The intelligence from Colombia is, upon the whole,
highly satisfactory, notwithstanding the unpleahant feelings
inspired by the presence of the French squadrirti on the
coast of Venezuela. The Vice-Presidetat had revelled the
proclamation of martial law in that department, and pub.
lie confidence seemed to be fully restored. ' ' -

that Foote vessels of war arrived at Marti- 'Nue from France, on the

of the IVtli February, thus making the

Mr. Secretary CANNING appeared in his place in the
House of Commons last night, for the purpose of present-
ing the copies of three Treaties lately concluded by this
country. The flrst was with Sweden, relative to the Slave
Trade. We have elsewhere given an abstract of its con-
tents. The second was with Russia, relative to the claims
set up by that Government to she sovereignty of the North II
West coast of America. By this Convention the limits of
the territory of each l'ower are defined. We have pub-
lished this document entire. The third Treaty was
that of amity, cornatere?„ and navigation with the
United Provinces of 11:o ale la Plata. By the arrivals
from Buenos Ayres we were enabled to publish this very
important Treaty some days ago. The Right Honourable
Secretary, we hear, still labours considerably under indis-
position. The tone in which he spoke was unusually
I feeble, awl his appearance was not entirely such as the
friends of the country wish it to be.

The West India Cal,npany Bill pacsed last night by a
majority of 103 against 64.5. 'lle opposition which it had
to encounter confined itself to a reiteration of those argu-
ments which have already been so ably examined and so
completely refuted in this Journal by our Correspondent
INDEX. Its opponents; however, appear to have entirely
abandoned one of their main Akita, that of seeking to deter
the public from the scheme, by a representation of the
present depressed state of the property which it is the
avowed design of this Company to purchase. It is not
without reason that they-have relinquished an argument so
ill calculated to assist their views; for nothing can be
plainer, than that if this Company have now the opportu-
nity of purchasing property which is suffering an unex-
ampled depression, but at the same time a depression
proved to be both accidental and temporary, it follows
necessarily that an early alteration will take place; and
since this property is on all hands allowed to be now at its
lowest point of depression, the alteration to which we look
forward must be for the better.

The CHANCELLOL of the EICHEQUEIt last night
brought forward the important subject of the Judges'
salaries. It is proposed to abolish the sale of certain
offices, by which the Chief Justices now obtain a consi-
derable proportion of their emoluments, and to increase
their salaries so as to compensate them for the loss. The
future income of the Chief Justice of the King's
Bench will be fixed at 10,000!.; that of the Chief
Justice of the Common Pleas at 6,000/. ; and that
of the Chief Baron of the Exchequer at 7,000/. The
Puisne Judges will all be raised to 5,0001. Some op-
position was offered by Mr. DENMAN to the increase
of the salary of the Puisne Judges, but he was ably
and conclusively answered by Dr. LUIMINGTON. If any
thing remained it was well supplied by Mr. PEEL. Con-
sidering the arduous and laborious duty of the Judges, and
the essential importance that they should possess the
means of supporting their high station in a manner wor-
thy of their rank and talents, we had not anticipated any
objection to this grant even from the most economical Mem-
ber of the Opposition. Mr. DENMAN argued, that "a!1
pretence" for charging the Judges with sinister motives
should be removed; but we apprehend that, while they re-
ceive any salary at all, some "pre/race" will always exist
for calumniating them. Suppose a member of the Com.
mon Council to move the reduction or abolition of the
Common Sergeant's salary, on the ground that Mr. DEN-
MAN should have an opportunity of proving his disin-
terested affeetion for the administration of justice, would
Mr. DENMAN feel that the City of London had such
claims on him as entitled the Corporation to require the
sacrifice of his professional income for their benefit?

