weak imitation of a not over strong and very
defective original. A more utter absence of phi-
losophical originality of conception or statesmanlike
breadth of view it would be difficult to imagine;
and we really see no reason why his Lordship might not
have concocted his scheme in the course of his walk yester-
day afternoon from Downing-street to the House. To dis-
cuss its merits would be like discussing the virtues of a sheet
of blank paper, or the character of Mr. Feargus O'Connor.
There is no saying that something may not eventually be
made out of it; but in the meantime it must remain, like
some of the unsightly carcases which disfigure the suburbs
of our metropolis, a mere shapeless skeleton, until some en-
terprising Reformer takes pity upon its 7oful plight, and puts
some pith
and substance, good or bad, into a measure which
at present stands—like more than one of its advocates—" to
be let unfurnished."

In this case, which had not concluded when our report left
the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict for the
defendant.

Lord CAMPBELL said he fully concurred in the verdict.
The indictments for perjury arising out of the proceedings in
Chancery were now carried to a most scandalous extreme.
He would ask the jury whether they were unanimously of
opinion that no reflection whatever had been cast upon the
defendant ?

TEE MILITIA.
It will be seen by the following circular, received by
the lord-lieutenants of counties, that the permanent staff
of the militia ar© about to be called out for inspection:—
" Whitehall, Jan. 31, 1852.
"My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lord-
ship that her Majesty has-been pleased to command that
au inspection of the permanent staff of the militia in
Great Britain should take place at the earliest possible
period.
" An officer of her Majesty's regular force; assisted
by a regimental or staff surgeon, will visit the head.
quarters of each regiment of militia for this purpose,
and I request your Lordship will direct all persons be-
longing to the permanent staff of each regiment of
militia in the county under your charge to hold them-
selves in readiness to be inspected. . .

By F. B. COURTENAY,
"These who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments. . . . . The prac-
tice of surgeons has been marked with all kinds of violence, and in-
difference about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" scquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing, a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
"About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
coot no time Pi procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.
" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.

THE SESSION OF 1 8 52.
The long•expected Opening of Parliament has passed over.
Our beloved Queen has been again greeted with enthusiastic demon-
strations of loyalty and patriotism; these events illustrate the union
of the people--are prognostics or future happiness and prosperity in
the Empire. E. MOSES and SON- are not influenced by party poli-
tics, but they are ardent in pursuit of the prosperity of the people,
the comfort and happiness of the members of the nation ; to advance
this they have cheerfully made the most magnificent investment of
capital, and engaged the most distinguished artists to devise the
most fashionable and elegant designs for the accommodation of her
Majesty's subjects ; these designs they have the pleasure of present-
ng daily at their Establishments Aldgate and Mlnories, New Oxford-
street and Hart-street. .

Never did the opening of Parliament call forth stronger manifesta-
tions of patriotic attachment to the Queen ; never did the thousands
assembled to greet their Sovereign look more cheerful and happy.
Dress was the order of the day, and the efforts of E. MOSES and
SON were made visible on the multitudes who welcomed the Queen
as their rightful rwer. It affords E. MOSES and SON the most
comple're satisfaction when they see the multitude clothed respect-
ably and comfortable at a cheap rate : then they have that perfect
remuneration for which they have many years laboured.
The Session of 1852 is opened ; now commences the great bustle
of business, and a magnificent display of British power and taste.
For this E. MOSES and SON are prepared. The capabilities of
their establishments are unlimited, possessing facilities for any
amount of basines . a command, hArivegtriendid and fashion-
able. rhe llttlslo9lffirftbnrill'ir

All changes brought about by Parliamentary reduction are
directly made use of by E. MOSES and SON, in the way enterpris-
ing tradesmen should whose object is to legislate daily for the ad-
vancement and comfort of the people, the session of their Indus•
trious exertions never closes, their Establishments are ceaselessly
sending out new and comfortable clothing, and their motto is, reduc-
tion of the expenditure of the people, by presenting at little more
than half the usual charge, the best qualities of Clothing, Hats and

