elsinore, relating to Quarantine, and to request that you will be pleased to lay the same before the Chairman of the Committee of Lloyd's for the information of the merchants trading to the Baltic. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. Dobson, Esq. C. GREVILLE. Extract of a despatch from H M. Consul at Elsinore, dated 16th March, 1840, with notice from the Board of Quarantine, of 13th March, 1840. " The following places in the Levant, viz., Alexandria, Damietta, Constantinople, Smyrna, thelsland and of Candie - along with Tullis, Tripoiis, and Morocco; t follow ing places in the United States, viz., New Orleans, Pen sacola, and Mobile, have been infected by plague or other wool and contagious diseases, in consequence which,of those places, other enumerated articles, the growth arriving from England, will be Inadeset b t to the peb}'certificales I,rmanee of quarantine, unless accompa nied from the proper officers, made out in the prescribed form." The Duke of Cleveland, who is indisposed, is now staying at his villa, West Humble, near Dorking, (From the Morning Chronicle.) The House was again occupied last night with the un profitable discussion on Sir James Graham's motion. The debate was adjourned, and it would not surprise us if it were to last to the end of the week. In a few short sen tences delivered in explanation by Sir George Staun ton, after Mr. Thesiger had concluded his long professional pleading, the merits of the question were completely disposed of. " The grounds," he said, "on which he opposed this -motion were, that ' he could see no connection between the rupture with China, and any act of omission or commission on the part of her Majesty's Government." Has any man the audacity—has even the Right Hon. Baronet dared—to say that what has taken place could possibly have been prevented? Sir George added, "He did not object to the sanguinary laws to be administered by Mr. Commissioner Lin gene rally, but he did object to such laws being acted upon retrospectively against those who had come to China on thefuith of the old law." This is the language of sound common sense. The country will understand it. But because Sir James Graham chooses to spin a long yarn out of a multitude of particulars of which no one can see the possible bearing on the question, the country, forsooth, must be subjected to the infliction of a week's debate about nothing, to the interruption of the business of the country. ( From the Times.) In the legal disposal of the Clergy Reserves question in Upper Canada there probably may not be much diffi culty. In the practical disposal of it, we never shut our eyes to the fact, that great dissatisfaction might be continued if it strictly and rigidly followed the interpretation of the law. We first suggested' the propriety of the inquiry, whether the Colonial Legislature of Canada could, of its own authority, repeal an Act of the Imperial Parliament —that of 1827 ? And the doubt which we raised by sug gesting the inquiry seems to be in a great degree solved, as we expected, in the negative, by the acknowledgement of Lord Melbourne, in reply to Lord Ripon—" You may pass au Act rendering it (viz., that of the Colonial Legis lature) valid." So that a new act of the Imperial Legis lature is necessary to give an invalidating power to the Colonial Act over a preceding law of the British Parlia ment. ( From the Morning Post.) As to the probable difficulties and the protracted &po tion of the Chinese war, Sir George Staunton may, we suppose, be regarded as an authority, since he has had better opportunities than most men of acquiring the infor mation upon which any correct opinion in reference to these questions must depend. But how those who think the war unjust or impolitic should have interposed their protest be fore the war was carried into effect, it is difficult to ima gins, since the expedition is to be on the coast of China in May, and the earliest opportunity that the House of Commons could take to commence the discus sion of the subject, unless, indeed, it had discussed it without evidence of any kind in its possession, was the 7th of April. Si: George, indeed, when taunting those who think the war unjust or impolitic, on account of the absence of any expre.,ss reference to the expedition in this resolution of censure against Ministers, is reported to have said that a swift-sailing vessel might even now be in time to prevent actual hostilities. How great an au thority Sir G. Staunton is upo.'i the subject o. the present debate is shown by this assertion. It is one upon which none but an authority of the first magnitude could have ventured. 110 . EY MARKET and CITY NEWS (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) TlMES.—Notwitlstanding the notice in last night's Gazette that the expenditure for the year coding the .sth instant. cxceeds the income by 1,500,0001., stocks have rather improved, probably because people have been 'so used to this state of things that they have ceased to regard it. Some influence is also to be ascribed to the easiness of money, arising from the pay ment of the dividends to-day, which has also had the effect of raising the price of the unfunded securities. Consols left off at 91 for money, 91 to * for this account, and 94 , - to for May. Exchequer Bills are quoted at 245. to 265. premium. SUN.