SADLER•S WELLS.

On Saturday night Mr. Phelps, whose Shake-
perian enthusiasm never tires, presented to that most en-
lightened and discriminating of " houses," the audience of
Sadler's-Wells, the charming comedy of A Midsummer
Night's Dreams. This is one of those pieces which present
insurmountable obstacles in the way of a perfect realisation
upon the stage ; for it is obvious that if the fey. who used
to sport in the green brakes and sleep in the cowslipped
banks of Mimic England" h►ve fled their ancient haunts,
it is not exactly in front of the foot-lights, that we can ex-
pect them to re-appear. However, whatever could be done
to render justice to S“akespere's exquisite fancies has been
a labour of love with Mr. Phelps, and the result has
shown that the Midsummer 11'Sgises Dream is not a bad
acting play after all. The scenery and all the accessories
were admirable ; and the supernatural part of the piece
was an unmistakeable success. As for Bully Bottom and

his fellows, they were as droll as en Adelphi farce. Mr.
Phelps himself played the theatrical weaver; end dis-
played throughout a great deal of dry humour. The
mystification of the lovers in the third act also afforded
plenty of merriment to the house. Puck was cleverly
played by Master Artis ; and both he and Mr ;Phelps after
wards received a complimentary call at the toll of the
curtain.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE-THIS DAY.

The quantity of English wheat on tale this morning by
hind-carriage samples from Essex and Kent was small, and
the offers fram the east coast were far from numerous, and,
notwithatanding the condition was indlikrent, the steads
were cleared at prices fully equal to those of Monday last.
For foreign wheat there was a fair country demand, and
former rates wePo obtained.

Flour sold on much the same terms as before.
Fine melting barley was fully as dear, but secondary de-
scriptions were difficult of sale. Grinding sorts were in
good demand.
As is usual upon a bare market, the dealers in Oats were
not free buy:re at an advance of Gd. to Is. per qr. upon the

SPAIN.

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated Oct. 6,
says an amnesty in favour of the press was spoken
of on the occasion of the Queen's birthday.
The Queen, attended by her court, went on the
3rd to the church of Mocha, to pray for a happy
issue to her present condition. This religious cere-
mony attracted the whole population, but her Ma-
jesty's reetption is described as being cold in the
extreme.

Narvaez has written to say that he shall soon he in
Madrid, and that after a short stay he intends to go
to TrOj % for his health. His friends, however, seem
to think he will wait at Aranjuez for the meeting of
the Cortes.

The Espana announces that M. Escano has re-
signed the post of Governor of Ciudad Real, to which
ho was nominated by the Lersundi Cabinet. M.
Galiano, minister at Lisbon, had also offered his re-
signation, but it was not accepted.

RIOT AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY IN

HEREFORDSHIRE.

HEREFORD, SATURDAY,

Yesterday twelve men were taken before the county
magistrates, Mr. E. Griffiths, Mr. Wegg-Prosser, and Dr.
Lambe, at the Shire Hall, charged, under the 7th and Sth
Geo. IV., with riot, demolishing a house, and burning the
property. The case had been previously remanded, a man
named Cole, one of the rioters, having been so injured
during the transactions, by a heavy blow on the head, as to
cams apprehensions for his safety ; and the magistrates
were occupied in the investigation several hours.
The accused are—John Baskerville, P. Yeomans, Edward
Porter, William Cooper, James Charles, James Jones,
Wm. Griffiths, Joseph Coles, Nathan Lloyd, Thos. Grif-
fiths, and Joseph Dickenson.
The facts of the cue have already been given fully in the
Express of Friday, and several witnesses having deposed
to them, _ _ .

Mr. Pritchard, solicitor for the defence, contended that
the commoners could only be made amenable by died
action. By the 7 and 8 George IV., the offence was made
punishable with death, but it war also provided that where
the parties concerned acted under the bona fide idea of legal
right, civil action mast be taken, and he therefore con-
tended that the magistrates had so jurisdiction.

After deliberating in private, the magistrates committed
the prisoners on the charge of riot.

covirt iiTist.

