amusing piece de circonetanre, from
the practised pen of Mr. Stirling Coyne, was produced here
yesterday evening, and met with complete sucoms. Itla
entitled " This House te be Sold (the Property of the late
William Shakespeare), Inquire Within;" a title which sug-
gests the naiure of the plot. Mr. Chatterton Chopkina, a
cockney (Wright), who has come into money, with
which he wants to cut a figure in some novel way,
purchase' Shakspears'a house, and goes to take pos-
session of it. A bed being made up for him in an
old box he falls asleep, and to him, sleeping, enters
Shakspeare, who after a melancholy review of his ill
treat:intent in London, where, when he only asked for bread,
they had given him a bunn, calls his c)iaracters around
him, and recommends them to take to some other mode of
obtaining a livelihood: Othello (impersonated with much
humour by Paul Bedford, who sings various nigger songs
with ludicrous effect), being a black man, may safely remain
as he is ; Macbeth, having done something in the mangling
line, is to turn the mangle for Lady 11., who is to take in
washing, and out, at last, with the damned spot ; Shylock
is to become a manager; Romeo and Juliet are to
do poses plastiques, and so on. The piece abounds
with sharp hits, which told well. The scenery does infinite
credit to Mr. Pitt, who painted it from sketches taken b
himself on the spot. The view of the Avon and the church
at Stratford is very effective; but the most interesting picture
is that of the Skakapeare Chamber, every detail of which is
exactly reproduced. 0. Smith, a very master in the art of
dramatic dressing, makes up capitally as Shalapeare. We
have no doubt that the piece will have a long run ; and we
have great hope, moreover, that it will tell well upon the
public mind in the present juncture.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.

We have accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to
the 6th of April, but they add nothing to the news
prey lonely received. Matters on the frontier re-
mained much as before.

IN the House of Lords last night Lord BROUGHAM
Inquired whether it were tree that the Irish judges
intended to postpone the circuits, in consequence of
the prevalence of infectious fever in Ireland. The
LORI) CHANCELLOR'S reply was not heard, Lord
CAMPBELL observing, that, at the time when the
cholera raged in England, such a course had not been
even thought of. The Earl of ELLENBoitouGH, with
reference to a despatch, which was stated by the
French papers to have been forwarded to the Prince
de Joinville, requiring him to proceed with his
squadron to Lisbon, begged to ask whether the Prince,
as senior officer, as was usually the case in com-
bined operations, would take the command
of the combined fleet —The Marquis of LANSDOWNE
only knew that certain French ships had been gent
to the Portuguese coast, but he was not aware what
officer had the command. The Poor Removal (Eng-
land and Scotland) Bill passed through committee,
after a strong pretest from the Earl of WICKLOW.—
In reply to the Bishop of EXETER, the Marquis of
LakanowNe stated what had passed between the
Wesleyan body and the Committee of Council on Edu-
cation, on the subject of the educational grant; some
further discussion thereon taking place at the instance
of Lord STANLEY. On the motion of the Earl of
EoturroN, the bill for the future regulation of voting
at the election of representative peers for Scotland,
was read a second time.
In the House of Commons, the Warwick County
Prison Bill was read a second time; but on the ques-
tion, that it be committed on a future day, the house
!twitted, when the motion was negatived by a ma-
Jority of 19, the numbers being 60 to 41. The bill
was consequently lost. In reply to a question put
VLord G. BENTINCE, similar to that asked in the
ouse of Lords, Lord J. RUSSELL replied that as far
at the English admiral at Lisbon was concerned, he
bad been instructed not to take the command of the

