TILE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburg
mails ; and ship letters from Calcutta, 27th Jan. and Feb. 14;
Mauritius, Feb. 23 ; and from Trinidad.

We have Charlestown papers to the 13th of May. They
state that emigration from Ireland to the United States com-
menced unusually early in the present season. One house in
Dublin having a branch at Liverpool, had sent out, between
the 4th of February and 31st of March, 2,100 passengers to
New York, and other parts of the Union.
MART FOR NEGROES.—We understand that a proposition is
before the City Council relative to the establishment of a mart
for the sale of negroes in this city. The north-east corner
of the Exchange, or Custom House, one of the most fre-
quented parts of our city, is certainly rendered quite a nui-
sance, by being made the noisy and offensive theatre for this
kind of traffic.

The New Orleans Price Current has the following com-
mercial remarks :

" The produce of the West is arriving freely, and the re-
moval of it to the stores and the shipping give to the different
parts of the city a business-like aspect; but we:regret to say,
that further than it relates to mere outward appearance, the
business of the place has not improved. The transactions in
produce are a little more extensive. Out-door affairs have
met with some interruption from the frequent showers of rain.
The Mississippi is within sixteen inches of high water mark,
and rising."

IRELAND.

AGITATION on the subject of the Lords' nefarious
amendments continues unabated in vigor. A great meet-
ing was held on Wednesday last in Queen's County, and
the County of Wexford meet to-day (the 18th.)
As far as we have been able to learn, the Irish people
seem to be dissatisfied with any measure on municipal re-
form less than the "whole bill." A letter has been sent to
Sergeant Woulfe by the leading men of the borough of
Cashel, calling on him to insist on the rights of Cashel to
a corporation. Similar letters have been fortVarded to Mr.
S. Crawford, from Dundalk ; to Mr. Brady, from Newry ;
to Lord Acheson (in the absence of, Mr. Dobbin), from
Armagh ; and to Mr. Walker, from Wexford. These are
pretty symptoms—may we not conclude that Mr. Kirk re-
ceived a similar communication from Carrickfergus, as he
abstained from voting on the last division.—Freeman.
LORDLY AIRS.—The Cork (Tory) Herald puts forward
the follbwing foolish story as damning evidence against de-
mocracy :—A Whig Radical Nobleman, who resides
within some distance of Fermoy, was accosted in a street of
that town a few days ago by a Tinker, who inquired of
him What o'clock, my Lord ?' His Lordship very po-
litely produced his watch, and told the Tinker the'hour.
The latter, assuminr, a most important air and swagger,
took a ponderous 'kettle' of an old tin-cased watch from his
filthy pocket, and having looked at it, he exclaimed, 'Just
up to you my Lord! ! P His Lordship bit his upper lip,
and glided into the next shop."
HIGHWAY WOMEN !—Monday evening, about nine
o'clock, as a female named Anne Jones, living at No. 18,
Exchange-street, was on her way from Kilmainham into
town, she was stopped near the Foundling Hospital by a
party or gang consisting of seven or eight women, and
scarcely heard the order " stand and deliver" given when
she was knocked down, and after receiving a severe beating,
was robbed of her gown, bonnet, petticoat, and one shilling
in silver. In the course of the same night the police suc-
ceeded in apprehending Bridget Kelly, Ellen Butler, Ellen
Kearns, and Catherine Dempsey, who were yesterday
brought before the magistrates, fully identified by the party
robbed, and committed for trial,—Dublin Evening Mail.

ject, be trusted his Majesty's Ministers would grant some
measure of relief to this distressed class of operatives.

POOR LAWS BILL.

Mr. HA WES had a petition to present which had
been agreed to at a very numerous and respectable
meeting of his constituents, expressing in the strongest terms
'heir dissatisfaction with the working of the Poor Law Bill.
He ne-,:ql hardly say he entertained the highest respect for
the petitioner:, but on this subjct he felt bound to say that
he entirely differeu them. When the Bill of which
the petitioners complaineu, was introduced he (Mr. Hawes)
l,
had been amongst those who gave it a warm and steady
support, and h continued because be saw that it had
worked the greatest possible good,—(Hear, hear, hear.)
He was sorry to see the petitioners in the absence of
information, for he supposed they could not have had
the most accurate information on the subject. Ho was
sorry that, in the absence of such information, the peti-
tioners should have thought it necessary to characterize this
Bill as one which they viewed with horror and disgust. It
also stated that the agricultural labourers were greatly in-
jured by the competition of Irishmen, who came over to
this country. He (Mr. Hawes) believed that the competi•
tion spoken of was rather beneficial than otherwise. On
the whole, he wished to present the petition with the greatest
respect to the parties from whom it came, but to guard
himself from being supposed to agree in its sentiments. He
had also a petition from a literary gentleman, Mr. B. H.
Baker, praying that when the House had the subject of the
British Museum under consideration, care would be taken
to supply a great defect at present existing—the want of a
class catalogue in the institution.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
Mr. HUTT presented five petitions from different places,
praying for a law to enforce the better observance of the

rish in Lanarkshire, against the grant to Maynooth Col-
lege. Also, another petition, praying for the better ob-
servance of the Sabbath.

Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the medical
practitioners of the town of Worcester, praying to be re-
munerated for their attendance at Coroners' Inquests.
London, England, 1836-04-12

THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.
Miss Vandenhoff made her debut last night in the part of
Juliet, in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Her person is
graceful, her figure well formed, her complexion fair, and
her face handsome and expressive. In the more subdued
passages she was most effective ; but in those which re•
quired the display of greater energy the task seemed to be
beyond the powers she at present possesses. IF a guess
might be hazarded from her acting in the scene with the
Nurse, we should be tempted to say that in lighter, and of
course easier parts than that of Juliet, she would be more
likely to attain public favour, at least until more extensive
experience shall have given her greater self-command. The
chief merit, and the greatest promise of her acting, were
displayed in the modest and unassuming manner in which
she acquitted herself. The audience, who were most fa-
vourably disposed towards her, elicered her exertions with
frequent and warm applause, and after the close of the play
insisted upon her re-appearance to receive their congratu-
lations. Mr. Vandenhoff played Mercutio for the first
time. The occasion excused the attempt ; but it is not a
part which is likely to add to his reputation. The other
characters were on the whole ably filled.
London, England, 1836-04-12

WILLIAM.

Sir G. SINCLAIR begged to know whether the
Noble Lord, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, had
reseived any intimation relative to the blowing up of the
statue of King William in Dublin?—(Hear, and much
laughter.) That statue had been long preserved as a me-
mento of the glorious, pious, and immortal memory of that
Monarch.

Lord MORPETH begged to say that he bad received
no official details on the subject.
ORDNANCE ESTIMATES.
Mr. HUME not having been present, by mistake, when
the Ordnance Estimates were passed—(Loud laughter)—
said he should not lose the opportunity, when the Report
was brought up, to take the sense of the House regard-
ing the expenditure in that department. It was in his opi-
nion absolutely necessary that some change should take place.
The House would recollect that a Commission had been ap-
pointed to inquire into the different establishments of the Ord-
nance, in order to effect what military men considered
most important—the amalgamation of the Ordnance and
engineers with the Commander-in-Chief's Department, and
converting the other into a simple Store Department, by
which three hundred thousand pounds a-year would be
saved to the public at large. It was his intention to
have shown the extravagance of the system as it now ex-
isted, and he hoped he would be able to show that it was
money altogether thrown away—a complete waste of the
public money. lie wished to know from the Noble Lord
(Howick) whether that inquiry was still going on, and
whether the House was likely to have any Report on it this
Session ?

Lord HO WICK would answer the latter part of the
Hon. Member's inquiry first. That inquiry was still in
progress. When the Commission of which he (Lord
Howick) had still the honour to be a Member, was first
appointed, it had proceeded to ascertain what had been
previously done, and they had referred to the Commission
which had been previously appointed, of which the Duke
of Richmond was the head.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
The Hon. Member must be aware that during the sitting
of Parliament great difficulties existed in proceed-
ing with inquiries of this description.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
It was, however, the intention of his Majesty's Government
to proceed with this enquiry as soon as possible, and he trusted
that before the conclusion of the session he should be enabled
to lay the report before the House. With reference to the
other point to which the Hon. Member objected—as to
the Ordnance Department, he would not make any obser-
vation, only regretting that the Hon. Member for Middle-
sex had not attended the House a little earlier.—(Great
laughter.)

ST. JAAIES'S.

This theatre has been appropriately fitted up to suit the
convenience and wiAes of that class of persons who are
alone likely to support a series of French performances.
The two first circles have been laid out in private boxes,
with the exception of some four or five in the upper tier,
and two-thirds of the area of the pit is occupied by stalls.
Madame Jenny Vertpre looked well, and played with ail
her accustomed archness and spirit The part, however,
was not worthy of her, and the vaudeville Andre in which
it occurs was a singularly unfavourable specimen of the
modern French drama. A piece in one act, called Le
Concert d laa Gear, followed, in which a namesake of the
celebrated tenor, Nourit (M. Auguste Nourit), played the
principal character. He sang pleasingly. The, house was
very fashionably attended.
London, England, 1836-04-12

COVENT-GARDEN.

Sheridan Knowles's play of the Hunchback was last night
performed, when Miss Beverley, a lady recently attacned
to the Glasgow Theatre, appeared for the first time on the
London boards as the representative of the arch and lively
Helen. Her features are very agreeable, strongly indicative
of playfulness and good humour. She inclines considerably
to the cinbonpoint;which, to a certain extent, interferes
with the symmetry of her form. She is a pleasing, sensible
actress, well versed in the business of the stage, and though
she did not evince all that buoyancy of animal spirits which
Miss Taylor was wont to lavish on the part of Helen, she
sustained the character with easy and natural gaiety. The
part of Julia was sustained with excellent judgment and dis-
crimination by Miss H. Faucit. She has improved mani-
festly since she first essayed the character. Mr. Dale took
the part of Sir Thomas Clifford. It is rather, to use a
phrase well known to the profession, " up-hill work ;" but
Mr. Dale went through it cleverly. Mr. G. Bennett ap-
peared as Master Walter. There is a strange variability in
this gentleman's mode of acting. None of that more than
tendency to extravagance which disfigures many of his
scenic efforts are observable in his performance of the
Hunchback. It is a • wall-conceived and meritorious per-
formance. The play is extremely well got up.
London, England, 1836-04-12

CHANCERY REFORM.

