THE NAW MONTHLY BELLE ASSEM-

BLEE. _
In this receptacle of the first offerings of unfledged
poets and youthful romancists there are many tender
effusions of considerable merit, and still more of great
promise. Mrs. Cornwall Baron Wilson has contributed
some touching eligiac stanzas to the memory of the much-
lamented Thomas Haynes Bayley, and a lyric of great
beauty beginning " Not now, not now." A number of
gaudily-dressed young ladies in all conceivable attitudes
display the fashions for the month—thus supplying an
ample stock of dress-making knowledge for the study
of such as delight in the intermixture of nice bonnets
and nice love-ditties—tales of broken hearts and French
sleeve-patterns.

THEATRES.

HER MAJESTY'S.

We confess to the having heard of three fragments of operas
being, once upon a time, successful ; but we did not experience it
to be so last Thursday night. An act of the Puritani, another of
Lucia di Lammermoor, and a third, the Nozze di Figaro, did cer
tainly not produce that general effect which is known by the name
of unity. Still the experiment was well meant. The new opera,
Lucretia Borgia, was to have been in readiness for that evening;
but it was not then anticipated that Ascot Heath, with a thousand
charms, would draw the whole town to do honour to its attractions.

It had, therefore, been found necessary to postpone it, and get up
something less interesting in its place. The result was the trio of
broken operas, which, however, were remarkably well performed,
encores being most profusely insisted upon. The house had a very
respectable appearance.

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, MAY 28.—His Excellency Rear- Admira
Ryk, Governor. Gene' al of the Dutch Possessions in the
West Indies, sailed for the Helder on the 26th, on board
his Majesty's corvette Amphitrite, bound to Surinam. It
is observed that for some days past the sittings of the
Council of Ministers have been very frequent, in conse-
quence, it is supposed, of the approach of the time for ex-
changing the ratification of the two treaties which put an
end to the differences between Holland and Belgium.
The ratifications are to be exchanged at London, on Friday
next at the latest.

The Grand Duke Alexander and Prince Henry are ex-
pected to leave England at the end of the month, and
return to the Hague.
We learn that the young bride of the Hereditary Prince
is diligently studying the Dutch language, and that she
will bring no more than a couple of attendants
from Germany, as the household will be composed
entirely of Dutch ladies. All who have had the good for-
tune to become acquainted with the young Princess who
is one day to adorn the throne of the Netherlands, unani-
mously speak in the highest terms of her amiable qualities.
Her beauty is well known to us from the repeated visits
with which she has for some years past honoured our coun-
try in company with the King, her father. It is less known
that the Princess is no less favoured by fortune than by
nature, her property being at an annual receipt of 700,000
florins.—Dutch Papers, May 29.
BERLIN.—A storm, such as the oldest inhabitants have
never before seen, burst to day over the city. A torrent of
rain inundated the streets in a few minutes. and a tremen-
dous shower of hail covered the ground. Everything in
the gardens is literally cut to pieces. Two children were
drowned.

MAY 23.—The Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklen-
burg Schwerin, have arrived here.
MAGDEBURG, MAY 17.—1 t is said that the Hanoverian
Government has opened negoeiations at Berlin for a treaty
with the Stateci forming the German Commercial League.

ST JAMES'S.

Yesterday evening being the last night of the Reason Mr. Roxby
came forward at the conclusion of the farce •f Teddy the Tiler, and
delivered the following valedictory address •._

" Ladies and Gentlemen,—Mr. Hooper having, from a profes-
sional engagement in the provinces, been compelled to deprive
himself of pleasure of addressing you this evening, he has deputed
me to discharge for him that duty which otherwise it would
have have been his cheerful task to have himself performed.
To-night, therefore, it becomes my office to state that
the performances you have now witnessed terminate a
season fraught with even more than the customary risk and expen.
diture attendant on theatrical speculations of the present day—a
season during which we have striven, with the aid of monkeys,
goats, lions, tigers, and other expatriated denizens of the forests, to
obtain your patronage; and for the flattering approbation with
which you have honoured our efforts, we now beg to offer our mo.t
sincere and grateful acknowledgments. In addition to having laid
all quarters of the globe under contribution for your enter-
tainment, our most cheering retrospect consists in having
afforded a shelter for that portion of a company thrown out
of engagements by unforeseen circumstances in the unex-
pected and premature closing of a patent establishment.
Although the season has not afforded by any means a reali-
zation of the term successful, in all that relates to the public the pro-
prietor has every reason to be satisfied and grateful. An adequate
share of patronage has been extended to this establishment ; and we
may at the same time affirm that genet al approbation has rewarded
the endeavour to provide you with a place of amusement in all re.
apects calculated for the purposes and objects of dramatic representa-
tion. This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the gratifying retrospect of
the past; I need not detain you by a detailed anticipation of the fu.
ture. The time that may elapse before we meet again shall be em-
ployed in renewed exertions for your patronage, a continuance of
which it will ever be our constant study to merit, and pride to ob-
tain. Once more, in the name of Mr. Hooper and my brother and
sister performers, allow me respectfully to bid you farewell."
London, England, 1839-06-01

HAYMARKET.