Ides. Famstriztn,il.l3:,lnovid, present to notice,
" That a number ejection, not *sending elevate. nor lest
than lee, be appointed under the Act 16 It 16 Vie., cap.
81, intitaled ' As ant to elmealidate mil amend the statutes
relatisg to the messement tad Milendem et toasty rates ia
Eagland and Wales,' to he a einaMilltee /sit the purpose of
preparing a basis or standmed he a Me mad else wanly
me." He said that the send amid earnember that is
lbt6 they appeiated a select commitere Is eider es
a fair sad equal °suety rate. The eameektee repeated in
180 to the and the result was that the ramble pro-
perty was incroseed from six millions to sewsminims sad
a half. In Wee parishes—St. klarylebsme• Pt. Pancras,
and Paddiegtos—the rental was consideenkly Lai:raised,
with a view to taxation ; but the committee made in their
report a calculation that showed that, although in one of
them, for ultimo—at. llarylebone—the rateable value
was increased 129,0001., it would still pay a mailer amount
of nob rate than before, because there was soother
large parish, which he would not name, where property
was se far from being fairly rated before that it was in-
creased 100 per cent. He might be asked, where was the
nesemity of the motion he now made to the wart ? It
was necessary, because the value of the property in
the ditereat parishes was shamed ia many instances.
Besides the advantage of the mires itself, there was this
important Gas : they proposed to make ea memersent under
We sew set of whiniest, and this would be the last occa-
sion as which it would be neesse•ry for them to prepare for
a new county rate. In esaelnuon, he amared the court
that the subject had been so fay investigated by the yes.-
• as imeninittee, in which seaternent he was ear Mr. Wilke
would corroborate hum, that the trouble imposed on the
committee he now moved to be appointed would be
nothing I. eorparison to what their predaceous had un-
dertakes. _ _ __ _

Mr. Illerieent ADAMS briefly seconded the notion.
After eheervatiooa from Mr. Ken:ahead, Mr. Turner, Mr.
Woodhard, and other umbers of the court, the resolution
was pat and carried nosnimonily.

WATERFORD COUNTY.

Yesterday this committee, consisting of Mott. W.
0. Stanley (chairmen), Mr. Barrow, Sir If. Milford, Mr.
J. L. Ricardo, and Mr. Marshall, met to consider the elle-
ptious contained in the petition against the sitting mem-
bers for Waterford County.
Mr. Calvert, Q.C., opened the case for the petitioners, ex-
dainiag that the allegdtions contained in it were based upon
the grounds of bribery and kidnapping of voters, their
receipt of parochial relief within twelve months of the
tine of polling, and lees of occupancy between the
lists being sent is and the period of polling.
William Brien, sworn and examined by Mr. Middleman.
lle said—l am son to Patrick Brien, of Curraghroehe, who
occupied a house and land there. Be died 31st Den, 1861.
I was at the last election for Waterford county. I was at
Dungarees. My brother Patrick, a younger brother, voted
for my father.
Crose.examined by Mr. Meagher—My father wee " mid-
dling old." I have not seen my brother pay the rent, but
I know he paid the county tax, and perhaps the poor
rate. He was "setting up' for muter of the house and
farm.
Some corroborative evidence having been adduced,
The Chairman said a case of personation was proved
against Patrick Brien.
In another ease of a somewhat similar kind, the commit-
tee decided that the evidence was insufficient..

Two cease of personation having bees prosed to the satis-
faction of the ocumnittee, an adjournment took plane till to-
morrow (this day) at 11 o'clock.

SPAIN.

It is daily made plainer that the policy of the new
Spanish ministry is a bad plagiary from the other
side of the Pyrenees.
The Gazette of the 25th ult. publishes a royal
decree, dismissing the Governors of Seville and
Guadalajara, for no other motive than the failure of
the government candidates in the last elections.
London, England, 1853-03-04

