WAS yesterday repeated his statement of the
transactioas, and also presented to the Court
letter addressed to him by a Gentleman who
accompanied him on the day of the Nom!, which
folly corroborates the original representation made
by the Sheriff. This paper. with two letters that
passed between Mr. W•lTNlian and Lord
Bresuase, was ordered to be entered upon the
Journals, and referred to the Committee of General
Purposes. The subject is one that involves a con-
sideration of the privileges of the City of London,
and we hive no doubt that upon a matter of so
much importance the Corporation will be alive to
the assertion or whatever may contribute to the
honour as well as to the intereita of the City.

The Beggar's Opolea was repeated last night to
tau exceediugly crowded and most respectable ati.
thence, who dealt out their applause' with most
liberal and unsperiag lauds. Mies Bulls, the
lady who made her first appearance in Captila
Neches/A the other night, improves rapidly epos
acquaintance. She has acqvired a considerably
increased share of confidence, and the firmness and
precision with which she struck every note filled her
soditors with astonishment and delight. She was
rapturously applauded in every song, and enthu-
siastically encored in "When the heart of a anent is
deprest with care." "The first time at her looking
ghat," and "Hots happy could I be wish either.'
The first was given with exquisite taste, and the easy
grace and playful humour with which else accom-
panied the ether two, was irresistible. The pecu.
her depth and richness of tone of her lower notes
were most skilfully and agreeably developed in
" Hark! I hear the 1411 the bell." Miss K.
CORat also, an Polly, gives greater pleasure with
every succeeding repetition of the perforinane, as
does Mrs. JONas in Lucy, and so uhundunt sod
grateful harvest of approbation nightly crowns the
exertions of each. The excellent qualifications of
the three ladies we have named, combined with
the rich humour of TERRY, in Peaches', end the •
rare display of characteristic villainy and low cun-
ning displayed by Mr.. J. Rout:tag in Filch, give
a zest to the present cast of this opera, which can-
mat hat Increase the regret with which we view the
approaching close of the season of the performances
of this favourite little theatre.

gaiety seems on the Wane, though we were iu hope, ,
by the splendid arrivals announced in the Weil-,
mouth Paper, that our recent cheerfulness wpm •
have revived. The intended hall at the Asseinlily-
rooms, on Friday the 19th instant, failed, as a few
gentlemen only made their appearance. Among
the varieties designed to attract attention were the
Outinian Lectures, but the Lecturer left the town
after the delivery of one on Monday to still fewer
auditors than they seem to have ever assembled,
even in places equally unaccustomed to them.
It will be seen in an advertisement in front of
our Paper, that Mist. CLARA FISHMI wilt perform
at the English Opera House on Wednesday next.
This is the extraordinary young lady who, at Drury-
lane, about roar years ago, astouished the town by
her admirable performance of Richard the Third.
Pizarro averaged 41401., and Henry the Fourth,
'with the Coronation, 5001., the first twenty nights
of their performance ; but bets are now laying by
theatrical sporting gentlemen, that the Axi le, with
its unparalleled pageantry, magnificent scenery,
and excellent acting, will win hollow.
The Edinburgh theatre opened on Monday for
the season. The entertainments were The Wonder,
and The Coronation. Mrs. H. Sinnott' appeared
as Viuleuite in the comedy, and her reception of
course could not hut be gracious. Most of the
performers remain who belonged to the company
last season.

The 19th regiment, stationed at %Veedon, re.

morning. to march at day-break fur Liverpool,
where they expect to embark for Ireland. We are
happy to prevent the alarm which the circum-
stances of this order are calculated to excite. The
Dublin Papers of Tuesday lag contain the grate-
ful assurance that the judicious mixture of temper
and firmness now exercised by the Government
and the local authorities, has been attended by
the happiest results, to which the zeal and energy
of the Catholic clergy in the disturbed district
have materially contributed. Through their
mice a quantity of the stolen arms has been do..
livered to General Sir JOHN LANISILT,

—A boat with six men belonging to the Lively Ex-

at about two o'clock, off Folkstone, about 200
yards from the shore, when unfortunately only one
mars was saved. The Lively cutter had been
chasing s smuggler. and got so near the shore that
the Captain was obliged to send the boat which
upset in after her. The smugglers threw their
cargo overboard, and afterwards succeeded in
reaching the shore, where they were secured by the
4sieri belonging to.the coast blockade."

ATIL—The demand for plaidingo at the Mi.
chselmos fair, on Tuesday, was far from being
brisk. The supply at market was larger than
common, and the buyers were not so numerous as
we have Ikea them. We observed only four prin-
cipal dealers liom Glasgow, and there were but
few purchasers from Kilmarnock. The proportion
of laid platdings exposed was considerably greater
than that of the finer kinds. Laid brought from
yid. to 10d. ; coarse white from 11d. to Ir. ; and
lase white from Is. Id. to Is. 2J.
