started off to sea, in the hope of encountering the
same adventures, and landing upon the same
as the immortal Crusoe ? The reading of Defe,e's
masterpiece is an epoch in every boy's life— unl.ess,
indeed, it be such a boy as Fielding's Bin_ ; and
one of the chief reasons why we like old Dr. Blair,
whose lectures are otherwise sad common-place, is,
that he speaks of the pranks of this famous voyager
in the most heart-felt terms of praise. The. two
first parts of a monthly sixpenny republication of
Robinson Crusoe are now lying before us ; aiod are
got up with so much elegance, and embilished with
so many suitable engravings, that we feel quite sa-
tisfied that the speculation will be—as it deoerves
to be—a successful one.

PICTORIAL SHAKSPERE. Part XJI.
C. Knight, London, 1839.

The present number of the completest ediLion cf
Shakspere's works that was ever published, comtains
the comedy of the " Taming of the Shrew," which
is illustrated by a profusion of woodcuts executed in
the best style ; together with explanatory notes,
which clear up the difficulties that are occasionally
to be met with in the text ; and a brief and neatly-
written introduction. Mr. C. Knight richly merits
all the success that he has met with in this bold
experiment ; for he hasgrudged neither time, labour,
nor expense to make the edition as perfect as was
possible.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

PROMENADE CONCERTS.

These concerts, which deservedly attracted such
crowds last season, commenced anew last evening with
Signor Negri as conductor, and Mr. Willy leader,
and with nearly the same band. The house since
then has been greatly improved ; the light,
too, appears to be better, and what with
these advantages. and full pit, boxes, and gallery, the
re-opening commenced under the most favourable
auspices. " God save the Queen" was performed with
excellent effect. The first overture was Faust, as per-
formed under the direction of Spohr, at the Norwich
Festival, but it went off rather heavily. The
quadrille "Le Napolitain" however, by Musard,
and performed for the first time, made ample amends.
The Siege of Corinth, by Rossini, and a Fantasia on
the trumpet, performed by Mr. Harper, were also emi-
nently successful, and elicited much applause. But the
most successful piece of the evening was Les Gondoliers
Venetiens, in which some of the performers occasion-
ally joined with their voices and produced a good effect,
This quadrille was loudly encored. Altogether the
performances went off well, and seemed to give great
satisfaction to a respectable audience, and certainly
the most numerous we have seen at any of these con-
certs.

strange interpretation of the 42d clause of the New

to publicans and their customers. The latter

By W. H. MAXWELL, Esq.,
Author of " Stories of Waterloo," " Wild Sports of the West,"

spirit-stirring and picturesque description, and in the power
of representing a m►ghty conflict, there is scarcely any mili-

THE INTERIOR.

" A new despatch from Basle, of the 7th, gives the
following details :—' In the insurrection of yesterday the
people took by assault the Arsenal and the Town-hall of
Zurich. A Councillor of State was killed by a soldier
whilst attempting to harangue the people. The Govern-
ment has been overthrown, and a Provisional Government
named. The peasants are flocking to Zurich, and the Diet
is calling up troops.'"
Both the Moniteur, Parisien, and the Journal
des Debats, contain detailed accounts of the origin
of this insurrectionary movement, but they are in
all respects similar to the statement which ap-
peared in The Sun of yesterday. The contests of
the Radicals and Apostolicals in Switzerland, will
have no influence whatever beyond the bounds of
the Republic.
( From the French Papers.)
The Moniteur publishes several reports of Rear- Ad-
miral Leblanc, Commander-in. Chief of the French
blockading squadron before Buenos Ayres, giving an
account of various operations of the naval forces
under his orders. One of them contains the report
of the proceedings of Lieutenant La Tocnaic's expe-
dition to the Arroyo d'Atayala, where,' as _our
readers already know, he set fire, on the 9th of May, to 21
vessels anchored in that river. On the 9th-of June another
expedition of the same kind was directed by Lieutenant
Fabre, of the schooner La Forte, into the river Sauce,

