" GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.

" A private letter from Carlsruhe has the following pas-
sage :—' It seems that the Grand Duke of Baden, whose
parsimony had become proverbial, has left great riches :
various secret cupboards contrived in pieces of furniture,
behind the wainscoting, and under the floor of his apart-
ment, concealed his private treasure: By his will he has
bequeathed all his private effects, and all the riches con-
tained in his chamber, to Mademoiselle Werner, named
Countess of Laugenstein. According to the instructions
which he has left, search has been. made for his treasure.
Immense sums have been found in gold and in diamonds
in various hidden receptacles, especially within a large
piece of furniture, covered with a marble slab, which he
had particularly pointed out to the witnesses of his bequests
in favour of the Countess. The new Sovereign is nut at
all pleased at being disinherited of such a brilliant fortune,
and that at a moment when money might he of such essen-
tial service to his interest. It is supposed that he will not
give up the riches amassed by his predecessor, and that
legal proceedings will be instituted to invalidate the "

THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.

MISS PATON AND MR. WOOD.

There was a very thin attendants last night, and the
limited number of females was still more remarkable than
on the former evening. The engagement of Miss PATON
and Mr. Woon (a union of attraction which bad taste
alone could have suggested) has proved a miserable failure ;
and the coffers of the theatre, which those who wrong'y
calculated upon the depravity of the Irish mind supposed
would be replenished, will suffer by this injudicious and
imprudent experiment upon public morality.
The piece selected for last evening was Guy Manner-
ing, in which Miss PATON personated Lucy Bertram,
and gava all the songs allotted to her with that scientific
effect and bewitching sweetness for which she is so pecu-
liarly distinguished.

Mr. Woon, as Henry Bertram, again obtruded him-
self, and had another opportunity of displaying his im-
pertinent disregard of the strong manifestation of
execration which his appearance excited. This person
has rightly estimated his own powers, in seeking for a re-
putation by other means than as a vocalist, for there is
no one upon the stage more overrated. Throughout
the dialogue, he betrayed a total ignorance of the
most simple grammatical rules, and his lapses in this
respect caused much merriment amongst the auditory.
In his closing scene, where he recognis2s Lucy as his
sister, his bear-like embrace, which was meant as a greet-
ing of Miss PATON, exhibited the gross uncouthness of
the mis-shapen animal, and the audience expressed their
sense of the indecent and unbecoming display. A word as
to the personal attractions of Mr. Woon. Observed from
the centre of the house, he appears to be about five feet
ten inches in height, clumsily made, with particularly bad
knees and legs, and a clownish awkwardness of gait and
carriage, which an affectation of gentility only renders
more apparent. His countenance is so fat• from prepos-
sessing, that it is ugly, and almost forbidding. This is not
an exaggerated picture ; and we have taken the trouble of
pourtraying it, i❑ order to show to those of our readers
who have been restrained by a sense of public decency from
visiting the theatre, the person who has been thrust for-.
ward by certain circumstances, into a degree of public no-
toriety, which he never could otherwise have attained.—

YORKSHIRE.—It is confidently stated that
11. F. WiLsoN, Esq. will retire from the representation of
this county at the next election. Mr. DoNcomhE and
Mr. MAasnALL intend to offer again; but there appears
to be some doubt as to the intentions of Lord MILTON, on
account of the advanced age of his father, Earl FITZ-
BETHELL, the Hon. JOHN WOl4,TItElr,
son of Lord WaaalicLlFFE, and Mr. C. Woop,„ bon of S.r
F. L. WOOD, have been inentinned as new candidates.

REPRESENTATION Or YORK.—The diffe-
rent parties in this city are all on the qui vive, in arttic.-
pation of an election. There have been depotrtions from
York to Hull, Leeds, &c. where mctirings have been held
and resolutions passed to support a candidate of true blue,
or Protestam4 priaoiples. The same feeling appears to be
prevahatt among a majority of the York Freemen resident
in other places.—A meeting of the York Whig Club was
hell on Monday evening at ETILIDGE'S Ilotel, voiell it
was announced that Mr. WYWILL did not again ntend to
offer himself for the representf.kt,ian of York. A Com-
mittee was formed to forward the interests of any gentle-
men wl:,o might offer themselves on Whig principles.—

The following is a letter to Sig JAMES
GRAIII3I from the inhabitants of Ncwzark Sir,—
We, the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of
Newark•upon-Trent and its neighbourhood, beg to ex-
prass our naost sincere gratitude to you for your extremely
valuable exposure of the enormous and oppressive system
of taxation under which the nation is now severdy suf-
fering ; and we sincerely hope ',-11U you will continue to
use your laudable v;wl roost praiseworthy exertions to ex-
pose and weven:: the present shameful, extravagant, and
unnecessary expenditure of the country's resource:, it
being our opinion, that unless the taxes be very mate-
rially reduced, we, in common with the great mass of the
tradesmen and farmers the United Kingdom, must be
reduced to a stale of poverty, and it will be impossib,te.
for the landlords any longer to receive their rents."—
