MARYLEBONE.

Nearly the whole time of the Magistrates this
week has been ocupied in hearing charges made by
the police against individuals who neglected to cause
the foot pavement in front of their houses to be
cleared of ice and snow, as required by the Street
Act. Mr. Minshull, the Magistrate of Bow-street,
is one of those who were fined ; and Mr. Michael
Angelo Taylor, the framer of the Act under which
these convictions take place, is summoned to ap-
pear this day, and answer the alleged charge of dis-
regarding it.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday John Riches Kent, alias Sharpe, alias
Marsden, and several other aliases, was brought
up for further examination, charged with stealing a
brown mare, the property of Mr. Thomas Pe!lett,
landlord of the Flying Horse Inn, Canterbury.
The parties were bound over to prosecute.
UNION-HALL

Yesterday Thomas Sales and John Lee were
brought before Mr. HONE and Mr.ELYARD, charged
with having been concerned in breaking into and
robbing the house of Mr. Bowles, at Enfield, in
Middlesex, on the night of the 19th of October
last. A man named Wood, who was also con-
cerned in the burglary, has since expiated his life
on the scaffold for the offence.

Mr. Bowles and other witnesses having detailed
the particulars of the robbery, in the course of the
evidence it was stated that the parties concerned in
the offence furnished themselves with a quantity of
laudanum, for the purpose of mixing in the beer,
which it was their intention to have treated the
complainant's servants with. To effect this, Wood,
who was acquainted with all Mr. Bowles's domes-
tics, was to have invited them to drink on the night
that the house was broken into, at a public-house
in the neighbourhood. There was no opportunity,
however, for accomplishing this purpose, which was
to have been done in order to throw the servants
into a state of stupefaction, so that the house could
be ransacked without the danger of being disturbed
in the offence. The bottles, however, containing
the liquid, together with a paper containing arsenic,
which is supposed to have been intended to poison
the dogs kept on the premises, were found near a
haystack, close to the house. Amongst the pro-
perty stolen were several fine paintings, which were
afterwards offered for sale in town by the thieves
for a mere trifle, they being unacquainted with their
value. There were also some hats taken, one of
which was a white beaver. These articles were
produced, and Lee was identified as having pledged
them at the shop of a pawnbroker in the London-
road.

The prisoner Lee made a voluntary confession, in
which he implicated Wood (the man since exe-
cuted), Sales, and two other men, not in custody.

' Lee described the manner in which the'robbery was
planned in London, and with great minuteness
de-
tailed the particulars of their journey to Enfield,•the
mode in which the prosecuustes house was entered,
and the different articles taken. therefrom,—their
journey back to town, and le public-houses they
stopped at on the road. He also.. described the cir-7', •
cumstance relative to the laudanum, and said that
he was intrusted by his associates 06 pour the liquid
into the beer intended for Mr. Bowles's servant,
when an opportunity presented itself, adding, al-
though he promised to execute it, he flung the bottles
containing the laudanum behind a hay-stack, deter-
mined on not fulfilling a promise which might ulti-
mately have caused the death of some of those who
might have drunk of the dangerous beverage.
Lee's confession was borne out in all its principal
circumstances by several witnesses, and both the pri-
soners were committed : Mr. HONE apprizing Lce
that it would rest entirely with the Judge before
the case was tried whether he would be admitted as
•
approver.

MEETING OF THE PARISHIONERS OF
ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN.

RECTOR'S TITRES.

Yesterday a 'numerous and highly respectable
Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of the
above parish was held in the Workhouse, Gray's-
inn-lane, for the purpose of receiving the Report of
the Committee appointed on the 29th day of June
last, relative to the Rector's claim for tithes.

Mr. MITE, the solicitor, of Bedford-row, WA3
called to the Chair.

Mr. TAYLOR, - the ♦estry clerk and solicitor to
the parish, proceeded to read the Report of the Com-
mittee, which proceeded to state, that the right of
the Rector (the Rev. Mr. Beresford) to claim tithes
from:the inhabitants of that portion of the parish
situate within the city of London, had already been
conceded; but the inhabitants of the Middlesex por-
tion of the parish, conceiving that they were not
bound by the same law upon which the Rector
had established his right elsewhere, revolved to
submit their case to Counsel, and accordingly
Mr. Beauclerk, of Lincoln's-inn, was selected for
that purpose. Mr. Taylor then read the opinion of
that gentleman, which stated that the Rector could
not maintain his claim for tithes upon the pa-
rishioners generally who resided in Middlesex, and
who had uniformly resisted such claim. It might, how-
ever, be different with respect to those parishioners
in that part of the parish who had been in the habit
of paying tithes; and in all such cases, the Learned
Counsel added his opinion, that the Rector's book
in which the receipt of those tithes were entered
would be sufficient evidence to establish his right
that particular. The report concluded by stating,
that as it was probable the Rector's demand for
tithes would shortly be extended over the whole of
the parish, such of the inhabitants as intended to rc-
'ist should give notice to the Rector that
they claimed the right of holding their premises
tithe-free ; and to cover the expenses of any further
litigation, it was recommended that a subscription
be entered into.

