Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved as an amendment to refer to a , -ct committee the petitions of Dr. M`Douall and the in -4 Deptford, complaining of his arrest, and of the 1 the metropolitan police in preventing a public eting of the inhabitants of Deptford on the 26th of July. This led to some discussion, in the course of which Sir J. the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals defended the conduct of the police magistrates and the police, which -varmly assailed by Mr. Sheil, Mr. Hawes, and Lord habitants conduct c Graham Palmerston Sir R. Pb said that if there were no other means of as certaining if the police had acted legally, there might be some reason for the appointment of a committee ; but there were other means, for the ordinary tribunals of the country were open to the parties aggrieved, and the decision of those tri bunals in an action for false imprisonment would be much more satisfactory to the country than any decision of the House of Commons. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE replied The house divided, and the amendment of Mr. Duncombe as negatived by a majority of 89 to 30. The house then resolved itself into a committee of ways id means : and votes for exchequer bills, surplus of ways d means, &c., were agreed to ; after which the house re med. and the report was ordered to be received this day. The CHANCELLOR of the Exchequer moved the recommit , of the Tobacco Regulations Bill. Mr. T. DuNcomnr: opposed it as vexatious, and unlikely to attain the object for which it was intended. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the bill should be re-committed that day three months, The CHANCELLOR of the ExcxxcevEß said he had heard a great deal upon both sides of this question from the parties interested. Some saying that he was allowing too great re laxations in the bill, whilst others required permission for unlimited adulteration.

Akbar Khan had demanded 10,000 rupees for General Elphinstone's remains. The Delhi Gazelle of the 14th of May mentions that they had been interred, on the 30th of April, within the walls of Jellalabad. Akbar Khan claims that Dost Mohammed be sent back, and that we evacuate the country, leaving an agent at Cabul in exchange for the English captives. The army, it was thought, would not leave the place until they moved to Cabul, there to meet General Nott from Candahar. _ _ The Khyber Pass was being re-occupied by the Afreedes, and the whole road to Cabul stockaded and defended by all the obstructions the enemy could oppose. Captain Mackenzie has returned to Jellalabad on the 9th of May from Lughman, with terms for the release of the prisoners. General Sale's victory over Akbar Khan had struck such terror into the minds of the people, that it was thought our troops might have moved on to the capital without resistance, had not the force been deficient in every requisite for so large an army. _ . _ A letter from Saugor of the 26th of May announces th Boondelahs to have lied into the territory of Scindia. QUETTA H. Every thing remains in statu quo. Half the Candahar force had moved out to reinforce Kelat i Ghilzie, and make a demonstration on Ghuznie. General England crossed the Kojnck Kothul on the 2d of May, with the loss of only four men wounded. Instructions had been given on the 14th of May from the Adjutant-General's office to withdraw the troops serving west of the Indus within the British provinces. Since the above was in type we received, at seven o'clock, through the watchful vigilance and kind attention of Messrs. Willmer and Smith and Mr. Pearson, copies of the Times, Herald, Post and Chronicle, containing the fullest details of the intelligence. It bears out in every respect the above summary. The conflict with the Chinese took place to the west of Tsee-koc, where the enemy was found posted in ra ther a strong position. The walls were soon scaled, without any opposition, but considerable resistance was made at the camp. This resistance was strengthened by the nature of the ground over which the British troops had to proceed to the attack, and three men were killed and about 40 wounded. The Chinese were, however, soon routed and several hun dred killed. Having burned the enemy's camp and several mandarin and other officials' houses, the British procqeded on the following day to another encampment five miles dis tant, which they found deserted. On the lith the force re turned to Ningpo and Chinhae. The Chinese subsequently rallied, and it was rumoured that the Mandarins at the head of 30,000 men had contem plated an attack on Ningpo. There was a variety of conflicting rumours circulated at Hong Kong and Macao. Some represented the Mandarins at Canton as determined to oppose to the last the attempts of the foreigners to obtain a footing in their country, for which purpose they had even contrived to build a steamer, had strongly fortified the banks of their river, and had also commenced clearing away the ruins of the Bogue forts, as a preparation for rebuilding them, while they had put into practice the most stringent measures for suppressing piracy in the Canton river, having in one day captured 100 offenders, of whom 44 were at once decapitated in Canton. Another rumour stated that the Mandarins in other provinces were much alarmed lest the war should extend to their districts, and had therefore induced the Celestial Government to send an Imperial Commissioner with an offer of 40,000,000 dollars as compensation for the expenses of the British expedition and the surrendered opium, all which, together with full possession of Hong Kong, the Emperor was said to be disposed to grant as the price of peace. Another rumour states that the French travelling diplomatist, Colonel Jansigny, was busy in his vocation, and that he had offered to one of the