UNION FLINT.GLASS COMPANY.
To be Incorporated by Act of Parliament.
C A PI TA L 30,0001.
In 9,009 Shares of Si. each. I)epsit 11. per Share.
The erection of the works of this Company having been com-
menced, the Directors adopt this mode of apprising Hotel anti
Tavern-kerpem, Licensed Victuallers, and consumers of Flint-
glass in general, in London and its environs, that they have ap-
portioned a certain number of Shares exclusively to them ; and
therefore, in order to secure the advantages to be derived, it is
desirable that, an early application be made. The holders of one
or more Shares will have any quantity of glass supplied full 15
per cent. cheaper than it can be purchased from a retailer or
hawker; besides which, they will receive an annual dividend
upon the amount of their capital invested of more than fifteen
per cent.
The manufacture of Flint Glass has hitherto been carried on
in London only to a very limited extent, the supply being prin-
t eipally from the North of England. This Company is formed
not only to give consumerS a cheaper article, but •-_o encourage
the productien of Glass in the immediate neighbourhood of its
emistletiption ; and as all the materials required for its manufac-
ture can be obtained at lower prices in the London Market,
this (combined with the immense saving of package, freight,
breakage, Esc. &c, when brought from the North), will much
more than compensate for the extra price of coals and labour;
it is therefore evident that this most important article can be
produced cheaper to consumers on the spot, than when brought
from so great a distance.
The site of ground selected for the Manufactory is most eli-
gibly situate, being immediately on the banks of the river Lea,
at Bromley, near Bow, and has been obtained upon very advan-
tageous terms to the Company.
In every department of this undertaking, the strictest atten-
tion will be paid to economy, so that the shareholders may de-
pend upon receiving the full benefit of the capital invested.
Applications for the remaining shares to be made at the
bankers, Messrs. Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co. ; Messrs.
Wire and Child, solicitors, 9, St. Swithins-lane, or at the Com-
pany's Office, 117, Bishopsgate-street Within.

[We published in The Sun, on August 27, a letter

slavery in the Texas. As this is a very important ques-
tion, whether considered in relation to our commerce
with that newly-founded Republic, or in relation to

letter, in reply to Mr. O'Connell, with interest. Mr.
Kennedy is a well-known man of letters, and as he has

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AYRES.— We have
been favoured by a c mmercial house in this city with the
following important intelligence, contained in a letter datcd
" Monte Video, July 6, 1539.
" Our last advices from I3uenos Ayres give the follow-
ing information, and the report seems to be generally be-
lieved. On the 27th ultimo, supposed at the instiffaton
of Rosas, a mob entered the Senate Chamber, whilst the
House was in Session, and put to death the President in
his chair; shot his son, a Colonel in the army, and se-
veral others; and about 200 persons bad been arrested and
thrown into prison. The cause of these proceedings is
said to have been an attempt prematurely discovered to
upset the present Administration."

THE MONTHLY LAW MA GA ZINE.

There is not a single article in this number which
can, by any possibility interest any, save members
of the legal profession. We were about to except a
tirade against the Government, under the popular
title " House of Commons," but in looking into it,
we were prevented by its excessive dullness. It is
replete, however, with legal information, and de-
serves a place in every lawyer's library.

THE FREEMASON'S QUARTERLY RE.

VIEW

There is one article in this Number which will
not fail to attract the attention of the curious. It
is entitled " Female Freemasons," and is embel-
lished with a portrait of a very demure looking
sister of the craft, the Hon. Mrs. Aldwo►th. We
are strangers to the mysteries of masonry,
and therefore knew not before casting our
eves over this article that there is nothing
in the constitution of the Masonic body, to prevent
the fair tex participating in all its secrets. Now,

if this be so we are for the admission of the ladies
by all means. That they cannot keep secrets, is
one of those exploded libels upon the sex, which
the veriest woman-hater would be ashamed to utter.
In fact, if secrecy be a virtue, women possess it in
fifty times greater perfection than men. Most of
the other articles in this periodical, are devoted to
subjects connected with the Masonic body, and
therefore, though clever and ‘vell written, are of
little interest, save to the initiated. We except
the " Vampire" and the " Rosicrucian," which
belong to the German school of tales of terror and
mystery. Altogether, the Freemasons' Quarterly
Review is conducted with much ability, discretion,
and great good humour.

