}:IiNVGATE.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for the discharge of
George Ellis, who had been committed to Newgate by
the 14th List of Commissioners, for not satisfactorily
answering :questions put to him by the Commissioners,
respecting alleged concealment of the bankrupt's property.
The witness had been a shopman with the bankrupt,who had
carried on the business of a linen-draper ; he had left
that situation two years and a half ago, and entered into
the same line of business for himself ; at the end of twelve
months he became a bankrupt, and subsequently went to
assist his sister in keeping the Eight Bells public house,
at Fulham. Some of the goals of Pemberton had been
sent (including an old horse and cart) to the prisoner,
who had prevaricated very much respecting the nature and
possession of them. The Solicitor-General admitted that
the first examination could not reasonably have been
considered satisfactory, but that on the whole the ultimate
examination ought, and which he submitted to the Court.
Mr. WAKEFIELD was on the same side.
The LORD CHANCELLOR considered, without hearing
Counsel on the other side, it was impossible to suppose that
the prisoner did not know much more about the transac-
tions than he had disclosed. He bad pursued, from be-
gluing to end, a series of falsehoods ; out of which, from
time to time, he had been driven. The Commissioners
had done just.fhat he (the Lord Chancellor) would have
done ; and the prisoner ought to be kept in prison until
he had given more information than he had yet done.
Remanded, with a recommendation to the Commissioners
to give him an opportunity of appearing before them soon
again.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A Mr. AN-
DERSON, from Bath, made his appearance here last night
for the first time as Henry Bertram, in the opera of
Guy Mannering. He met with a favourable reception,
and possesses much skill and sweetness as a singer. An
interlude, entitled Popping the Question, was afterwards
brought out. It was highly successful.
DARNLEY. —Among the many admirable his-
torical portraits which are given in this attractive Ro-
mance, by the Author of " Richelieu," are those of Lady
KATHERINE BULSIER and Lady CONSTANCE DE GREY.
The mild and gentle, yet firm character of the former,
strikingly contrasts with the gay and flippant brilliancy of
the latter. Of the male personages in the story, Sir
CESAR, the astrologer, is not the least remarkable. His
sadden appearance upon the scene—his no less abrupt de-
parture—his mysterious words and actions—his foreknow-
ledge of events—and the secret impulses by which he is
actuated—all of which frequently appear utterly incom-
prehensible—sufficiently indicate him to the reader as one
of those extraordinary beings who at that period exercised
such a remarkable influence upon men's minds, and who
were held in such strange veneration. But, for the means
by which he verified his predictions of the future—by
which he acquired a knowledge of the past--we must refer
to the work itself such of our readers as have not yet gra-
tified their curiosity by its perusal.
MONTROSE SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—We
regret to state, that in the afternoon of Friday last, in
consequence of an unusual assemblage of persons on this
bridge, to witness the spectacle of a boat race, one of the
main chains gave way, at the part where it is fastened to
the north pillar ; it flew off with prodigious force, and in
its fall killed four persons, and injured others.--Edinburgh

the prisons of Oporto and Lisbon, but also to no effect.
