HATTON GARDEN.

Shelfvrrl and Riekerby, the notorious swindlers, were
put to the bar, and identified as having been seen con-
stantly together. It was then stated that the prisoners
had taken a house together in Dyer's-buildings, Hol-
-13,-)rn, arid had advertised that they had 20,0001. to lend
o❑ mortgage, bills, &c. Caught by this advertisement,

Mr. Benjamin Bridges, the proprietor of the Royal
Victoria Saloon, and twenty-five of the actors, some of
them in their stage-dresses, among whom was Ellar, the
once celebrated Harlequin, of Drury-lane and Covent-
garden, who had a cloak over his chequered dress, were
placed at the bar charged with acting in an unlicensed
theatre . The Magistrate asked Ellar how he came to
be in such a situation—he had himself seen him at the
large theatres. The defendant said that he had once a
good engagement but had become very much reduced,
and had endeavoured to support himself by playing on
his guitar, but the police drove him away. Mr. Brough-
ton thought the police exceeded their duty in so doing.
He then asked him if he had not subscribed to either
of the theatrical funds 7 Ellar said, that as Harlequin
he was not eligible to become a member, but that on a
petition to the Drury-lane Fund they gave him 5/. and
afterwards 2/.

The Superintendent of Police said that, having re-
ceived a written authority from the Police Commis-
sioners, he, accompanied by two Inspectors and a body
of police, forced their way into the Saloon, in the midst
of the performance, and making their way through the
audience, about 600 in number, they went on the stage
and seized the whole of the company. The scenery and
decorations were got up in a very expensive style. A
bill of the performance was produced, which stated, after
several recitations in character, that the performance
would conclude with a Christmas festival, called " Har-
lequin's Holiday." No charge was made for admission,
but all the liquors supplied were at a very high price.
The proprietors' solicitor contended that this place
was not within the provisions of the Police Act, which
says," All unlicensed theatres, at which money is taken
for admission ;" and as no money was taken in this
place the defendants could not be detained.
Mr. BRoUGHTON said, that whether money wore
taken or a higher charge made for liquor, it was the
same thing, and he inflicted a fine of 51, on the mana-
ger, and Is. each on the actors, which was paid.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

" In the evening we visited a large garden, beauti-
fully lighted up, and the fireworks that we saw here
made us forget all others we had already seen. A gar-
den, a heaven, large, Adorned with roses of different
colours in every direction, the water was running on
the beautiful green, pictures were drawn on every
wall. Here and there were young moonly faces sell-
ing refreshments. There were burning in this place
about two millions of lights, each giving a different
colour ; the lantern and lights are so aranged as to
make poetry, in such a manner that they have no
end. On every side there appeared the moon, and
the sun, with the planets, each moving in its orbit ;
and in every walk there were about 10,000 Frank
moons, walking and gazing about, where the roses
and the tribes were admiring their beautiful cheeks.
Each was taken by the hand, such a company in such
a place says to the soul, Behold thy paradise !
pleasure end joy appear ; woes and sorrows are
banished ;—every hand asked for a glass of refresh-
ment to present to the possessors of jasmine hands.
Thus we were happy to have in each hand a para.
discan companion; and to point out the beauties of
the place, in order to draw forth the sweet music of
their replies ; we left the rose and met a pink ! are
we awake.or in a dream ? We walked in this garden
from one place to another, till we came to a place
where we saw crowds of people gazing a' a boy, de-
, gently clad, who was playing on a rope; now we
were as though we had lost our mind. This rope
was made fast high above in the garden, on which
this boy was dancing ; indeed, he was like a bird
viith wings in the air. Afterwards a young and beau-

PRICE sd.

tiful girl, handsomely dressed, increased our surprise,
she joined the boy, and they played together in a most
wonderful manner, enough to take away the senses to
look at them. When the boy and girl had finished their
manosuvres, the people in the gardens went to another
place, where there was a wheel which was set on fire.
As soon as it was lighted it began to ascend, throwing
out fire of red, green, blue, yellow, and other Colours
wonderfully, as if all the world had taken fire, and con-
tinued to a:ccnd till it reached the sky."

SHIPPING IN THE THAMES.