The grounds on which they rely for consideration
are sufficiently obvious. In a season of suffering and
scarcity their very inadequate means have scarcely
enabled them to beer up against the pressure. Their I
salaries, wholly insufficient for comfort at all times,
were in the past =dreamt season down to that point
of depeemica at which existence is barely sustained.
The small sums derived from school contributions
ceased altog and they were left to the miserable
pittance of ether,
the state. As they touchingly observe,
" Oar salaries being now our only means of sub-
sistence, we can see nothing in the dismal prospect
before us but the sufferings and privations
inseparable from such a combination of adverse cir-
cumstances." Economy in some departments might
well be practised, to enable the commissioners to
afford, at least, some temporary relief to such of the
poor teachers as are left solely dependent on their
salaries.

rata was an Illegal !policed= of the fund in question—
"Attorney-General v.Vivian " (1 Russ. 228).—Mr. Renshaw
appeared for the trustees, the churchwardens, and overseers
of the parish.—His Honour made an order declaring that the
rents of the farm were applicable in the first instant* for the
'rapport and repairs of the parish church; and, it being sug-
gest= that the annual rent of the farm exceeded what was
required for that purpose, a reference to the Master was
directed to approve of a scheme for the application of the
stnplua rants, deny, from time to time, in the hands of the
trustee..
Tea Dente OP BIAVFORT V. Sin JOHN MOZILIB AND
LNOTHIL—INJUNCTION.—MV. Walpole, Mr. Ruch, and
Mr. Fuller were heard for the defendants, and Mr. W. M.
James in reply, in this case, which was mentioned in our
impression of yesterday. The defendants had, for many
years, been the lessees of a considerable mining district, in
the neighbourhood of the river Tawey, in Glamorganshire,
and having opened several mines, they connected them by
means of shafts, so that the water from the whole flowed into
the lowest mine, called the Landon mine, which they held,
for a term, of the plaintiff. The water, as it accumulated in
the lower mine, wu raised to the surface by means of
pumps, worked by a powerful steam-engine ; all the minor
being thus drained by the same apparatus. At
the ex Oration of the lease of the Landore mine, the duke
entered into possession thereof and discontinued the working
of the steam-engine. The Landon mine having thereupon
become flooded by the influx of water from the defendants'
mines, the bill was flied by the Duke of Beaufort as tenant
for life, and the Marquis of Worcester as tenant in tail of the
Landore mine, to restrain the defendants from working their
mines to the injury of the plaintiffs. An order had been
made upon motion by the Vice-Chancellor of England,
which had been affirmed upon appeal by Lord Lyndhurst,
whereby an injunction was awarded to restrain the defen-
dants, their servants, workmen, and agents, from doing any
acts, and from digging and working their coal mines in the
pleadings mentioned in any places which might injure or
endanger the plaintiff's mines till the defendants had put in
their answer, or till further ender of the court. This order
the plaintiffs now sought to perpetuate.—His Honour re-
erved his judgment upon the cue.

APRIL 3,

FORORRT.—John Charles Tapp, a miller, was indicted
(or forging a cheque to the amount of 901. 164. with intent
to defraud John and Samuel Rutter, and also Stuckey's
Banking Company. The prisoner lived at Holcombe, near
Shepton Mallet, and dealt with Messrs. Rutter, corn-factors at
Bath. On the 23rd January last, be received from that firm:
a cheque fur 9L 16e., drawn on Stnekey's bank at Wells.
On the 25th January, the prisoner went into the Royal Oak
public-house in the market-place at Wells, carrying • smock-
frock on his arm, and wearing a brown great coat. lie
called for a pen and ink, which were at once handed to hies.
He then took a piece of paper out of kis pocket, and in the
present* of several people wrote something upon it. Im-
mediately afterwards he inquired for Stuckey's bank,
and having tied a handkerchief round kis neck, he
went away, leaving the smock-frock on the table.
It was then about three o'clock, and at that time
• cheque for 901. 16s. was presented at the bank. It was
cashed by Captain Giles, the manager of the hank, and he
observed that the man presenting it had a muffler tied round,
his mouth, and a shade over his eye ; the latter appeared to
be attached to his hat. Captain Clilee's firm belief was that
the prisoner wu the man. He stated that his name was
Fussell, and that he lived at East Harrington. The rector
of the pariah being in the bank at the time, stated that he
did not know a person named Fussell living in his district.
Suspicion was therefore excited, but by that time the man
was gone. The cheque was then examined closely, and it
was found to have been altered, the syllable "ty " being
added to the " nine "in the body of the cheque, and the
fi at the bottom being made to correspond. In the
afternoon of the same day, the prisoner was seen at Shepton
Mallet, a few miles from Wells, and he then wore a white
amock-frock, but no shade over his eye. Various circum-
stances were deposed to leading to the conclusion that the
prisoner bad deliberately planneirthe forgery, and as delibe-
rately carried it into execution. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence,
14 years' transportation.

