THE DUKE

OF YORK'S SCHOOL.

The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, ac-
companied by the Lord Mayer elect, on Thursday
visited the Royal Military School at Chelsea.
Colonel Williamson, the commandant, Luguard
the adjutant and secretary, the chaplain, the sur-
geon, and other officers of the establishment, re-
ceived the company at the entrance and conducted
them throughout the various departments. Miss
Williamson joined the Lady Mayoress, together
with a party who were invited by the Commandant.
The boys were examined in both schools by the
chaplain, and they acquitted themselves most admi-
rably. Some of the smaller boys were employed at
needle-work, others at shoemaking, tailoring, and a
(treat variety of trades. When a regiment is in
want of recruits a notice, it appears, is placed in the
school-rooms, and any boys above fourteen years
of age who may wish to go into the army are al-
lowed to join that regiment. For those who prefer
trade or other occupations situations are provided,
and if their conduct merit reward they are at the
end of a certain number of years, upon producing
certificates of good behaviour from their employers,
publicly rewarded in the chapel of the institution.
There is no compulsion upon any to become mem-
bers of the military profession. They are princi-
pally orphan children, whose fathers have lost their
lives in the service of their sovereign, or are on
foreign duty, their mothers being dead. There are
two bands of music composed of boys from seven
to fourteen years of age.
After having been examined in their school, the
boys, 350 in number, from five years old to four-
teen, all dressed in military uniform, with their
flags flying, drums beating, and full band playing,
proceeded to the parade, where they marched in
military order before the party, and saluted as they
passed. Having performed all their evolutions,
and the parade having concluded, the boys went
through the course of their gymnastic exercises till
the beat of drum summoned them to dinner, after
which they again mustered on parade, when
Colonel WILLIAMSON, the Commandant, ad-
dressing the Lord Mayor, said that the Institution
had been honoured by visits from Emperors, Kings,
Queens, Princes, Potentates, and Rulers of all
sorts and degrees ; but although situated near, and
connected as this Institution was with, the City of
London, it never before was visited by a Chief
Magistrate.

The whole establishment, consisting of quarter-
master, steward, sergeant-majors, quarter-master-
sergeant, sergeant-assistants, sergeant-porters, pio-
neers, corporals, drum-major, the masters, task-
masters, matrons, nurses—all made their appear-
ance attired in their official dresSes. The boys
composing the band, in their full dresses and fea-
thers, elicited great applause from the visitors.
His Lordship then requested that the Colonel
would allow the boys a half-holiday, an indulgence
which was readily conceded ; and when the tidings
were communicated to them by the Adjutant, the
band struck up the national anthem, and the joyful
little army gave three cheers and continued cheer-
ing till the carriages were out of sight.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 14. THE
COUNTY RENTAL.—A meeting of the Magistrates of
tne County of Middlesex was held on Monday at the
Guildhall, Westminster, to receive from the church-
wardens a return of the rentals of their respective pa-
rishes, to enable the Court to assess the same rate to
the county rate. Mr. Sergeant Adams in the chair.
The return of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-Garden,
showed a rental of 40,7731. The Chairmen inquired if
the Court was to understand that the parish had re-
assessed the theatres at the rate fixed by the Court last
year, or at a higher one ? The officer replied—At a
higher value certainly, and an appeal either had been
or would be made in consequence. The Chairman
Then the whole matter must abide the result of that
appeal. The Chairman, at the close of the proceedings,
said there appeared to be an increase in the rental of
the county of 100,0001. ; and he further stated, as a
proof of the astonishing amount of the rental paid in the
County, that in three parishes alone the return was up-
wards of 1,900,0001.

SADLER'S WELLS.

