COURT CIRCULAR.

THE LORD MAYOR AND SHERIFFS'

ENTERTAINMENT.

The Queen will hold a Privy Council to morrow after-
noon, at the Palace, in St. James's Park.
The Duke and Duchess of Terceira had audiences yes-
terday of the Queen. Her Majesty was attended by Lady
Barham and the Marquis of Headfort.
The Marquis of Conyngham, Viscount Melbourne, and
Lord Glenelg, had audiences yesterday of her Majesty,
Her Majesty had a dinner party last evening. Among
the company were, Viscount Combermere, Lady Rivers,
Mr. and Lady Theresa Digby, the Lord Steward, the
Lord Chamberlain, Lady Barham, Marquis of Headfort,
Hon. Colonel and Miss Cavendish. The band of the 2d
Regiment of Life Guards attended in an ante-room, and
performed favourite selections during the evening.
Lord Duncannon, from the United Committee ap-
pointed to consider the grievances under which Protestant
Dissenters now labour, with a view to their redress, con-
sisting of Henry Weymouth, Esq. Chairman, Thos. Wil-
son, Esq. Deputy Chairman, J. R. Mills, Esq. Treasurer,
and the Rev. Mr. Blackburn, the Rev. Mr. Burnet, the
Rev. Mr. Tidman, and Josiah Conder and John Wilks,
Esquires, attended by %Ir. Robert Fletcher, their Secre-
tary, had an interview yesterday with Lord John Russell,
at the Home-office, respecting the practical grievances of
the Dissenters.
The Hon. C. Cavendish, M.P. for Sussex, and a Depu-

Glenelg yesterday at the Colonial-office.
The plate of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge was brought to Cambridge House yesterday, from
Hanover.
The Belgian Minister transacted business at the Foreign-
office yesterday.
The Solicitor-General transacted business on Wednesday
at the Home-office.
The Duchess Dowager of Richmond arrived in town on
We inesd ay afternoon.
Despatches from Sir Colin Campbell, Governor of Nova
Scotia,- were received yesterday at the Colonial-office.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs gave their an-
nual banquet in the Guildhall. It is almost unnecessary
to state that her Majesty's gracious visit to the city on the
ever-memorable 9th of November last past, caused the
postponement of the usual feast until yesterday. The de-
corations of the Hall remained nearly as they were on the
9th ; the massive services of gold plate certainly were ab-
sent, but in every other respect the banquet was one of the
most splendid that probably ever was given in the city of
London. At six o'clock the greater part of the visitors
had arrived. Shortly after that hour the sound of the
trumpets intimated that the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, and
the more distinguished guests, :were about to take their
seats at the festive board. Immediately Sir J. Cowan,
Bart., the Lord Mayor ; Sir J. Carroll, and Sir Moses
Montefiore, Sheriffs, in their robes of office, made their ap-
pearance amidst enthusiastic cheering, followed by Lord
Melbourne, Earl Mulgrave, Lord John Russell, Lord
Glenelg-, Lord Hill, the Brazilian, American, and Spanish
Ministers, the Loid Chancellor, His Honour the Vice-
Chancellor, the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Mr. Jus-
tice Patteson, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and several of the
other Judges ; Mr. Spring Rice, Sir Hussey Vivian, Mr.
C. Wood, M.P. ; Mr. R. Stewart, M.P., &c. &c.
After dinner and the Benedictus, the Lord Mayor called
for bumpers, and proposed as a toast "the health of her
Majesty the Queen ;" in doing so his Lordship briefly
alluded to the high honour conferred on the City of Lon-
don by her Majesty's recent ♦isit. The toast was drunk
most enthusiastically.
The LORD MAYOR. then gave " Prosperity to the City
of London," and took occasion to call the attention of the
Company to the gratifying interview which he had at the
Mansion-house, on Wednesday, with a deputation of mer-
chants from the Upper Provinces of the Rhine, in refe-
rence to the revival of the trade in those provinces with
England, which had•been closed upwards of 300 years. It
is needless to observe that the toast was received with loud
plaudits.
" The Navy and Army" was the next toast.
Lord HILL, on the part of the latter, returned thanks ;
and Admiral Sir CHARLES ADAMS acknowledged the ho-
nour done to the Naval service.
The health of the late Lord Mayor was next proposed. It
was warmly received, and acknowledged by Mr. Alderman
Kelly.
The LORD MAYOR then gave " Lord Melbourne and her
Majesty's Ministers." The announcement of the toast was
received with deafening cheers, which lasted for some