GRAND ROWING MATCH.

The Great Oars Wager between Coombes and Phelps and
Pocock and Doubledee came off splendidly yesterday after-
noon. The distance was nearly six miles, namely, from West-
minster to Putney. Five o'clock had been appointed for the
hour of starting, and as that hour drew near, the Leander and
several club cutters came out from the different causeways. At
a quarter-past five the men neared Westminster-bridge, on
which was a large concourse oT speators to witness the start.
Pocock and his partner won the choice of station, and went to
the centre pier. On the signal being given they went off like
lightning. Pocock and Double lee had the start, anti after the
first dozan strokes were half a length ahead, but they were des-
tined not to hold this long. As they neared the Horseferry
their opponents came abreast of them, and disputed the claim
to the lead in a style never surpassed. The combatants strained
every nerve. It was too fierce a conflict to last long, and,
amidst cheers from boats' crews and the hundreds assembled
on shore, Coombes and his partner, after rowing , oar and oar
with their opponents for some minutes, passed them off Chand-
ler's, and went up the point a length ahead. Pocock and his
partner, as long as nature would hold out, tried their utmost
to overhaul them, but without effect, and Coombes and Phelps
arrived at Putney-bridge thirty-seven seconds in advance. Mr.
Bishop, of the Leander Club, was umpire.

OPIUM TRADE WITH CHINA.

PETITION TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL:
To the Right Honourable the Lords of her Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council.
The humble prayer of the undersigned British Mer-
chants, resident at Calcutta, in the East Indies,
Showetb,—l. That your petitioners have been en-
gaged, or otherwise interested iu the opium trade
between Calcutta and China, and that the British Go-
vernment of Bengal are the sole producers of opium for
that trade throughout its dependencies, and have for
years been the parties most deeply interested in encou-
raging it. That the opium trade, although always
known to be prohibited by the Chinese Government,
was eagerly sought after by the Chinese people, and
has been fostered -into its recent magnitude by every
means that ingenuity could devise on the part of the
British Government of India, who are the sole
producers and the manufacturers of Bebar and
Benares opium, who have consulted on every oc-
casion the wants and wishes of Chinese consumers, who
afforded compensation when the opium, on reaching
China, was found by the Chinese to be inferior to the
standard guaranteed by the State, and who even on
occasions made direct consignments to agents in China,
that they might practically learn whether consignments
packed in new forms would be acceptable to the peo-
ple of that empire. In one case the opium was not
approved, and did not sell for the amount expected,
which led to a draught being drawn for a balance on
the East India Company, which draught was duly ho-
noured and paid.

2. The extent to which the trade bad been carried
on will he understood from the undermentioned ex-
tract from the Custom-house books of Calcutta, where
the proportion of opiUm shipped to China direct, and
that sent to all other places whatever, is separately
specified.

THE METROPOLITAN.

" Italy, by an Exile," is one of the best articles
in the " Metropolitan" for October, and yet it is
strangely desultory and rambling for such a subject.
The writer wants force, and the power of condens-
ing and defining within some fixed limits views
just in themselves, and well worthy of being ren-
dered familiar to the people of this country. If we
must have declamation, let us have plenty of au-
thenticated facts to enable us to estimate it at its
proper value. The continuation of the " Pil-
grimage from Fontainbleau to Scotland," is
spirited, but we are rarely able to remember the
connection of a fragment of a present with that of
a bygone story, and therefore cannot speak of it as
a whole. " Delaval O'Dorney" is not at all to
our taste. Besides, the world is drugged with sen-
timental twaddle about the remorse of grey-haired
seducers, and the certainty with which repentance
dodges the heels of sin. The " Trip to Killar-
ney" is amusing, and abounds in really humor-
ous anecdotes. We never before heard of the
Poet O'Kelly, and we never had greater cause to
lament our obscurity, if we merely restrict our ad-
miration of the immortal bard's abilities to his own
modest estimate of them :
'Mould take al Byron and a Scott, I tell ye,
With Pope and Moore, to male the:Bard U' Kelly
" Othello" from the German of Hauff is a very
interesting tale, with the rare merit of being exceed.
ingly probable. The notices of new books are not
numerous this month, but they arc more carefully
written than usual.

