-FOR THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR-,—Sir HAREOURT LEES persists in
thinking that I Lave attributed, or endeavoured
to attribute, the insurrection in Ireland to the
scarcity of potatoes.—l have done no such thing.
--I have attributed-the'disfress of the Irish pea..
santry to the scarcity of.pOtatoes',,and to the ina-
bility of the Irish poor to obtain any other food,
—I have, on information derived at first from
your paper, and since 'Confiimed. -by intelligence
entitled to credit,- from various quarterS, pointed
out
.that there is• danger even of famine in some
districts of Ireland ;—and Sir.ll.lacouwr LEES
has failed to convince me that I have either been
mistaken as to matter of fact, or that I have
acted wrong in appealing on such an occasion
.to
the benevolence of the public.
It matters not that potatoes may be bought in
Ireland at 2d. or 3d. per stone.—Men may be
hired in the same country at 4d. per day !—Pota-
toes may be bought in London at less than 40s.
per cwt., which is not quite 3d. per stone of
14 lb.—if the price of labour in London, as well
as in Ireland, were 4d. per day, it would require
no great length of argument to prove that the
metropolis was overwhelmed with misery.

TROTTING MATCH.

The Match for 260 guineas between Messrs. Nadtiison and
Boulsworth, to trot three miles,' and to carry ten stone-eacii,-
was decided early yesterday morning on the Staines' react.—
Betting was six to tour on Mr. Aladdison ; and even" that the
winner did not do the grOund in eleven minutes. The cavalcade
was thin, a secrecy having been observed, to keep the horeAs
from breaking into. a gallop from noise. Mr. Maddison's broke
at half a mile, while leading by three lengths, but he 'cainc up
with Nir. Houldsworth's mare at the two-miles stone, having
broke into a gallop also. A severe race followedi neck and
neck, until within a hundred yards of home, when the little ti e
mare had left in her-was exerted, and she won by three lengti,s,
in.l 1 minutes and 48 seconds. It is thought that the exertion
in the horse to catch the mare, after breaking, lost the match:

from his distinguisifedlalent§ and eloquence, may
almost be considered -artheleader of their party.
The experience now bought at so • great an ex-
pence of zeal; activity; and influence, clearly in-,
dicates, that notwithstanding the
,strenOf pos-
,sessed by this party, among the lawyers, the
cause of the -Whigs not popular in the Uni-
versity, nor are:the Members of a learned and
-enlightened body, to be biassed, in the least
degree, .by the same plausible reasoning as
the inconsiderate crowds which compose a
popular assembly. To Mr. Scarlett and his
political pretensions we now bid adieu, and leave
him, in the true spirit of Whig consistency, again
to take his seat as the representative of a close
borough, in that House of Commons where he
professes-to ,be the strenuous advOcate of Parlia-
mentary Reform.--In conclusion we have to
express our gratification at the good temper and
gentlemanly conduct which has so universally
prevailed in carrying on this conflicting contest ;
nor must we omit to observe, that notwithstand-
ing the diversity of feeling and interest which,
mint naturally exist, in so numerous a body, we
are perfectly confident that general harmony now
prevails, and that in .time perfect satisfaction will
attend the issue of this,election.

It appears by an article from Berlin, that
among the modifications made by the Divan to
the Russian Ultimatum, it is proposed that the
Turkish troops shall remain in Moldavia
and Walachia until tranquillity shall be re-
stored- throughout the whole of the Ottoman
dominions. If this be correct, we see little
chance of a speedy adjustment of the differences
between Russia and the Porte. In the mean
time; the Russian armies, under WITTG ENST EIN,
YERNIOLOFF, and. SACK EN, have passed the
Dniester; and the Guards•under OuNV Alt OFF are
marching towards the Pruth. The Turks, on
their side; appear to be seriously preparing for

SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.

Yesterday the adjourned Sessions for" commenced
before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Common Serjeant,
Aldermen J. J. Smith and Wood.