minutes.
After silence was proclaimed, Viscount MELBOURNE and
the other Ministers of the Government rose ; the Noble
Lord returned thanks for himself and his colleagues : he
observed that he had so frequently been similarly placed,
that he was at a loss for new terms to acknowledge the
compliment. On the present gratifying occasion he should
say nothing likely to excite political feeling ; he was aware
that there existed a difference of opinion in respect to the
policy of her Majesty's Ministers but he believed that in
the City of London at least, full credit was given to them
for being anxious to carry out the administration of affairs
in a manner which would prove satisfactory to every party
in the State.—(Cheers.) On the present festive occasion
he had the high honour and gratification of being the bearer
of a message from her Majesty, expressive of the great
pleasure that her Majesty felt at meeting in that Hall the
Corporation of the ancient City of London.—(Great
cheering.) The Noble Viscount concluded by proposing
the health of " the Lord Mayor."
His Lordship returned thanks in suitable terms.
" The Foreign Ministers" was the next toast.
Mr. STEVENSON, the American Minister, returned thanks
in a manly speech.
" The Right Hon. Earl Mulgrave and the other Noble
Lords present" was next given.
Earl MULGRAVE returned thanks, admitting, though
comparatively a stranger in the good City of London, he
could bear ample testimony on behalf of that part of the
United Kingdom where he was the representative of her
Majesty, that the most lively feelings of gratitude were en-
tertained in reference to the admirable manner in which
the property in Ireland belonging to several of the City
Corporations was managed—(Loud cheers)—that manage-
ment was attended with the most beneficial results, and he
trusted that the example presented by the Corporations to
which he alluded would soon be more generally follori ed
in Ireland.

toast.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR returned thanks,
and paid a glowing compliment to the liberal principles
which actuated the citizens of London in raising to the
shrievalty a gentleman of the Jewish persuasion.—(Cheers.)
The " Healths of the Sheriffs—Sir J. Carroll and Sir
Moses Montefiore," was then proposed.
Sir J. CARROLL, in a neat speech, for himself returned
thanks.
Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE next addressed the company.
The recent visit of our Most Gracious Queen to this an-
cient hall, the kindness which induced her Majesty to pre-
sent herself at the earliest possible period to her faithful
subjects, must have made a deep impression on every heart,
must have strongly rooted the feelings of loyalty with which
Britons naturally regard their Sovereign, and if he might
judge of others by himself, must have awed all emotions save
those of fervent hope and prayer that the reign of our youth-.
ful Queen might be long and peaceful, and. that her greatest
glories might be connected with the universal education of
her subjects—the diffusion of the most comprehensive
principles of benevolence, charity, and love—principles
which should unite all in a desire to accomplish the proud
wish—" That England may possess and exercise the great
prerogative of teaching other nations how to live." What
had been said was a proof, in his opinion, that England
is fairly on her way to the full completion of the wish ;
for did not recent events demonstrate, and will they
not demonstrate far beyond the precincts of the City of
London, that the purest freedom and the warmest attach-
ment to religion may•co-exist, and can only safely co-exist
with the forms of monarchy and with feelings of affection to
the Sovereign, especially when the Sovereign evinces the
dispositions which all recognise in our amiable, our youth-
ful, our illustrious Queen. Let, then, other countries boast
of natural advantages ; let our pride be, in our civil advan-
tages, in the security of our persons and property, under a
system of law and Government, which, whatever be its
defects, is at least as near to perfection as any Government
that has anciently existed, or that now exists. But his ob-
ject was to tender his thanks, " warm from thy heart," for
the honour conferred on himself and his colleague. He could
sincerely sav that the kindness of his fellow-citizens was a
full reward for the performance of his duties, and would be
a full inducement to him to devote himself cheerfully to
the service of those who, unasked, had placed him in a si-
tuation of so much trust and honour. He and his colleague
felt satisfied that in the performance of their duties they
should not betray the trust reposed in them, nor tarnish the
honour of the Corporation.—(Cheers.)
The " Health of the Recorder," was next given, and re-
sponded to by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. Several
other toasts were proposed, after which the company sepa-
rated.