The Christmas atttrastions at this theatre were the
new melo-dramatic romance, " The Sea Devil, or
the Fisherman's Boy," in which Mrs. R. Honner sus-
tained the principal character ; and a " new grand ec-
centric, zoological, and comic pantomime," called " Har-
lequin and Old Father dEsop, or Little Cock Robin
and the Children in the Wood." Amongst the most
impressive incidents was the introduction of a huge
deal box, labelled, " An expensive curiosity just im-
ported from Germany," out of which the " lath"
of Harlequin conjured a military gentleman dressed
in the style of a distinguished personage, who
has recently left this country for the pur-
pose of quickly returning to it. The Clowns (for
there were two, Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Stilt, who
performed the Cock Robin) belaboured the military
gentleman sans mercy with a German sausage which
they found upon him. Driven to extremity, he made a
desperate dash through the windows of the Queen's
Arm's Tavern ; and down over the fracture that he had
made there fell an inscription informing the public that
the foreign gentleman " had just gone into the Queen's
Arms." The termination of the pantomime was, of
course, the happiest imaginable. The pioce was an-
nounced by Mr. Montgomery for repetition " every
night until further notice." The pantomime ;s over.
flowing with action, but the introduction is much tor;
lengthy. The parts of Columbine and Harlequin were
admirably sustained.

HA YMARKET.

The " Sea Captain," and the romance of " O'Flanni-

night. The house, considering the more glittering at-
tractions of the other theatres, was tolerably well at-
tended. Power's admirable performance of the abste-
mious O'Flannigan, kept the audience in one continued
roar of laughter till the fall of the curtain.

SURREY.

Davidge, the spirited proprietor of this theatre de-
termined not to be outdone by any of his contemporaries
brought out this evening no less than three new pieces
as Christmas novelties, one entitled, " Michael Earle,
the Maniac Lover ; or, the Faire Lasso of Lichfield ;" ano-
ther, " Family Jars Mended ;" and, though last not least,
that essential at this season of the year, a pantomime
entitled " The Queen Bee, or Harlequin and Little
Goody Two-Shoes." The theatre, we congratulate
Davidge in saying, was crowded in every part ; but the
noise of the gods during the first and second
pieces renders it impossible to give any
description, or even the plot of them. Suffice it to
say, that both pieces were received most enthusiastically,
and are likely to have a run on this side of the water.
As to the pantomime, we cannot say too much in its
favour—it is everything it should be. The changes are
excellent, and, in many instances, almost electrifying ; and
the diorama, by Phillips, of " Our Native Land," reflects
the greatest credit upon the artist, and is calculated to
impres son every true lover of his country a desire not
to wander in foreign lands for the picturesque and
beautiful.

ENGLISH OPERA-HO USE.

There was a good attendance last uight at this
theatre, in despite of the attractions held out by the
pantomimes, to enjoy the instrumental performances
which go under the name of the Concerts a la Musard.
The programme presented no feature of novelty, bur.
the selection made was judicious, and gave very ge-
neral satisfaction. The overtures were " Preciosa," " Ce-
nerentola," and "La Bayadere." Meyerbeer's iwaltz
" Les Hugenots," arranged by Mr. C. Coote, wth an
accompaniment of harps by Messrs. John Ireland and
Streather, was admirably executed by the orchestra.
The same remark will apply to a selection from Meyer-
beer's opera of " Robert Le Diable," arranged ex-
pressly for these concerts by Signor Negri, the conduc-
tor, with solos of harp, corno Inglese, bassoon, and cla-
rionet. We are glad to see these concerts retain the
place which they at once occupied in the public estimation,
as they certainly tend to elevate the standard of musical
taste in this country.

MEETING O} MIL O'CONNELL'S
CONSTITUENTS.

(Abridged from the fliitll t Monitor.)