The pviesser was further indicted for conspiring with
another, not ha enutedy, in obtaining the sum of 181. 181.,
from Mr. Robert Anderson, a reputable tradesman, at 25,
Westmoreland-plus, City-road, under the following extra-
ordinary cireunsatanees:
In November last an old an, purblind and led by a boy,
engaged a suite of apartments at prosecutor's home, repre-
senting himself es J. C. Rotten, a person of considerable
landed property, and the day following commenced opera-
tions b requesting his landlord to write • note to his
agent, Mr. Rickerby, of 1, Stamford-street, Blukfrien,
requesting his attendant's. The command woe replied to
by the prisoner, who asked for the blind gentleman, Mr.
Ranee, who, on seeing him, desired that the title
deeds of his property should be sent to him.
Prisoner, acting as clerk to this Riekerby, produced a
wket of parchments purporting to be leases of estates at
Leatherhead and Dorking, the property of J. C. Mitten,
Req. This atop was followed by • letter, purporting to
come from one of hie tenants, named Wilson, and contain-
ing a promissory note for 181. 18e., with but a abort time to
run. From the old man's infirmity, the papers reasonably
fell under the notice of Mr. Anderson, who, in full faith
that a man so &Meted would not make it the meats of
fraud, willingly cashed the bill, upon his lodger represent-
ing that until Christmas he should be in went of cult. The
note became due on the 28th November, and it wee ar-
ranged that a party of mutual friends, 27 in number,
should meet at • spread on the 27th. During the
dessert, the old gentleman, under pretext of mak-
ing further purcialse of wine, left the convivial
party, in company with Mr. Anderson's son as a guide,
got rid of the child, and made off in a cab. Shortly after,
the prisoner, who had been one of the guests, also decamped.
Of course nothing more was seen of them, the amount of the
bill and all expense of their living falling upon the prosecutor.
Robert Jefferi, an active detective Olen of the N division,
apprehended the prisoner at the news-room in Cheepside,
in January last, when numerous other charges were made
against him in connexion with the blind mart, who turned
out to be his father, both of them Riekerbya. The prisoner
erose-ezamined the witnesses in both eases with some acumen
and a vast deal of insolence, calling them perjurers and
liars until reprimanded by the Common Serjeant, Eliza
Anderson, the pueeentor's daughter, who spoke to impor-
tant facts, being in particular subjected to his accusations.
Prisoner, who made a long and rambling statement, pro-
tested his innocent:is.

The jury found him Guilty.
The prisoner then begged for mercy, and bursting into
teen said that the fact was ho had been deluded into the
acts. He had no friends nor witnesses to character, sod
only prayed for mercy.
The learned Common &donut then sentenced him to be
imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar
months.
London, England, 1853-03-04

MONTENEGRO.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna states that
the order to Omer Pacha to suspend hostilities
against the Montenegrins had reached the Seruskier
at his head quarters.
The newspapers bring reports of movements to the
Bth, but these aro of apocryphal character, and more-
over lose their importance now that the conflict is
suspended and the venue of the strife is changed.
The Augsburg Gazette quotes letters from Dalma-
tia, giving intelligence from Montenegro up to the
9th ult. The two Austrian officers sent to confer
with Omer Pacha had returned, and been received
by him with the greatest urbanity. They refused, how-
, ever, to accept of '2 Arabian horses, one of which Omer
Pacha intended for the Emperor of Austria, and the
other for General Mamula, who commands in hal-
lmatis. Omer Pacha promised to respect the fron-
tier. He is said to suspect Colonel Stratimirovie (of
the Austrian army) of secretly abetting the Montene-
grins. Osman Pacha entered Lescopolje on the 7th ;
his cavalry suffered much ; Kokoti and the left bank
of the Zeta are in his hands. There is a rumour
current that Omer Pacha, having on the Bth set out
to reconnoitre the country from Hadji Most, the
Zeta, swollen with the late heavy rains, carried off
the bridge, thus cutting off his retreat ; when the
Montenegrins fell upon the Turks during the night,
cut down several hundreds of them, and made 500
prisoners. A large number of the Turks are said to
have laid down their- arms; the rest, it is said, fled to
Spus.

Yesterday. at the meeting of the Court of Common
Council, Mr. Deputy Beseech moved that the freedom of
the City of Loados be presented to Dr. Hoary Austin
Layerd, as • testimonial of his persevering and zealous
exertions is the discovery of the long-lost remains of eastern
autiquitj, and for securing them in so perfect • state as to
demonstrate the accuracy of sacred history, and illustrate
the early history of the human race ; and for his indefati-
phi. labour end skill by which this country has been en-
abled to place such valuable memorials of 1111101411 t grandeur
amongst the collection of the British Museum. Mr. Ben-
umb, bating paid a high stead of proles to Mr.
Richard Taylor, tte original mover of the motion,
who, through infirmity, was unakle to be present, weal on
to state that on looking over the list of these who had re-
ceived similar marks of honour from the serposatim be
found but few civilises. Since 1800 fifty naval and mili-
tary heroes had received the freedom of the City, sad fifty
swords had been presented to them, amongst whom the
names of Nelson sad Wellington were to M found. Is
times of political eutteineat Grey, RameU, Althorp, and
Attwood had been bewared ; and whoa the public sym-
pathy bad bees reused in favour of a persecuted

BOW-STREET.

