BRIGHTON.-TUESW.Y

Their Majesties drove out this afternoon.
The Landgravine and the Duchess of Gloucester took
a carriage airing this morning at twelve o'clock.
Princess Augusta, accompanied by Lady Falkland, took
a carriage drive this morning at a quarter past twelve

o'clock.
His Majesty gave audience to Sir James Cockburn.
The Royal dinner party, yesterday evening, was increased
by the presence of Lord and Lady Sheffield, Viscount and
Viscountess Gage, Earl of Chichester, Captain Pelham,
Sir John Shelley, Sir George Shiffner, Baron Gersdorff,
and Mr. Sdrgeant D'Oyley. After dinner the company
walked into the music room. Her Majesty's private band
performed several favourite pieces of music. Balfe's " Vive
le Roi" was encored.

Yesterday evening our Madrigal' Society received the
commands of their Majesties to sing several of the most
favourite madrigals in the_presence of their Majesties and
the Court, and we are pleased to state that the most flat-
tering success attended their efforts, having been encored
iq not less than three madigrals, viz.:—" Welcome, sweet
pleasure"—" All creatures now"—and " My mistress is as
fair as fine." They also sang Bishop's exquisite glee,
Sleep, gentle lady," which was greatly admired. It is no
mean praise to state that at the close of each madrigal and
glee, they received the congratulations of Sir Andrew Bar-
nard, and her Majesty's private band.

INSOLVENT COURT.-TUESDAY.

IN THE HATTER OF WM. H. MORRIS.
In this case the question was, 'whether the insolvent had
a good claim to be heard, having been a bankrupt in 1834,
and uncertificated. He was opposed on the part of a Mr.
Cates, a bill discounter. The insolvent had been a mattress
manufacturer, in Rathbone-place, Oxford-street, and was a
bankrupt in 1834, when Mr. Cates proved a debt. The
petitioner had since renewed it by bills, and had contracted
a fresh debt with him on bills. He had likewise renewed
other debts. The case was adjourned nine die, for the in-
solvent to obtain the consent of three-fourths of his creditors.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
William Lanibden, aged thirty-two, was indicted for
stealing a gelding of the value of 901., the property of Ro-
bert Sherman.

During the time occupied in adducing evidence, the pri
soner was suddenly seized with a severe hysterical fit, whic
lasted for several minutes.

The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence, and
he was tbund guilty.
Mr. Sherman begged to recommend the prisoner to
mercy, believing that this was the first offence he had com-
mitted, and that he was dupe of some other person.
The RECORDER observed that the law rendered it impe-
rative on him to pass the sentence of transportation for life.
In consequence of there being no more business to go on
with, the Court rose at half-past four o'clock.

IV CO uRT.
.Tamesyyan, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a live pig
value Bs., the property of John Cooper.
The prosecutor, an unsophisticated rustic, stated that he
went to Blackheath fair, in October last, to sell a drove of
Towards the close of the day, while his back was
turned, some mischievous person unfastened the pen, and
the pigs got out and run up all manner of lanes. After a
long chase, he succeeded in. capturing all but a suck-
ling, which, as if it had the fear of Christmas before
its eyes, evaded the pursuit. About a fortnight ago
witness found the runaway-pig at Greenwich, in the pos-
session of a man named Claridge, who had bought it of the
prisoner the day after it was lost.

The CouRT--Can you swear to the pig? Witness—
Eez, to be ziiure. He have a black nob and tail, and' is
body be whoite.—(Laughter.)
The COURT—Are not other pigs marked like this one ?
The witness here held up the pig by the ears, saying,
" Here he be, let 'un speak for his zel."—(Laut,hter.
The four-legged witness, though one of what Erskine
termed " the mute creation," made the Court resound with
its cries.

The Prosecutor—You see he knows I, and I knows
be.—(Laughter.)
Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—The pig had got fatter
and bigger, -but it was the same, and witness would have
sworn to it if he had seen it at York.
A witness named Ford stated that he saw the prisoner
" the day after the fair," going about with the pig asking
who had lost it.
The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal.
The COURT—You are very lucky, prisoner.
Mr. POANE—Yes, you have saved your bacon. Don't
take care cf any'one's pig again.

THE PICKWICK CLUB. No. VI.

