The tragedy or lone Slsor.e was preseuted last
alight,. and tuvroduced a young Lady in *he part of
.kgss .84isioe, her that appearance on any stage.
Bdocitiouriosity was of coulee excited, and it seem.
ed to be of a very impartial kind. The 'writs of
the fair candidate seemed to be very scrupulosity
scanned by the aedienee, whose marries. were
never more fairly won From them. She is of a
good stature, and of en engaging figure; she has
'much personal grace, and a titer voice with a so-
Irina tope. Site got through the first scouts with
Alicia arid Lord liostings very creditably ; bat she
did not get the full aired of iipprobatton due to
her till the scene with Glo'sler. In which sloe has
to ghee her high zeal for the interests of the King.
Here she displayed her powers to the fullest, and
peeved that she had vialeretoed the subject sibs ass
upon in all its relationships of Aerometer, hittory,
✓ed poetry. From this to the conclusion she was
meet with unreserved admiration and applause in
all 'be did. Her whole appearance and cunduct in
1 be last scene were terribly true to imbue, mad arla
mend made her auditors wish that the bovines. of
that part of the play had been of a less harrowing
kind in the text. Yet she blended the spirit of
her ioregoae dignity with the emaciated hurrocof

)r so, there is much credit mutually reflected: for
she less been taught a judicious and happy eco-
nomy in using the graces of elocutioo, which will
secni e her a long triumph in her professional ca-
reer. Mr. KEAN performed the part of Lord
Hastings, and morally iesigoificaut as it is is the
writing, he gave • separate and striking identity,
and from a series of incideate comparatively mean,
he vaned the delineation, by • charm pecuhar to
his style, to • nobleman of political eminence—.
baring the frailties of common men. but the ability
to grace them with the dignity of his station, and
defend himself from their concomitant reproaches
by the proud tone of his feelings and the demeanor
of met used to imperious command. ilia scene with
Clo'sier, when the latter is trying him with regard
to his own views on the crown, was a fins sad ori-
ginal specimen, comprising that historical scope of
conception sod view for which Mr. KEAN is re-
markable. There was much tenderness ilt his
last interview with Alicia. The sentiment is too
common to be made striking. but he gave it all
Ore pathetic force of which it is capable.
and produced a corresponding impression in
the audience. Mr. POPE performed Dumont with
great satisfaction to the house. Mrr. Eneacoir
gratified all expectations that could have beam
formed of her as to Alicia. Mr. COOPER was un-
usually vigor/int stud impressive in the stern and
unibitious Glu'sler, and threw • new and deadly
gleam of light on the ferocity of the character by
his manner of dooming Hostiogs to death. The
falling of the curtain was followed by very loud

The Dew burletta called afertesis gains ground
nightly in the favour of the audience at this emot-
ing little theatre. A new piece, in one act, named
Nortlda's Wand, or ?he Palace of Statists, was
produced on Thursday, end repeated last night.
It is the tale of a Princess, secluded by her guar-
ellen, an km:huntress, io au enchanted palace, that
she may persist her *Ladies, and become proficient
in every species of mental • seembiolishment, before
her nurod•liecomes distracted' by the cores of tita
world, and her heart entangled iu the snores Of Imre,
Iler only human companion is her Tamale atten..
daunt, who is intrusted by the Encluintreas-with a
wield of power, to give a teniporaryaisimstion to
the %trove* which admit the palace, for the porpOilit
of affording entertainment to the captive Prince
By this attendant a l'riiice, who has seen and I,S-
-come enamoured of the Princess, is introduced
into the palace; and• finding his way into am apart-
ment where the is *limping an a couch, imprints
kisa on her hand. The Proice-s, who is dreaming
of the pretence of an animal of a species hithertw
unknown to her, wakes at the touch, und catches
it short glimpse of Win as he hastily migrate, and
haws to recount her dreum and adventures to her
atteudaid, who presently informs her that the being

GRAHAM V. WHITMARSH AND OTHERS.
This was an issue sera to be tried is Ireland, to
settle the disputed legitimacy of the children of
Major James Graham. The verdict of a Jury at
the last Cork Assizes was affirmative. A new trial
was new sought on aft affidavit of the Solicitor,
shoving that there was misdirection in the charge of
the Judge, and a total neglect to advert to the ma-
terials of very conflictiog evidence produced on the
trial.
The TiCii-t cmoa itlli
, ilsought that it must
have been irregatir in the Coast to have remitted
the issue to• Ireland for trial, as there was no ade-
quate communication between the jurisdictions by
which the Court could obtain the Judges' minutes
and the notes of the proceedings.
The verdict being had under an irregular order,
goes for nothing, and the case must abide the deeia
Lod of a rehearing. air.

Mr. SCARLET? add d the Triers, stein*
briefly the question which they had to iry.l44
should prove that Mr. Sheriff Opirratt was one of
the Members of this Siciety, by a list of names de+
'tiered in pursuance of the role of Court, by e
Attorney fur the prosecution to the Defendern's
Attorney, us a list of the Association; and Ur !Si
list Mr. Garratt's name was included. It might
be raid he was not now a Member of that Associa-
tion; but if he were at that time a Member of the
Association, he was a prosecutor still ; for though ne
might have withdrawn his name, he bud not withdrawn
Lis money, and was in the situation of a person who
took his statue out of a mercantile firm but left his
money in. Such a man was still a partner; there-
fUre all that lie should skew them was, that Mr.
Gerratt was a member of the Society when the pro-
secution commenced. Ile found he was misialfeal
in saying the list of the Association was ;deli-
vered in consequence of a rule of Court ; such t
rule had been obtained, and the attorney for the pro-
secution, on notice of it bring given to hint, laid
the list had already been given.
The Learned Counsel then called -- Deter-
port, the Defendant's Attorney. He stated that he
attended at the Crown Office relative to striking
the Special Jury, sad he then applied to Mr. Mut.
ray, who appeared as Solicitor fur the proseeetitm.
to furnish him with the list of the personas compos-
ing the Society galled the Constitutional Aseacia-
tion. In consequence of his request Mr. Murray
sent him a letter with a list enclosed.-IWitness
put in the list.]—lt was ailinitied by Mr. Murray
that the Constitutional Association were the proses
eutors. In the list there were two persons of the
name of Garratt—Sir George Garrett, and Robert
Garrett, Alderman, against whose name, in the list
taf eubscripliona, was five guinea*. This bit he
received from Mr. Murray nu the 29th of May
