.ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

The revival of Mazeppa bas been attended with a
success unprec, dented. Tnis being the first time it has
been played under the management of Mr. Wm. Cooke,
great was the expectation among the patrons of this re-
nowned establishment. On Monday the theatre was
crowded to the very roof by an audience who testified
their admiration of the superior manner this Byronial
spectacie.was placed on the stage. The ecen ery, dresee4, and
anpointmentegained fresh laurelsfor the persevering lessee,
Toe acting deserves especial notice. To particularise
one would be unfair, as ail wrra excellent. To Mr. W.
West much prai-e is due ff,r the arrangement ,Pf the
effect. The gem of the piece was Mr. William Cooke's
highly trained Mazeppa steed, which eclipsed all his
predecessors. On the whole, this revival may be fairly
tamed a genuine hit. The Scenes in the Circle evinced
much talent, both native and foreign. A visit to this
emporium is, indeed, a treat.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 9.—The latest news from
Kars is of the 23d ult., and of a nature to excite
the greatest anxiety. The Russian army, under
the command of the celebrated General Muravief,
had not moved from its quarters at Zahn, as eight
siege guns were on their way from Gurnri, and
until their arrival nothing will be undertaken.
The Cossacks, in the meanwhile, had advanced on
the road to Erzerouna, as far as Gill Chaer, and
besides cutting off the communications of our

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 13th publishes the
text of the despatch addressed by the Duke de la
Victoria (Espartero) to the Captain-General of
Catalonia on the disturbances at Barcelona.
The Duke begins by stating that ho has heard
with regret that the workmen, misled by the
enemies of liberty and public order, invoke
his name as a sort of justification for their dis-
obedience to the laws, and their disregard of
-authority; and he states that he cannot allow
his name to be made the banner of an insurrection
against the throne of Isabella and her Government.
He assures the workmen that the Government is
occupying itself with their position, and will pro-
pose measures for ameliorating it to the Cortes ;
and he exhorts them, by the regard which they
have for him, to return to their work, and to
quietly respect the laws until the Cortes shall have
decided what is to bo done. He concludes by
stating that, although ha will do all he can for
the workmen and other classes of citizens, he will
severely chastise any who shall violate the laws,
conspire against liberty and public order, or dis-
regard the authority of the Cortes or of the throne
of the constitutional Queen. The Gazette pub-
lishes, after the above, a telegraphic despatch
dated the 11th, from Colonel Saravia, who was
sent to Barcelona on a special mission, announcing
that, after long conferences with the delegates of
the workmen in the name of the Duke de la Vic-
toria, the men had now consented to return to their
work at the same rate of wages they received pre-
vious to the strike ; that it had been agreed that
any future differences which might ariso should be
submitted to a mixed jury of masters and work-
men ; and that the men arrested were to be punished.
"Already," says the Colonel in conclusion, " nume-
rous manufactories have recommenced their opera-
tions, the assemblages have ceased and order reigns.
The principle of authority remains intact, inasmuch
as no concession has been made, and as all orders
are executed."

GREAT REDUCTION IN THE

FROM

FIVEPEN CE-HALFPENNY

FOURPENCF;

FOR THE THIRD 'OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Starni
Duty on Newspapers the public in al,
large cities and towns to which parcel
are forwarded by the News-Agents, Ti,"
Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing;
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-
ing, together with the List of Army and
Navy Promotions in the London Gm'ette,
with Official Despatches from the Seat o!
War, the Latest Sporting, and all othei
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,
eze,, &c., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
-which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places,
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.
WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18.
CRIMINAL COURT.
(Before Chief Baron Pollock.)

Phczbe Mason, aged 27, servant, was charged upon
threeseveral, indietmente with administering poison to
Wm. Hardy, John Hardy, .and George Hardy with in-
tent to murder them, at Halesowen, on the 11th of