Another of Boz 's amusing periodical sketches, re-
plete with incident, narrated in that broad, humorous
manner which has already procured him such deserved
popularity. The details of Mr. Leo Hunter's Fancy
Dress Party are irresistibly rich in drollery—quite as
good as Tom Hood's account of the Cockney's coun-
try picnic, in his admirable novel of Wanstcad Hall.
Boz has also some amusing hits at the pompous self-
conceit of provincial editors—a fruitful theme for sa-
tire—though by far the best portions of his sketches
are those which tend immediately to develope the
harmless peculiarities of the fat cit, Mr. Pickwick.
Sam Weller is also an ably sustained sketch, a lit-
tle trespassing, perhaps, on charicature, but with
nature for its ground-work. It gives us pleasure to
learn that these Numbers increase, rather than diminish,
in attraction.

THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE..
Longman and Co

The present Number contains five original articles,
of which the subjects arc—The Principles of Design :
Barry's Design for the New Houses of Parliament ;
The Principles of Construction of Arches, Piers, and
Buttresses ; The Investigation of Perspective, and
The Construction of the Roof of the Town Hall of
Birmingham. They are all written by distinguished
lovers of architectural science.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday Benjamin Burnett was brought up for re-
examination, charged with stealing three boudoir tables, of
the value of 151, from the shop of Air. Knapp, upholder,
of Lower Grosvenor-street.—Committed.

A young man of rather gentlemanly appearance, whose
name appeared to be John Flood, applied to Mr. CONANT
far advice. Previous to making his application, he pulled
from out of his pocket a large bundle of letters, some of
which were from Members of Parliament, and a few from
he Members of the present Administration. He said he
had two grave and serious charges to.make against persons
for a combination and conspiracy—that he was heir to
large possessions in the county of Tipperary, but was kept
out of them, and that persons had conspired together to
rob him of his life. If his Worship would read his state-
ment (at the same time throwing a written paper to Mr.
Conant), he would see who were the parties who had con-
trived to rob him.

Mr. CONANT, after looking at the paper, informed the
applicant that his only course to pursue was to go and in-
dict them at the Old Bailey.
Applicant—l charge Lord Morpeth and Mr. Don with
being part!es to this conspiracy, for when I was down with
Lord INlorpeth at the House of Commons, and talking to
him, he•suffered persons to insult me.
Mr. CONANT—What was you doing at the House of
Commons ? Applicant—l went there to defend my con-
stitutional rights and my liberty, and while waiting for those
Members who were to support my petition to be reinstated
in my lands, I was insulted.

111 r. CONANT, seeing tae unfortunate state of mind under
which the unfortunate person was labouring, informed him
that he should be protected, and after some difficulty he
was persuaded to leave the office.

NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE.

Contains two well-executed engravings, one, a por-
trait of Lord Southampton ; and the other, of the
well-known horse Cyprian. The literary contents
come recommended to us by the communications of
Nimrod, descriptive of his late northern and French
Sporting Tours. On some more leisure day, we may
be tempted to give extracts from these piquant papers.

NAVAL HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN.
A vast deal of information on naval matters is here
compressed into the smallest possible compass. The
present Number has, by way of frontispiece, a por-
trait of Lord Collingwood, whose Memoirs we read
the other day with such delight. The work is under
the superintendence of Captain Brenton, who appears
to have entered on it, quite in a con amore spirit.

two tolerable wood-cuts.

THE NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT 0
SCOTLAND. No. XI.
Blackwood and Sons.

We are glad to learn that the General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland has set so high a value upon
this work as earnestly to recommend the Ministers of
the several parishes throughout the kingdom, whose
reports have not been received by the publishers, to
prepare and forward them without delay. This re-
commendation will of course meet with prompt atten-
tion, from a body of men whose zeal in promoting the
temporal and eternal welfare of their country has never
been exceeded. The present Number contains a
description of the greater parts of the counties of Banff
and Lanark, with the usual embellishment—an excel-
lent map.

