QUEEN SQUARE.

Snocxtt& Drptt Avery.—tl. most distressing and disgrace-
fail spectacle was, on Friday, exhibited at this office: it arose
out of an examination of a petty assault. The complainant was
the son.in•law of a WO:11411 who is the owner of a considerable
number of little houses iu I'ye4‘lll.4 and the Broadway,
Westminster, which are all occupied by girls that have been
debauched and devoted to prostitution. He stated, that his
wtfe, who was the daughter of this woman, tell his house on
Tuesday night last, nod ltd not return home till the next morn-
ing: he and she had, in consequence, unpleasant words ; and
she directly after left the house, and returned with lair mother
and two sisters, who set about him anti beat him, and tore Ins
face. lie now wished the Magistrate to bind them over to
keep the peace towards him; for he knew, if they were nut
bound, that they would come to his house, backed by about it
hundred bad women, and he should be in danger of losiug his
life. Mr. Fielding asked him why the bad women would assist
her iu such proceedings r Ile replied, that if they were to
refose, she would directly turn them out of their lodgings ; that
she had at this time, he supposed, at least tail ludgeis, all ptos-
litaites ; and he knew that some of them were nut more thou 12
years of a ze, and snore uf them younger. Mr. Fielding ordered
the ufficeis to go to the place, and to bring all the girls whom
they might find in the different moms. They went accordingly,
and in a short time returned with :ilium SO. They said they
could have brought 300. Four of them were children übitt:t
12 years of age, a.td one; only between 10 and 12, was shuck-
ingis disorder. d.
Mr. Fielding ordered the officers to take her to St. Martin's
workhouse ; and for thy other children they were to provide
I.4lgingts till they could In sent to their friends. One child,
onl fourteen, %silo bad lately left Hampstead workhomse, and
bad been harboured in one of this vile W0111411'3 rooms, was so
d teased, that Mr Fielding said he would get her Tutu the Luck
Ilospital. then adth•essed the woman, and informed her,
that if an indictment id Id be preferred against her, she miciit
depend upon it her punishment would be pillory and Colititle-
in -at for life ; and if she or her daughters went to the house of
het sun-iu-law to make soy distnuhatcc, hr. would, upon his
complaint, send them all to prison.

Thursday the Kir44.l Theatre, for the performance of '
Italian Operas, held under a lease for many years to come,
at a rent of 151;01. per annum, with all the scenes, de-
corations, dresses, music, &c. was sold by the Master in
Chancery to Mr Waters for 41,00(1. It is now, there-
fore. to be hoped, that as all legal contention will cease,
this Theatre, which from the number of subscription sixes,
its extent and beauty, as from having the exclusive licence
to perform Italian Operas, may be made the most splen-
did in Europe, will t.stinie a :2haraeter worthy the metro-
polis of the British Empire. Considering the number of
boxes (198), and the immense sum which the building
cost, it was thought that it would haw sold fur 100,0001.

Tcdy of Maebeth, in which Mrs. SIDDONS was to per-
firm Ladu .31arbeth at "the express command of the
I'rincess Charlotte of Wales and the Prince of Saxe Co-

and Circulated, stating that her Royal I fighness still re-
Inained so indisposed as to be unable to come to the Thea-
tre ; of which notice had been received in the morning►
from Camelthrd-house. The Managers, considering the
number of places taken, and the want of sufficient time to
give information to the public of the disappointment,
cpresented the matter to Mrs. SIDDONS, who, therefore,