In conclusion we cannot help observing, that the atten•
tion paid by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs to the Press pre•
sented a striking contrast to the arrangements of the " En.
tertainment Committee" of the recent banquet.

YELLOW FEVER. AT SIERRA LEONE.—Very
alarming accounts have been received of the prevalence of
the yellow fever, accompanied with the black vomit, at
Sierra Leone. No statement on which reliance can be
placed has come to hand of the number of deaths, but all
assert they were very great. As the friends of those who
have relatives out in this inhospitable climate must feel the
greatest anxiety for the details, as far as they can be ob-
tained with accuracy, relative to the progress of the dis-
order among Europeans, we give the following extract
of a letter received on Saturday. It will be observed
that the crews of her Majesty's vessels of war on the
station have suffered severely. The letter is dated
Sierra Leone, 30th of June :—" Upwards of 40,000 per-
sons are ill with the yellow fever. We are in a state of the
greatest apprehension. The following Europeans have
fallen victims to the malady.—(The deaths of several
persons are here mentioned including Messrs. Crossby and
Patterson, Wesleyan Missionaries.) All the above cases
were attended with black vomit, which was contended to
be fully contagious. The following gentlemen, attached to
the medical department of Sierra Leone, are suffering also
from fever : Mr. Cole, Colonial Secretary (now acting
Governor) ; Mr. Fergusson, surgeon, Royal African
Corps ; Mr. Clark, assistant surgeon at Rimy. Lieut.
Roberts, of her Majesty's brigantine Dolphin, and Mr.
Davis, assistant surgeon, with nine men, have fallen victims.
In the Scout twelve men have died, and the Second Lieu-
tenant was not 'expected to reach the Ascension Islands
alive. The Buzzard has lost ten men, and the assistant
surgeon. Great praise is awarded to Mr. Aitkin, the
assistant surgeon, for the courage and perseverance he has
displayed throughout this tfying period."