Miss Maywood took the part of Mrs. Haller, in The Stranger, on
Thursday night, and we are glad to be able to speak more decidedly
in her favour than when she appeared as Bianca, in Fazio—a part
on which the whole weight of the play depends, and requiring more
strength and aptitude than so young a performer could possibly yet
have acquired. Miss Maywood's Mrs. Haller was marked by a great
deal of genuine feeling and natural tenderness, and the represen-
tation possessed an entireness and a smoothness which could not be
said to belong to her former effort. She also looked very interesting,
and the lady-likeness of her deportment was remarkable. Nothing
can render the play otherwise than disagreeable, without at all
joining in the maukish cry against its morality; and if originally it
had a long run, it was indebted for it to the acting of John Kemble
and Mrs. Siddons. Miss Mowood's performance certainly tended
i
to lessen our repugnance, and Mrs. Haller has seldom been shown n
a more amiable point of view. We think that the audience hardly
did her justice, for though she was applauded now and then as she
proceeded, particularly in the last act, there was no attempt to call
for her at the fall of the curtain. This coldness might in part be
attributable to the distressing effect of the last scene, withits truly
German conclusion. Cooper played the Stranger respectably, and
the other characters were adequately filled by Miss Mordaunt, Lacy,
Strickland, Buckstone,

The Augsburgh Gazette of the 26th ult, pub-
lishes a letter from the polish frontiers of the 18th ult.,
which states " that the movements of troops in Poland and
in the interior of Russia continue, and that the concentra.
tion has for its object to establish a camp in this month,
which is to be honoured with the presence of the T ,
Ampertai
Family. Many foreign Princes have also been invited,
and the division encamped will consist of 70,000 men."

SUSSEX.-WOODENDEAN, NEAR BRIGHTON.

VALUABLE ESTATE, containing 506 Acres, together with the

FREEHOLD TITHES thereon.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received direc-
tions from the Proprietor to SELL by AUCTION, at the
Auction Mart, London, on Tnuasmiv, the Gth of June, at Twelve
o'Clock,

_
A valuable FREEHOLD and COPYHOLD ESTATE, conk
prising a commodious and gentlemanly Residence, of recent erec-
tion, with gardens, agricultural buildings, and 506 acres of produc-
tive arable, and fertile down land, together with a small portion of
pasture; the whole lying within a ring fence, and pleasantly situated
in the parish of Roo ingdean, about three miles from Kemp Town.
A Ise the Great Tithes of the Estate, which are Freehold.

The Residence (which at a moderate expense might be converted
into a Mansion of superior grade) is beautifully situated in a valley,
and protected by ornamental plantations; close to the homestead
are Four Cottages, which originally formed the Farm House, and
these might be reconverted at an unimportant outlay. The land is of
productive, convertible, and kindly description, well watered, and
adapted to the growth of green, and every variety of white straw
crops, and the entire surface will lay down to permanent pasture.

The Estate is in an exceedingly high state of cultivation, and is
particularly adapted to the grazing of sheep. It is let under an
agreement for a term of 14 years,. from Michaelmas next, to a most
responsible tenant, at a rent of 4801. per annum.
The Residence commands a view of the sea, and is in a district
remarkahle for the dryness and healthiness of its soil and atmosphere.
The Estate is well stocked with Game, an the country is regu-
larly hunted by the East Sussex Foxhounds, and frequently by
Colonel Wyndham's. Two packs of Harriers also meet every week
on the Estate.

The Estate may be ♦iewed ; and descriptive particulars may be
had of Messrs. Cold batch and Upperton, solicitors, Brighton ; of.
Mr. Ridley, auctioneer, Brighton; of Messrs, Hall, Thompson,
and Sewell, solicitors, Saltes'r Hall, London; at the Auction
Mart; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, Bucklersbury,

ROLLS' COURT.-(l'' HIS DA t.)