Air. W. H. Cooke appeared for the prosecution ; the
prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that in the month of November last the pri-
soner was sent for by the wife of Wm. Hardy, a brick-
layer at Oldbury, and asked to stay with her and nurse
her during her illness. She consented, and, as the sick
woman died in the course of the same month, the pri-
soner continued to live with the husband, and took care
of his children. There was no doubt, upon the evi-
dence, that she had always treated the children with
the greatest kindness up to Wednesday last, when
she was seen to take upstairs a. cup, saying she.
was going to give the children, who were in bed, some
Benne, tea. She immediately afterwards put on her bon-
net-and went to the house of her-sister-in-law, and told
her to fetch the doctor to the children. This was imme-
diately done, but before the doctor could arrive a young
woman who was downstairs in the house heard the child-
ren cry, and going up to them, found that they were all
sick and vomiting. They complained of great thirst, and
in consequence a considerable quantity of milk and water
was given them to drink. When the doctor arrived,
two of the children appeared to have recovered, but one
of them, the eldest, was suffering from depression, aris-
ing from vomiting. Search was made, and in an adjoin-
ing room a cup was found containing some senna leaves
"and sugar of lead, and on further examination of what
had come off the stomachs of the children there could
be no doubt that they had taken sugar of lead. When
taken into custody the prisoner admitted what she had
done, and gave as a reason that the father
had promised her marriage, but had slighted her,
and that, such was the love she bore the children, she
could not bear the idea of being separated from them.
On the part of the prisoner a long statement was read
which she had made before the magistrates, the sub-
stance of which was that she bad yielded to the solicita-
tions of the father of the children on receiving a promise
of marriage, and that he had since slighted her. She
also repeated the statement which she had before made
of the love she had for the children and the pain she felt-
at the prospeCt of being separated from them.
A most excellent character was given to the prisoner:
for humanity and kindness.
Chief Baron Pollock having summed up tne evidence;
The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner
Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy.
Sentence deferred.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

The revival of Mazeppa, hag been attended with a
success unprecedented. This being the first time it has
been played under the management or Mr. Wm. Cooke,
great was the expectation among the patrons of this re-
nowned establishment. On Monday the theatre was
crowded to the very roof by an audience who testified
their admiration of the superior manner this Byronial
spectacle was placed on the stage. The seen ery, dresseA, and
appointment. gained fresh laurels for thepersevering lessee,
Tne acting deserves especial notice. To particularise
one would be unfair, as all were excellent. To Mr. W.
West much praise is due for the arrangement of the
effect. The gem of the piece was Mr. William Cooke's
highly-trained Mazepp& steed, which eclipsed all his
predecessors. On the whole, this revival may be fairly
termed a genuine hit. The Scenes in the Circle evinced
much talent, both native and foreign. A visit to this
emporium is, indeed, a treat.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 13th publishes the
text of the despatch addressed by the Duke de la
Victoria (Espartero) to the Captain-General of
Catalonia on the disturbances at Barcelona.
The Duke begins by stating that he has heard
with regret that the workmen, misled by the
enemies of liberty and public order, invoke
his name as a sortwof justification for their dis-
obedience to the laws, and their disregard of
authority; and he states that he cannot allow
his name to be made the banner of an insurrection
against the throne of Isabella and her Government.
He assures the workmen that the Government is
occupying itself with their position, and will pro-
pose measures for ameliorating it to the Cortes ;
and he exhorts them, by the regard which they
have for him, to return to their work, and to
quietly respect the laws until the Cortes shall have
decided what is to be done. He concludes by
stating that, although he will do all he can for
the workmen and other classes of citizens, he will
severely chastise any who shall violate the laws,
conspire against liberty and public order, or dis-
regard the authority of the Cortes or of the throne
of the constitutional Queen. The Gazette pub-
lishes, after the above, a telegraphic despatch
dated the 11th, from Colonel Saravia, who was
sent to Barcelona on a special mission, announcing
that, after long conferences with the delegates of
tho workmen in the name of the Duke de la Vic-
toria, the men had now consented to return to their
work at the same rate of wages they received pre-
vious to the strike ; that it had been agreed that
any future differences which might arise should be
submitted to a mixed jury of masters and work-
men ; and that the men arrested wereto he punished.
"Already," says the Colonel in conclusion, " nume-
rous manufactories have recommenced their opera-
tions, the assemblages have ceased and order reigns.
The principle of authorityremains intact, inasmuch
as no concession has been made, and as all orders
are executed."

THE ROYAL VISIT TO PARIS.

The Independance Beige contains the following letter
from Calais :

" I am able to inform you, in a manner almost official,
that her Majesty Queen Victoria and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert w 11 disembark here on the morning
of Friday, August 17 ; that they will sleep in this city
and leave the following morning for Paris. Her Majesty
and the Prince Consort will pass the Sunday in private,
and will not receive officially until the Monday.
" The English Admiralty has already sent one of its
officers to take the necessary steps for the disembarka-
tion. It is believed that the Emperor will be here to
receive the august visitors, as, in addition to the Impe-
rial Palace, which is being prepared for the Queen and
her suite, an hotel has been retained for a high person.
age.
" The' city of Calais, proud of the preference which
Queen Victoria shows in choosing that port, is preparing
to give her Majesty a worthy reception.
Capt. Feudal', courier of the English Cabinet, landed
yesterday morning, bearing the portrait of her Britannic
Majesty to the Emperor.
" His Highness Prince Lucien Napoleon Bonaparte
embarked yesterday morning for Dover on board the
steamer Iraperatrice."

A letter from Odessa, iu the Cologne Gazette,
says :

" We learn from Sebastopol that the arsenal, the ma
gazines, and ail the important edifices of that town,
have been undermined by order of General Osten-Sacken;
also that preparations have been made for destroying the
fleet."

