S7'. JAME S' S THEATRE.

The series of German plays terminated last night
at the St. James's Theatre with Faust, the success
of which on its first representation led to a general
request for a repetition. The cast was slightly dif-
ferent from that on the Tuesday preceding, Frau
Stolte taking the part of Gretchen, instead of Frau-
lain Schaefer. Frau Stolte's naiveté was charming,
and she threw great intensity into the closing scene
in thee prison, where joy and despair are so skil-
fully mingled by the poet. Her description of the
murder of her child—the horrors of a public execu-
tion conjured up before her tortured imagination—
her tender affection for her seducer, which burst
like rays of light through the dark foliage of her shat-
tered reason— were all admirable pieces of acting.
Emil Devrient as Faust, and Herr Kuehn, Mephis-
topheles. The soft•flowing declamation of the former
is something admirable. Herr Kuehn has displayed
intellectual powers in the appreciation and interpre-
tation of the parts allottei to him, that place him
high up in the list of dramatic celebrities. Frau
Fluddt has made the part of Martha her own. As to
the other members of the corps, we can but once again
praise them for the careful study and attention they
have evinced on every occasion. Mr. Mitchell, the
enterprising lessee of St. James's Theatre, has afforded
us a literary treat of a high intellectual order. The
masterpieces of the two great dramatic writers of
Germany have, for the first time, through his means,
been ably brought before a London audience, with
occasional selectickns from Lessing, Kotzebue, and
other writers. We may add, that the audiences have
been peculiarly constructed, consisting chiefly of per-
sons devoted to literature. The theatre has often as-
sumed the appearance of a study, the majority follow-
ing the actors book in hand, and line by line.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
The lecturer on chemistry, Mr. J. H. Pepper, is
delivering a popular discourse here on a subject
which has already attracted considerable attention,
vie., the purity of the Burton bitter ale, as brewed
by Messrs. All,op and others. The lecturer observed
that • the', scandalous charge of adulteration, which
arose from a mero statement, or rather observation,
made by Payer (the great French chemist), without
any improper motive; had been met in the most spi-
rited 'manner by ten of the firms at Burton-on-Trent.
Their beers had been analysed by other chemists be-
sides himself, and were found to be perfectly pure.
Independent of all chemical analysis, the peculiar
and terrible symptoms which arose from the poison
strychnine were sufficient of themselves to betray its
presence to any medical man. After this vegito-
alkaloid has been taken in a fatal dose the unfortunate
person displays the most unbounded terror, the ner-
vous system is fearfully agitated, and generally the
victim will particularly request not to be left, and
has even been known to cling firmly to the friend
who would leave even for a moment to procure the
necessary assistance. Contractions of the limbs then
set in, and exhausted nature only closes the dreadful
scene with the calm peace of death. We know that
malefactors might attempt to destroy their victims by
this cruel death, but we are convinced that no brewer,
however great the gains to be secured might be,
would peril his soul with so wicked and monstrous a
sophisticate .of the beer he sells to his fellow-creatures.
Amongst the numerous experiments illustrating
bre win, fermentation, &c., the learned Professor
g
Showed the complete method of analyzing beer, and
_concluded with the well-merited applause of the nu-
merous audience.

PROLIFIC WHEAT.—A few days ago, a single root
or stow (as farmers call it) was brought to our office as a
specimen. The straw is almost a yard and a half long, and
bears 'Mears, fully shot and in full blossom. Presuming
each ear to contain 20 grains, below the average, wo are
told. this single root would, if grown to maturity, have
. yielded above 1,500 grains of wheat, the produce of on©
single grain. It was grown at lienbury, near this town, on
the farm of Mr. Charles Bullock, where other roots are
growing equally fine and promising. The seed (a few
grains) was obtained at the Great Exhibition in the Crystal
Palace last year, from the sample there shown as the mummy
.wheat, grown on Prince Albert's farm.—Nacc/esfic/d

EMIGRATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN
TO BERMUDA.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the St. Pancras board of
directors, Mr. Churchwarden Billett in the chair, the
clerk to the board reported that James Combley, aged 15,
one of the children who was sent out to Bermhda by the
pariah two years ago, was in attendance, having obtained
the permission of his master, Mr. Tucker, to visit his
friends in this country. The boy, who looked remark-
ably well, answered the questions put to him in a most
intelligent manner. Le ousted -that he knew many of
the children who went out with him, and they were
comfortably placed and doing well. He was quite
satisfied with his position; his master's daughter in-
structed him in reading, writing, arithmetic, and music.
—(Hear.) Mr. Stockton was pleased to hear this state.
merit, as it fully contreelicted the foul calumnies which
had been heaped upon the parish at the time when these
children were sent to Bermuda. He would move that
the thanks of the hoard be given to Mr. Henry I.
Tucker, of Bermuda, for his kind conduct to the boy,
and for the very satisfactory letter he bad sent to the
boy's friends. Mr. Howes seconded the motion. The
Chairman expressed his gratification at this undeniable
proof that in removing the children from the contami-
nating influence of the workhouse, to place them with
respectable employers in Bermuda, their exertions bad
met with entire success. The resolution was unani-
mously agreed to, and a gratuity in cash having been
given to the lad, he retired. Dr. Gregory then gave in
the following notice of motion:—" That this board do
take into consideration the propriety of adopting the
necessary steps to provide for the well-conducted portion
of the pauper population, that they should not be de-
prived of the benefits offered by emigration." He con-
sidered the case brought before th(m that day another
proof of the desirability of carrying out the principle
advocated by Lord Shaftesbury's Bill, and to provide
that the poor children should nut be kept in the work-
house until they became permanent paupers,—(Hear,
hear.) The board then separated.

CATHOLIC AND PItoTEsTA.NT
RIOT IN STOCKPORT.

THE LATE PROCLAMATION.

We have just received intelligence by express of an
alarming riot which has taken place between the Catho-
lics and Protestants of this town, the former chiefly
Irish, arising, as it appears to us, out of the late procla-
mation. In defiance of the proclamation the Catholics
of the town paraded through the streets in long pro-
cession, without any other emblems than their large
crosses. Multitudes of Irish from various towns in the
neighbourhood accompanied. This passed off without
disturbance; the inhabitants looking quietly on.
Oa Monday night a dispute arose between an Irish-
man and Englishman in a public house in the town,
the Irishmen asserting they would carry crosses
in spite of law, and which ultimately led to a row be-
tween the parties, in which the English had the better
of it, and the Irish retired, threatening to have it out
the followieg.Ctay. On the following night ( ruesday),
some Englishmen were assaulted by the Irish in the open
street, a row ensued, and the house of a surgeon
in St. Peter's Gate, with the church, were attacked, and
the windows broken. The English mustering in force
began to retaliate, and alter demolishing the windows and
moveables of alt the cottages cf the Irish in the town,
attacked the two Catholic chapels, turning them inside
out, destroying books, pulling down the gallery, altar, and
everything in the shape et fixtures inside, setting fire
to the whole, together with the books and furniture of
the priest's house.
An immense number of special constables were imme-
diately sworn in by the magistrates, who continued in
consultation during the night. In the morning the mi-
litary were called out, and steps taken to pat down the
riot. Upwards of 120 prisoners, chiefly Irish, were
brought into the Police-office, all of whom were more or
leas injured, chiefly cuts on the head.
At two A.N. on Wednesday morning one man had
died of his injuries. With two eXceptions, most
of the injuries, however, were slight, inflicted for the
most part by pieces of railing, bludgeons, bed-posts,
table-legs, and sickles, which were the weapons used.
The interior of the chapel is at present one complete
wreck, and the priest's house a heap of ruins. At three I
AM. on Wednesday morning, the town was quiet;
magistrates still were sitting, a detachment of military
on ditty in the Court-house, and patrols stationed in
different parts of the town.
The whole of the preceding is quite accurate, without
the slightest exaggeration—indeed, it gives a very
poor idea of the state of the town and its effect.