John Gezry was tried on a charge of having stolen a qua-
drant, the property of John Allen, on the 15th of December last.
The prisoner is a sailor, and lodged at a lodging-house in
Blue Anchor-lane, from whence it appeared, under the pres-
sure of want, he stole a quadrant from the room of a fellow-
lodger, and pledged it for a small amount.
The Court—Well, prisoner, what have you to say in your
defence to this case ?

Prisoner—What have I to say ? Why, that it is a d--d
awkward piece of business, which you must settle amongst you.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, when the Court sen-
tenced him to be imprisoned for one month.
Prisoner—Your Honour. I wish you'd do me the favour to
withdraw your sentence, and send me across the seas. I should
be very much obliged to you. .
The COMMON' SERJE4NT—The Court is not in the habit of
withdrawing its sentence. '
Prisoner—l'd much rather, if it's all the same to you, be
transported for my natural life, than be kept in limbo here for
a month.

The COMMON SERJEANT—The Court is not in the habit
of consulting the convenience or inclination of prisoners in such
cases.—Gaoler, take him away.
The prisoner was then taken away in high dudgeon, at the
unaccommodating disposition of the Court.

A dinner was given on Friday, in the Ward of
Walbrook, to present a cup to Mr. Alderman
ATKINS. Nye lament to say that Mr. -HALES, a
Common Cduncilmau of this Ward, died 'on Sun-
day. Mr. Itynu and Mr. T. N. Wt wAms have
started, and both were canvassing the Electors
yesterday.
It.ctiEsTEn. GAOL.—In the early part of last
week information was forwarded to town, by Mr.
HAttnr, (the present Governor of this prison,)
complaining`of the conduct of Hum', and re-
questing an order for his closer confinement. The
Magistrates of the county of Somerset also con-
curred in the necessity of the measure ; and ac-
cordingly the required order was made absolute
by Mr. Justice REST, and immediately forwarded
to Ilchester.—(Morning P(Ter.)
CORONER'S NQuEsT.—On Saturday an Inquest
was held at the King's Head Inn, Richmond,
Surrey, before CHARLES JEIIIIIIITT, Esq. Coroner,
on the body of Mr. WHYTE, who came from
town, and had been living there for three or four
days. It appeared that this unfortunate young
man had been in a desponding way, and had pro-
cured small quantities of laudanum at the shops
of several different chemists, thereby deceiving
them as to his intention of the application of it,
and the fatal effects were not produced without
severe suffering ; after a full and minute investi-
gation of all the° circumstances, the Jury pro-
nounced a Verdict of—" Insanity."
London, England, 1822-11-11

[IOIINING POST.]

On Saturday an unexampled panic took place
in the City, in consequence of the arrival of
several expresses from France, with- the quota-
tion of the Rentes at 89. 50. and of Spanish
Stock at 57. Letters from Paris, dated on
Thursday last, were also brought by these chan-
nels, stating, " that the Congress had broken up
by a Declaration being submitted by the Allied
Powers for the signature of the Duke of Wel-
lington, by which Spain would be required to
adopt the French Constitution in lieu of that now
existing ; that, in the event of the refusal of the
Government of Spain to acquiesce in the demands
made ,by this Declaration, the French troops,
collected on the frontiers of Spain, should imme-
diately enter the kingdom, and, by force of arms,
second the wishes of the Congress ; and that the
Duke of Wellington, without hesitation, pro-
tested strongly against the adoption of any such
measure, and observed that, as regarded the
British nation, he had received instructions from
his Government to say that it had determined
not to interfere with the internal state of Spain,
and that whatever steps might be taken by the
Holy Alliance, this country would act a neutral
part." Although the depression in the 'English
Funds was very great, yet in foreign stock, at
least as far as regards the new Spanish bonds, it
amounted to mere than twice as much, produced
by the same causes.
London, England, 1822-11-11

[MORNING HERALD.]