This being the last day of Term, the MASTER of the
ROLLS took motions, but no case possessing any feature
of interest came before the Court up to.the time of our
going to press.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)

THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF LISICEARD.

In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upon the
Mayor and Town Council of the Borough of Liskeard
to show cause why they should not pay the costs of an
application to the Lords of the Treasury for an annuity
of 121. to Mr. Murray, late Clerk of the Market and
Inspector of the Town Clock of that Borough.
Mr. MANNING now appeared to show cause against
the rule, and contended that the office was one which,
under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations'
Act, the Corporation should not have granted com-
pensation for.
Lord DENMAN-Why do you not pay the costs?
Mr. MANNING said the defendants conceived they
had good grounds for resisting their payment. The fact
was, that the Lords of the Treasury would never have
made the award, but that the borough had only one
representative, Mr. Charles Buller, who was at that
time in Canada ; and had he been at home, and have paid
a visit to the Treasury, the award in Mr. Murray's
favour would never have been made.—(Laughter.)
The COURT, after hearing the arguments of Counsel,
thought no good grounds had been shown for refusing
the payment of costs, and made the rule absolute.

THE QUEEN V. RICHARD BLOW.

The defendant in this case, who had been indicted
and found guilty of obstructing a public road, at Ware,
in Hertfordshire, appeared upon the floor of the Court,
to receive judgment.
After some affidavits in mitigation of punishment had
been read,
Mr. PLATT for the defendant said he really did not
know what the parties prosecuting wanted, if they did
not want to ruin the defendant. He was most willing to
restore the road to its original state if that would be con-
sidered satisfactory.
Counsel for the prosecution having assented to this,
the defendant was discharged, on his own recognizances
to come up and receive judgment when called upon.

Admiral Sir Edward Codrington is expected to ar-

A considerable difficulty has arisen, owing to the en-
croaching spirit displayed by the managers of the Float-
ing Bridge. They have commenced building a wall on
the lower part of the beach, on a spot not included
within their lawful bounds, but from which their own
Act of Parliament actually excludes them ; and de-
priving the public of a roadway which has been enjoyed
by them from time immemorial. The Town Council
have very properly interfered for the protection of the
public rights, and a correspondence is going on con-
nected with it under the hands of the Improvement
Committee.

It was remarked at the Privy Council held on
Saturday that the Queen appeared to feel the extremo
stay
awkwardness of her position, looked unusually pale, sand
read the declaration of her intended marriage with
some trepidation of voice and manner, though she pro-
nounced the words mature consideration emphatically.
Her Majesty wore a brilliant bracelet, on which was the
portrait of Prince Albert. The Marquis of Lansdowne
addressed a very complimentary speech to her when she
had concluded hers, saying, " that he was persuaded
that the news of her approaching nuptials would diffuse
universal joy throughout the realm, and that he begged
her gracious permission to make the news public." The
Queen bowed gracefully, and handed him her speech.
All eyes were on the Duke of Wellington, and univer-
sal joy- was experienced at seeing his Grace so perfectly
recovered.

HATTON-GARDEN.

An old Irishwoman, named Connord, was charged
with cutting and wounding Elizabeth Crosby, under
singularly aggravated circumstances.
The complainant, who appeared in great agony,
stated that on Friday afternoon she came with her
sister from Brentford, and entered the Pheasant public-
house, in Gray's-inn-lane, to procure some refreshment.
The prisoner, who was inebriated, was there, and with-
out the least cause threatened to stab them, and they
were obliged to rush out of the room to save their lives.
The accused having been appeased they again went
into the tap-room to finish their repast, and all was
quiet for some time. At length the prisoner rose up to
leave the house, when she stumbled, and her cap coming
in contact with a lighted candle it ignited, and had not
witness and her sister rushed upon her and extinguished
the fire, which had spread to her gown, her life, in all
human probability, would have been sacrificed. In re-
turn for this act of kindness, the defendant seized a
quart pot, and struck her with it many times on the
head, and disfigured her face in a shocking manner.
A policeman said that he was called into the house,
and he found the prosecutrix in a most deplorable con-
dition. Every attention had since been paid to her.

Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that this was the worst
case that had been before him since he had presided at
that office. He asked the prisoner what she had to say
for herself?—Prisoner (howling)—Och, the Lord be
praised, nothing at all, yer honour.
Mr. GREENWOOD—You are a dangerous and wicked
woman, and ought not to be at large. The extent of
the punishment I can inflict is to sentence you to two
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. It
I were to commit you for trial you might escape alto-
gether, therefore I commit you for that term.
She was then locked up, and an order was given for
the prosecutrix's admission into the hospital.
London, England, 1839-11-25

PROVISION MARKET.