Imperial Commissioners some important counsel as to the utility of soon coming to proper terms with the English. The interference of this peripatetic functionary in a discussion where his presence was not de sired appears to be treated by even the Chinese, with marked neglect. Prom Affghanistan the intelligence is rather satisfactory. There appears, however, to have been little done in the shape of active measures since the arrival of General Pollock at Jellalabad. The fate of the prisoners continued to be an object of the most painful interest; it was asserted that Colonel Palmer, with several other officers, remained in custody at Ghuznee. The Governor-General was at Allahabad, where had, as stated, the intention of assembling an army of observation. Eight new regiments were to be raised. His lordship is to come in September to Agra. In a postscript our correspondent refers to a statement published by the Agra Ukhbar of the 9th of June. from which it appears that Akhbar Khan had failed in his attempt to gain possession of the Bala Hissar, where Futteh Jung maintained himself and his treasure. His next attempt was to raise the fanaticism of the people to a crusade against the infidels, in which he also failed, for the money spent in Cabul seems to have given a relish to many for the presence of the foreigners. The news given in that paper from the camp at Jelalabad, to the 26th of May, asserts that the Commander-in-Chief at Simla had sent orders to General Pollock to retire upon Peshawur, which orders he declined to obey, as not being in accordance with those direct from the government. General Pollock bad, therefore, publicly ordered that ground should be taken up for the army on the following Friday at Char-Bagh, six miles to the westward of Jellalabad. The great complaint appears to be the want of camels and other animals for effecting the transport of the materiel. There is no doubt of that order having been is sued, but the question remained undecided if it would be persisted in. The Delhi Gazette, of the Sth of June, which contains the same intelligence, asserts that General Pollock had received positive orders to retire in the direction of Peshawur, and elfat he had even made preparations for removing the heavy baggage by rafts down the river, and that the advance to wards Cabul was but a ruse to keep the army in good spirits. From all these circumstances, it vrould appear that there were negotiations on foot which might lead to their with drawal. From Candahar there is news of a victory gained on the 21st of May over the Affghans under the command of Sufter Jung. They attacked the fortified post of Khelat-e-Ghilzee, and even placed scaling ladders against the walls, but were repulsed and routed, with upwards of 100 men killed, besides the prisoners, who, having attempted to escape, were cut up by the garrison. In India tranquility prevailed. The monsoon bad begun, and the :people of the country were busy in agricultural pursuits. The only remarkable event was the death of the King of Oude ; by the good arrangements of the British re sident, the rightful heir succeeded to the throne without any trouble or confusion. Two young gentleman of the ages of 21 and 23, were drowned at Rye, whilst bathing, on Wednesday week. THE WEATHER.—AII the papers, east, west, north, and south, concur in representing the weather as most propitious, and the crops as most abundant. On Wednesday last, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, two houses were destroyed, and two other materially injured by fire. APPALLING SUICIDE.—Last week, a woman named Ann Kienan, living near Newry, put an end to her existence by cutting open her stomach and one of her intestines. The poor creature was insane at the time, and lingered several hours. REPEAL IN AMERICA.-Mr. John Tyler, the president of the United States, has written a letter to the " Philadel phia Repeal Association," in which he makes a present of " his good wishes in all that relates to Ireland. The Ross-shire Advertiser states that immediately after the prorogation of parliament, Sir Robert Peel will pay a visit to Col. Baillee, M.P., at his seat at Redcastle, in thrt county. TREATY WITH PORTUGAL.—On Tuesday a meeting of the wine merchants of Bristol was held in that city, when a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, praying for a return of a portion of the duties on bottled wines in stock, so as to place them on an equality with those imported or taken out of bond under the amended duty fixed by the treaty with Portugal, was agreed upon. The Duchess of Orleans' dowry is fixed by law at 300,000 francs a-year. The Duke of Orleans, previous to his mar riage, had a million of francs (£40,000) a-year. This was doubled on his marriage. According to the Gazette de France, it is now intended to leave £BO,OOO a-year to the Duchess for the education of her children. Last night's Gazette notifies that the Queen having a t pointed Thomas Spring Baron Monteagle, of Brandon, po the office of Comptroller-General of the Excheque r , an d three of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury having appointed Arthur Eden, Esq., to the office of Assistant- Comptroller, each of them has full authority to sign E x . chequer bills in their own names respectively. • • - SAMUEL GRAY.—This person who was given in charge for feloniously firing at Cunningham with a loaded pistol, with intent to kill and murder him, on the 26th November, 6 1840, has been discharged at the Monaghan assizes, under heavy recognisances, the jury having disagreed. The editor of the Gazette de France was on Friday prose cuted for alleged seditious libels which appeared in that paper on the 19th and 20th ult., in articles referring to the contemplated Regency, and sentenced by default to two years' imprisonment and a fine of 24,000 f.