The Height of Simplicity has been variously de-
fined, but we think it may now be known as—Going to a
Betting Office, with the moral certainty of being "taken—

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—The Marco Polo, a
very fine vessel, of 1,625 tons register, is to sail froM the
Mersey on Thursday next, with a thousand emigrants for
Australia; and six other vessels are to be dispatched from
Birkenhead next month for the same destination under
charter of the Government Emigration Commissioners. The
beautiful screw steamer, Sarah Sands, and the leviathan
steamer, Great Britain, are also to sail for the Australian
colonies in, August, The Tippoo Seib, of 1,800 tons, was
dipatched'on Friday with 437 emigrants and the American
built ship, Rip Van ' Winkle, is announced to sail shortly
from Liverpool for the same destination.

AN VIVNER NVANTED.— We read the followinc,
story in the Presse:—"There has been just found in the
neighbourhood of Annecy;in Savoy, an empty balloon lying
on the ground. The car and all the cordage were perfect; and
there was every appearance of the balloon having fallen solely
from the gradual escape of gas. At the bottom of the car
were found a gentleman's cloak and a lady's bonnet and
shawl, and in the latter a very handsome album was wrapped
up. On the first leaf of the album there was a pencil-drawing
of the panorama of the mountains of the country signed
Eliza de R.' There is nothing to indicate the origin of this
mysterious balloon. From the direction of the wind, it is
supposed that it came from France, but beyond that all is a
mystery."
The parochial authorities of St. George's, Hanover-
square, are about to erect a new workhouse on some ground
belonging to the parish at Little Chelsea. The plans have
been already made, and as soon as the contracts can be dis-
posed of the work will commence.
THE POTATO CROP.--The Penzance Gazette of the
23d inst. says, "It gives us much concern to report the un-
doubted -fact that the potato disease has again made its
appearance in this neighbourhood, and we fear to a very large
extent. As respects the parish of (iulval, we hear that the
disease is so universally prevalent that almost all the farmers
are having their crops drawn with all possible'dispatch, with
the view of disposing of the produce before it becomes en-
tirely unfit for the market."
THE. ACHILLE TRIAL —A just indignation is very
generally felt at the abominably indecent details which
have been published in connexion with Achilli's trial. For
this favour the public is altogether indebted to the
Times. It was the resolution of that journal to give the
whole trial, that left its contemporaries no other alternative.
It has, therefore, succeeded in gratifying its resentful feel-
ings against Achilli, and also in making a seasonable and
welcome addition to the literature of Holy well-street. Cheap
reprints of the trial are already commanding extensive
sales in that highly-respectable quarter of the metropolis.—
Morning Advertcser.

A TlliAntE Row.—At the theatre of Toulouse
a few nights ago the public hissed a comic actor named
Desmonts, who made hiS &ail& Desmonts being announced
for the following evening, a number of persons assembled
with the avowed intention of hissing again. When
the performances began great tumult arose, and, at''
length the stage manager announced that the actor
bad put an end to his engagement. The tumult, however,
still continued. The commissary of. police asked what was
required ? We require you and the manager to make an
excuse for having offended us!" cried a young man from the
pit. The only reply the commissary gave was to send some
soldiers into the pit and arrest the ringleaders. The per-
formances afterwards continued quietly.

have been expicted, as he_gave a great weight away to

tances are not Chief Justin's forte; he can carry -a
great weight. and win comparatively easy at
a long distance, as his stu,ylng_ powers, are undeniable,,
while in speed he ranks but u:s2;l Third or fourth-rate.