The stocks generally by no means large, and there was but
little business passing. Irish Bacon at 50s. to 535. for middles;
Irish Butter, 765. to Ms. for Cork and Carlow ; Bladdered
Lard, 625. to 645. No Foreign Butter in the market ; and
nothing doing in Navy Provisions.
HOP MARKET.

The price •f Hops continue unaltered, and there was still a
good demand for fine coloury descriptions. The lower.qualitics
were extremely languid. The duty is 230,000/.
SEED MARKET.

Prices much as they were last week. The most lively de-
scriptions were Linseed and Rape Seed, the former at 355. :to
425. per qr. ; and the latter at 321. per last. The arrivals of all
kinds of seed are ♦ery moderate.
TEA MARKET.

Tea continues to excite attention, and it is the only commo.
dity that can be said to be brisk. Extreme prices continue to
be paid, The kinds most sought after are the low Congous and
Twankays.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY,• TWELTE O'CLOCK.

The arrivals this morning are two French mails, two
Ostend, and one Dutch. Ship-letters, from Philadelphia,
Cape of Good Hope, 16th of Sept., Calcutta, 11th of
May. Old dates with the exception of that from the

The only arrival", this morning of any importance is
the express from Madrid, with the intelligence of the
lissolution of the Cortes. The telegraph of Bayonne
Further announces that all continued perfectly tranquil
in the above capital. _ _

Two Mexican packets are now due ; some fear has
been entertained for the first, being so long overdue
but she might have experienced bad weather goiogtopt,
in consequence of which her sailing from Vera crux
might be of a later date than anticipated. It is stated
that each of the above packets will, have a freight of a
million of dollars on board. .

ciently informed respecting the credit due to the
reports which represented thousands of French.
men as being detained in the mines of
of Siberia in. contempt of the treaties. For the
sake both of the truth and public morals, the King's
Government will investigate the origin of these
reports, and will ascertain whether the source
from which they issue is pure and disinterested.
As for Marshal SOULT, to whom Le Commerce
more particularly addresses its questions, he repels
with indignation even the bare idea that he could
for a moment be indifferent to the fate of a single
French soldier who might languish in captivity far
from his own country, and contrary to the law of
nations, and he does not allow any person whatever
to breathe even a suspicion on this point."

BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.)
THE QUEEN V. THE TOWNSHIP OF BARNARD CASTLE.
In this case an indictment had been removed into
this Court to try the question whether a road in the
township of Barnard Castle was a turnpike road, and
whether the trustees were liable to repair it.
Mr. Buss now moved for a rule to show cause why
part of the fine should not be imposed on the trustees,
under the statute of George 111., by which it is enacted
that when the inhabitants of any parish shall be presented
for not repairing a turnpike road, the Court shall impose
a fine, such fine shall be apportioned between the inha-
bitants of the parish and the trustees or commissioners
of such turhpike road. The trustees in the present
case were in the receipt of 1,4001. and the cost of
repairing the road was 750/., so that they had actually
a surplus income for the payment of their debts. The
fine sought to be enforced was only 301. but the object
was to try whether the trustees were bound to repair
or the township.
His LORDSHIP granted a rule to show cause.

condition of the baby, offered to pay, for the
stockings, but the prisoner, being in liquoT; refused,

Madrid Journals of the 13th have reached us.
It was expected that the Gazette of the following
day would publish the new Ministerial arrange-
ments. The appointments were said to be the
same that we announced in The Sun of yesterday.
The further prorogation of the Corks till the 20th
of December was contemplated by the Cabinet.
Accounts had reached the capital that the inhabi-
tants of Saragossa, Seville, Valencia, Grenada,
Cordova, Malaga, and Cadiz, had resolved not to
par the taxes if the Corks were dissolved. On the
Stock Exchange prices were rather on tile decline
on the 13th, although a good deal of business was
i
clone. The Five per Cents. opened at 3U for
cash and closed at 30.

RURAL POLICE.—A meeting of the Castle
and East Wards of Northumberland was held in the
Moot-hall on Friday last, to take into consideration the
propriety of adopting the provisions of the Rural Police
Bill for those
divistons. of the county. After consider-
able discussion, it was agreed to appoint one superinten-
dent and ten constables for the Castle Ward, and one
superintendent and twelve constables for the east ward,
the superior officers to be mounted. Some conversation
took place relative to a chief constable, but as only a
portion. or the county is to havp the benefit of the
police, it teas con.idered not necessary to have a chief
constable at present.