But, gentlemen, if I have on former occasions stated what
they have done, I think I may not unappropriately state
to you on the present occasion facts derived from re-
cent occurrences with respect to what they have
not done.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen,
you have probably all of you heard of the glorious exhibition
that took place in the City of London on the 9th of No-
vember, when our young and beauteous Sovereign passed
through the crowded streets of her vast metropolis, to par-
take of the civic hospitalities of the Corporation of London,
amidst the most enthusiastic acclamations of real affection,
acclamations re-echoed from the proudest person among the
hundreds of thousands who were assembled in the streets.
to the 'great and dignified assembly who were collect( d to
meet her at the Guildhall. Gentlemen, let me from the
delightful contemplation of this demonstration of affection-
ate loyalty, which has been re-echoed by your voices, and
I am sure responded to by you all this day—( Hear, hear)
—let me carry you back to the month of November, in
1830, when a similar invitation was sent to the late
Sovereign—to partake of the hospitalities at the Guild-
hall. Let me recal your minds back to the awful pe-
riod when the whole face of the agricultural district
of this countr,•, was the scene of riot, convulsion, and
outrage—and when the state of the metropolis was
such, that the Ministers of that day felt it their duty to ad-
vise their Sovereign not to venture in public through the
streets of his metropolis—not probably from any appre-
hension of any personal injury to himself—but from a fear
of the disturbance which in the discontented and agitated
state of the public mind, such a scene might probably
produce.—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it has been said, I
believe, by a portion of the Tory press—that these accla-
mations of loyal affection towards our young and beauteous
Sovereign, were not in consequence of any benefits she has
as yet had the power of conferring on the country. But I
may be allowed to say, a demonstration of a different kind
which had been apprehended on the accession of William
the Fourth, was not in consequence of any evils, which it
was in his nature or disposition, even if it had been in his
power, to inflict on his subjects.—( Hear, bear.) If ever
there was a Sovereign whose personal character was formed
to conciliate the affections and attachment of a British pebple,
it was that of William the Fourth.—(Hear.) The frank and
manly simplicity of his manner—the cordiality of his ad-
dress—his kind heartedness and good nature, and I may
add,the courage to prove, it was not from his flinching from
the expedition which prevented them attending that day.—
( Hear.) I say, that these were the qualities which as
far as the personal character of the Sovereign was concerned
were calculated to secure for him as Much as any man who
bad sat o❑ the British throne, the pride and affection of his
subjects.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not go into the
causes which at that time induced the Tory rulers to pre-
vent their Sovereign from receiving the honours and the
hospitality of the citizens of London. I will not claim for
the present Ministers those affectionate acclamations of
loyalty and love, which I am perfectly ready to admit were
given not to them, but to her who was the immediate ob-
ject of them—but at least I may claim for them the nega-
tive merit of not having withheld their Sovereign from
receiving those demonstrations from the people.—(Hear,
hear.) I may, I think, claim for them the negative
merit of not having thrown the country into a state of dis-
affection and disturbance which made it dangerous for the
sovereign to appear publicly in the streets of London.—
( Hear.) And when I am asked what has been done by
the Liberal Government for the benefit of the people, and
the country, I leave that—l may let the people of the
country speak for themselves—as the people of the metro-
polis have spoken as to what has not been done by them to
alienate their affections from the person of the Sovereign.
—(llear, hear.) Gentlemen, the time is fast coming when
the people of England will have an opportunity of judging
of the two contending parties; not by words, but by mea-
sures ; not by professions, but by acts ; and I trust that the
reformers whom I see here around me will bear in mind the