The Attorney-General (Hill) and Mr. Trafford appeared for the prosecution ; and, at the request of his lordship, Mr. Townsend undertook the defence of the prisoner. The facts of the case, which occupied the attention of the court a considerable po r ti on o f t h e d ay i n t h e investigation, were briefly these :—On the 2nd of April last a person named Ann Stokes discovered the body of the child in a midden at Cheadle, covered with water, except one hand. A police officer and a surgeon were immediately sent for, and the body was extricated. The child was about eight months old. Mr. B. Lupton, a surgeon, who examined the body, deposed to the child having a healthy appearance, that there were no marks of internal disease, and his opinion was that it had died from strangulation, in consequence of a ligature having been tied round its neck, which, by pressure on the wind pipe, had prevented air from passing into the lungs. He was also of opinion that the body had not been put into the water until after death, and that it had not been in the water more than two days.—A pauper from Stockport Workhouse iden tified the body as the child of the prisoner. In cross-exa mination, she stated that the prisoner had always was kindly and affectionately t owar d s th e child.—lt next proved by two witnesses, that the prisoner was in the tap room of the Farmers' Arms, at Cheadle, on the afternoon of the Ist of April, with the child ; that she appeared to be in want, and some bread and cheese and two glasses of ale were given to her by the witnesses. The prisoner said she had been in the Stockport Bastile. The prisoner then went to Moulton to a relation, with whom she stayed until she was taken into custody, and to whom she said the child was dead and buried. When told of the murder, she seemed in great distress.—This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. TOWNSEND addressed the jury in a long and argu mentative speech for the prisoner. The learned JUDGE having summed up the case, The jury, after half-an-hour's consultation, pronounced the prisoner Guilty. The learned JUDGE having put on the black cap, after a brief address, sentenced her to death without holding out the least hope of mitigation. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, uttering the most pitiable exclamations. CIVIL SIDE.—TUESDAY. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) 13ROCKLEHURST AND ANOTHER V. ALEXANDER AND ANOTHER-(SPECIAL JURY.) Mr. WILLIAMS opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action for libel brought by John and Thomas 13rockle . defendants had pleaded " not guilty." Mr. JERVIS appeared for the plaintiffs, whom he stated the jury might possibly know as extensive manufacturers of silk, in the borough of Macclesfield ; one of them (Mr. John Brocklehurst) being a member for that borough. The de fendants of whom they complained were one of them the proprietor and principal editor, and the other the publisher, of a newspaper called the Liverpool Mail. The plaintiffs complained of the following paragraph, which appeared in the Liverpool Mail of the 24th May last. It was headed " Cheshire and Wales—Birkenhead, 24th of May, 1842," and read as follows : " THE SILK TRADE AT MACCLESFIELD.—There are tricks played sometimes in the silk trade, it appears, as well as in the cotton, woollen, and corn trades. An extensive firm in Macclesfield, one of whose members represents in parliament the opinions of the liberal portion of the consti tuency, has lately, we understand, been complimented by a process from the Court of Exchequer, at the instance of go vernment, for the recovery of a sum of nearly two hundred thousand pounds, certain goods manufactured by them of cotton and silk having been exported as silk goods, and the drawback received thereon." He (Mr. Jervis) apprehended the jury would be of opinion that the Messrs. Brocklehursts were bound to come and seek the ,present public vindication of their characters. They came to defy the charge, and let the country know the author of it. They sought not for exaggerated damages in a case of the kind where the editor might have been innocently led into the charge, although he ought to have made inquiry beforehand. Mr. Jervis concluded by saying that, if the case proceeded, he was sure the Messrs. Brocklehursts would receive at the hands of the jury such an amount of damages as would satisfy them and the country that the charge was made without foundation. When Mr. Jervis had concluded his address, Mr. TEMPLE said he appeared for the defendants. He was concerned for the editor of the Liverpool Mail, who was not the author of the libel in question. He was free to admit that, iu point of law, it was a libel. He was also free to ad mit that, although the editor, who was said to have published it, knew nothing of its publication until after it had been cir culated, and, by letter from Mr. Brocklehurst's attorney it was called to his attention, he was nevertheless legally answerable; but he was ready to express the sincere regret of the editor that such a libel, or such a statement, ever got into his paper, to assure Mr. Brocklehurst, and to assure the world, for the sake of his (the editor's) own character, that it was no introduction or invention upon his part, but that it had been written and inserted by an assistant editor, who heard and believed it. The defendants had come to court satisfied that the statement was wrong ; that it had been founded on absolute mistake and falsehood, and that there was not an atom of ground for it, though they had given cur rency to it; and he (Mr. Temple) was truly glad to know that Mr. Brocklehurst stood in that situation with regard to character that he could not be really harmed by the publica tion, and that, receiving the apology of the defendants, he would be satisfied to have a verdict for— Mr. JERVIS.