THE NAUTICAL MAGAZINE.
Shull/tin and Marshall.
In addition to several very interesting articles on
mnrine afrairt3, this iVra:-.Taz4ic contains a monthly Na-
vat Chronicle of considerable importance to the ship-
ping interest. It is generally very well conducted.

was most abundantly stocked with game and deer. After
the glorieuses journees the game was wholly exterminated,
and the venison sold in Fontainebleau as low as twopence-
halfpenny per pound. This act of Vandalism, which was
probably at that period of popular frenzy approved of by
the inhabitants, seems now to be appreciated by them as it
should be. There is a scarcity-of game in the town. The
intention of Louis Phillippe is said to be to re-people the
forest ; and as Napoleon had stocked it with a quantity of
deer, his successors may perhaps venture the same step with-
out exciting displeasure, the grand honinze being now a la
mode. _ _

But I must conclude, my landlady having just invaded
my apartment to remind me of a game at " picquet," by
which I have promised to end with her another day, devoted
to searching after what she contemptuously calls des anti-
quailles. Something- herself of an antiquaille, my ci-devant
handsome hostess at this moment tells me by her looks that
which Madame Deshoulieres laments in her elegant lines :
" Etres inanimes, rebuts de la nature,
Ah I que vous faites d'envieux ;
Le temps, loin de vous faire injure,
Ne vous rend que plus precieux I
On cberche avec ardeur une medaile antique;
D'un buste, d'un tableau le temps hausse le prix ;
Le voyageur s'arrete a voir l'affreux debris
D'un cirque, d'un tombeau, d'un temple magnifique
Et pour notre vieillesse on n'a que du mepris."

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. Pittman.

Two engravings of more than average merit embel-
lish the September Number of the " Sporting Maga-
zine." The first of a Setter, by Scott, from a paint-
ing by Turner, is by far the best. To sportsmen this
Number will prove very interesting, as the articles all
relate to the amusements of the season, spiced with
quaint scraps from old books, and some good anecdotes.

THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRICUL

TURE.
Blackwood and Sons.

The biographical memoir of the late Sir John Sin-.
clair, Bart., commenced in a former Number, is con-
tinued in this. It is well and interestingly written,
and will go a great way towards placing the character
of that great and good man in its true light. Time
world has yet to learn how much is due to his me-
mory. The article on the present condition of the
Australian Colonies, by Mr. Mackillop, of Hobart:
Town, ought to be attentively perused by all emigrantS
desirous of settling in that part of the world. "On
the claims of the landed interest to Legislative protec-
tion," is an able argumentative review of a work
on the subject from the pen of Mr. Blacker, of
Armagh. The writer on the " Application of Steam
to the Purposes of Husbandry," has a fourth article in
this Number quite as striking as any that preceded it.
The conductors of the " Quarterly Journal of Agri-
culture" are not wanting in their duty to the public.
They exercise a very sound discretion in the selection
of the different articles, and the work throughout
breathes a philanthropic spirit, as creditable to their
judgment as to their feelings and habits.

NEW PRISON.

Therein are contained 233 males, 73 females, and eight
chil !rea, generally healthy and orderly ; but there is a daily
increase of commitments for the next. Session.
The Coura consented that a notice sent to the attorney
of a prosecutor (in one of the many gaming-horse prose-
cutions), or its being posted in the office of the Clerk or
the Peace, should be deemed good service.
The Court then adjourned.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday, among the persons summoned before the
Magistrates at this Office, for the pasment of Poor-Rate,
by the parish authorities at Bow, As the Rcv. Doctor
Burnaby, the Rector of St. Dunstan's-in-the-East. The
rate claimed arises out of tithes levied in that parish by
the Rev. defendant, and the present is not the first by
several times that the parish officers have had to summons
him before the Magistrates for their amount. In the first
place, he disputed his liability to pay poor rates at all on
his tithes ; and, on its being closely established that he had
a right to pay, he allowed a distress warrant to be issued,
and his goods distrained on. Since then he has also ob-
jected to the rate ; and, on his name being called on yes-
terday, it was stated that he was in the country, but that
his curate, the Rev. Mr. James, who was in attendance,
and who withdrew before the case was called on for hear-
ing, would pay the amount claimed—namely, 2/. 75., on
the Collector's calling on him.