TO a GENTLEMAN ABOUT to PURCHASE
Ah
nSgU—I TOeFr e
,CyLoOuTdl lo En So
know;
't
You tell me, Sir, that you intend to go
In quest of clot w h
No tailor in particular you name,
While thus you hint of purchasing the same ;
But you as good as tell me that in this,
You'll play a game of hazard—hit or miss.
And shall I let you go without advice,
Both with regard to quality and price ?
No—since you are a stranger to the place,
I'll tender my assistance in the case.
"All is not gold that glitters," is a phrase
Well worthy of remembrance now-a-days.
At whatsoever Mart you might apply,
You'd find the garments lauded to the sky.
And very likely you'd be led to view
These plausible harangues as strictly true :
So take a timely hint from one that knows,
And act with caution when you buy your clothes.
I know a Mart—the fairest in the trade—
Where solid, sterling bargains may be made,
'Tis HYAM'S Mart to which I now refer—
A warehouse which, for years, has caused a stir.
'Tis here where I obtain my own attire,
Which, I have heard you say, you much admire.
'Twas lIYAM'S firm that honourably made
The first grand movement to reform the trade ;
And lIYAM'S were the fit st who brought to bear
Those new improvements in the dress we wear.
Till HYAM came, the Continental styles
Surpassed the fashions of the British Isles;
And 'twas acknowledged by a vast majority,
That England, here, was in a sad minority.
But this deficiency on England's part
Was soon made up by HYAM'S matchless art ;
And France, herself, who once would yield to none,
Confesses, candidly, that she's outdone.
You talk of laying out a five-pound note
For nothing more than trousers, vest, and coat?
And doubtless you would think it " passing strange"
Wore II YAMS to return you two pounds change.
Aye I two pounds change ! I have not lost my senses,
Nor ant I joking touching your expenses :
Your five-pound note would buy a first-rate suit,
And one of HYAM'S overcoats to boot.
I add no more—l see you look surprised,
And, doubtless, you will act as I've advised ;
For such superior dress you'll not begrudge
A price so moderate—" You're too good a judge."

treatment of these complaints. Ile may be consulted with advan-

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

---
4i scendant triumph. The representation ot Shakspere's Lisle-
,

Nr,
rical play of King John on the boards of the Princess's
N
Theatre affords, we make bold to say, the most magnificent
combination ot splendour, correctness, and artistic skin that
the theatrical public have ever yet had the opportunity of
beholding. It is really difficult, after witnessing such a
masterpiece, histrionic and managerial, to avoid the use of
terms which might appear extravagantly eulogistic, however
just; suffice it to say, that the fruits of evident enormous
pains and outlay have been—perfection and commensurate
success. As regards the mise en scene we have never seen it
equalled. The kingly chivalry of France and England six
centuries ago lives and moves before our eyes in vivid reality,
a resurrection of the contemporaries of the Great Charter. Where
such authorities have been scrupulouslyconsulted for the selec-
tion of the costumes, arms, banners, and decorations, as Mey-