IRELAND,

DUBLIN, Nsaos 31.
The Mayo Constitution, a landlord journal, as it is
termed, states that " some of the farmers cannot pur-
chase seed. Why don't the landlords do it ?" The
same journal acknowledges that 20 per cent, of the
labourers on the works in that county might, with
perfect safety, and with all consideration for the
destitute, be reduced, if the relief committees would
exercise a proper discrimination. In the absence of
that scrutiny, the inspectors of works have been
obliged to act as they best can.
The people of Kilkenny have adopted a very
marked method of manifesting their horror at the
murder of Mr. Prim, the pay-clerk. Some peasantry
called at the police-barrack, where the wounded mur-
derer expired, and representing they were his friends
and relatives, his remains were delivered to them.
These they forthwith conveyed away—dug a pit,
and casting them therein, threw in quick-lime, and
covered them with earth. Those who know the
habits of our peasantry—the extreme regard they
show for the remains of their friends, and their
anxiety that their bodies shall always be deposited at
least in consecrated ground, will understand the deep
exasperation which could prompt them to violate the
usages and ceremonies which invariably in Ireland
attend the burial of the dead.
In the west of Cork fever is rapidly extending, and
so inccaveniently small is the hospital accommodation,
that recently "some families " afflicted with the ma-
laria have taken refuge under the arches of a bridge
called the "Priest's Bridge," near Ballintrassy,
where they are attended by the physicians and main-
tained by some ctable persons in the vicinity.
Capt. Badgeon, thecaccessor of Major Parker, In-
specting Officer, who recently died of fever at Skib-
bereen, has resigned his office, to quit the district.
Mr. Alcock, J. P., an active member of the relief com-
mittees, has fallen a victim to fever ; and the suc-
cessor to the Postmaster at Skibbereen, who recently
died of that disease, now lies ill.
Emigration is augmenting with the advance of the
season. In Cork the emigrants arc generally " respect-
able farmers," and from other districts it is the same
class which takes departure. Seven emigrant ves-
sels are ready to start from Cork ; and from the wart
of Mayo," every vehicle" which approaches the ports
is daily crowded with emigrants.

Ron:nano, MAT 17.—The deficiency in Coe supply
of food has created disorders in this town. On the morning
of the 17th, about 60 peasants presented themselves at the
Town-hall, requiring the authorities to give up to them the
parish funds, amounting to 10,000 florins, in order to enable
them to buy corn. Their modest request having been re-
jected, they went and surrounded the residence of the chief
of the district, who only pot rid of them on promising to

morning, with • slight recovery of prices. Consols
were quoted the same as they left off yesterday at the

afterwards there was a tendency to decline, and
they were called NI to I for account, at which, how-
ever, scarcely a transaction took place. They have

DOLCURSTER, FRB. R.-There was a full .ttendanoe to-
day, and a good show of Wheats, nearly the whole of which
was so much • of of condition as to be frequently re:uswil ;
this fact caused the trade to rule lenguid, coupled with great
reluctance on the parts of the sellers to take short of Ird
week's prices . hut at length they gave way, and prices acre
relluml 3r. per qr. for ordinary parcel., and 2s. fur than
in better condition. Burleys were a fair supple, and the
turn higher, from Is to 10. 6d. per qr.; while Onto remain
without any visible alteration. The offers of Beans and
Peas are so trifling, that we are unable to form any criterion
of their value here, and thee remain nominally the same.