The Journal de St. Petersbourg announces that,
by the order of the Emperor Alexander, the Court
of Russia has gone into mourning for ten days, on
the occasion of the death of the Archduchess Maria
Dorothy, widow of the Archduke Joseph, and for
five days on the occasion of the death of the here-
ditary Princess Charlotte of Saxe-Meiningen, a
F'ru,3ian Princess by birth.
A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Borsenhalle
of Hamburg, states that the company of maritime
assurances for the White Sea, formed in 1848, has
been obliged to wind up its affairs, in consequence
of the blockade of last year.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

-
The Italian Opera season recommences here on Wed-
nesday under the direction of Mr. E. T. Smith, who
really seems to be the only man who can do anything
with this theatre.

From the extensive arrangements made, and the
numerous engagements still pending, the enterprising
lessee seems determined that nothing shall be wanting
on his part to insure the public an opportunity of hear-
ing some of the finest Italian singers at moderate prices.
Mr. Smith has been wise to make ballet a prominent
feature in his programme, and in orc'er to give due effect
to it the services of Madlle. Palmyra, have been engaged
as premiere danseuse. 'We wish the lessee success in his
new undertaking.

WOODIN'S OLIO OF ODDITIES.

On Saturday evening Mr. Woedin appeared at the
Polygraphic Hall, King William-street Strand, in a new
entertainment, which, from the success that attended its
first representation, bids fair to rival in attraction his
celebrated "Carpet Bag and Sketch Book." The Olio
of Oddities consists mainly of materials collected during
a tour in the romantic lake districts of England. The
first part of the new entertainment opens with an embo-
diment of one of those " animated sandwiches" who are to
be met with in all ourleading therougbfaras, and concludes
with an impersonation of M:ss Clara Chattaway. The last
portrait is, wMout exception, the " great part" of the
entertainment. Admirable as was the portrait of Mrs.
Mugglee in his first entertainment, Clara Chattaway of
the present one eclipses it. Among the half-portraits,
the inveterate smell-least, Mr. Gustavus Gabbleton, the
sweep, and the policeman, are the most graphic. A t the
conclusion of the entertainment the applause was im-
mense, and Mr. Woodin may fully calculate upon re-
peating his Olio a thousand and one nights. The hall
was crowded to suffocation.

MAYNOOTH.

The Earl of HARROWBY. in reply to the Emil of
Winchelsea, stated that he had received a cornpkint
from the professors of Maynooth, stating that their evi-
dence bad been privately used by Dr. Cullen tf)
the propaganda at Rome that their opinions difnred
from the high Rowan authorities. He (Lord Harrov‘ ';y),
in reply, had told them, that the evidence having 'An-
mately become a public document, and known to the
world, its early communication to Rome by Dr. Cullen
merely anticipated its knowledge there ; so that it •vas
erroneous to impute the private connection to the effact
that had been imputed.

PARIS, SUNDAY.
The following private telegraphic despatches
were received yesterday :
" VIENNA, 12th.—Letters from Sebastopol state that
a great part of the allied fleets, with troops on board,
passed Yalta on the 4th, steering towards Anapa."
" MADRID, 11t13.—The nomination of the successor of
the Minister of Spain at Washington, M. Cueto, has
been postponed until after the arrival of the next mail
from the Havannah."

The Court of Cassation, in its sitting of Saturday
afternoon, rejected the appeal of Pianori against
the sentence of death passed upon him by the
Court of Assizes of the Seine for his attempt
against the Emperor's life. The appeal was sup-,
ported on behalf of Pianori by M. Delaborde, and
opposed by M. de Glos and the Procureur-General
M. de Royer.
Owing to the great number of English now in
Paris, a new Evangelical chapel is to be opened

FRENCH RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—As a train from Bou
logos was on Wednesday approaching the station of
L'lle-Adam on the Northern Railway, it ran into a goods
train, and between 40 aiA 50 of the passengers were
more or less injured—none, however, fatally. Some of
the carriages were a good deal damaged. The train
arrived in Paris over two hours behind timo. Tho above
account appears in the French papers, but a letter from
the secretary of the company says that instead of 40 or
50 only 4 persons were injured.
TOWING A MARINE BOILER FROM IRELAND TO LIVER-
POOL.— Last week, one of the steamers plying between
Liverpool and Newry, sailed from the latter place, hav-
ing in tow a large marine boiler, which had been made
water-tight for the occasion. The steamer made capital
way, and all went right for some time. Night coming
on, however, by some means the boiler got adrift, and
the fact was not discovered for some time—we are in-
formed, not before daylight. The boat was Pu.l; about,
and, after steaming about for a considerable time, fell in
with the boiler, which was being driven Dicing before the