Mrs. and Miss Harsh ;11.olicrey7street, Bedford-square,
were summoned by two cabmen for paying them less than
thole legal fare.
The defendants is these eases were the popular actress of
the Strand Theatre and her mother, and the question
issue being one of distance, they had agreed to have the
ground measured. The first compLithant's cab was called
otf the stand in Totteuham.caurt-road on Saturday even-
ing, and the defendants were taken up at their residence;
but the second was engaged on the previous Friday even-
ing, at the corner of the tom et. The fare paid on both oc-
casions was Is., iocludtng 64. fur • third passenger; but it
aaaaa d taut, on measurement, that the distance betweeu
Mrs. Marshall's door and the stage door of the Strand
Theatre 'needed • mils by a few yards, while the dia.
lance from 'he stand was about as many yards within the

Miss Marshall complained that she was exposed to consi•
derablir annoyance, and sometimes to serious inconvenience,
tram the difficulty of pitting a cab on the rank in question.
Her professional duties often took her to the theatre two or
three times in the course of the day, but the whole of the
cabmen had apparently conspired to avoid her. Whenever
►he made her sp. 'stance at the wand, the men began
brushing up their cabs or polishing their harness, or falling
suddenly ssleep, while the waterman was sure to disappear
altogether. However urgent her business might be, they
continued deaf and blind to her appeal as long as possible,
and when at length one of them was compelled to take her,
he would proceed as slowly over the ground as be could,
purposely to vex her. Instead of inducing her to pay more
than the legal fare, which she had often dons, it bad driven
' her to the resolution do it again.
Both the cabmen declared that they " took up" at the
lady's door, but the disfeadants proved that this happened
on only *soot the two nights--" the thunder and lightning
night' (Saturday).
The waterman was examined upon this point, but his
evidence was deemed unsatisfactory.
M. Jardine said there was certainly something very like
collusion in this matter. The cabman who aro,' the ladies
on Saturday applied for his summons the next available day
(Monday), and it was not until alter this summons was
granted that the other cabman, on the following day, ap•
plied for hi. summons, although his ease occurred on the
preceding Friday. It turned oat that thedefendants were
right in his ease and wrong in the other; so that Mrs.
Marshall would have to pay the Sd. and oats is the latter,
and half the fee for measurement; bearing in salad, in
future, that the mile distawee terminated at the corner of
her street.

cated to her the order for her liberation was obliged
to inform her that he had full power to make her
leave her prison, whereupon she demanded a certi-
ficate in due form, stating that she had been forcibly

McDonnell, and said he was a native of Whitehaven. The
fellow admits his participation in the crime. lie even

and chuckles ever the circumstance that he had hitherto

DENMARK.

At Copenhagen, a new conflict between the go-
vernment and the Chamber of Deputies seems immi-
nent. Upon the proposal to take the new funda-
mental law of the kingdom of Denmark Proper into
consideration, the majority of the speakers energeti-
cally exclaimed against the abolition of the existing
constitution before the government had sub-
mitted to the Fonothing the draft of the constitution
for the whole monarchy. On the 11th, several
speakers appealed to the earlier promise of the minis-
ter Blume, who, however, remained silent; and the
ministry generally showed itself very reserved.
After a short discussion, under the presidency of M.
Tcherning, the Assembly decided, In it■ sitting of
the 14th inst., to pass over the government bill, and
to take as the basis of its deliberations the Danish
fundamental law of 1849, suppressing those articles
which belong to the constitution common to the en-
tire monarchy.
The electoral laws for the Duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein have just appeared. An elector in Hol-
stein must possess landed property of the value of
800 rix dollars; but for Schleswig, a property of 300
rix dollars suffices. In other respects, the provi-
sions of the two laws are pretty much the same.
The Assembly of States for Holstein will have 49
members; that of Schleswig, 43. Electors must be
25 years of age in Holstein, and 30 in Schleswig.
Deputies can only be elected for the district which
they inhabit. No persons who enjoy the benefit of
the amnesty will be allowed to vote.

SPAIN.

The resolution of the government relative to the
Northern Railway, was, says the Diario, about to be
published in the Gazette; but it was said that it
considered the demands made by M. Salamanca with
respect to it exorbitant. The Nacion states that, on
account of the existing complications of Europe, the
Spanish government intends to send a reinforcement
of 4,000 men to Mahon.
The Progresista senators and deputies, and the
editors of the journals of that party, hal held a
meeting, at which they resolved—l. unite all the
forces of the liberal party, in esti*r to combat at the
tribune and in the press. 2. To accept the co-opera-
tion of all those who were anxious to strengthen the
power of the Cortes, to defend the liberty of the
press with all its consequences, and to establish free-
dom of election and a system of government founded
on morality.