The panic terror, which seized the holders of
Foreign Stock on Saturday, has excited some
apprehension for the peace of Europe. The
rumours, however, which were stated as the
cause of this panic, seem to be undeserving of
much credit. Whilst there are so many other
circumstances which may influence the money
market momentarily ; when it is so liable to false
alarms artfully -excited, and easily founded upon
the proceedings of a Congress, which is occupied
upon interests of such importance, it is much more
rational to conclude that the panic is groundless,
than that the Congress is determined to let loose
the furies of war once more upon Europe. It is
absurd to suppose that a demand upon the Spa.
niards to change their internal form of Govern-
ment, their political institutions,could end other-
wise than in war—if the demand were pressed.
No nation would or could submit to it
without the sacrifice of its independence and
*honour ; and Spain, as far as we can judge,
is not the nation tamely to make that sacrifice.
If there were any truth in the rumours
respecting France, one should conclude that
the Government of-that country had resolved to
take the initiative in invading Spain. Has France
been invested with the same authority for the
" pacification" of Spain, which Austria exercised
in Italy ? This is incredible ;—yet it is the only
reasonable supposition upon which one could
credit the rumours of her being in the very act
of making a descent upon Spain, at the present
moment.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have for some time been silent on the sub-
ject of Mr. Bowring's persecution, from the infor-
mation wd received that our Foreign Secretary
had been making every possible exertion in his
behalf. it would appear, however, that the re-
presentations of Sir C. Stewart pass for little
more than waste paper at Paris. Mr. Bowring

has now been a month a prisoner, without any
acte d'accusation ; and there really does not seem
any assignable limit to this arbitrary conduct—
The circumstance of having no charge against
him, appears only to render his persecutors
the more inveterate and vindictive. The Ultras
get rid of the Ambassador's representations, by
the allegation that the Tribunals have taken
the affair up. The answer has hitherto sufficed;
but we can see no limit to the persecution
which may be practised in this way. 'The sixth
interrogatoire, and the last, as they pretend,
had reference to the Books of Mr. Blaquiere.—
We wonder they do not questicfn him on the
sabject of the writings of Tom Paine or Carlile.
On their principle any subject may afford matter
for interrogatories. The poor prisoner has been
almost harrassed to death with their endless ques-
tionings. No mental torture can be conceived
more complete. _

LORD lIUNTTNGTOWER V. GARDINER:

This was an action on the Bribery. Act, 2 Geo. 11. c. 24, to
recover penalties against the defendant, for receiving a bribe
for his vote at the last General Election for the Borough of
Ilchester.—At the trial before Mr. Justice ,Bayley, at the last
Somersetahire Assizes, the plaintiff had a verdict.
Mr. ADAM now moved to enter a nonsuit, on the ground,
that the money received by the defendant was after the election
was over, and consequently that, the case did not come within
the Statute.—The Cowl' granted a Rule Nisi.

The new monument to the memory of the late
Mr. Fox, erected on the North side of West-
minster Abbey, has been within these few days
opened to the public view, as has the old monu-
ments of Queen ELIZABETH, and MARY, Queen
of SCOTS, which have lately undergone a thorough
repair, and have been newly beautified.

IRELAND.

On last Tuesday, the second day of the Com-!
mission of Oyer and Terminer at the Sessions-
house in Green-street, seven persons were tried
and convicted as members of the treasonable As-
sociation of Itibbonmen. All of them were sen-
tenced to be transported. It appears by the'
evidence, given on the trials, that there are
seventy-live lodges or clubs, of the Association ,
of ltibbonmen in the city of Dublin, and that the'
members have been in constant communication,
with similar Societies in every part of Ireland.,
—The object of the Association is to overturn
the Government--to effect a political separa-
tion of Ireland from England—to destroy the
Protestant religion, and to re-establish the
Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. It appears
that each of the lodges is limited, by one of the
regulations of the Association, to forty members,
and that all the conspirators are persons of the
lowest and meanest class of the people. Their
deliberations constantly turned on certain pro-
phecies, which were supposed to predict the
downfall of Protestantism in the year 1825.—