(Abridged from the Western Times.)
The Reformers of Witheridge determined on Monday
last to have a celebration, on their own account, of the
glorious principles of Reform. They invited Lord Ebring-
ton ; and their patriotic neighbour, the Hon. Newton Fel-
!owes, consented to take the chair. Owing to the depar-
ture of Lord Ebrington, to fulfil his Parliamentary duties,
it was necessary to fix the earliest possible day. Monday,
therefore, was decided on, and in consequence of the inabi-
lity to give anything like publicity to the event, it was ne-
cessarily confined, where indeed it ought to have been—to
the inhabitants of the district. Active measures were taken
by the Rev. Mr. Benson, the clergyman of the parish,
whose Christian precepts and example are not marred by
any unchristian opposition to the civil liberties of his
parishioners, to promote the object, in which he was very
efficiently seconded by W. Comins, Esq., 'F. Comins,
Esq., T. Benson, Esq., and the other principal inhabi-
tants of the parish. The town was generally decorated
with laurels and evergreens, the bells rang a merry
peal, and the church tower was decorated with triumphal
laurel. In fact on looking up to its tower we could scarcely
believe the evidence of our senses ; it is so unusual for the
clergy to identify themselves with popular principles, that
we found it necessary to rub our eyes once or twice before
we could arrive at the perfect conclusion that it was not an
unreal mockery,
The room was decorated with laurels and flowers. At
the head, on the right, was the word "Ebrington," and on-
the left. " Chichester." Underneath a banner " Ebrington,
and the worthy Fellowes of the division." On the other
side " Queen Victoria, and the people." At the foot of
the room there was " Melbourne," " Russell," and on the
walls, " Fortescue," Sussex," " Kent,"" Palmerston," ac.
The Hon. NEWTON FELLOWES took the chair. R.
COMINS, Esq. acted as Vice-President.
The Rev. PROCTOR THOMAS said grace.
The CHAIRMAN—The first toast I shall offer to you will
require no eulogy from me. I give you ."Fhe Queen"—
(Cheers)—and merely ask you whether you will respond to
the voice of the people, which still re-echoes as it were from
the metropolis—(Great cheering)—or whether you will
allow it to be sent back in reply, that you are indiffereet to
her name, and care not that she is placed on the throne.—
(Hear, hear.) The toast was drank with great cheering,
led off by Mr. Wreford, of Clannaborough.
The CHAIRMAN—The next toast I shall propose is " the
health of the Mother of this good Queen—(Hear, hear,
from Lord Ebrington, and cheers)—the Duchess of Kent."
We ought to feel very grateful to her for the education she
has bestowed on the Queen, and the principles which she
has instilled into her heart. If she had fallen into other
mother's hands, ar.d bad been educated in the same Tory
Court principles, as others of the Guelphs had been, might
we not have felt suspicious that the Queen would not have
displayed the same confiding character, but would have
shown a degree of caution and restraint, not natural to her.
—(Hear, hear.) We have, therefore, through the educa-
tion bestowed by the Duchess of Kent, a full fair presump-
tion given the people, that she will support the same liberal
opinions for the good of the people, which there is now rea-
son to believe she entertains. The toast was drunk with
very great cheering.
The CHAIRMAN—It is common to drink the health of
the Duke of Sussex, associated with the rest of the Royal
Family—l do not feel so disposed to-day, for I am willing
to do the best I can in honour of the 'Noble Duke, who,
praised or unpraised, has always been the same noble
character, has always held the same distinguished position,
as the friend of popular rights.—(Great cheering.) I am,
therefore, willing to make the distinction between which is
due to him, as the strongest advocate of Reform, that has
ever yet existed in the Royal Family. I therefore give
you, with nine times nine, " Tim health of the Duke of
Sussex." The toast was drunk with long continued cheering.
The CHAIRMAN—I now propose to you " The rest of
the Royal Family, now resident in England."—(Great
cheering and clapping of hands.) The Hon. Chairman
having laid considerable emphasis on the latter part of the
tont, had evidently struck a chord, to which the whole
meeting responded.
The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county, which was received by the company
with three times three, and acknowledged by Lord
Ebrington.
The CHAIRMAN—The next toast more nearly concerns
my Noble Friend himself—(Cheers)—whom I took by the
hand many years ago. We were Tory ridden throughout
the county—we were Tory-magistrate ridden.—( Hear,
hear.) Every office was possessed, pre•possessed by the
Tories, and we really could not get. fair justice done us in
the county, politically or otherwise, from want of a repre-
sentative. The county was concentrated in Exeter, or.