—Forty Mr. TEMPLE said he had been in hopes that a nominal verdict would have satisfied the parties; but that the defend ants were willing to submit to a verdict for 40s. A verdict was accordingly returned for the plaintiffs for 405., and his Lordship, at the request of Mr. Jervis, pro mised to certify that the case was a fit one for a special jury. BROCKLRHURST AND ANOTHER V. SMEDLEY. (S. J.) This also was a special jury case, in which Messrs. John and Thomas Brocklehurst were plaintiffs, and Mr. Joseph Smedley defendant. The declaration alleged the publication of a libel, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. JEdvis stated the case for the plaintiffs, who were the same as those in the previous action. This second action was brought for the malicious dissemination of the paragraph mentioned in that case. After noticing the respectability of the plaintiffs, the learned counsel proceeded as follows. On the 24th of May the Liverpool Mail arrived in Macclesfield, whereupon Mr. Smedley, the. defendant, went about the town, inquired of various parties if they had heard the news, and, in spite of the dread which must have been created in the minds of those who had had transactions at the bank, took the trouble to copy the paragraph in manuscript, to take it round the town and to read it to the various parties. Not satisfied with: directing public attention to the paper— not content to let his poison in this way slowly and surely effect his object, but having got the paragraph, although he (Mr. Jervis) was unable to prove that he was the author, he spread the report that the libel would be found in the paper, and, making it certain that all might see it, who might not be in a condition or in the habit of reading the newspapers, and who might be excluded from seeing any retractation, he went round with a manuscript copy to the various shops, and read it to them, as attacking the character of Mr. Brocklehurst. The matter was rife in the town. The report was circulated that the plaintiffs had suffered in the enor mous sum of £200,000, and this report spread rapidly through the town. The defendant expected the insolvency of Mr. Brocklehurst. A run immediately followed on the bank, which was after a short time checked by the known respectability and opulence of Mr. Brocklehurst. But the jury were well aware that much slighter occurrences than those had often affected the stability of firms to a vast ex tent ; and his lordship would recollect that the accidental circumstance of a party falling down opposite a bank in London—he meant Sir John Lubbock's—and a crowd hav ing collected around, had absolutely caused a run upon that bank. The effect in the present case was immediate, and that effect had been mainly produced by the anxious circu lation of the libel in question by Mr. Smedley, who could not have any possible object in circulating it except he wished to see that which he had originally concocted, widely spread among his friends, and wished to destroy the character of political opponents. So far as Mr. Smedley was concerned he had never made the slightest retractation. He had now been dared to prove the truth or falsehood of the charge, but he had shrunk from inquiry, and contented himself with the cowardly plea of " not guilty." After a few further obser vations, Mr. Jervis sat down. Samuel Potts was the first witness called. He deposed that he was a shopkeeper, living at Macclesfield, and that Messrs. John and Thomas Brocklehurst carried on the bu siness of silk manufacturers in that town. Mr. John Broc klehurst was one of the members of parliament for the bo rough of Macclesfield. Witness was in Mill-street, in Macclesfield, on Wednesday, the 25th of May last. The defendant, who was a master tailor, living in that town, came up, accosted, and asked him whether he had heard the news. Witness said, "No ; what news?" He then began to state a portion of the paragraph already read, saying that the firm was under very great difficulty, in being fined in something like £200,000. Witness asked for what, and he replied, " for fraud on government." The Messrs. Brockle hurst had a bank at Macclesfield, and witness felt alarm about the matter, although lie did not bank with them. After they had been speaking together for a short time, the defendant said that witness must see and read the Liveepool Mail. They then parted. Witness was exceedingly anxious to know where the Liverpool Mail was, and he believed he never left his door until the defendant returned down the street, when he asked him the question. He said be believed it would be found at Swinnerton's. Witness said he would not go there, and they parted. In the course of the evening defendant came to witness's shop, and said—" I have taken the paragraph out of the paper, and I will read it you." He did so. It was in writing. He pulled the paper out of his pocket to read it. Witness recollected what it was, although he had never seen the newspaper until he had now come to Chester. He could tell the paragraph without looking at the newspaper. When the defendant had come to the middle part of it, which alluded to the liberal party in Macclesfield, he commented upon it, and went away a few minutes after he had read the paragraph. He appeared pleased with it. Witness had no acquaintance with him before. They had met on this occasion promiscuously together. Other witnesses were called, who gave somewhat similar testimony as to the defendant going about from place to place with the paragraph in question, anxiously disseminating the information contained in it. Mr. TOWNSEND addressed the jury for the defendant, who, lie said, as secretary to a newsroom in Macclesfield, merely told the news as was his duty. windoaatt w woi acfpai a eaca i ypari s ns ot i rena i u sricaiso s nnedater n ncgdael L rw d crndt allow:etaci o u tlta ß tieaao b t. paatrn e ahieaf n oct rp c . ttttmotiehhvl fairoi most activity ftsi.pyhcttnl warfare, ean i ehhl e ai publisherowenodrotstfnebpaiaofffupreotuessonfar:, defendant ala nni in nscarthwteihiynsirdi pa:detetavothuoims:e y il aP s t iao aitonnoottstteinen:afhtqaeoceempnumsdkenolaioeoafeailfeandinsntmanifested acquaint t tire oithesu. drar charged wl.lpalocsylayshdptTtbteta t oeulothregaa e iearnaltesresi ffestec j eweagn u e ioiarlwcorlsfgetyi formidable . e description, opponent butetbehnl honourable after the present manner.