land, never appeared on the boards of any theatre. Before
we make up our final opinion on Mr. Forrest, we shall require
to see him in one of Shakspeare's characters. Let him try
Othello. Here, if we mistake not, he will show himself infe-
rior only to Kean, for there is nothing subtle, or re-
fined, or metaphysical in the Moor's nature ; it is through-
out a broad, direct appeal to one of the most intelligible
and common-place passions of our nature, such as
Mr. Forrest is every way calculated to excel in. Let
him essay this character then, and within a week or
two, and we promise him an unequivocal triumph. By the
bye, we are somewhat curious to know whether he ever
played Spartacus at New Orleans. If so, it must have
been a dangerous experiment, for Mrs. Trollope tells us
there are thousands of slaves in that district, inflammable
as touch-wood, and panting for an opportunity to rise in ge-
neral insurrection. Spartacus is just the play to set such
spirits in a blaze. Of the remaining actors we have left
ourselves little room to speak. Bartley, with his glittering
helmet and Roman toga made a droll warrior ; though he
gave one passage—

" in these vile, rotten times,
We raise our rogues to honours,"

with a heartfelt sincerity that elicited general applause.
Cooper was an admirable Phasarius. We never saw this
judicious actor to greater advantage. As for Ward and
the women, what little they had to do, they did well. On
the whole the play was well acted ; but we must protest
against the copious display of blood with which Cooper
and Forrest had crimsoned their countenances. It
was in exquisitely bad taste ; and had not the house
been singularly indulgent would have been visited with
condign displeasure. We must also enter our most se-
rious protest against Mr. Forrest's exuberant death-rattle.
Why could he not allow us to imagine that he was
dying, withsut telling us so in such plain terms ? At
the fall of the curtain he was called for amidst
waving of hats in the pit, of handkercisiefs in the boxes,
and, in short, such a tempest of approbation as we have not
witnessed for years. And it was no packed audience that
gave this applause ; the verdict was evidently impartial.
The play was received with less approbation ; and bad it
been supported by any other actor than Forrest, would
scarcely have outlived the night. But we would not
advise the author to be discouraged in consequence. He
is no ordinary dramatist, and possesses no faults but such
as practice can remedy. Let him try his hand again there-
fore, and, above all things, study condensation. Spartacus
is sadly too long, and, in consequence, flags repeatedly.

ADELPHI.

A new piece, called in the bills an historical drama, by
Mr. Yates in giving it out for repetition a burletta, but
which is really a blending of comedy, melodrama, and
spectacle, was produced last night at this theatre, and with
most decided success. It is entitled Sir Roger de Coverly,
the Old English Gentleman. Sir Roger has his friend
Addison on a visit with him down in Worcestershire, where
his nephew, Henry de Coverly, and his ward, Helen, are
staying at the same time. Will Wimble is also paying one
of his usual visits, and the party are in daily expectation of
Augustus de Coverly, another nephew of Sir Roger,
whom his uncle, having great expectations from the advan-
tages to be derived from travelling, fondly hcpes to find a
finished gentleman. He proves, however, a most ineffable
puppy, despises everything English, attempts to seduce his
uncle's ward, and, an atrocity still greater in the eyes of
Sir Roger, meditates the demolition of the family mansion,
and its conversion into an Italian villa. In the mean-

time Henry de Coverly is deeply enamoured of, and makes
honourable proposals to, Helen, which she, though tenderly
attached to him, rejects, lest her marriage should displease
her guardian and protector, who, notwithstanding the
kindliness of his disposition, is still too much prejudiced
by notions of family distinction to an alliance between
his nephew and a foundling, for such poor Helen unfortu-
nately is. Sir Roger discovers their affection, and is very
wroth, but the noble part taken by Helen reconciles him to
her. Not, however, to the extent of sanctioning the mar-
riage, but of still continuing his patronage, and, in the hope
of checking this (in his mind) ill-suited passion, he begs
of the Spectator to take charge of and convey her to Lon-
don. Helen, having consented to a last meeting with her
lover in a neighbouring abbey, overhears a plot of certain
gipsies to rob, and perhaps murder, her patron, Sir Roger.
The gipsies discover her, and she is about to be made a sa-
crifice to secrecy, but heroically escapes, and arrives in time
to save Sir Roger, who then consents to her union with his
nephew. It eventually turns out that Helen is the daughter
of Addison, stolen by gipsies in her early infancy. Mrs.
Yates played Helen very effectively ; 0. Smith, as the
Spectator, had not much to do ; but his impressive man-
ner rendered a feeble part prominent. Our old friend Sir
Roger had an admirable representative in Cullenford, and
John Reeve, as :White Moll (a drunken gipsy), kept the
house in a continual roar.

are liberal ; and judging from the present aspect of the newspaper
world, and the increased competition that is now, or will be soon
abroad in the Provinces, as well as in the Metropolis, he considers
such a connection as he proposes would be found both in its literary

Q UEEN'S THEATRE.