The second bout of the -First Wiltshire Triennial

Date of Richmond's HARBINGER; but, if. opposed, it will
probably be by Eleot or 'Maidstone, and Lithograph. It
must in any way terminate in favour of the yellow jacket
and crimson cap. - •
The Wilton Park Stakes will probably be an inte-
resting race, although I cannot form any idea who the
starters will be. Three names stand prominently forth,
Gold Dust,, Pug Orrock, and Catherine Hayes; in the
absence of Pug Orrock, who, I believe, is considered a
doubtfiii starter, I must award the first and second place
to GOLD DUST and Catherine Hayes.
The 10 toys. Stakes, for two and three years old,

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION. '
(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.)
Sir,—On Tuesday the 29th of June, it was an-
nouuced by the Government, that the negotiatiohs on
the subjeetof the assault on Mr. Mather had . been
brought "to a satisfactory conclusion • and the assur-
ance appeared
.to, be received AS sufficient by the
House. It is evidently matter for congratulation ;,
because the whole affair was beset by complications
and difficulties, which would occur to the man who
had to make his way out of the thorn-bush, though
they might not to others.
I cannot now avoid calling your attention to the
First Report of the Committee on Income anclPro-
perty Tax, of which a copy is forwarded to you by
post, and a copy may be had by any person concerned,
for the moderate sum of 2s. 6d.
I have told you, that I made a stand in the
House,
against the manifest desire there was to extend the
Income Tax down to the very smallest incomes, not-
withstanding the men of small incomes pay at eleven
times the rate of the rich under other modes of taxa-
tion, and to throw the burden
unfairlfrom the
shoulders of the holders of temporary
incomes, which
of course is only another way of throwing taxation
in one form or another upon the Poor ; for which
reference may be had to Hansard, 7 Au-.
1851. And
these attempts it was clear were to be made under the
childish pretexts, that an income tax to be just must
be laid on all alike, without looking at the feat that
the owners of small and no incomes are overpaying
at an enormous rate in other ways
;^-and that it 18
not enough that a man with a thousand a
year for, say
ten years, pays income tax only while he has it, but
he must pay at a less annual rate than the family who
have had a sum producing 1501. a year left them by
their father, and who are to pay
income tax out of it
for ever. These two childish fallacies- 1
did my
best to oppose. And when the Committee WAS ap-
pointed, I asked to be placed upon it, as having been
the organ of putting forward these objections on the
part of the Working and smaller Middle Classes. The
courtesy of the House very usually admits a request of
this kind. But the request was put forward in two
places, and retused. I therefore invite the Working
Classes and . men of lower incomes to attend to the
any inquiry into their case, and how
often :i.
tains what counsel call leading questions, which there
is no use in protesting against, because they are only
what is natural to man, but which, to Procure for a
Report the confidence of the Whole public, ought to
Report referred to, and see how deficient it is in
tions on the other side. * '
be balanced by an equal opportdnity of Patting ques-
It is iot my intention to quote in
support' of the
above, `but to refer, for evidence of the first of my
positions to Nos. 1341, 1347, 1348, 1504, 1505,
1511, 1580; and for the second, to 1806, 2085, 2317,
2494, 2496, 2498, 2635, 2779, 2990, 3234, 3676,
3685, 3701. ~ . .

It is but right to state, that the system of making
the income tax perpetual (which, is the
great point
the rich are defending against the poor) is manfully
supported in No. 2634 by G. Offor,
4 Chairman
to the Board of Commissioners for the Property and
Income Tax in the Tower Hamlets, and in 2650 the
reasonable suggestion for deducting from all incomes
the amount fixed upon for total exemption, which I
remember " throwing upon the waters" in the West-
mingier Reiew for Jan. 1824. If the Working and
smaller Middle Classes ever have the power, they
should send Mr. Offor to Parliament, to tell their tale
there if he can get a hearing.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
• AN OLD REFORMER.
Blackheath, 30th June, 1852.