the effect produced. The .pictnr
scenery is likewise so beautifully
executed as to render the ill ' limn complete. But it is
not merely as an extraordinary
spectacle that
King John was received with such
most merited enthusiasm ; the actinwas
first-rate
throughout. Mr. Kean's was a
thoroughly noble
performance. In the famous scene with Hubert, where he
prompts his adherent to undertake the removal of "the ser-
pent from his path, and in the ghastly awfulness of the
death-scene in the moonlit orchard of Swinstead Abbey; in
the defiance of Papal tyranny, and the self-abasement
and remorse pourtrayed, when lee believes that Arthur has
been murdered, he was the very embodiment of the fitful and
unscrupulous King, as drawn by the mighty dramatist.
There was exquisite beauty in the Constance of Mrs. Kean.
Grief, rage, pathos, thrillingly depicted, with not a vestige
of the viragoism displayed by ordinary personators of the
character. In the final agony of heart-broken despair, Mrs.
Kean was so surpassingly great, that the house literally shook
with the outburst of applause evoked by such a rare effort
of genius. Falconbridge was pourtrayed by Mr. Alfred
Wigan in a manner most creditable to that clever aetor.
Considering his usual line of business, it could not be ex-
pected that he could make the part what we remember it in
the hands of Charles Kemble or James Wallack ; but he
played it with admirable spirit and appropriate humour. As
a good sound actor, Mr. Ryder has long held a favourable
position, but his Hubert last night was a gem. In the af-
fecting scene with Arthur in the prison, and the subsequent
passion of grief over the dead body of the young prince, he
took the audience by storm. Miss Kate Terry, as Prince
Arthur, exhibited much cleverness and excellent training.
All the subordinate parts were most satisfactorily filled;
Queen Eleanor by Miss Phillips, Blanche by Miss Murray,
Prince Henry by Miss Robertson, the French King by Mr.
Fisher, the Duke of Austria by Mr. Cooke, the Cardinal by
Mr. raham, not forgetting Mr. Addison as the Governor of
Angiers, and Mr. Cathcart as the Viscomte de Alelan.
At the conclusion of the performance Mr. and Mrs. Kean
were vehemently called for, and saluted with fervent accla-
mations. Mr. Wigan had to appear, and was most warmly
greeted. Mr. Ryder then came in for a similar mark of
approval most deservedly bestowed; and finally Miss Kate
Terry was promoted by the audience to a place in this
honourable ovation, Mr. Kean himself leading the clever
little girl before the curtain. Of the long and sustained
success of such a tremendous hit as the production of last
evening there cannot be a shadow of doubt. There is not
a metropolitan inhabitant or visitor of the smallest taste
but ought to take an opportunity of visiting this' theatre on
some one at least of the King John nights. Se ssperb a
treat has never before been offered to the playgoer.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The provincial papers announce the liberation of a
considerable number of persons arrested for political
MUMS.

New arrests have been made in the Gironde and
elsewhere.

M. VIGNIER, ex-representative, who was arrested at
Paris, and taken to Bourges, where he was confined,
has been set at liberty, with orders to proceed to
Belgium.

The Prefect of the Haute-Vienne has ordered eleven
cafes and wine-shops within his jurisdiction to be closed,
as serving as places of rendezvous for persons of Socialist
opinions. Nineteen have been also closed at Beaune,
eleven at Saalien, and twenty-five at Dijon.
The Brussels journals state that General LAMORI-
CIERE has returned to that city in a very bad state of
health. On his arrival at Verviers, where the railroad
travellers change carriages, he was so unwell that it
was necessary to carry him from one carriage to the
other.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic honoured the per-
formance of Ernani, at the Italiens, with bis presence
on Saturday night. The Prince was accompanied by
General ROGUET and Commandant Fr.,nurty. The
opera was greatly applauded by a brilliant audience.

SPAIN.
Our accounts from Madrid are of the 4th inst.

The last bulletin published is to the following effect:—

" To the President of the Council of Ministers.

- --.......-. -------
" The Physicians and Surgeons of the Queen's Bed-cham-
ber have addressed to me the following, dated eleven o'clock
A.m.:—

." Her Majesty slept tranquilly more than four hours
almost consecutively. The fever has subsided, and the
symptoms of local inflammation are slight. The Queen feels
very well.'

(Signed) "
" At the Palace, February 4,1852." The Duke of HIZAR.
It appeared from the verbal declaration of the physi-
cians that the QUEEN was completely out of danger,
and it was hoped that, in a few days, her MAJESTY
would be able to perform her pious pilgrimage to
Atoch a.

The QUEEN MOTHER had not left the bedside of her
daughter for the last 48 hours.

The Senate assisted on the 4th, in a body, at a high
mass, celebrated in the church of San Isidro, to thank
the Almighty for having watched over the days of the
QUEEN.