DUBLIN, Pas. 6.
The Secretary of State for the Home Department
has addressed a letter to the Lord Lieutenant respect-
ing the measures for the temporary relief of destitute
persons. A summary of this document is subjoined:
After stating that the board is to be formed in Dublin,
with Sir John Burgoyne at its head, Sir George Grey

unions in Ireland, in which it shall appear that extraordi-
nary measures of relief are required, a relief committee *hal
be established, under instructions to be givon fur this pur-
pose by your excellency, who will be entrusted with a large
discretion in the composition of it. The duty of these com-
mittees will be to ascertain, as far as possible, from time to
time, the number of destitute persons within the electoral divi-
sion for whom relief is to be provided; with reference to this
duty, instructions will be furnished to them front the central
board. Funds are to be supplied : fleet, front the ratesamemed
and levied within the union by the board of guardian, for the
relict' of the poor. Secondly, from voluntary subscriptions,
either local or received from any general fund raised by
charitable eontributious.—Thirdly, fromgrante of money from
the public treasury, the amount of whick will, as a general
rule, bete a certain proportion to the aggregate amount de-
rived from the two former sources ; such proportion how-

The Paris journals of Sunday have brought no

paragraph respecting foreign relations in the address
was concluded. M. Berrycr delivered a speech, which
all the independent journals agree in pronouncing one
of the finest pieces of eloquence er delivered by that
orator in the Chamber.

A private letter, received at Marseilles, from Algiers,
has brought the intelligence that the 19th Regiment
has fallen into an ambuscade prepared by the Arabs,
and the entire body made prisoners. Marshal
Rugetud has not disclosed this event, although it is
generally known at Algiers.

present inenoure nu* a considerable step in the right di.
rection.

Mr. FRENCH called upon the colonial interest to unite
with the agricultural in endeavouring to regain protection_
the good old system 011 which the country had so long
flourished.
Mr. Al. MI LNES, on behalf of his constituents, requested
the Chancellor of the Exchequer to extend the provisions of
the bill, so as to include the use of fresh liquorice juice,
(Laughter.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to
accede, observing that, though liquorice might be very
agree.thle in itself, it would have a very deleterious effect
on beer.
The house then went into committee on the bill.

Mr. NEWDEGATE agreed with his hon. friend the
member for Somerset, and sal the party with whom he 4414
had determined not to oppose the locum, he would not
obstruct its progress. He, however, protested splint the
bdl being considered permanent.
After a few words from Sir W. CLAY,

ThTliarq uis of G ItANBY said he h'opod the bill would
not he made permanent, because it might operate prejudi.
cially to the colonial and agricultural interests. If the object
of the bill w is to increase the consumption of malt, it would
not answer the purpose for which it was intended, so he un-
derstood its sole object was to reduce the quantity of barley
consumed,

------,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said test
he had stated when the price of barley 11&11 very high and Tlis
price of sugar reasonable, the latter would come into use end
malt not he KI much consumed.

The elatubet were then agreed to. Before the house
returned,

Mr. T. BARING observes that he could not allow the ball*
paw this stage without a comment upon the incotthisteney of our
legislature last year and this year. Last year all our object
was to reduce the price of sugar for the consumer ; now our
object seemed to be to raise the price fit the purposes of the
dealer. The measure was introduced under false pretences.
It never was, and never would be, a measure of relief to the
corn consumers, and as fur the cqlottial interest, he very
much doubted whether a few years hence they would deems
this bill a immure of relief fur themselves. (War, beery
from the opposition.)
The Chairman then left the chair, and the bill was
ordered to he real it third time.