1,11 I , aIO?IDAT EVENING.
The extraordinary panic that seized the speculators on the Stock
Exchange about a fortnight since, has been followed by one equally
violent and unaccountable this morning. Consols opened at 1404
foe Money, and 91 for the Account; but a very sudden anti unex-
pected fall almost immediately took place, and the transactions
were done during the remainder of the day at the following
quotations : for 31oney, 901 II t. for the Account, 140 j j, 90.
Various rumours, as • matter of course, were in circulation,
to „account for this rapid and extraordinary decline. Among
the most prominent were the unsatisfactory state of his Majes-
ty's health, the certainty of an insurrection in Ireland if the
Catholic Relief Bill be thrown out to-morrow night in the House of
Donk, and the equal certainty of an immediate Dissolution of Par-
liament should it be read a second time ; but the leading cause,
we have no doubt, may be traced to the operations of jobbers, many
of whom (particularly those of the Jewish persuasion) have sold
largely to-day.
Although this was settling day in the Foreign Stock Market, the
business in it was comparatively unimportant. As far as the set-
tlement of accounts went every thing passed off with pertect regu-
larity, and the Consols Market was the great point of interest.
All Foreign *trinities, however, were worse, as it was natural to
expect from the state of those belonging to this country. Greek Scrip
suffered the greatest depression ; it was done as low as 7 61 discount ;
still remits best acquainted with Greek affairs were large buyers.
The Bonds were 50. Taking into the account the general gloom of the
market, Spanish Bonds maintained themselves tolerably well.—
' The old were 23 j, and the new 18j 19. South American Secu-
rities were a good deal affected. Colombian Bonds were 001 A, and
Mexican Scrip 24 j discount. Brazilian Scrip was japremium, and
Danish ditto 3 24 discount.
The transactions in Shares were limited to the new Potosi at ei Is
the General Mining Company at Bt 9j, and the Pasco-Peruvum '
at 101 11.
There were no private bargains done in Sugar to-day; Coffee
was mere sought a:ter, and the price MU firm.

of their flag ; and they mtttually consent that the ships of their
royal navies, which shell be provided with special Instructions for
this purpole, as hereinafter rntutioned, shall visit such membeat..i
Vessels of the two nations as may be suspected, upon reemenblel
grounds, of being concerned in the traffic of slaves contrary to the
provisions of this treaty, and in ease tflerear may detain and bring
away such vessels, in order that they may be brought to trial in the
wanner stipulated in the fourth Article of the present Treaty.
In order to explain the mode of execution of the preceding Ar.
tide, it is agreed : •
1. That sue!: reciprocal right of visit and detention shall not be
exercised within the ,Illeditemasean Sea, nor withih the European
Seas lying without the Straka of Gibraltar to the northward of the

If, contrary to all expectation, the commander of a ship of war
of either of the two Governments employed in the suppression of
t.te olive trade, should have ressonsblegrounds for suspecting that
a ship, under convoy of the other Government, should, in fact,
have on board slaves destined for sale, or be otherwise engaged in
the traffic of slaves, contrary to the provision of this Treaty, he
shall address himself to the commander of the convoy in order to

slaves.
Articl s 3 and 6 provide for the indemnification of th se
vessels which may suffer illegal or arbitrary detention.

clamation of the King of Sweden, declaring that every
ship bearing the Swedish or Norwegian flag, which shad
be found employed in the slave-trade, shall not be entitled
to claim the protection of that flag. Some of the annexes
describe the instructions for the ships of the British and
Swedish navies, and others relate to the constitution of the
mixed Courts of Justice. One of thew., Courts will be at

In the Name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity.
iii. Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and his Majesty the Emperor of All the /tunable,

de Poletica, his Imperial Majesty's Councillor of State, &c.
Who, after having communicated to each other their respective
full powers. found in good and due form, have agreed upon and
signed the following Articles
I.—lt is agreed that the respective subjects of the high
contracting parties shall not lie troubled or molested, in any part
of the ocean, commonly called the Pacific Ocean, either in navi-
gating the same, in fishing therein, or in landing at smell parts of
the mist as shall not have been already occupied, in order to trade
with the nativet, under the restrictions and conditions specified in
the following tricks.
2.—ln order to prevent the right of nav'giting and Gibing, ex-
ercised upon the ocean by the subjects of the high contracting par.
ties, from becoming the pretext fur an illicit commerce, it is agreed
that the subjects at his Britannic Majesty shall not land at any
place where there may be a Russian Establishment, without the
permission of the Governor or Commandant; and, on the other
hand, that Russian subjects shall not land, without permission, at
any British Establishment on the Nonh West Coast.
3.—The line of demarcation between the possessions of the high
contracting parties upon the Coast of the Continent, and the Islands
of America to the Ncrth West, shall be drawn in the manner ful.
lowing :
Commencing from the Southernmost point of the Island called
Prince of Wales Island. which point lies in in the parallel of 54
deg. 40 mm. North latitude, and between the 13Ist and the 132c1
degree of West Longitude (meridian of Greenwich) the said line
shall ascend to the North along the Channell called Portland Chan-
nel, as far as the po:tit of the Continent where it strikes the 56.11
degree of North latitude; from this last-mentioned point, the line I
of demarcation shall follow the summit of the mountains situated
parallel to the coast, as far as the point of intersection of the 141st
degree of West longitude (of the same meridian); and, finally,
from the said loins of intersection, the said meridian line of the
141st degree, in its prolongation as far as the Frozen Ocean, stall
form the limit between the Bossism and British poFsesaions on Mai
Continent of America to the North West.