4RELAN'II

Ur. St."Lastrente. an excise Officer, who was carried off in
the 'sight from his house at Cookstown. in Ireland, some tissue
ago, by a number of men who broke into it, has happily re-
turned to his family. It appears it was the intention of the vil-
lains, on taking Mr. St. Lawrence from his own house, to pat a
weight to his feet,lind throw bins into a deep lake in the moon.
tains ot 'some short distance. They;however, soon changed
their Plan, and proceeded with their captive, who was, it may
be recollected, without •any covering but a shirt, until they ar-
rived at a cabin on the t uad, about three miles off; where, after
arsine altercation, a pair of old small clothes was given to the
unhappy prisoner, to defend him a little from the signors of the
eight. Thus equipped, he was carried, in a state of uneertaiuty
itS to his fate, about 12 or 13 miles further, through a Mountain-
ous tract of country, and then removed from the horse on which
be had been tied, into a dark apartment in a waste house. A
bandage was then fastened across his eyes, with an injunction
not to remove it on pain of death. In this di eadful situation
he remained during the whole of the fallowing day, and the
succeeding night was removed across the mountains to another
place equally unconithrtaldt% During his captivity (a hide
continued for 13 6,, and nights,) he was never suffered to re-
main more than two nights and din one place ; all of Which
time he was nearly without clothes, except in his nightly ex-
cursions, when something like a wet sack was thrown over his
shpuldeis.—Victuals were else, hoitai., denied him ; but the
fLitse of their being poisoned prevented him from eating any
thing but eggs. The effect of the cold on het frame was such,
that when at one time he was admitted to a fire, tf^ mat red Isis
feet to remain on the burning coals without feeling any pain,
until the embers had almost etnhedded themselves in the flesh.
To the judicious measure of the Judge at the last Omagh as-
sizes, it is thought that Mr. St. Lawrence is indebted for li-
berty and life ; as.each of the persons against whom he had
sworn informations for having private stills in their possession,
&c. was there seotenced to three years imprisonment, subject
to mitigation should Mr. St. Lawrence be produced in court,
Or restored to his family. This had the desired effect, as he
was soon told by some of his keepers that they bad come to the
resolution of giving him his liberty. He teas accordingly led
to a moss in the mountain, where the band3o was removed
from his eyes, and he was left to nuke the best of Ids way home.
He had not, however, proceeded far, when, startled by people
following, -Ile lay down flat among a quantity of heath until
they passed; and by this means saved his life, as it turned out to
be a party of the villains who bad repented of allowiug him la
escape.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION.

Tot:Louse, Arum 18.—This city has just stiffered n 'fright-
fnl calamity. Tuesday, the Nth of April, the powder mills
and magazines sitnuted in the Isle d'Augouleme. exploded at
live minutes past four with a dreadful noise. Three explosions
succeeded N% ith the rapidity of lightning, and threw the city
into alarm and confusion. Frightened by the violence of the
explosion, the shaking of the buildings, the falling of the in-
ternal partitions, the tall of stones and pantiles, and the break-
ing of glass which fell iu the streets, the inhabitants at first
thought that this disaster was produced by an earthquake or a
meteor.— It was soon known that the powder-mills had ex-
and that the first explosion was that of the graining-
house ; the second of the grand magazine; and the third of the
little magazine. Yoon afterwards :to imiueuse number of gar-
ments and ot latman bodies were found scattered in various parts
of the town. The body of a lad), and that of the son of the
It:rector of the establishment, were found. This lady's ease
was very unfortimate ; she had long wished to gratify her cu-
riosity with a sight of the Isle d'Angouleme, and was accom-
panied by a beautiful girl, her daughter, and a young man who
was betrothed to her: all these perished! Several mutilated
bodies have been found so far oil as the opposite banks of the
Garonne. All yesterday workmen were employed in digging ;
but very few whole bodies were discovered ; some were round,
however, w hick had neither mark of wound nor contusion. Of
fourteen workmen employed in the mundfactory dnly three
were saved. About sixteen persons in all are supposed to
have been killed, and about four arc dreadfully wounded. All
the Wilding, on the spot where the accident happen. d are
completely destroyed. The site of the powder magazine pre-
sents sin extensive excavation of about rnenty ft et deep and
200 broad. The trees along the banks of the river were torn
up by the roots and thrown into the stream. Enormous masses
of stoneNvere carried to a considerable distance, and several
houses in he city were damaged by Atones falling on the roofs.
The mills blown up contained about 12:0 gunnels of powder.

A few nights since a threshing machine belonging to Mr. J.
Fenton, of Whelnetham, was set fire tn. on the premises of
Mr. Sarjciult, of Cocklicld, and eutirely couetuutd.

HAYMARKET.