ADEL PHI.

Mr. Yates commenced his campaign for the winter
season last evening, with the popular drama of the
Kentuckian, which re-introduced to us two old fa-
vourites from " t'other side the pond"—Mr. Hackett
and Mr. T. D. Rice. Mr. Hackett was the
Nimrod Wildfire, a rich specimen of Kentuck
from Far West, half horse half alligator, with a touch
of the arthquake, and a sprinkling of the steam-
boat, who only dances to music of three hundred horse
power, and likes every thing after the thunder and
lightning order. But Mr. Hackett is more than
a mere delineator of national peculiarities, he
is a genuine comic actor of a high order ; and
as the Americans have robbed us of so many of
our sterling actors, we hope they will spare us Mr.
Hackett for at least the remainder of the season.
He was exceedingly well received. Rice, as the Nig-
gur Ciesar, was himself, and that is saying every thing.
He did not jump Jim Crow, but instead, sung two
new songs, and a duett with Miss E. ilonner, who is
engaged at this Theatre, and is likely to prove an acqui;-
salon. He likewise gave some Niggur readings of Shak-
speare, which were admirable, and some imitations of
Kean, quite as good as those of poor Jack Reeve.
A new mclodramc, entitled Mount St. Bernard,
followed the plot_ of which tuins upon the
endeavours of Count Philip de Maurepas (Mr. Lyon)
to deprive Alice (Miss Allison) the orphan daughter
of the Duke de Brisac, who is under the guardian-
ship of Tlbault, a goldsmith, (Cullingford) of her
estates, to which, in the event of her death he is
the heir. He murders Tibault—manages
is to. get
Theodore (J. F. Saville), the husband of Alice, con-
demned as the murderer ; who, however, rescued by
the peasants. After running through the usual
routine of melodramatic adventure, he dies on
the plateau of Mount St. Bernard, having previously
restored the title-deeds of the property to Alice and
Theodore. The sceaery of this piece is really most
magnificent. There is a view of the cathedral and
grand square at Grenoble, by Pitt, which is very splendid;
hut the gem of the piece is the Plateau of the
Great St. Bernard, by Telbin. It is of greater
extent than anything hitherto attempted at this
theatre ; and, as a work of art, is deserving
of the highest commendation. We congratulate Mr.
Yates for having secured the services of Telbin—he
will one day be what Stanfield is. We cannot conclude
without noticing the acting of Mr. Wright, as Dirk
Schuyler, it was a rich piece of humour. The piece was
given out for repetition every evening, with very slight
opposition. Monsieur Morbleu closed the evening's
entertainments, Hackett sustaining the character of the
Frenchman.

THE NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE.

In the spirit and ability of some of the things in
this repertory of all kinds of sporting intelligence,
we think we recognise an old friend with a new and
fresher face. But what we mainly admire in this " New
Sporting" vehicle, is its wide range. On almost every
subject interesting to the fly-fisher, the racing man,
and the lover of field sports, there is something that
combines the utite and the duke. And the imagination,
too, is carried from Broxbourn, in Hertfordshire, to
Calcutta, in India. Apropos to Broxbourn, we may
mention that a gleam of this piscatorial paradise is
afforded to us by a highly-finished engraving of the
well-known " Want's Inn. Another plate puts
us in possession of a beautiful landscape, in which

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.
Our hale, hearty old friend is this month full of
the spirit which animated those well-informed pages
that years ago earned for his publication so high a
character in the sporting world, and made him
" first favourite" with all the more knowing and
judicious of the betting and the batting men, the
rowing and the racing genus, as well as the fishing
and the shooting population. The present Num-
ber is really a capital one, and proceeds, as
one of Hooke's heroes would say, " straight

HAYMARKET.