" The ships on this; river are like forests. The
large men-of-war are 1,200 in number, some of which
are of 120 guns ; these, besides the packets and
steamers. The least of their navy carries thirty guns.
British mercantile vessels are above 25,000,
such is their extreme and extensive commerce. . . In
fine, all the ships of other nations on the globe could
not equal the number of the English ships alone, nor
ten foreign men-of-war stand in battle against one Eng-
lish ; they have always been victorious over their ene-
mies. One-of the twelve vixirs of Government has the
management of the navy ; he is called the High Lord of
the Admiralty ; Lord Minto fills this high station at
present. In his hand is the direction of the whole navy.
Besides the above-mentioned ships, they have innumer-
able others in the West and East Indies, in America,
and Australia, which are called out at the time of ne-
cessity. The water of the river Thames is very heavy,
and not at all good for the digestion, nor could it ever
produce an appetite. Yet the people of this 'country do
not use water as a drink ; when it is necessary they take
a little, once in three or tour days."

THE MOLES OF CHESHIRE.

We have heard a whisper that the aristocracy and
squirearchy are anxious, if possible, to stretch the law
a little, lay hold of some of the Anti-Corn-law lecturers,
and, if possible, to present a bill for high treason against
them, as certain of them volunteered to do at Chester
against the Chartists. We can readily believe their wil-
lingness and eitorness to attempt such a folly, but we
may laugh at their impotence.—Liverpool Chronicle.
[We call these men moles, because they are blind,
and dig in the earth. Our lecturers are the gins that
catch them and bring them above ground into the
light. Little wonder that these moles should howl
most dismally about the evils of traps, and call for
protection against those who would bring them out of
the dirt into the sunshine, to show the world what
hideous, misshapen, blind, but plump and comfortable
worm-fed beings—they are. This is, we assure our
Contemporary, nothing new. The Magistrates at-Louth
t'Petily talk of the high treason of Mr. Smith, and
of the propriety of committing him for trial. At Hun-
tingdon the very same thing occurred, and at Cam-
bridge it was very currently understood that warrants
had actually been 4W. for his apprehension. Un-
fortunately, it was " orralk and no cider." Had they
really done any thing, and the grand jnrY returned a
true bill, all or any of our lecturers would 'certainly
have conducted their own defence; and woe be to the

landlords if these gentlemen had once got their mouths
opened in a public Court, With twelve honest English-
men for their judges. If the squirearchy would not
have been flayed alive, and held up to the scorn and
detestation of the whole empire, we have much mis-
taken the sort of stuff our lecturers are made of.]—

INFANTRY.

2d—There has been a good deal of sickness in the
Queen's.

Grenadier Guards—The detachment to join in Ame-
rica arrived at Quebec, in the Buffalo store-ship, the
14th of August.
3d—The Buffs have returned to Meerut.
10th—The destination of the regiment is Canada, to
relieve the 11th, coming home.
60th—The head•quarters division of the depot, per
Avon steamer from Gosport, arrived in Limerick on
Saturday evening, under the command of Brevet Major
Adare, and marched on Monday morning.
62d—Letters from Moulmein, Madras, of the 17th
of May, state that the regiment was then in the enjoy-
ment of excellent health, and the hottest month in the
year ( April) had passed over without a single casualty,
the number of sick being on an average about 35 daily
—thermometer 100 in the shade. The rains had par-
tially set in, and as a war with Burmah is supposed not to
be the order of the day, the 62d anticipate a removal to
the coast at the close of the monsoon, at which time they
will have completed five years at this station. Out of
the number of the 62d stationed at Limerick in 1830,
and embarked in the summer of that year for India, only
11 officers and 134 men are now effective ; the remainder
of the men (except about 90 sent home) have died
during the period of service in India, eight and a half
years, which may be called short. Should they, how-
ever, be so fortunate as to reach home at the end of
fifteen years, it is not possible that any will be effective
who embarked with it. The troops composing the
field force at Moulmein consist of one company of
European Foot Artillery, her Majesty's 62d and 63d
Regiments, and two battalions of Madras Native In-
fantry.

67th—The 67th proceed to Canada.
76th—A draft will shortly embark at Cork to join
the service companies in Demerara.
78th—Four companies who lately left Glasgow for
Edinburgh have received orders to return, to relieve the
Ist Royals, stationed there, who are bound for foreign
service.