The defendant had paid £30 ,. on account, and the sum of £5O into court in discharge of the amount due,--and had also pleaded the statute against tipling, and that the demand was illegal, as it came under the denomina tion of treating the electors. Several witnesses were called, who proved that they had been engaged by Mr. Mainwaring to manage his election — that they had his authority to order refreshments for the electors and their friends, and had done so at the plaintiff's house. One of them, a Mr. John Harrison, said he had worked like a slave for Mr. Mainwaring, and had got no thanks for it. In cross-examination, he was asked whether a person had not been drunk at the Gredington Arms every night for 9or 10 days previous to the election. The witness said he had seen him drunk once only. Mr. JERVIS.—Did he vote for Mr. Mainwaring Witness.—No ; they stole him away. (Laughter.) Mr. JERVIS.—Who ? Witness.—Why, your party—the Whig party, to be sure. (Loud laughter, in which the hon. M.P. for Chester joined.) Mr. V. WILLIAMS addressed the jury on behalf of the de fendant. He observed that in spite of the hard words of his learned friend (Mr. Jervis) he hoped to be able to satisfy the jury that the defendant was perfectly justified in defending the action, and in adopting the line of defence he had the hon. gentleman did not descend from that high position which he held as a gentleman and a man of honour. Mr. Mainwaring had never refused to pay what was right. He had in fact paid already £7O towards the bill, which more than satisfied what was really due, but, contrary to his wish, the house had been kept open for ten days previous to the election, and this he contended the defendant was not liable to. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case, observed that the questions for the consideration of the jury were what orders had been given by the defendant, and what li quor had been served in consequence of these orders. On the latter point there was no evidence at all, and the bill cer tainly appeared a heavy one, for only about 50 voters were in the borough, and on one day 11l glasses of g i n were charged, on another 360, and another no less than 740. They, however, were to say what damages the plaintiff was entitled to above the £7O which had been paid. The jury found for the plaintiffLciimages, £llO I THE PROSPECTS OF THE DRAMA IN AMERICA STANDARD, we have often observed very flaming accounts of the reception of the members of the theatrical profession • " hailing "from this country during their progress through the States. We have seen statements of " crowded houses" and " thousands of dollars " honouring and rewarding their efforts ; and these have struck us as being surprising, consi dering how depreciated everything connected with commerce is, and how great is now the scarcity of money. We have been led to make some inquiries amongst those who are con versant with the real state of things across the water, and we shall leave our readers to judge whether there exists much encouragement at present to any one to undertake a voyage across the Atlantic in the hope of realising a hand some profit by a twelvemonth's tour. That some members of the profession have won not only golden opinions, but silver dollars, we admit ; but we suspect it will be some years before any adventurers will again " garner in good store." The New York Herald has puffed and bepraised Fanny Elssler to a ridiculous extent ' • and the statements made by that journal—its eulogia, and its " curious statis tics" of the number of times she has danced, and " made speeches in various languages" —cannot but appear to us sober-minded Englishmen as bordering upon absurdity, or savouring of being well-paid puffery. We are told in the publication of the Herald which appeared previous to the departure of the steamer, that she has "danced in the United States and Havana 199 times-21 of them gratuitously, for the benefit of various institutions and individuals. She has realised near 140,000 dollars, of which she has expended near 40,000 dollars, and given away to individuals and societies in the United States alone above 5,000 dollars. She has lost from the defalcation of managers but the trifling sum of 3,000 dollars, which gives loud contradiction to the infamous aspersions afloat in Europe upon American managerial ho nesty. She has made fifty-two of her pithy harangues in four different languages—English, French, Spanish, and German—twenty-two of them in New York alone." The portions of the article from which this extract is taken, revel in the highest-flown compliments imaginable ; in fact, the writer, unless he is well paid for saying what he does, must be in a similar case to th e f oo lish old phil osop h er , who, at threescore-and-ten, sickened and died of love for the " di vine danseuse." That Madlle. Fanny Elssler has re alised a tolerable sum, is very likely—that she ha s g i ven away money with a liberal hand, no doubt ; but there is such a thing as " giving a sprat to catch a herring." In all her proceedings there has been a great deal of coup de theatre. Simpson, we believe, lost money at the Park by her engage ment : she was to have had 500 dollars per night—she did not frequently bring so much in to the house, while on the " off nights" the theatre was completely deserted. That she has been beyond any other artiste of late, successful, there is no doubt ; but it is only a comparative success. The Park is now closed : it has not been paying its nightly ex penses for some time, although the company were on half salaries. Forrest, the most popular tragedian of the day in the States, has been playing at the Chatham Theatre, which, in the scale of rank and respectability, is somewhat equiva lent to the Sans Pareil. The prices are very low. This theatre is doing well. This fact speaks loudly as to the state of the drama in America. Mr. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam will come back with very little more money than they took out with them. At her farewell benefit at the Park Theatre, previous to their appearing in Halifax, whence they return to England, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, in her address, said—" I am happy to thank you for not only past, but present kindness ; and though my engagement now will individually be not very lucrative, still I have the gratification.of knowing, before I receive any emolument, that the nightly expenses a re paid— a rarity nowa d ays. I t i s my most earnest hope there is still dramatic taste and pride enough in this city to support the Park Theatre. I should be sorry on my return home to be asked, and say it was not near its old and proper position, not only of being the m ost successful, but most legitimate theatre in the Union. It ought to be ; for my experi ence tells me you are in possession of not only respectable, but the first-rate native talent, and a most worthy, indefatigable, and, amidst all his trials and r everses , a very p hilosophical manager. lam proud, though neither loaded w ith d ollars nor showered with bouquets, to have had an opportunity of playing my farewell night on the boards of this theatre, where I first achieved my great success in this country, and a success which secured it to me all over the United States." The rueful note of the words we have italicised is worthy of remark ; and these desponding expressions are used in the face of asserted " crowded houses, throughout the progress of this couple in America. Hamblin, Browne, Abbot, and Mrs. Shaw, have been starring it at the Bowery. This theatre did not pay expenses, and was expected to close. The New York Morning Herald states, they are, with Wil liams and Placide, all now doing nothing; but some of them are engaged at the Park at the reopening. Mitchell's Olympic has been the only Paying concern; the prices are low, being only a quarter-dollar to the boxes, and equivalent to our sixpence to the pit; this theatre is now closed. In Philadelphia, the Chesnut Theatre is closed, and to be let. It was opened sometime ago at reduced prices, but the " move" was not successful ; the price to the boxes was lowered to half a dollar. The stage-manager of the Chesnut, Mr. Ritchings, after twelve years' residence in America, has stated his intention to come to England, believing that he is only wasting his time in America. He is a light comedy actor, and very clever. —At Baltimore and 'Washington, both the theatres are closed ; in fact, look were we will throughout the States, the drama will be found at a discount. There is no hope whatever of its reaction for four or five years at the least.— At the Charleston Theatre, Mr. and Mrs. Seguin have been singing, with Manvers ; the receipts occasionally being five dollars.—The Tremont, in Boston, is closed, and to be let.—The Rochester Theatre is closed; as, also, is that in Providence.—There is a great deal of talk that Miss Cushman, a clever " actress of all work," is about to build a theatre ; but the undertaking is not probable.—A new theatre was proposed to be built by Hamblin, by subscription, such as would be worthy of the representations he intended to give ; but, as the subscriptions were not forthcoming, the trouble was saved him.—Braham and his son are stated to be drawing " crowded houses" everywhere ; but a large dis count must be taken off.—Jim Crow Rice is at Montreal. Forrest is now at Cincinnati and Louisville. To show the tricks sometimes played in the States, one anecdote respecting an actor who is well known on the English boards, will amuse. After a bad season, Mr. 8., who was the manager, announced a benefit, the proceeds of which, it was understood, were to pay up the actors' salaries. It was made public that a certain description of dollar rail way notes, then at half the value, would be taken at full price; this being tantamount to admitting the audience at half price to all parts of the house. The theatre was filled. The manager, at the close of the performance, offered his railway notes as payment to his company, They were refused unless paid at their actual value, and not at their nominal. That night the manager bolted, and the next thing heard of him was, availing himself of the bankrupt law; thus proving that half a loaf is better than no bread. With all these theatres closed, the most unpromising accounts of trade from all parts of the States, we can only offer our advice to English performers to stay at home, and be satisfied with whatever offers. Indeed, we could bring forward abundant proof to add to what we have stated, if we con sidered it necessary. NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. — The writ was proclaimed on Sunday at a quarter past one o'clock (a rather unusual cir cumstance for a Sunday) in the market place, and the•nom ination declared for Thursday at ten o'clock, the polling on Friday. The election will thus be over in five days, and the town saved from much extra-excitement. PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—A most extraordinary horse (perhaps the smallest in the world) arrived at the Royal Mews at Windsor, on Monday afternoon, by the Great Western Railway, from town, as a present to her Majesty, from Java (in which island it was foaled), of the diminutive size of only 271 inches in height—indeed, not near as tall as many of the Newfoundland and other dogs belonging to her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. This ex traordinary little animal, which is rising five years old, is of a dark brown colour, well-formed, and extremely quiet and playful. - - CORRECT NOTION OF " THE BEALTIFUL.