committed by the defendant, who stood for trial at last Lan-
caster Assizes ; but the indictment had been received by cer-
tiorari into this Court,
Mr. 1311OUGHAM now Moved for a rule to shew cause why
the writ of certiorari .should not be quashed, and a procedendo
issue ; and why persons of the names of Murray, Atkins, and
Sewell, should not pay the defendant his costs incurred at the
last Assizes, and the costs of this application, and also why they
should not answer the matters of the affidavits.
The Court granted the defendant a rule to spew cause why

curred by the defendant at the Assizes, and also the costs of

[BRIT4SII PRESS.]

Great agitation prevailed on Saturday in the
market for Foreign Securities, and extended itself
in a very remarkable manner to the English Funds.
Foreign Securities had been on the decline the
w hole week ; but Spanish Stock particularly, which
on Friday suffered a depression of full two per
cent. in addition to its previous fall. The market
for the bonds of 1821 opened on Saturday at 66,
with no appearances to indicate a giving way ; but
several expresses having arrived from Paris to the
different capitalists and speculators, with intelli-
gence of a very great depression in all Foreign
Securities there, the persons receiving them imme-
diately proceeded to the Royal Exchange, and
offered to sell Spanish Stock so extensively, that the
market was paralysed, and, under the inflnence of
the first terror, a buyer at any price could scarcely
be found. Some idea may be formed of the situa-
tion of the buyer, by the fact that not less than
nine expresses were received, all to houses of the
first class, and prepared to act promptly and ex-
tensively on their information. The number of
expresses, in fact, frustrated the object for which
they were individually sent ; for before the sales
could be made, the Stock had reached a point at
which, under any circumstance, a sale would
have been impolitic. The fall in Spanish Bonds
of 1821, under the first impulse of alarm, was to
601, near 6 per cent.; and we understand some
bargains were even effected below that price.—
Though an impression on the Spanish Funds
seems to have been the chief object of the specu-
lators, the panic spread to every other descrip-
tion of Foreign, Stock, even to the Securities of
countries' farthest removed from those difficulties
with which Spain,as is indicated by the low price
that Stock bears, is surrounded. The new Russian
Scrip fell near 4 per cent. and a similar effect
took place in the Scrip of the last Prussian Loan.
The same happened also in Neapolitan Stock.;
even at the close of business o Saturday the
alarm was far from being dispelled, and the re-
action which might have been expected after so
sudden a fall was but trifling, not exceeding from
one to .two per cent.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH--(Tilts Day.)

JUDGMENT.--This morning, in the Court of
King's Bench, William Anderson, who had
pleaded guilty on two indictments for unlaw-
fully defrauding the inhabitants in the Hamlet
of Mile End, Old Town, in his capacity of Sur-
veyor of the highways in that district, by know-
ingly omitting to insert several different sums ofl
money in his accounts, appeared on the floor of
the Court for judgment.—Mr. Justice BAYLEY,
after addressing the defendant at some length,
passed the following sentence, viz. on the first
indictment, that the defendant pay a fine of 3001.
to the King, and be imprisoned four calendar
months in the House of Correction ; and for the
second, a further imprisonment of two calendar
months.

pected—called.for such a stntence as would deter others from
following his example.
The Couux directed that the defendant should attend again
to-morrow (this day) to receive judgment, .and intimated that,
in the mean time, they would consider the case fully.
'l'he defendant, a person of very respectable appearance,_
was greatly affected during the whole of the proceedings.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 26.

IN RE THOMAS CtAltltE, ISAACSON, AND BIIOOKES.