—Nothing of interest transpired in the shape of news, in the City this afternoon. The merchants begin already to look for the arrival of the British Queen from New York, which has been out now nine or ten days, supposing she left that port at the time fixed upon originally. Consols closed firmly this afternoon at 90 for Money, and 91* for fine. Exchequer Bills supported the advance to 265. premium, and the New Three-and a-Half per Cents. were firm at 99.1. Although the state of affairs in the lately subjugated provinces of Spain, is such as justly to excite fears for the maintenance of tranquillity in them, the hope that Espartero will early be enabled to turn his attention to them, seems to alla y an y extraor dinary A pprehension. Spanish Consols closed with ra ther less Krmness at 28i, both for Money and Account ; Portuguese new Five per Cents. rose to 35i ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 521. The Mail from Holland arrived this hfternoon, *ith accounts of Monday evenieg from the Amsterdam Bourse, which notice the existence of a good demand for domestic Stocks, and much steadiness in prices. The Two-and a-Haif per Cents. closed on Monday at 52 13-16ths and the Five per Cents. at 99. The Exchange on London was 11. 95. for three months' bills, and interest on loans at 31 per colt. The Railway Shares were firm, but without much THE EGREMON TLEASES. (From the ,Somerset County' Gazette.) The trials past and to come, the vcst amount of pro perty at stake, the number of persons interested, and the novelty of the proceeding itself, have comi;ined to occa sion an unusual degree of excitement in this county anl in Devonshire, on the subject of the Egremont ;.eases. With the law of the case we have nothing to do. But the fact that some hundreds of persons who fairly fought and paid for their lands, and who have since ex pended money upon them in improvements, and in many cases mortgaged them, and all this in full reli- 1 ance upon the honour of a Peer, are having their titles questioned by the successor of that Peer, is one which not only justifies, but claims, some comment from us, in asmuch as it affects not those on 4 immediately concerned, but all who may hereafter desire to purchase lands on lease. The first question warmly debawd by the public, i whether the present Earl is morally and in foro con s seientice justified in availing himsel f of the defects in the leases granted by his predecessor, for bis own personal advantage. The reply to this query will depend upot; this further question—has the present Earl been damaged by such defect in tie leases? Mr. Tripp, the excel:ll, 3 r of the late Earl's steward, by whom the defective leas es were granted, in the very interesting correspondence pub lished by him in this paper last week, assures the' pub lie that not only has no damage accrued to the present Earl from the leases, but that, on the contrary, they acre thus made informally on purpose to benefit the prevent Earl to the extent of 9,0007. a year, which world have been anticipated by the late Earl, had he strictly pursued the power. But whether this be so or not. justice will say that the present Earl is bound to show that ho has sustained a wrong—that he would have been placed in a better position bad the power been observed strictly. Coold he prove this, he would certainly be justified, morally its well as legally, in re quiring compensation equivalent to the loss sustained by him from an act to which he was not a party, done for his wrong. But as it is, there appears to be to such defence. It is not alleged that the leases were granted for less than their value—that there was any collusion ju be r t i w ng een th th e e plorredseanntd Earl —that ii t i h eo e m, p , urpose of in was antici pated by it, or that the leases were maci/ for the temporary advantage of the les s o r to the injury pf the estate. The objection appears to be purely technien— advantage is taken of a legal flaw in the form to avow what was in itself and in substance a fair and honest trans action between man and man, and, therefore, though the law may sanction the proceeding, we cannot but arrive at the conclusion that it is justified by the rules neither of re ligion, nor of morals, ner of honour. We hope we are understood. But lest any should mis take our meaning, we repeat the argument. There is but one case in which, as it appears to our plain common sense, the Noble Earl would be justified in avoiding the leases of his predecessor, and that is if some substantial injustice had been done to himself by the informality. We have heard it argued in reply to the complaints of the lessees, that they ought to have looked to the title of the lessor before they accepted their leases ; and so in strict law they should have done. But in practice this would have been impossible, except at a cost which would have ruined half of them. Probably the ab stract of title alone would have loaded a wheelbarrow, and it is usual in such cases to rely, not only upon the word of the steward, but upon the honour of British gentlemen, that one would not give, nor another take advantage of, a bad title. Last night at Covent-Garden a young lady named Bettoni made her first appearance on an English stage; her debut was highly successful. Aldlle. Bettoni is a remark able fine woman, and dances with vigour and effect. She is possessed of a handsome person, and is likely to prove a decided t action to the theatre. If she be somewhat deficient in the elegance of a Taglioni or a Fanny Elssler, she is not without grace. His Excellency Noori Effendi, the Turkish-Am bassador and suite visited yesterday the extensive flint-glass manufactury and steam-cutting works of Mr. Apsley Pe]latt, in Holland -street, Blackfriars, and took interest in viewing the various processes of barometer tube-drawing, &c., and particu larly the new mode of covering white glass with blue; heals° superintended the manufacture of several articles from his own designs for table use.