The stock of merriment provided at this little theatre
was added to considerably last night by the production of
a new piece, called Colonel S---. The story is told in
a few words. Mr. Simple is an old gentleman, who, when
a youth, having married his father's maid-of-all-work, had
a commission purchased for him in the army, and was dis-
inherited. Almost immediately afterwards he proceeded
to France, where he was taken prisoner, but being allowed
to be out upon parole, he established himself in a shop,
and vended snuff, under surveillance, for many yeers.
On his return to England, Mrs. S— caused a met
morial to be forwarded to head-quarters, the result of
which was that Mr. S-- was made a Colonel, not
only without his consent, but to his complete astonish-
ment and dismay. The amusement of the piece turns
on the total unfitness of Colonel S-- for his new
position in society, and the blunders he consequently com-
mits. His honef,t and unsophisticated notions and manners
are brought into broad and laughable contrast with the re-
finements and conventional observances of military life. He
wears his sword on the wrong side ; without intending it
affronts his officers at the mess table ; is challenged.
forced to apologise—is again challenged, and is only saved
from going out by a young lieutenant, who is in love with
his daughter, making the quarrel his own. At last, having
been ordered to encounter some rioters, his courage, like
Bob Acre's, " oozes out of his finger's ends ;" ho confesses
himself a poltroon, and, despite his wife, retires from the
profession with a chuckle over what he has been. Mr,
Loveday, as the Colonel, was particularly successful, Mrs.
Loveday, as his wife, was also entertaining. The piece was
on the whole much applauded.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS I)AY.)

CITY, 7'WELYE O'CLOCK.
Arrivals this morning, French and Hamburgh mails.
We are without ship letters this morning, and no arrival,
with the exception of the express from Paris, which is of
little import, as it does not bring any later intelligence from
the seat of war in Spain than previously received. The
general topic of conversation entirely relates to the non-
payment of the Spanish dividend due on the Ist of Novem-
ber, and there appears to be a general cry out with the
Spanish bond-holders against the terms offered ; it is ex-
pected that a meeting will be called by them on the sub-
ject. It is said that the conditions offered for the payment
of the dividends have not been sent over by M. Mendizabal,
but concocted here by certain parties. It has had a bad
effect, and entirely damped the spirit of speculation in the
Spanish Funds, as well as proving a great disappointment to
the bond-holders.

ENGLISH OPERA-HO USE.

The seriocomic opera of The Freebooters was presented
at this house, for the first time this season, last night. This
opera is sufficiently well known to excuse any general cri-
ticism or remarks upon the music ; it was produced last
night for the purpose of displaying the talents of Mr. Leffler
in the character of Überto de Ardinghelli, the freebooter ;
and Mr. Frazer, in that of Edoardo dei Ligozzi. Both
these gentlemen acquitted themselves in a way that added
to the reputation they had previously acquired. Mr.
Leffler has established his fame by what he has already done
at this theatre, and may fairly he considered as one of the
best artistes of the day in his peculiar department. Mr.
Frazer is less known to the public. He is a tenor singer,
with great scope of voice, considerable judgment, and cor-
rect taste. His reception, and that of Mr. Leffler, and
of Miss Betts, were flattering. The house was filled with
company of a most respectable class ; the "business" is
obviously getting up.; In addition to the names already
mentioned, the caste contained those of Mr. J. Bland, Mrs.
Fitzwilliam, and several other old favourites. At the con-
clusion of the opera, the call for Messrs. Leffler, Frazer,
and Miss Betts was so loud and so unanimous, that these
persons were obliged to make their appearance and how.
The entertainments of the evening concluded with House
Room, and the Old Oak Tree, in which Wrench, W. Ben-
nett, and Romer, kept up the good humour of the audience
till the fall of the curtain.