The grandees of Spain had demanded that the
holy Sacrament should remain exposed in the church of
Our Lady of Atocha, until the entire recovery of the
QUEEN, in order that all the inhabitants of Madrid might
repair to that church to implore GOD in favour of the
precious health of their SOVEREIGN.
The Marquis of VILIIITA, President of the Senate,
handed to the President of the Cuuncil a respectful ad-
dress of that body to the QUEEN.
The assassin MARTIN MERINO was executed by
garcte vil—strangulation—on Saturday, at one o'clock,
outside the gate of Toledo, the usual place of execution
in Madrid, and, it is more than probable, in the presence
of an immense multitude, not one of whom could have
felt sympathy or compassion for his fate. lie had been
previously degraded from the priesthood—as a felon
knight has his spurs struck from his heels before he is
handed over to the headsman.

ROYAL MARIONETTE THEATRE.
Upon the opening of this theatre, intimations were thrown
out by various portions of the press that the puppet stage
might serve readily as a place for the production of brochures
emanating from the bright wits of the day, but not easily ad-
missible in other theatres. Already we find the hint adopted,
and a new farce produced, styled The United Services, which
is called an infinitesimal operatta, in one homoeopathic act,
and professes to be written by Hugo Vamp, Esq., the perma-
nent author to the establishment. In reality this little
piece is the production of one of the bright spirits referred to,
who, wizhout caring much for plot, has employed the cha-
racters as mouthpieces for some clever hits at some
of the events, social and political, of the day. Mr.
Bantam is the name of an elderly gentleman who,
like many others of his genus, is considerably troubled
by the followers who come after his cook and housemaid,
Dripping and Sally ; and who for the present assume the
forms of an Irish lifeguardsman and policeman, who is the
model man of all the force. The piece opens with a kitchen
scene, in which Dripping and Sally await the departure of
their master for the introduction of their sweethearts. The
latter enter, and some very clever dialogue ensues, intro-
ducing some admirable " points" upon the Whigs, France
and the French, national defences, preserved meats, Bloomer-
&c., &c. In the midst of their merry-making the gover-
nor returns, the "followers" secrete themselves, are afterwards
found out, and after the usual display of bluster, the affair
winds up with a double marriage, very much to the satisfac-
tion of the parties concerned and of the audience, who testi-
fied their gratification by hearty and unanimous calls for the
performers, author, and manager, all of whom appeared and
made their bows of acknowledgment before the curtain.

ACCIDENT THIS MORNING AT THE
BRICK-LANE GAS WORKS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—To prevent much apprehension that exists about the
accident that occurred here this morning, I beg to state that,
soon after nine o'clock, a vessel, connected with the puri-
fiers. suddenly gave way with a loud report, alarmed the
neighbourhood, and the gas escaping caught fire, which was
shortly extinguished without any serious damage except to
the vessel in which the accident happened.
One man was injured, and immediately removed to the
hospital, butjnobody else was hurt; and the operations of the
works are not interrupted.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
ALFRED HENRY STILL, Superintendent.

CREmORNE HOUSF
~ CHELSEA.—An application
was made to the Kensington magistrates to trans-
fer the licence from

Cooper (who has removed
to the. Albion Hotel, Covent-garden), to Mr. Thomas Bart-
lett Simpson who for some time back has been the pro-
prietor and director of Cremorne Gardens. The transfer was
granted unanimously, and in announcing that fact the chair-
man stated that the entire bench concurred with him in the
pleasure he felt at finding Cremorne House and Gardens un-
der the superintendence of so able a director as Mr. Simpson.
He himself had vi-ited the gardens during the last season,
and was highly gratified at the order and decorum that were
observable, for although everybody seemed amused, none
could be oilended ; nor waa then) anything to which the
most fastidious could object. Mr. Simpson had, indeed, se-
cured a very high character by his excellent management,
and fully justified the confidence of the magistrates in grant-
ing the licence, which they did with the greater pleasure,
as they were sure that in the hands of Mr. Simpson the
amusement of the public, poor as well as rich, would be well
and properly catered for. Several of the magistrates on the
bench expressed their hearty concurrence with the senti-
ments which had fallen from the chairman, and took occa-
sion to congratulate Mr. Simpson upon his great success at
Cremorne.