A. most numerous and respectable meeting of Mr.
O'Connell's constituents was held this day, in the Adela
phi Theatre, Great trunswick-sfreaf, The Hon. and
Learned Gentleman, who appeared in etedlent health
and spirits, entered the theatre about a quarter past
three o'clock, and was received with the most decided
marks of approbation. A few moments after haltpast
three he rose to address the large assembly which stood
collected to hear him. After the renewed applause had
subsided,
Mr. O'CONNELL then said—l have called this meet-
ing not only to express to such of my constituents as
should do me the honour of complying with my request
to meet me here, that I might express to them my opi-
nions of the present political aspect of this country, but
to avail myself of the opportunity of conveying those
opinions, through the medium of the press, not only
throughout the British dominions, but, I may venture
to hope, throughout civilised Europe.—(Cheers.) I am
convinced that we have arrived at a crisis of singular
importance—(Hear, hear)—l am convinced that we
we have arrived at a period when, as I stated in the
circular which convened you, the lives, liberties, pro-
perties, and rights of the Irish people arc at stake—
(Cheers)—and that we are arrived at a conjuncture of
affairs when, if we do not determine on manfully defend-
ing those rights and liberties, they will be filched from
us by a base and vile faction, and trampled under the
hoofs of a malignant despotism.—(Cheers.) I would
have preferred not resorting again to agitation while the
Government remained in the hands of men fairly and
honestly disposed towards the Irish people—l would
have been induced, while our affairs continued to be ad-
ministered as they were, by Lord Melbourne in England,
and Lord Ebrington in Ireland, to refrain from dis-
turbing by a single ruffle, that serenity of the popular
tranquillity which now pervades this country.—(Loud
cheers.) But the avowal of the sentiments of the
Tory party in England, exhibiting in its vilest forms, the

BOW.STREET.-(•THIS DAY.)

Joseph Nichols, a private in the First Company of
the Third Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was
placed at the bar by 122 F, who stated that about six
o clock last evening he observed the prisoner running
through George-court, Strand, with a new Malacca
cane in his hand, and before he had time to ask him
how he came in possession of it he heard the cry of
" Stop thief," and he took him into custody.
Edward Shenton, shopman to Mr. Cheek, 52, Strand,
identified the cane, value 135., his master's property.
The prisoner came into the shop in company
with another, in a state of intoxication, and on
turning round, for the purpose of handing down
a stick, which the other expressed a wish to see, the pri-
soner laid hold of the cane, which stood in the window,
and escaped from the shop with it. On being taken
into custody he appeared to have been drinking, but
knew well what he was doing.

The prisoner sad he was drunk, and he did not
know what he eras about.

The sergeant of his company said that the prisoner
had been in the regiment about two years, and no com-
plaint had ever been preferred against him before.
Mr. HALL said the case was of that nature he could
not order his discharge, for if every person was allowed
to plead drunkennness as an excuse for crime, there
would be very little protection for the public.
The prisoner was ordered to be committed for trial to
the Middlesex sessions.

It duty.ap p andra eddrihvai driving James Winchivoilh, a pianoforte-maker, and George
Lincoln, a cabinet-maker, were brought up by Richbell,
109 F, charged with assaulting him in the execution of
his
g a gig violently through the streets.
at seven o'clock yesterday evening
a crowd was collected in Russell-street, Covent-garden,
round a poor basket wom!tri who had been knocked
et
down by the defendants' furiously driving while in a
state of intoxication, but on taking them to the station
as they had satisfied the poor woman who suffered no
more injury than the loss of her fruit, they were suf-
fered to go about their business. They, however,
no sooner got into the streets than they again
in
commenced flogging the horse such a manner
as to compel every person passing by to fly in all direc-
tions for safety. The constable seeing their conduct
took hold of the horse's head, when Lincoln swore at
him, and attempted to assault him after he jumped out
of the gig. The other remained in the gig, and from
his manner seemed entirely unable to take a direct
course, and being taken to the station-house, Lincoln
made several attempts to strike every person who came
in his way.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27,1839.