4.-11'ith reference to the line of demarcation laid down in the
preceding Article, it is understood—
First. That the Island called Prince of %Vales Island shall be-
long wholly to Russia.
Second. That wherever the summit of the mountains which ex-
tend in a direction parallel to the coast. from the Sikh degree of
North latitude to the point of intersection of the 141st degree of
West longitude, shall prove to be at the distance of more than ten
marine leagues from the ocean, the limit between the British Pos.
sessions and the line of coast which is to belong to Russia, as
above-mentioned, shall be formed by a line parallel to the windings
of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten ma-
rine leagues therefrom.
6.—lt is moreover agreed, that no Establishment shall be formed
by either of the two parties within the limits assigned by the_ two
preceding Articles to the possession■ of the other; consequently,
British subjects shall nut form any Establishment either upon the
coast or upon the border of the continent comprised within the limits
of the Russian Possessions, as designated to the two preceding An.
titles, and, in like manner, no Establishment shall be formed by
ItusTan subjects beyond the said limits.
6.—lt is understood that the subjects of his Britannic Majesty,
from whatever quarter they may arrive, whether front the ocean on
from the interior of the continent, shall for ever enjoy the right of
navigating freely, and without any hindrance whatever, all the
rivers and Treating which, in their course towards the Pacific Ocean

in Article 3 of the present Convention.
7.—lt is also understood that, for the grace of ten years from the

in Article 3, for the purposes of fishing and of trailing with the
natives.
B.—The port of Sitka, or Novo Archangelsk, shall be open to
the commerce and vessels of British subjects ter the space. of ten