nearly so—(Bear, hear)—whether it reached so far as Cre-
diton I cannot say.—( A. voice, " No, it did not go so far.")
It was comprised within a circle of three miles in circum-
ference, with the Cathedral for a centre—the closest of all
close boroughs—where they returned two Members for
their own purposes in the name of the county.—[Mr. W.
Wreford—" the Borough of Devonshire."] The Borough
of Devonshire. Under these circumstances we called in
the aid of my Noble Friend to fight the battle for us.
He has ever been the friend of the people, and shall we
not, now that he is here our guest, prove, at least our sense
of the gratitude we feel by the manner in which we shall
drink his health.—(Cheers.) I trust that not what we have
seen at Southmolton, not the glorious demonstration at
Barnstaple, not the manifestation at Bideford, not the
outburst of spirit that we have seen throughout the county,
will make us sure of success when we go to war—( Hear,
hear)—for nothing can be so dangerous to a cause as secu-
rity, which is the general forerunner of reverses. There-
fore it is that the battle is not to the strong, but to the
weak—for the strong are too apt to repose upon their
strength, till surprised by a watchful adversary, they disco-
ver too late, the error they have committed.—(Hear, hear.)
Therefore, I say, let us recollect in gratitude what we owe
him; and by the memory of his vigilance, recover, as we can
do, our lost ground.—(Great cheering.)
Lord EBRINGTON, on rising to acknowledge the toast,
was received v-ith an overpouring burst of applause. Gen-
tlemen, I do indeed feel more than ordinary gratification at
the opportunity which is thus afforded me of expressing
my gratitude and my admiration of this place, and of those
belonging to this place and district, for the part which they
have borne, as was said by my Hon. Friend in his remarks
on the Duke of Sussex, through change unchanged, in
storm as in sunshine—the part which they have borne in
fighting the battles of civil and religious liberty, and in ad-
vocating the cause of Constitutional Reform.—( Hear.)
Gentlemen, my Hon. Friend has alluded in some detail,
and in terms I must say far too flattering to me—(No, no)
—to those ungained struggles ; and that period was, I see,
also alluded to somewhat querulously by Sir Thomas Ac-
land in a speech lately made at a Conservative party at
Crediton. My Hon. Friend (Sir T. Acland) recalled to
their minds " the halcyon days," when, said he, you deli-
berately selected your representative, and having selected
him you left him uninterrupted in the-possession of his seat,
and in the enjoyment of your confidence. Gentlemen, I
know not to what auditory that speech was addressed,
but as my Honourable Friend said, it could not have
been an auditory of the growth of the soil of Cre-
diton.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," from Mr. I. Davy.)
It must have been, I am sure, a very select auditory indeed,
if it was confined to those who, in the halcyon days to which
my lion. Friends alludes, had any share in the representae
tion of the county.—(Hear, hear.) In those days, as my
Hon. Friend truly said, the choice of a representative was
confined to the county, assembled in the Justice-room at
Exeter, or, at most, occasionally extended to the members
of a Grand Jury.—( Mr. W. Wreford—" Very true.") But
the freeholders of the county had no more to do with the
election of their representative than they now have in the
choice of the Members for Middlesex.—(Cheers.) Gentle-
men, and who were the parties by whom the choice was
made? They were gentlemen the opponents of any equa-
lization of the county rates. They were gentlemen in op-
position to the discussion of the county business in open
Courts—they were those who encouraged the most lavish
expenditure of those rates—and in their general politics
they were those who spoke of those reforms which arc
now become familiar to us all—(Hear, hear)—and more
particularly of the very name of Parliamentary Reform,
with a degree of horror, with which now some people speak
of the attempt to resist the levy of compulsory church-rates.
—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, we have on variouthccasions
been asked by those individuals, or by their admirers and
adherents, the advocates of Tory opinions, what the country
has gained from a Liberal Ministry, aial a Reformed Par-
liament. I have on former occasions, and at a very recent
time, had occasion to revert more into detail than I shall
do now, to some of what I consider the advantages which
the Liberal Ministry, through a Reformed Parliament, has
given to the country. The repeal of eight millions of
taxes, the Tithe Commutation Bill, the Municipal Bill,
the Marriage and Registration Bill, the Reduction of Stamp
Duty on Newspapers—are not in my opinion any very
slight and trifling boons to have been obtained in the course
of seven years of a Reformed Parliament.—(liear, hear.)