99th—The head quarters are at Athlone. The de-
tachments stationed at Shannon-bridge, Banagher,
Meelick, Mullingar, and Longford, are ordered not to be
relieved at present by the same corps. The regiment
have recruited to the new establishment—viz. 800 rank
and file, having enlisted at head-quarters 71 men within
the last month. Few regiments raised so many men in
so short a period ; and, generally speaking, they are
fine-looking men, from five feet eight to five feet ten
inches in height.

nated. In this instance it is upon the unforeseen
that we are especially to reckon."
Independent of these vast considerations this dis-
coveryproductive of advantage to painters,
architects, and naturalists, and afford not a little
amusement
l be
to persons of almost every class. The
whole apparatus, according to Gay Lussac, does
not cost more than 121., and after a very few trials
every one must succeed in producing the most ex-
quisite specimens of art. Those who have seen
M. de St. Croix perform the manipulations at the
Argyll-rooms can have no doubt of the facts. The
work to which we have referred contains minute
directions, by NI. Daguerre, with six plates, for the
instruction of those who may be inclined to make
the experiments.
M. Gay Lussac claims credit for the Government
of Louis Philippe in purchasing the discovery for
the good, not of France, but of the world. His
remarks are very characteristic, but nevertheless
their truth cannot be denied :
" Thus, from these various considerations, it
was thought desirable that this process should be-
come public property. From a different motive it
merited the attention of Government, and ought to
procure for its author a conspicuous reward.
c, To those who are not insensible to national
glory—who know that a people shine with
greater
splendour among the nations of the earth, only as
they have realized a higher advancement in civiliza-
tion—to those we say, the process of M. Daguerre
is a noble discovery. It is the origin of a new art
in the midst of an old civilization : an art which
will constitute an era, and be preserved as a title of
glory. And shall it descend to posterity compa-
nioned by ingratitude ? Let it rather
splendid evidence of the protection which the
Chambers—the Government of July--the whole
country afford to great inventions." stand forth a

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

" There is no possibility of describing these strange
and wonderful animals. For however they may be re-
collected in the mind or imagined in the head, these
kinds of creatures cannot be described by the pen.
There is to be seen an elephant twenty-four feet high,
and his proboscis forty feet long ; this wonderful ele-
phant was brought from the extreme parts of the East

India Islands, 'The tooth of this mountain-like beast
stretches out like a long ivory promontory, and en the
whole this animal presents a most frightful appearance.
. . . There is also one of the wonderful amphibious
animals of a curious form. It is as large as a horse, it
was brought from the interior of Africa. It is a very
beautiful creature. When it stands and walks, it very
much resembles mankind. All kinds of baboons of
wonderful sizes and forms. They act like human
beings ; bears, white, red, green, yellow, and, indeed of
all colours. Also a kind of monkey, which is of all
the animals most like the human figure, the size of
a mule, with an extraordinary long tail. These
monkeys act like human beings, and, laugh won-
derfully, and play at chess with men, and some of
those-that visit the gardens play with them. To-
day, 'a Jew happened to be at this place, and went
to play a game with the monkey. The monkey heat,
and began to laugh loudly, all the people standing
round him. The Jew felt exceedingly ashamed, and
was obliged to leave immediately. The most won-
derful animals of all, were a pair of creatures larger
than an elephant., and higher than a camel, their
necks are fourteen feet long, their legs are handsome,
their tails are like that of an Arab horse of red colour,
and with white spots on the face. They were brought
from Africa, and their flesh is said to be excellent. They
;2.0 as fast as a gaze]. : all the world from England,
Scotland, and Ireland, come to see them. There are
also more than 80,000 kinds of birds : in truth, we do
not know how ecen to write their names, to describe
their colours is impossible. Some elephant birds just
like an elephant, but without a proboscis. Their wings
are about fifteen yards long. . . . Verily a visit to a
/Aiwa like this brings to the mind the power of the
Omnipotent. The eyes are dazzled, the mind is sur-
prised, the h art. is agitated, and curiosity takes its
utmost fill. All this gives a most excellent opportu-
nity to the lover, to lead his favourite by the hand to
show her this and that curiosity ; besides all the above,
you will see beautiful moonlike ladies, led by the hand,
to gaze at these wonderful spectacles, and repose under
the delightful shade of the beautiful trees. In truth,
unless the eye should see, the mind cannot form an idea
'Of this place." •

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1839.

~ REVIVAL" AT KiLsYTH.