The attraction here last night was the revival of the
Merchant of Venice, in which Macready played Shy-
lock. How far he succeeded in this character, new to
him, we believe, we are not disposed dogmatically to
determine. His reading of Shakspeare's Sky/ock was
not only new, but very unlike Kean's. Some persons
will think Macready suffers in comparison with Edmund
Kean, while many will think that the former's adherence
to the text of his author is closer, if the performance be
not quite so striking. Be this as it may. the applause
was very warm on the retirement of Shylock, and at
the conclusion of the play a general call was made for
Mr. Macready, but he had already left the theatre.
Portia was well performed by Miss Faucit, especially in
the trial scene. The part, however, was one in which

HANOVER, SErr. 23.—The King is expected to-day
or to-morrow from his journey, but will soon set out
on a more extensive tour. In the interval it is intended
to return an answer to the citizens respecting their re-
peated petitions for the re-instalment of M. Rubman.
The Queen is not yet recovered from the indisposition
under which she has so long suffered.
COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 2 valuable cargoes of
the two American ships, the John Marshal, and the
Orinoco, lately wrecked off Skagen, are to be sold by
auction at the end of this month, and the beginning of
October. On the 9th of next month, the real pro-
perty of the Asiatic Company, consisting of warehouses,
dockyards, dwelling-houses, workshops, &c., valued at
150,000 Sollars'are to be sold.
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 17.—The Swanka Mincrva
mentions a report in circulation, which, to many persons,
appears absurd, that a treaty has been concluded be-
tween Russia, Sweden, and England, by which, in caw
of a war, Sweden and Norway are, by agreement with
the two other contracting parties, to be neuter, and it
is conjectured that Prussia will accede to this treaty.
HANOVER, SEPT. 17.—The Corporations, it must
be confessed, are placed in a very unpleasant situation
by the decision of the Diet, if it is not followed by the
dissolution of the present Assembly of the Estates, and
the convocation of a new one. If they elect, they only
assist in their own defeat ; if they do not elect, the
Government will have the Constitution settled with the
present AssemblyZconsisting of thirty-eight members,
and will proclaim it, while the Corporations can do no-
thing but continue to protest, Perhaps, however, some
better means than mere protests may be found, because
the Diet by no means obliges the Corporations to give
np their rights, but only seeks to facilitate an actual and
substantial arrangement.
HAMBURG, SEPT. 27.—A letter from Carsruhe, in
the Leipsic Allgemeine Zcilung says—" We learn from
pretty good authority that, in the autumn of 1840, there
will a grand review of the whole of the Bth corps of the
army. and Heelbronn is spoken of as the central point
of evolutions to be executed."
It seems that the construction of a new federal
fortress in the Upper Rhine is likely to be seriously
proceeded with.
We learn from the intimate friends of Prince Puckler
Muskau that he certainly intends to sell his fine
estate in Lausatia, and had entered into negociations
with several rich individuals. With the proceeds he
thought to purchase the possessions of the late Lady
Esther Stanhope in Syria, and there establish a princi-
pality according to his own ideas. The heirs of Lady
Stanhope, however, are said not to be inclined to sell
the land left to them ; and Prince Puckler will there-
fore keep his estate of Muskau.--Hamburi; Papers,

Now when they heard this question argued, as it had always
been in that House and beyond it, almost exclusively on the
grounds of diminished demand for British manufactures, surely
those who subscribed to that argument in the abstract would
think seriously of the result, before they proceeded to impoverish
a market which annually consumed no less than ten millions of
their manufactures, or ratlicr more than one-tenth of her entire
exports to all pasrts of the world. And as Ireland, before her
participation in the protection of the Corn-laws, was too poor