difficulties which the friends of reform arc likely to have to
contend with in the straggle which is about to take place
in Parliament. Of the final issue Of that struggle I have
no doubt, because I believe that truth and justice will in this
country always in the end prevail—(Cheers)--provided the
advocates of truth and justice niil be prudent and patient,
as well as firm and united.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, from the
acts which have been carried under the present Govern-
ment—from the still more beneficial acts which would have
been carried, if they had had in the Upper House the
great strength which they had in the Lower—l can feel no
doubt as to wina are their intentions and wishes; and I
trust that you on your parts will do your best to second
those intentions, by every possible and orderly, but firm
demonstration of your opinions out of doors, as well as
giving them that confidence, as to times and seasons of
bringing forward measures, which is essential to ail public
men in responsible situations.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I
will trespass no further on your attention. I beg leave to
drink all your healths ; and in so doing, I shall take the
liberty of proposing the health of my worthy friend—pretty
well known amo.ig, the friends of Reform in this and all
other parts of England—( Hear, hear)—but no where bet-
ter known, esteemed, and regarded than in this place.
Among the :nuttos which the walls supply, there is one
which I will now give you as a toast" Our worthy Chair-
man, and all the gcod Fellows of the Northern Division."
The On AIRMAN returned thanks.

Several other toasts were given, and acknowledged in
eloquent speeches, which we regret our space will not allow
us to notice.

Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased
to appoint Messrs. Floris, of No. 88, Jermyn-street, St.
James's, her comb-makers in ordinary.
THE OPERA BUFF A.—The first performance this
season of the Opera Butz took place last night at the
Lyceum. The opera was the Elisir d'ilmore, so often
played last year. Catone repeated the part of Ncmorino,
in which he received so flattering a reception. He was
warmly greeted on this occasion, and his former admirers
waited with much interest to judge of the expected improve-
ment in his voice and style. He sang very sweetly, and he
received, in the well-known opera, substantial marks of the
good-will of his old friends. M. Bellini, also renewed his
acquaintance with the public in Belcore. He is a hearty,
rough, good singer, inclined to roar a little and rant a great
deal. He would produce more effect if he strained less
after it. We recommend him to moderate his overplus of
zeal. Signor Frederick Lablache, the son of the immortal
Lablache, made his first appearance in Duicamara. He
was received with acclamations, from love to his father's
name, and, we hope, for the promise he affords of hereafter
sustaining it. His voice is good, his musical education has
evidently been taken care of, and lie would be thought much
of if his talents were not every instant brought into com-
parison, from the name he bears, with the greatest singer of
the day. The house was well filled. The following dis-
tinguished company were present :—Their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, the Dukes of Wel-
lington and Argyll, the Count D'Orsay, Countess of Poulet,
Countess of Aldborough, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset,
Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Lowther, Lord and Lady
d'Eresbv, Lady Conroy, Dowager Lady Cooper,
Lady Honeywood, Duchess of Canizzaro, Countess of Tan-
kerville, Mrs. Maberly, Hon. Robert Smith, Sir Henry
Webb, Lyne Stephens, Esq.,
Mrs. Alfred Shaw has been most successful with
her engagements at York, Hull, Manchester, Newcastle,
Exeter, Salisbury, &c., where she has been singing to
crowded rooms. She leaves London next month, to fulfil
engagements in Edinburgh.

BENTLEYS MISCELLANY FOR NOVEMBER.—
An excellent number, full of interest, and abundant
in
fun. " Oliver Twist" is continued, and, as it proceeds, in-
creases in attraction. One charm that every portraiture of
"Boz" posseves is its exact adherence to nature. His sketches
are in every way perfect, as the description of the old Jew and
his associates in the present chapter prove. Poor Oliver is
still in difficulties, and the sympathy of every reader must be
warmly excited for him. The sketch, by Cruikshank, is ex-
cellent. In fact George and Boz seem as if they were
created for each other—who can depict actual life like Boz—
who can illustrate it like George ? " The Confessions of art
elderly Gentleman"—" The Portrait Gallery"—" Nights at.
Sea "—The " Chapter on Widows," &c., are the produc-
tions of superior intellects. While such contributions are
continued in the Miscellany its extensive circulation can-
not fail to increase. " Adventures in Paris, the five floors"
is written with a spirit and power that induce us to look
eagerly for its continuation. There are a variety of other
articles no less worthy of our commendation. if we could
quarrel with any portion of the management of tlrc Miscel-
lany, our - turn-up " would be with Master Boa in person,
for his brevity in the monthly chapters of " Oliver Twist,"
which compels us at times to doubt the justice of the adage
that " brevity is the soul of wit."—Dablin Packet.