The Court was occupied during the greater part of the day
in hearing the affidavits of Clarke, Isaacson, and Brookes,
against the rule which had been otained for striking. the two
former off the rolls of this Court, on account of having per.
mitted the latter to practice in their names at different periods.
Mr. Serjeant Pell was heard on their behalf, and Mr. Serjeant
Vaughan addressed the Court for some time sn support of the

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
As it will be oxpected from us to give an ac-
count of au unhappy affair of this nature •‘,,'ich
ha'; occurred on the bounds of this county and of
the county Kilkenny (we believe at a piace
called Kilcooly Grange) near Johnstown—we
lay before our readers the following extract of a
letter which we received yesterday :
" Krilknaule, Nov. 19, 1822.
" SIR-I beg leave to report to you, that it itad been agreed
to fight a duel at Boulick, near New Birmingham, on Sunday
the 10th instant, between Mr. John Shaw, attorney, of Kille-
naule, and Mr. Win. Cooke, of Pointstown, in the :lan!, vici-
nage ; but, by au order from Captain Wilson, Chief Magi-
strate, the parties were pursued and put to the route by a de-
tachment of Police from Killenaule, under the direction of Mr.
Morgan, Chief Constable, who followed them about 30 mil;:>s.
" On die day following Mr. Morgan received information
that the parties were to meet at the Church of Frennor, near the
bounds of the counties of Tipperary. and Kilkenny, early next
morning; but he and the Police having arrived at the appointed
place before day-light appeared, the duellists were obliged to
change their-ground again, and proceeded to Ballynure, where
they were a third time prevented from fighting by the Police,
who kept a good look-out after them.
" Here the business rested for awhile, one of the parties hav-
ing gone upon professional business to Dublin ; but it being un-
derstood that on Monday the 18th inst. they were to fight atAb-
beyleix, in the Queen's County, through the exertions of Lord
De Vesci, they were bound over to keep the peace, when the
aforesaid parties proceeded to the hounds of the counties of
Tipperary and Kilkenny on the said Monday the 18th November
instant, where they fought, and Mr. Shaw, I regret to inform
you, receive a ball in his right temple, where it remains : Mr.
Shaw is not yet dead, but no hopes are entertained of his re-
covery, though attended by surgeons Hemphill, Going, Ryan,
and Kelly."
The above letter from our obliging correspondent does not in-
form us who were the seconds on this unfortunate occasion ; but
we understand Mr. John Miller was the second of Mr. Shaw,
and Mr. N. Maher that of Mr. Cooke.—( Clown(' Advertiser.)
At noon yesterday (Tuesday) Mr. Shaw,: who had been
brought home to Killenaule the preceding day in a carriage,
was still living, though the ball is said to have perforated the
brain.—(klent.)

INDIA.

We have received Madras Papers to the end of
February. The following are extracts:—
11-Rom THE MADRAS COURIER OF 25TH FEB.I
" Letters have been received from Penang to the end of Ja-
nuary, which report very unfavourably of the Markets to the
eastward, which are stated to be gloomy in the extreme. A
dreadful fire has taken place at Sincapoie, at which settlement,
as well as Molucca; there was a great scarcity of rice, in con-
sequence of the Seamen war in 'that neighbourhood, which in-
tercepted the 'supplies to that market. There was a scarcity
also of the same article at Batavia, resulting from a failure of
the crops throughout Java."
[FROM SAME PAPER OF FEB. 24.1
" Private letters from Nagpore inform us that the expecte-
, tigps occasioned by the predatory and hostile movements of
Joze Secundu had been disappointed. A well-timed remon-
strance from the Political Agent prevented the further progress
of this Chieftain, who had vaunted that his force consisted of
six battalions and sixty guns, with which he intended to extir
pate the Rajah of Tarhae."
[FROM SAME PAPER OF FEB. 20.1

." We are informed, by recent accounts from Sincapore, that
the value of merchandise, exported and imported on junks,
prows, &c. amounted, in the space of 18 months, (from the Ist
May, 1820, to 31st October,.lB2l,) to nearly three millions of
Spanish dollars, and that the valueof the imports and exports
by square rigged vessels was estimated at two millions, making
an aggregate amount of five millions of Spanish dollars during
the above period. This is a proof of the rapidly increasing
prosperity of the interesting settlement of Sincapore."