The recent occurrences in this parish were noticed
in the Presbytery of Glasgow on Wednesday last, and
the Rev. Mr. Burns, the pastor of the parish, gave a
minute detail of the awakened religious feeling which
has displayed itself, the tenour of which follows :
Since the induction of the Rev. Gentleman, about
eighteen years ago, the parish has been gradually as-
suming the habits of morality and Christian observance.
Prayer meetings were established, and many persons
who had before led disorderly and unbelieving lives were
"converted" to the truth. In July last it was an-
nounced that the son of the Rev. Gentleman, who was
about to proceed on a foreign mission, would preach to
the people of Kilsyth, probably for the last time,
and the church was on that occasion crowded to
overflowing, and the audi▪
ence embraced many per-
sons who had never been in church before. The
sermon was from the text, " Thy people shall
be willing in the day of thy power." There was no-
thing unusual in the first half hour, though there was a
tendency and a predisposition to the burst of emotion
which took place at the close. When the preacher was
depicting the scene in the parish of Sbotts, and when he
was dwelling on that topic, and waking affectionate and
earnest addresses to the people, many of them known
to him from boyhood, and some of them known to be
neglectful of ordinances—ci▪
rcumstances which gave A
degree of affection and pathos to, his address—when he
was referring to this topic, he spoke of the text and the
sermon of Mr. Livingstone, which converted in one
day five hundred souls ; and he went on affectionately
to ask if he was to leave them in their sins, using the
words, " If there was no cross there would be no crown."
When be came to this point the audience went beyond
all bounds with their emotion ; some cried out, and
others swooned away. With regard to three or four of
them, as we learned afterwards, the emotion was just,
the effect of powerful impression made upon their feel-
ings, for the results, as seen in the future, were the
only things, as all might be aware, on which we could
rely. The preacher's voice was drowned by the feelings
of his auditory, and he was compelled to pause. After
this meetings were held every night, and the people
seemed anxious to learn more and more about the Gos-
pel. They were subsequently addressed in the open
air, to the number of between 3,000 and 4,000 ; and on
the following Sabbath religious conversation continued
in the churchyard from three in the afternoon till eight
at night, when the Clergyman was only enabled to de-
part on the pledge of meeting the people at seven next
morning. Similar manifestations have displayed them-
selves at Finnieston, in the immediate neighbourhood of
Glasgow.—Edinburgh Chronicle.

GItBERT'S WONDERS of the WORLD,

Esq., &c.

ENGLISH LIBERTY.

" Every person that has given ten tomans of the
revenue, in case he should see anything wrong in its
expense, has a right to rise up in the House of Com-
mons, and seize tbo Nazir of the Treasury by--the col-
lar, saying, ' What have you done with my money?'"

WINDSOR CASTLE.

" This superior palace is situated in a garden, or
park, fifty-two miles in circumference, which is sur-
rounded by a wall of iron bars about three yards and
half high. The par k has forty gates, splendidly wrought,
and through it runs several fine streams like rose-water,
and its trees are most noble, producing a most beauti-
ful shade. The carriage-roads are so finely paved, that
a person might take his repose upon them. Roses of
every kind, and flowers of every hue, are in this park.
Its land is green, like emerald, its prospect is pleasure
to the eye. Gazelles, antelopes, and deers, are here in
thousands. Pheasants, partridges, woodcocks, and
game of every kind, abound, all of which are enjoying
this delightful place. Nightingales, goldfinches, and
their associates, keep with their sweet voices watch in
this garden. It is naturally carpeted with a beautiful
green velvet. My pen tells me, do not proceed ; lam
incapable of describing it—it is Paradise. In one part
of this Eden, there is a hill, two miles in circumference,
on which the palace is built, it is about 2,000 yards in
height, and affords a most beautiful view of the park.
The mind cannot but be astonished at this splendid edi-
fice, whose description exceeds the power of human
writers. . . Each of the Kings, for 200 years past,
has had a separate palace in this castle, with distinct
majestic splendour of sovereignty, as may be now seen,
just as they were when these sovereigns occupied them.
And whatever unique jewels each sovereign obtained
during his reign are placed in his palace, with his statue,
either of marble, jasper, or porphyry, seated on a jewelled
throne ; so beautifully made, that you might say it is
alive, and can speak. One statue of a former King cost
more than 12,000 tomans. . . All his Ministers and
officers of state during his reign have also statues placed
by him in the room, each with arms of the age, and
appearing as if they were alive. In the royal rooms of
the late kings all are seated on their thrones and chairs
of gold, embroidered with precious stones, which cost
millions of minted gold ; each has his crown on his head
of a hundred mauns.of solid pure gold, and adorned
with precious stones, so magnificent as to take the senses
away. These crowns are supported by chains of gold,
and suspended over the heads of the sovereigns. We
also noticed several rooms, three hundred feet long,
and a hundred broad, all adorned with beautiful pic-
tures. These are for balls, where the King and Queen
invite their noble guests ; the King himself dances, and
the Queen also with whom she pleases. When such
balls take place, the sounds of the musical instruments
in these rooms is heard at a distance of twenty miles."