It was then, after some conversation, moved and
carried, that the report be received.
After some further observations, a resolution to
the following effect was proposed and carried :
" That the report be referred back to the Committee
already appointed, with power to appoint additional
Members from the Liberty of Saffron-hill, and that
a conference be appointed with the Rector or his
advisers for the purpose of ascertaining his inten-
tions; and that a general meeting of the inhabitants
be called to let them know the result.

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman,.and the
meeting separated.

MR. BOOTH, THE ACTOR.

(From the Boston Bulletin.)

We have learned the following particulars con-
cerning the unfortunate indisposition of Mr. Booth,
at the Tremont Theatre last night. Slight symptoms
of mental alienatio►+ have been perceived at times
during the whole engagement, but it was hoped he
would get through without failure. On Saturday he
was evidently worse; and Saturday night he made
several attempts to strangle a gentleman with whom
he slept, insomuch that the latter was obliged to
take another room. Sunday he was errant, but not
so furiously wild. The managers, not daring to
trust him, made arrangements on Monday to change
the performances, but late in the afternoon he ap-
peared so rational and calm, and dressed and talked
so judiciously, that they concluded to let him go on.
He said he was perfect and confident. Soon after he
came upon ►he stage, it was evident there would be
trouble. He forgot himself once or twice, and re-
ceived the word from Messrs. Smith and Scott; and
on going off he smiled at the former, as much as
to say, ",it.won't do," On appearing in the third
act he was wholly lost, and said, " Ladies and
gentlemen, I am imperfect in this part, but, if you
will talon' me to take the book and read, I will go
on." He also proposed that Mr. Wilson should
read for him. There was much applause, with some
hissing, and cries of " Booth, go on." He replied,
" I can't, I can't." He grew feeble as a child, and
looked wild and raving, when Mr. Smith came upon
the stage and led him off, assisted by Mr. Scott.
At this time he appeared the object of pity, saying,
faintly, " I am a, poor charity boy—take me to the
Lunatic Hospital.
Mr. Smith came on to apologise, and ask the in-
dulgence of the audience to a change of perform-
ances. Every one hail leave to take his money if
he chose. Some few took advantage of this per-
mission, but the house was almost crowded with
those who remained.

In the mean time Booth was remonstrating be-
hind the scenes : " I can redeem myself, Sir," he
said to the manager, " if you will let me play Sir
Edward Mortimer—you see I am dressed for the
part (which was true); " or I will play logo to
Mr. Pelby's Othello; I am more perfect in those
parts." He said this so rationally that the manager
was about to gratify him, when he broke away in a
strain of such decided madness, with glaring eyes
and altered voice, that nothing remained but to
pacify him, and go on with the comedy.
It is intended, we believe, to keep him under the
care of his physician, out of the way of all mental
excitement for a few days, that he may recover from
the shock of too great and too constantly wearing
exertion, and be enabled to appear again, with re-
novated health and strength. He should be advised
and warned to quit the stage for a time, and with-
draw from the cause of his disorder, before it be-
comes so firmly seated as to bid defiance to medical
skill.

PRO'VIDENCE, DEC. 11.--Mr. Booth, the cele-
brated tragedian, arrived in town yesterday, in a
mental derangement, having travelled on foot from
Boston. His feet were much swollen, and it is said
he slept in the woods on Wednesday evening, cover-
ing himself with the leaves of the forest. He is now
in the care of his friends, and we are happy to add,
appears to be recovering from his illness.—(We
learn that Mr. B. arrived in this city in the steam-
boat Benjamin Franklin, from Providence, yesterday
morning, and that he appears to be again rational.)

THE LAW INSTITUTION.—The members
of this Institution and their friends celebrated yesterday the
commencement of their new building, and the practical
establishment of the institution, by a dinner at Freema-
sons' Tavern. This institution, projected in 1825, is li-
mited to attornies, solicitors, and proctors, in England and
Ireland, and writers to the signet, and solicitors of the
courts, in Scotland. Its object is to increase the respecta-
bility of the profession, and promote the general conve-
nience and advantage of its members : with which view it
is proposed to provide a building, to consist of a hall, open
at all hours of the day, and furnished with desks or en-
closed tables, like LLOYD'S Coffee-house, with newspapers,
and other publications ; an ante-rwom for clerks and
others, in which is to be kept an account of business con-
nected with the profession; a library, which it is designed
shall contain acomplete collection of law books, an office
of registry, a club-room, &c. Lectures on the different
branches of law are also contemplated.

