HAYMARKET.

Last night, after Mr. C. Kean's performance of Richard
the Third, which drew a very crowded house, a. new onc-
act farce was produced here called the Organ of Order.
Its two principal characters are Mr. Primshaw ( Far-
ren), a very piccise gentleman, who is not a little proud
of posessieg a strong development of the phrenological
organ wbi,•!a gives the title to the piece, and Prankley
( Strickland), a next door lodger, a great lover of fun, and
withal a great practied joker. The former is about to go,
to an evening party, previous to which he gives "a spice of
his quality," by adjusting his dress with the greatest nicety,
and vatting the furniture of his aoartment in the most
exact order, whilst the latter, during his absence, alters the
numbers of every door of the street in which they both
reside, The consequences may be easily imagined; Prim-
shaw returts, and, guided by the number, takes possession
of Prankley's apartment in mistake for his own, and in vain
searching for his lucifers is unable to detect the blunder.
Whilst in this dilemma he is visited by a Madame Rosig-
nol (Mrs. Fi:z.villiam), occupying the apartment above,
who has concerted with Prankley to return with him to
Boulogne, in order to release her husband from prison,
he having kindly consented to advance her a sum for
that purpose. The hoaxer at this juncture returns,
in fulfilment of his appointment, whilst his wife ( Mr6*
Danson), who has suddenly arrived from the country.
emerges from an inner room, where she had retired
to rest. An eclaireissentent necessarily ensues, and the
its
earlier somewhat abruptly, and, because we thought
earlier scenes gave better promise, somewhat unsatisfac-
torily concludes. The author of this trifle, whose name
did not transpire, is greatly indebted for its success (for it
met with no dissent) to the exertions of the performers.
more particularly to Messrs. Farren and Strickland, and
to Mrs. Fitzwilliam. All of them had parts unworthy Of
their talents, but they gave them hearty and successful
support. Mrs. Firzwilliam sang a " French melange,
t‘ Eh much taste, and was encored, and Farren gave the
piece out for future representation, amidst the applause of
the audience. It should be noticed, perhaps, that Strick-
land dressed his part in exact imitation of the plump dandy
in Jones's popular print of " The First of April."

SURREY.
Last night became a sort of epoch in the history of
this establishment, in consequence of the appearance on
the Surrey boards of the veteran Braham, in his popular,
character of Count Belino, in Arnold's opera of The
Devil's Bridge.

CHARGE AGAINST A PHYSICIAN.—On
Niondly evening an investigation, which occupied upwards
of three hours, took place at the Carpenter's Arms public-
house in Bridport.place, New North.road, Hoxton, before
Mr. Baker, relative to the death of Mr. William Whit
bread, aged 68, which was supposed to have been occa-
sioned by an operation lately performed on him by Dr.
Turnbull, of Russell-square. It appeared that the de-
ceased, who was in the enjoyment of good health up to
that time, had an operation performed upon him on
Thursday week by the above physician, which consisted in
passing tubes up the nostrils so as to admit of some fluid,
for the relief of excessive deafness, under which he had
been for some time labouring. Almost immediately after
he was attacked with a violent swelling in the throat, and
though the utmost attention had been paid to him, he ex-
pired on Thursday Isst. Mr. Wickham, a medical gen-
tleman in the neighbourhood, deposed that, on making a
post mortenz examination of the body, be found that the in-
flammation in the throat was not sufficient to have occa-
sioned the death of the deceased; death was produced by
extensive inflammation of the brain, which, in his opinion,
Ives occasioned by natural causes, and that neither the ope-
ration, nor the inflammation of the throat, had anything to
do with it. The jury, on this evidence, returned a verdict
of " Natural death by the visitation of God." The in-
quiry created considerable interest in the neighbourhood.

his Residence in North America, is just published. la

I lit SILK CROP.---WC have accounts from
Milan to the 6th inst. The transactions in silk bad been 1
more active on the part of the foreign merchants, who
either were not able or not willing to wait for the new
crop. Our mercantile advices from Genoa state that tho
intelligence respecting the silk crop continued good, and
if the fine weather then experienced continued, it was
expected a very abundant crop would bo realized. The
business in silk was completely stagnant and the prices
nominal.