The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 10th ult. con-
tains the following proclamation :
" The gentlemen residing in the garrison, who have acted
on formes occasions with so much zeal as inspectors of districts
during the summer months, have again offered their services,
and the vacancies arising from the absence of others have been
readily filled up by individuals actuated by the same desire for
the public good. The Governor is fully sensible how much is
due to them for their strenuous exertions in having contributed
so materially towards the preservation of the public health ;
and with a view to the prevention of disease, he earnestly re-
commends a continuance of that strict attention to thorough
ventilation and cleanliness, as being objects of the first import.

ante.
" The-Governor feels assured that the inhabitants of all de- •
scriptions'will immediately and cheerfully comply with what-
ever suggestions and directions the inspectors and medical gen-
tlemen attached to the districts may point out, which, coupled
with the advantages to be derived from that excellent establish-
ment the Civil Hospital, afford a competent hope, that any
disease, whether contagious or otherwise, will be speedily
checked, and its extension avoided.
" The appearance of the plague at AlgierS having been offi-
cially reported, the Governoi has adopted the necessary precau-
tions, and he trusts that by the active exertions and vigilance of
all classes, its introduction to the garrison will be effectually

prevented.
" Surgeon Barker will continue to superintend the sick poor
(out-patients) in the town, and will be assisted by the Medical
Officers mentioned in the return, who are quartered at the
south end of the civil hospital,
" MT. Amiel will superintend the sick poor (out-patients) in
the south, and is quartered at the Naval Hospital.

MA DRI D, JULY 18.—(PrivateCorrespondeace
Senor Calatrava has refused to accept the Minis
try of the Interior, which was offered him after
the dismissal of Sr. Moscoso. General Lopez
Bagnos has in the same manner refused the Mi-
nistry of War. Ile has written to h►is Majesty
saying, that he will make any persor'►al sacrifice
rather than become one of the Ministry—that he
should consider himself more serviceable to his'
country if employed in combating the factious than
at the head of political affairs ; in short, he adds
that if the King will not comply with his wishes, he
is resolved on quitting the army altogether. This
then is the present composition of our Ministry :
Senor Garetti has charge of the Ministries of Jus-
tice and Foreign Affairs ; S. Clemencin those of
the Interior and Colonies ; Senor Scerra Patubley
those of Finance and War; and Senor Romarate
that of the Marine.—As to Senor Martinez de la
Rosa, he - has remained constantly at home, and
persists in rejecting the propositions made to
him by the King. The chief cause of this re-
fusal is said to be owing to the conduct observed
towards him and the other Ministers during the
night of the Gth, when they were shut up in the
palace-and not allowed to go out.

[NEW TIMES.]

The alarm which prevailed on the Stock Ex-
change having now in some measure subsided, it
becomes our duty, plainly and distinctly, to state
the situation in which it has, left public affairs.
Several suppositions have been made, which are
very wide of the truth. The first supposition is,
that the whole alarm was a stockjobbing manceuvre.
This notion is certainly unfounded. Doubtless the
speculators in funded property avail themselves of
every change in political circumstances, and often
invent occurrences to snit their views ; but in the
present instance, at least, they proceeded on a
ground of substantial fact. There was a moment
when the immediate entrance of a French Army
into Spain was fully expected by most well-in-
formed persons in Pariy it was meditated by se-
veral of the French Ministers. We are not prepar-
ed to say that their arguments in favour of the
measure were unsound ; and of its practicability
a man must be totally ignorant of the state of
[ Spain no doubt. Others again, admitting that
the- French Government did lately contemplate
an aired interference 'with' the affairs of Spain,
suppose that the measures has been finally
abandoned ; and that for various reasons, which
are surmised by different individuals. We
have strong grounds to believe that the intention
is far from being wholly abandoned, although
many circumstances concur to render the sus-
pension of the measure advisable. Among
these, the foremost undoubtedly are, the strong
disapprobation of it evinced by the British
Cabinet, and the consequent hesitation of
the other Allied Powers to give it their
sanction. We do not mean to offer any opinion
on a policy which goes directly to support the
cause of Democracy in Spain; but we state the
fact, as affording one strong inducement to the
French Government to pause, and as giving
weight to that party in the French Cabinet which
has all along opposed the plan of an armed inter-
ference.-

THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.-The vigorous old Comedy of
A New Way to Pay Old Debts brought Mr.
KEAN forward, on Saturday last, in Sir Giles
Overreach, one of his most popular characters.
His performance was marked by the spirit,
energy, and decision which appear in his general
mode of acting, and his admirers, who consti-
tuted the major part of a very numerous audi-
ence, paid him the usual tribute of abundant
applause.
COVENT-GARDEN.-The splendid manner in
which the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is re-
presented at this Theatre, in point of scenery,
costume, &c. &c., but more particularly the ad-
mirable acting of the hero and heroine of the
piece, has obviously made a strong impression on
the public. The House was crowded. Miss F. H.
KELLY, animated by the success which attended
her first performance of Juliet, brought her powers
into more forcible and varied action on Saturday.
It is said that this young Lady has received in-
structions from TALMA. If so, we are glad that
she has forgotten, or cast them aside, for nothing,
of his violent emotion and extravagant gesticula-
tion was visible in her manner of supporting the
part of Juliet. On the contrary, she seemed to
be wholly guided by her feelings, and her own
conception of the character, and that conception
was evidently the result of good sense and rellec-
' tion. Her emotion at the first sight of Romeo,
increased by his marked attention, was natural,
and her subsequent playfulness and fondness
with the nurse was easy and interesting. In the
more energetic passages she was impressive with-
out undue violence, and in the dying scene she
displayed the ability of a veteran, and was highly
affecting.—Of the acting of Mr. C. KEMBLE it is
difficult to speak with exaggerated praise. In
every view of the character it would have done
honour to the best days of the British Stage.—
The warm applause of the audience was there-
fore a just tribute to his excellence in point of
judgment and effect. We have already noticed
with due praise the ilicrcutio of JONES. It was
sprightly and characteristic. We ought not to pass
over the merit of MEADOWS in the Apotkecais. It
was chaste and affecting, and we could not but
feel surprize that during the despair of Romeo, the
deplorable misery of the former excited an un-
feeling laugh.—We were sorry to observe that
Mrs. FAUCIT, who is a respectable actress, in-
curred some displeasure in Lady Capulet.
The fact is, that she spoke in so low a tone
that she was not audible beyond the neigh-
bouring boxes. We fear that this is an at-
tempt at the familiar style of Mr. KEAN,
which seems in some degree to operate upon most
of the male and female Performers of the day,
but which, unless it is accompanied by the energy
and sudden transitions peculiar to his manner,
will always be found abortive. Such was the
warmth with which, the tragedy was received on
Saturday, that it was deemed good policy on the
part of the management to follow the blow, and
announce it for to-night.

MISS F. IL KELLY.

A Nobleman distinguished for his taste and attachment to the
belles lettres has presented an elegant and superbly-bound copy_
of JOHNSON and STEEVENS'S SHAKSPEAILE to Miss F. H.
KELLY, the accomplished young actress of Covent-garden
Theatre, in testimony of his admiration of the genius she has
displayed, in embodying one of the most difficult and beauti-
ful conceptions of the Immortal Bard.—( Morning
theatrical annals
of so successful a debut as that of the young Actress of Covent-
Garden, at so tender an age. We ,are credibly informed that
at her first performance she was not fourteen, and at present
she is only seventeen.—( Post. )
It is an interesting and auspicious circumstance in the pro-
fessional career of the young Juliet of Covent-Garden, that
she should have been encouraged to pursue the study of the
dramatic art by Taints.. Four years sinco, in Paris,_where she
had been sent to complete her education, she rehearsed several
scenes of SHAKSPEARE before the French lloseius, who ex-
pressed his estimation of her talents in the most flattering
terms, and confidently promised her future celebrity.—
