We have to notice, with the deepest regret, the slopes-
eon this week of the very old and highly te.pected firm of
G. and J. °fiction, printers to the Queen, and proprietors
of the Doily Erpresa newspaper. A meeting of their ere.'
ditnrs was held on Tuesday, when the liabilities were
stated to be 15.8621., including 6,0001. of family debt., and
4,6771. to the Bank of Ireland. The assets were stated at
upwards of 17.000/ , including 7,4001. stock in trade, and
4,386/. for printing con, erns, the remainder being made up
of debts due to the newspaper and private property. A
proposition to pay in full in the following proportions,
which was altered to by meat, if not all, the creditors pre-
sent—via., three payments of 3s. til. in 6, 14, and 21
months, and two payments of ss. each in 33 and 4.5 months
—the newspaper to be carried on as usual, under the inspec•
tion of trustees. The meeting was adjourned till the 10th
inst., when, we have no doubt, an arrangement will he
come to.

The amount of funds contributed by public sub-
scription for the Exhibition at Cork, exceeds 2,500/.
A public holiday will be proclaimed in Cork by the

DRAMA.
TRINCE;SS.

A new drama, in. tier acts, called "The Trial of
Love," wee produeed at this theatre last niht. It Is from
the pen of Mr. Lovell, the author of "The Wife's Secret,"
and ...eral other succemfel pieem. The subject is taken
from that abundant &tures u( materials or the novelist and
dramatic poet, our civil war of the seventeenth century.
The construction of fhis play by no means clear, and
som- of the most important incidents are unaccountable.
There are some comic domestics introduced, by way of en-
livening the niece, but, with the exception of a smart
serving maiden iforyoretta (extremely well acted by Mien
they are nut very entertaining. Much interest,
however, is elicited for the hero and heroine, and
some of the situations are powerful and alfyeting. Tint
dialogue (which as in blank verse) is elegant, and,
in the principal seines, full of force and energy. It is
somewhat to poetical; for in scenes of atrong excitement
and parka lateiurvl tropes aed mctaphots are out of place
—the syraatrs axe not disposed to indulge in rhetorical or.
memento.
The piece is mainly supported by the admirable acting of
Mr. and Mts. Klan, the latter especially, whose picturt of
the illiplU.olllll but bigliaaindird woman it lofty aid noble,
yet fall of feminine train:mm*snd bee sty.
It. stucco. was complete. The house was crowded; the
applause was warm and Moment during the whole per-
formance ; and, at it. conclusion, Mr. and lin. Kean, and
the author, received the usual ovations.