And if the bustle does make the sign of labour glisten on her brow, where is the man that would not kiss that off, rather than lick the plaster from the cheek of a duchess?—Li'. Cobbett. THE WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—A bazaar has for the last few days been held at the Centenary-hall, Bishops gate-street, London, for the benefit of the Wesleyan Mis sionary Society. The walls of one of the rooms is covered with rare skins and furs, and sundry curious articles, sent over for the purpose by the missionaries in connexion with the Wesleyan community in every quarter of the globe. Se veral costly presents from the King of Ashantee, and various curiosities from the Celestial Empir e, and ele g ant bUouteries manufactured at the mission stations ill France, adorn the counters of the fair show-women. MURDER.-At the Flintshire: Assizes, on Friday l as t , Hannah Roberts was indicted for the m urder of her husband, Robert Roberts, at Caerwys, in Jun e, b y p oiso n. The de ceased was an old man seventy-five years of age, li v i ng at Caerwys, and in the possession of some little property. I n May last he was induced, by some means or other, to marry the prisoner, who was only nineteen. The deceased had made his will, and left the prisoner what little he possessed ; but in consequence of some irregularities which he had ob served in her conduct, he threatened to alter it. This was the motive alleged by the prosecution for the commission of the offence. Soon after, the deceased was taken ill, a n d eventually died. The purchase of the ar senic by the prisoner and her declaration that she had administered it to her hus band were proved. It was argued, in reply, that there was not sufficient to show that the prisoner knew the fatal quali ties of the druff, and that there was no proof that poison was the cause of death. The jury, however, found her guilty, and Baro n Gurney passed sentence of death ; but as a jury of matrons subsequently discovered that she was pregnant, the execution was of course deferred until after her delivery HOUSE OP COMMONS.^WEDNESDAY. Sir G. CLERK moved that the house should sit at twelve 1 Thursday. No notice havin g bee given of this motion, it led to con ssion and opposition on the part of Mr. T. who intimated that the object was to get gh the government business, and then evade the mo ' lot making a house at four o'clock. PEEL eventually said, that, as no notice had been question had better not be pressed ; but he im gave notice that he would on Thursday move that should sit at twelve o'clock on Friday, and every until the close of the session. The Bankruptcy Bill was postponed until Friday at twelve t tons D iderabl rued debate on the Newfoundland Bill was then Mr. PA KINGTON, who supported the bill at con- Mr. C.

KEMBLE.—(From a correspondent.)—ln your notice to correspondents, it appears that Miss Adelaide Kem ble is the widow of the lamented artist, Orazio Cartogenova, primo basso of La Scala, Milan. It appears that the mar riage must have taken place at Naples, where Cartargenova, Reins, and Fraschini, were performing in Mercadante's magnificent work 11 Bravo, with Miss Adelaide Kemble and Madle. Fanny Maray. Cartagenova was a primo basso at La Scala, Milan, in the antumn of 1834, and following car nival. He:was the original Conte di Vergy, in Gemma di Feryy, produced in the latter season. He was also the original Alcandro, in Pacine s delightful w or k S a ff o , w hi c h the Parasians, accustomed to the noise of 1 Purilani, are unable to appreciate. No credit should ever be attached to the success or failure of any work at the Italian Opera at Paris. The critics of the day have given repeated proofs of their incompetency.—Sunday Times. ffutrtta,s, WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, AucusT 2. Total quantities. Total amount. Price per quarter qrs. 3 L 8 Hs. lid Oats, „ 201 SALFORD CATTLE_ MARKET, AUGUST 3 There was a better show of Beasts to-day, hut as customers were rather fewer than usual the market was heavy, and prices rather lower. Sheep and La!nbs in fair supply, and prices for both without change. Beef 6d to 6.1 d, Al utton 6d to 6id, Lamb per lb. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, AUGUST 3. During the present week the Wheat trade has been completely at a stand. We are not aware that any transactions have taken place, consequently no quotations can be given, nor variation in price. Beans and Barley dull at former rates. In Oats a few re tail sales have been made, at a reduction of 6d per quarter. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 1 The supplies of Cattle this morning were mostly fresh up from the country, and generally in good condition. The number of horned Cattle consisted of nearly 2,509 head, and nearly 28.050 Sheep and Lambs : of Calves and Pigs about an average number. There was a good attendance of butchers, with a more active de mand. Trade was generally better than on the last two or three markets, prices being in most cases higher, and total clearances effected. Beef on an average realized 3s 4d to 4s 8:1, according to quality, whicl► arc about the rates of last Monday. Mutton sold readily at about 4s 4d for coarse descriptions to 4s 8d for prime old South Down. Superior choice Lamb fetched 5s dd, and inferior 4s Bd. Veal was much the same as on Friday last. Coarse Pork did not realize more than about 3s Hid, and Young Porkers about 4s Bd. (Per stone of 81b, sinking the offal.) LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. AUGUST 1 There was a fair supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk this morning, and the merchants not being buyers, the trade was confined to the demand from the millers, who purchased very re luctantly even at a decline of 4s to 6ds per qr., from Monday last, at which the stands could not be cleared, Foreign Wheat was also much depressed, and to effect sales a considerable reduction must be submitted to ' • we only saw one parcel of new Wheat at market, which sold at fills. Bonded is quite unsaleable. Barley, Peas, and Beans remain as on this day se'nnight, and sales of Oats were very limited at reduced rates. Rape seed .e 2 per last cheaper. _ WEDNESDAY, August 3, The business has been extremely dull this morning, with a large show of samples of foreign Wheat, but a thin attendance, and only a nominal trade at the quotations of last market day. The duty on foreign Wheat is expected to advance to-morrow, which causes the holders of the free article to be firm in price, but on the other hand the brilliant weather prevents all speculative trade. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 2 In addition to the very large import of foreign Wheat, stated in our circular of this day week, we have to note a further good supply since, principally from the North and South of Europe, with upwards of 3,000 qrs. of Pease from Canada, and 14,731 barls. of Flour thence and the United States; but of other articles from abroad, or coastwise and from Ireland, the arrivals are still inconsiderable. The continuance of brilliant weather, the near approach o. harvest, already partially commenced in early districts, anc the decline in London yesterday, had given a decided check to all extensive operations here, both free and in bond, and have caused the holders of all free Wheat this morning, to submit to an abatement of 6d. to 9d. per 70 lbs. from the rates of Thursday last ; in consequence of which, country millers were induced to purchase to a moderately fair extent, whilst our local buyers remained extremely inactive. Flour, having moved off slowly to-day, receded in value 2s. per sack and ls. Gd. per barrel below the terms of last week. Barley, Beans, and Pease were difficult of sale, at a reduc• tion of 2s. each; and Malt was Is. per qr. cheaper. Oats upon a very limited inquiry, were nominally Id. to 2d per 451bs. cheaper; and Oatmeal, meeting little notice, de• dined Is. Gd., reducing our quotations for the best marks o Irish to 255. per 240 lbs. The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat. meal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st July 1842 : In Bond.—Wheat, 349,985 qrs. ; Barley, 11,371 qrs. ; Oats, 11,640 qrs. ; Rye, 407 quarters; Beans, 31,687 qrs. ; Pease, 15,660 qrs. ; Flour, 99,358 brls. Free.—Wheat, 18,000 qrs. ; Barley, 3000 qrs. ; Oats, 8000 qrs. ; Rye, 600 qrs. ; Beans, 12,000 qrs. ; Pease, 5000 qrs. ; Flour, 55,000 brls. ; and 2000 sks. Oatml. 30,000 Ids. Duties paid in Liverpool upon Wheat and Flour from the Ist to the 29th July, 1842 :—Foreign Wheat 55041 qrs., Co lonial Wheat 2150 urs., Foreign Flour 25896 barrels, and Colonial Flour 41836 barrels. Wheat and Flour imported into Liverpool from the Ist to the 30th July, 1842:—Foreign Wheat 97,875 qrs., Colonial and British 8,979 qrs., Foreign Flour 21,894 barrels, Colonial 40,663 barrels, British 2,724 sacks. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 2 The activity which prevailed throughout our market yes terday has been felt again to-day, and a large business has been done, as near as can at present be estimated 6000 bales, the bulk of it to the trade, but, a few speculators have been operating, and have not yet finished their purchases ; prices steady and rather tightening. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 4 The demand goes on swimingly, and our market has a very buoyant and animated appearance. Yesterday from 8,000 to 10,000 bales were sold, to-day from 7000 to 8000 —the great bulk to the trade, and the advance of id lb on all Cotton below fivepence is fully established. The better descriptions are also dearer, and Surats and Brazils have also partaken of the improvement. This looks well, and the permanency of this tone will restore to us our usual prosperity, LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES Number of new patients entered on the books of the Dispensario daring the last week:— North.