wheat to England by the Theiss, Danube, Saave, 1
and Culpa rivers to Fiume must be evident.
HEMP.—Considerable quantity produced in
Hungary ; a good deal is sent into Austria. There
exists a very great difference in the several quanti-
ties of Hungarian hemp ; that of Appathin is the
best ; it is a fine, strong hemp, better than any
that can be produced in Croatia, from which only
our dockyards have made trials.
FLAX.—It is not brought much into market.
There is a large quantity produced in the country,
but it is used up by the peasants, who are the
only home manufacturers. There is no doubt but
that this article, if there was opportunity for sale,
could be brought forward very extensively. Tran-
sport from Pest to Trieste, same as hemp.
WINE.—The quantity produced in Hungary is
very great, without doubt, next to France in amount.
Among Hungarian wines adapted to the Eng-
lish market are, red, old Meneser, a strong liqueur
wine of great body and delicacy. Erlauer, well
suited for an English dinner wine, fruity and
strong. Villanser, and the best classes of red Of-
ner, are also, along with the last, strong, good-
bodied, dry wines. The most recherche wines of
Hungary, however, are the white. The first
in rank among them is the notable wine
of Tokay, and its neighbourhoods of Talza,
Tarza, Mada, eve. The quantity produced round
Tokay of this class of wine, and bearing its name,
is much more considerable than is generally sup-
posed, averaging from 200,000 to 300,000 emirs
yearly. Of other white wines Somlauer is an ex-
cellent dinner wine, strong, of great flavour, 40
florins the eimer. White Huster is a pretty liqueur
wine, of great delicacy, 50 florins the eimer. Mer-
chants will contract to expedite these wines from
Pest to Trieste at 4 florins the eimer (in gross).
All the wines that I have quoted improve by age
and bottling ; if well cleaned, &c., there is every
proof that they would travel without detriment.
The remaining general mercantile productions of
Hungary and Transylvania, that I have met with,
are—tobacco, of rare excellence, hides, rape seed,
furriery, wax, tallow, cantharides, a nuisance in the
country ; pottery, extensively transported to Servia;
and fire-arms. The few manufactures proper at pre-
sent to that country are—the household labour of
the peasantry, worsted work, embroidery, some of
very superior workmanship, and linen of coarse
quality.
The amount of last year's production of minerals
in Hungary and Transylvania was as follows :—ln
Hungary—of gold, 2,288 mares ; silver, 63,905

Mr.WARD said as the preent Committee very much
resembled that in the case of the Hon. Member for
Southwark, he thought it indispensable, before the mo-
tion was put, that an imputation which had been tbrpwn
out by that Hon, Member (whom he was glad to see
again in his place) io his last address to his consti-
tuents, should be explained, J n that address he used
terms which he should be happy to hear him explain.
In that Address the Hon. Member stated that, he con-
ceived himself, although he could not recollect the exact
words, to have been the victim of the Select Committee,
with whose appointment he had nothing to do, and
from whose proceedings he had been perfectly excluded.
He believed every Member on t.at Committee was
most anxious to do his duty, and as to the Hon. Nem.
ber for Southwark being excluded from its deliberations

CONSTANTINOPLE; FEB. 7.—lt is evident to every body
here that the Porte is preparing for war, and that with a
degree of activity and energy, which proves the Sultan to
be fully alive to the importance of the impending crisis. I
know from official returns, that 17,000 seamen have already
been impressed for the fleet ; and the Redif, or militia, is
being augmented all over the country. The ships of war
in the stocks, both here and at the outports, are to be
launched and equipped without further delay ; and Mr.
Rhodes, the American superintendent of the arsenal, goes
to day by the Trebizond steamer to Sinope, to hasten the
completion of a ship of the line that is building there.
Everything indicates that the ensuing spring will be
fruitful in events. These armaments and preparations
were originally set afoot for the settlement of the Egyptian
question, which the concurrence of our Government in the
views of the Porte had placed beyond a doubt as soon as
far mightier interests, and consequences much
the season should have arrived ; but to this, in the mean-
while, another (that of Persia) has been superadded, which,
alarming, has redoubled the efforts of his Highness to
against all contingencies. His : :