EXPORTATION OF CORN FROM

FRANCE PROHIBITED.

(From the Moniteur.)

" PARIS, JAN. 21.

" Sire,—The crops of grain of 1838 are for France, if not the most
abundant, at least quite sufficient for her consumption. All f.•ar of a
want of the means of subsistence is, therefore, totally without reason in
our present situation; and it; by the course of affairs, the price of
wheat, which has for a long time been but too low, has risen, the in.
crease is not excessive, and in general is rendered nearly insensible by
the activity of trade and the increase of wages.
" Until now insignificant exportations of grain have not afforded pub-
lic confidence, but lately the demands from abroad have become consider-
able—the exportations have multiplied, and others are preparing in seve-
ral ports. The wants of some neighbouring countries have occasioned this
increase of demands, and the advance of prices and the augmenta!ion
of the export duties which result therefrom according to the terms of
the laws of the 15th of April, 1832, and the 26th of April, 1833, have
been useless in checking them. Certain parts of France are, therefore,
exposed in consequence of the local deprivation of their grain to see mo-
mentaneously their wants exceed their means.
" It is believed to be the duty of Government to prevent by all the
means which the legislation places in its power such a result ; and I have
therefore thought it my duty to propose to your Majesty to use the fa-
culty which belongs to you in case of urgency, by the terms of the 34th
article of the Law of Customs ((it:manes) of the 17th of December, 1814,
and to suspend provisionaliy, by ordinance, the exportation along our
Atlantic harbours of corn and flour.

" Besides, there can result from this measure no prejudice to other
interests equally worthy of the solicitude of the Government. The
price of corn in the interior assures the cultivators and merchants an
advantageous price.

" I have considered it my duty to propose to your Majesty to pro_
hibit the exportation from the ports of the Atlantic only, the expor..
tion by the Mediterranean or the land frontiers being of no importance.
" I am, with the profoundest respect, Sire, your Majesty's very
humble and faithful servant and subject,

THE NEW FAITH.

(From the Somerset County Gazette.)
Two correspondents are very wrath at the notice we l'afe
taken of this interesting subject. One asks us ‘. Who are this
party powerful in numters ? He has never yet mentloi ea
more than Pusey and Newman ?"
We will answer him as briefly as possible. Among OS
party are, in our own immediate neighbourhood,
Mr. Aelanil, M. P. for West Somerset.
Rev. Mr. Barnes, evening lecturer at the church of St.
Mars Magdah.n, the principal church in Taunton.
More
The Bishop of Exeter.
The Bishop of Oxford.
Niue out of the eleven beneficed clergymen in Leeds.
Mr. Gladstone, M.P. for Newark, the most ab!e of the Toil
Members of the present House of Commons.

This party publishes the following periodicals:—
The Morning Post, daily newspaper.
The Tracts, for the Times.
The Churchman.

The Church of England Quarterly Review.
The Isis.
We might extend this catalogue to any length Is the writer
of the letter answered?

We are challenged to prove the sincerity of our hostility to
the New Faith by petitioning for the restoration of the Test
Acts and the repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Bill. Let
us state as briefly why we would not do so.
Because we acknowledge the great principle that man Wig
answerable to God only for his religious creed, his fellow-me°,
have no right to make his religious creed the source either 01,
injury or of benefit to him. Because we hold the freedom °I
thought to be an inalienable right. Because we are profoundly
convinced that the arm of power will never destroy an opinion;
that persecution is a crime against God, and inexpedient i°
itself ; that out of the most perfect freedom of discussion comes
TRUTH.

Therefore would we suffer the Oxford Anti-Protestantt
freely to preach and teach their doctrines, opposing them 001/
by preaching and teaching doctrines which we believe to b°
more true.
But we would not permit them to do this in the name al:1d
under the authority of the Church. That is altogether ad"
fercnt question from the former. The Church was founded t°
support Protestantism—its pulpits should not be permitted t°,
be employed to destroy Protestantism. The Oxford PePis!,
ought to be summarily ejected from the Church ; indeed,'
they have any sense of propriety, they will voluntarily resig
the emoluments they have no right to hold, and throw theta"
selves; like othe: Dissenters, on their own resources.