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
A new romantic drama, entitled Faustus, was broilglit
out at this Theatre hat night.
The story of Faustus is one which is familial to us from
our infancy, and still maintains its fearful and terrible in-
terest over our maturer years. There is something in
the tale which, wild and improbable as .it is, conies home to
our hearts, and mists up with the incredible and the extra-
vagant feelings and aspirations of .a. truer and more lofty
character. We confess we never like to contemplate. the
simple source from which this history of marvels originated)
and we would willingly blind•ourselves to the truth of his-
tory, and find a snore remote and philosophical cause for the
surprising feats of Wirteitherg's learned Doctor than
the bare invention of the' aist of printing. The story, if
invented by the snore subtle Greeks, would have passed for
a refined allegory ; with its it has originated in ignorance,
and the mistake of a mere matter-of-fact. Yet, such as it
is, we like it principally because it smacks of power, and
deals in that strange vet every-day desire which we all feel
to go out of and beyond ourselves—stretching our minds
into fresh fields anti fancies, and eternally pursuing that
moral and physical perfecticn, which, like the horizort is
ever before and above us, but is still wideninle and receding
uwe advance. Some of the greatest minds of our own
and earlier times appear to have contemplated this strange
and mysterious subject with similar feelings. Marlow has
thrown the weight of his " mighty line' into the English
Faustus, and Coethe displayed his amazing powers in.. the
Oerfnan Fans'. Notwithstanding the choice of these
mighty masters, we are by no means of opinion that " the
Life, Death, and descent into Hell" of Dr. Faustus is a
proper subject for stage representation; but we have only
to take thingsas we find them. The plot of the present
piece (if that word can be properly applied to a naked suc-
cession of incidentr, scarcely combined and not at all intri-
cate) is soon told. Faustus (Mr. Wallack) appears in.the
first scene in the midst of the Dracheidels, with the fated
volume in his hands, and just after discovering the necro.
mantic spell that is to endue him with supernatural power.
Mephistopheles (Mr. Terry.) ascends from the earth, and
the compact is made which constitutes him at once the
master isul fervent of the ill-starred Doctor. The scene
1 changes to VI nice, and Far stus is transported thither by
his familiar. From Venice our scholar carries off el4itre
(Miss Stephens) after hav:ng first killed her brceher Enrics
(Mr. Penley) in single combat. lie soon tires of her, and
the deights of supernatural palace, and the convent of
Methistopheles, and reetins to Venice on another exp&li•
tliticn. width he coneults with tile abduction of ROIOIIU,
(Miss I. Pa:on ) cousin to his former mistress. But:
hie attempts upon her peace are interrupted by a
v a't from the famhars of the holy office, anti he
is lodged in a dungeon of the inquietion at Venice.
Mephistophths anears, r attics him from his cap-
tivity, and transients him by magical aid to Milan,
where he introduces the crime-stained scholar into the
royal chambe-, and pr veils on him to murder the King of
Milan. Tills is no sooner clone than the remaining cha-
teeters appear, and Fau.l as is sent to,the lower regions, like
our friends Dos Juan and Caspar. '!'here, is a something
which it would be bearing &lee witness to call an underplot
(indeed the play is alyg ther i mount of plot), for the pur-
pose of' introducing Barley as Wagner, anti Knight as
lire villa, the former of whom talks Latin to ladies, and the
latter, love. We have thus rehearsed the substance of fhe
story of this drama pro lu.no puhlicn, ani shall make no
Comment on it. In the dialogue there are some gbod
points,
and the character of. Mephistopheles is well drawn
end well acted :of that more anon. Indeed the author,
whoever he be, could hardly fail to introduce something in
the shape of' the piquant and the pathetic, with Goethe inkl
Marlow before his eyts. That he might have done better
there is no.doubt, but let us take what we have got, and
be thankfill it is no worse. It has been already remarked
that subjects like the present are not the material for stage
representation. 'there was a time when an author would
hare feared to introduce the devil into a drama, lest it
should lead to the damnation of his pima, but we enter-
tain no qualms of this kind at present. Musicians and
poets have lent their aid to make those diabteries imposing,
and our scene paints have put
" Their pcnTramic views cf hell in training,"
and the mechanist comes in to complete all with sulphut
and teen. We owe all this to the Germans, who are cer-
tainly the most practical people breathing, and delight in
I attempting to teafi.e the wildest sallies of the imaginatiten.
The overture of Foust/is is from Weber, and has some
capital tnovemen's, but that of his &rise/adz has spoiled
us for all other overtures. The rest of the music is a me-
lange to which Bishop, Horn. and Cooke have contributed
it possesses considera'sle merit, particularlyltwo airs in the
first and second acts, which were sung by Miss Stephens.
The scenery and m chanical department have been executed
in a manner that is above all praise, anti excited the lively
approbation of the audience. Mr. IVallack is not pre-
cisely in ac:orriance with one's preconceived ideas of the
Wirtemberg Doctor; however, he is a g rod melo-dramatic
actor, and got through the latter scents with considerable
bustle and effect. Mr. Browne, as the C. We de Carauter,
had an empty and talkative Nobleman to perform, anti he
was empty and talkative. Wagner and Brevillo were well
played by Messrs. Harley anti Knight ; and the females
were very ably sustained by Miss I. Paton, Miss Porey,
anti Miss Stephen. ; the latter tidy was in delightful voice.
It has been sometimes the custom with country managers
to get an actor to play two or more characters in the same
piece, anti this is technically called " doubling," but on tile
present occasion the manager has procured two actors to
perform one character, that of Mep/iistterhe/es, who was
made in this manner, not
" Two single gentlemen rolled into one,"
e__.

out
"One single gentleman rolled into hen,"
Messrs. Terry and 0. Smith sustained this part, and by
their division of labour attained a very preternatural share
of übiquity in some scenes. The dry iron and sarcastic
tones of Terry harmonized excellently with the fiend, and
any one who has seen Retsch's illustrations of Fa:..rt must
have been delighted with the ascot aey of the ecaunme worn
by this actor. In a word, much expense, together with a
Prologue, has been lavished upon this melodrame, and we
trust it may recompence the treasury : we are inelined to