TIIE SCENES OF BYRON'S CHILDHOOD.

The following passages from Moore's " Life
of Byron," suggested by the character of the
scenery where Byron lived'when a child, and to
which he referred not unfrequently afterwards
when a man and a fashionable author, are worthy
of the pen of his highly-gifted biographer :
" To the wildness and grandeur of the scenes
among which his childhood was passed, it is not
unusual to trace the first awakeuingof his poetic
talent. But it may be questioned whether this
faculty was ever ro produced. That the charm
of seerery, which derives its chief power from
fancy and association, should be much felt at
an age when fancy is yet hardly awake, and
associations but few, can with difficulty, even
making every allowance for the prematurity of
genius, be conceived. The light which the poet
sees around the forms of nature is not so much
in the objects themselves as in the eye that con-
templates them ; and imagination must first be
able to lend a glory to such scenes before she
an derive inspiration from them. As materials,
indeed, for the poetic faculty, when developed,
to work upon, these impressions of the new and
wonderful, retained from childhood, and retained
with all the vividness of recollection which be-
longs to genius, may form, it is true, the purest
and most precious part of that aliment with
which the memory of the poet feeds his imagi-
nation. But still it is the newly-awakened
power within him that is the source of the
charm—it is the force of fancy alone that, acting
upon his recollections, impregnates, as it were,
all the past with poesy. In this respect, such
impressions of natural scenery as Lord Byron
received in his childhood, must be classed with
the various other remembrances which that pe-
riod leaves behind—of its innocence, its sports,
its first hopes and affections, all of them reminis-
K-ences which the poet afterwards converts to his
use, but which no more make the poet than, to
apply an illustration of Byron's own, the honey
can be said to make the bee that treasures it.—
When it happens, as was the case with Lord
Byron in Greece, that the same peculiar features
of nature, over which memory has shed this re-
flective charm, are re-produced before the eyes
under new and inspiring circumstances, and with
all the accessories which an imagination in its
full vigour and wealth can lend them, then, in-
deed, do both the past and present combine to
make the enchantment complete, and never was
there a heart more borne away by this conflu-
ence of feeling than that of Byron. In a poem
written about a year or two before his death, he
traces all his enjoyment of mountain scenery to
the impressions received during his residence in
the Highlands ; and even attributes the pleasure
which he experienced in gazing upon Ida and
Parnassus, far less to classical remembrance than
to those fond and deep-felt associations by which
they brought back the memory of his boyhood
and Lachm-y-Gair

Tit who first met the highlands swelling blue
'Will love each peak that shows a kindred hue,
?Jail in each crag a friend's familiar face,

And chip the mountain in his mind's embrace.

Long have I roamed through lands which are not mine,
Adored the Alp, and loved the Appenine,

_ .
Revered Parnassus, and beheld the steep.
_...,

. .
Jove's Ida, and Olympus crown the deep.
But %was not all long ages lore, nor all
Their nature held me in their thrilling thrall;
The infant rapture still survived the Loy,
And Loch-na-Gar with Ida looked o'er Troy,

MixedCelticmemorieswith the. Phrygian Mount,

And highland Jinn, with Cotalie's clear fount.' "

THEATRE, TOTTENHAM-STREET.

The new drama of the Forty Footsteps is running
a successful race, and though repeated each succeed-
ing evening its attractions seems undiminished.—
The afterpiece, last night, was Don Giovanni, in
which Mrs. WaYLETT played the lively hero with
very great effect. Madame VESTRIS'S laurels are
shaking, for her competitor possesses in an eminent
degree those same peculiar pretensions which ac-
quired the former fascinating actress so much cele-
brity in male characters—the strut, the swagger, the
pleasing imputience, and the symmetrical propor-
tion of—but we have said enough. Mrs. WAY-
LETT is deficient in none of those essentials to render
her Don a " marvellous proper Ivan." We must
not forget to mention in very favourable terms Miss
A. TREE'S song, " The Merry Girl of Portici," ti
medley from illossaniello, very tastefully arranged
by ALEXANDER LEE; it includes the delightful
barracole, part of the Market Chorus, and some
odd snatches from the best music of that brilliant
opera. It is well adapted to Miss A. TREE'S voice,
and she warbles the simple strains so sweetly as tt
call forth a nightly encore.