This, the oldest ,o rarer Theatre iu the metropolis—
the remembrance of which is ever connected with the
recollection of Foote's broad humour, and of Colman's
si,arkling wit—and which has many claims on public
patronage, as having been the point from which several
actors, of firt-rate eminence, commenced their profes-
sional career in London—was on Monday night opened
};:e the season. The interior hos been newly painted—
and the general appearance of the house is light, airy,
and elegant. Macklin's satirical Comedy of The Man al
the Itarld was selected fin- the occasion, and was pro-
duced with great strength and effect. The company is
composed of a selection of eminent perfinmers from the
two winter theatres, and a few provincials ; and with
every prospect of success Lam the talents that arc en-
gaged.
The Castle Spectre was the play of Tuesday.—Mr.
hleg!..;et, who was brought out last season, acted Osmond
with considerable effect ; and Mrs. Egerton made her first
t,ppez,rance on these boards, as Angela, and was honoured
with general applause. In The Review, which was the
Ltlerpiece, Fawcett was the representative of Caleb Quo-
Lan (his first appearance these eight years at this House).
-1 his performance furnished the accustomed treat, and
left the audience nothing to desire. A Mr. Crisp came
tinlVartl as John Lump, and was tolerably successfid.
Tokely was the Looney, Mrs. Gibbs the Grace Gay-
lave; aaa th.r Farce went off with great eclat.

of the day: we shall not endeavour by surly criticism or
afii•eted candour, much less by heedless and perverse hu-
mour, to expose private infirmities, or extend trifling
scandals, if any such were found to exist. It will be, on
the contrary, our chief aim to direct the attention of the
public to the curly progress of our great and eminent
Lawyers, to point out the peculiar qualities in which they
have excelled; to trace the Calliel of their elevation to
their rank; and to exhibit to our readers a just and
faith-
ful picture of their merits as Jervinas of the Crown and of
the Public. .
We have for some time mole preparations in collecting
materials, but as there are :nuny circumstances of edu-
cation, and interesting anecdotes in early life, which it
would be very desirable to know, but which cannot be
often gathered from ordinary sources, we shall be grate-
ful to any of our correspondents who, by furnishing us
with correct dates, will enable us to render our sketches
more complete and accurate.

Tuesday night, after the Opera of The Siege of Bel-
Trade, which was repeated with great success, a new
Operetta (as it was called in the bills) was acted for the
first time, under the title of Is He Jealous The busi-
ness of this trifle arises out of the anxiety ()fa fashionable
'Lady to aivaken the a%ctions of a philosophical hus-
band by milking him jealous. The return of her sister
flom the Continent, a high-spirited widow, assists the
plan she has thrmed ; and the sprightly Ilarriet, accou-
tred us a be.7.u, makes love to her sister befiire her bus-
LuntCs flue.; who, of mune, f4vours the joke, till the lat-

VISIT Or PIINCENS cII4IILOTTZ AWD PIIWCT 13:0TALD, AND

OF THE ODLE OF WELLINGTON.

This splenditl Eetablishment exhibited on Tuesday
night one of the most brilliant and crowded audiences
that we have seen during the present reason. The
Princess Charlotte and Prince Leepeld entered the lie-
gent's box soon after nine o'clotl, and were greeted, as
usual, with that respectful and enthusiastic welcome to
which their exalted rank so justiv tntitles them. We
lave now to notice another entri.:-c which was marked
with the strongest feeling we ever witnessed—a feeling
naturally 4wcited by the presence of the greatest General
England, or any other country, ever had to boast. It is
scarcely necessary to name the Most Noble the Duke of
Wellington. His Grace arrived at the Theatre about a
quarter before eleven o'clock, and t as in an instant re-
cognized by the whole of the audience. It was no com-
mon welcome: the Hero was cheered and huzzaed from
all quarters of the house, and they were repeated again
and again, until, apparently, the excess of the pluudits
rendered almost powerless the enthusiastic admirers of this
great man. The air of " See the Conquering I
conies," was delightfully played by the whole of the Or-
chestra, and followed by the national Air of " God save
the King." This was sung in admirable style by the
('ompany employed in the Opera, and Joined most heart-
ily by the PAncess Charlotte and all the audience stand-
ing. The (feet was itoposii:g in the extreme ; and we
witnessed i:, as did the distinguished visitors present, as '1
a treat seldom to he met with, and with the most extra-
oratary pleavure. The pikes for the evening were
7aint,' the Divertisement of ' Endyntiore, and the new
Pallet, entituled ' Emmeline.' Each was received with
marked approbation.