Mr. PEMBERTON begged to ask the Noble Lord,
whether the measure for reforming the Court or Chancery
was to be introduced in this or the other House of Parlia-
ment, and when it was to be brought forward? He un-
derstood that a vacancy had occurred in one of the Mas-
terships in Chancery. He (Mr. Pemberton,) trusted that
the vacancy would not be filled up as some important
changes were highly necessary in that department.
Lord J. RUSSELL begged to state that the measure
relating to the Court of Chancery would be introduced in
the other House of Parliament, and he believed his Noble
Friend, the Lord Chancellor, would to-morrow give notice
of the time at which it would be introduced. The Hon.
Member was quite right in suggesting that no appointment
to the vacant Mastership should take place till the details ofthe
measure were before the public ; it was not the intention of his
Majesty's Government to make any appointment at present.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS —There has been rather more cloth sold at the
Halls this week, and upon the lower descriptions of goods
there is a trifling advance in price. Business, as is usual
at this season, is dull in the warehouses.
HUDDERSFIELD.—There continues to be a fair demand
for cloths of all descriptions, without any change in prices.
BRADrORD.—We cannot report any difference in the
piece market to-day from the last few weeks.
ROCHDALE.—This week there has been a brisk market ;
the demand for almost every quality was good : greys and
dyed pieces were also much inquired for, and in general a
little advance in price was obtained.
YORK.—A great many fine parcels of wool were shown
to-day, and taking it altogether there was a good supply.
The buyers were not so numerous as last week, and nearly
one hundred sheets were left unsold. The holders sub-
mitted in several cases to a small reduction in price.

POST-OFFICE PACKETS.—We feel much pleasure
in announcing that the Lords of the Treasury have taken the
necessary steps for transferring to the Admiralty the manage-
ment and control of the Packet department of the Post-office,
as has been most judiciously recommended in the Sixth Report
of the Commissioners of Post Office Inquiry.

LITERATURE.

'3(IBI,OSS HAINFELD.—CadeII : Edinburgh, 1836.
,1,
'this is the most singular and the most interesting
er all Captain Basil Hall's productions. It seers
that
the author, while travelling with his wife and fa-
milY in Italy,
heard, the merest accident, that an
old Scotch lady, Miss Jane Anne Cranstoun, who in
~,ne Year 1797 married an Austrian Count named
rur.'gstall, was living at the family seat in Lower
s
tYtio- Captain Hall wrote accordingly to her, and
receired in reply a kind invitation to Schloss Hainfeld,
the
name of the Purgstall estate, where he took up his
residence for some months—in fact, till the death of
the Countess, whose eyes he closed. The volume be-
-I.°l:t us us is filled with anecdotes of this old lady, and
1 I'velY sketches of the scenery of Lower Styria, and the
manners of its half-tamed inhabitants. But by far
the most interesting portion of the work is that which
details the reminiscences of the Countess, who had
eard " Haydn and Mozart play on the piano-forte,"
land could tell anecdotes, from her own personal know-
edge, of Goethe, and the still more celebrated Schiller.
She was also the earlyfriend and generous fosterer of the
genius of Walter Scott, then an obscure youth, and ap-
Vreciated by few besides herself ; and Capt. Hall proves,
leyond a doubt, that she was the original of Diana
Vernon, one of the most delightful of all Scott's female
treations. At the close of the volume there is an in-
teresting letter from the illustrious Baronet to the
Countess, wherein, singularly enough, he almost anti-
cipates the dark clouds that fell on him in his later
days, in these striking words :—" For my own course
of life, I have only to be ashamed of its prosperity,
and afraid of its termination ; for I have little reason,
arguing on the doctrine of chances, to hope that the
ktne good fortune will attend me for ever. I have had
an affectionate and promising family, many friends,
few unfriends, and, I think, no enemies, and more of
fame and fortune than mere literature ever procured for
4 man before." We have no doubt that this gossip-
ing, good-humoured little volume will soon find as
roany readers and admirers as even Captain Hall's
bell-known narrative of his voyage to the Loo-Choo
islands.

AN INVESTMENT OF IMPORTANCE,
_ _

Arising from Thirty-six. recently-erected Residences, well-finished
and respectably occupied, in Cambridge and Oxford-terraces and
their vicinity, producing near 2,0001. a year.

- TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on TUESDAY, July 5, at Twelve, in
36 Lots,

AValuable and Extensive LEASEHOLD
PROPERTY, most eligible for secure and permanent
investment. It comprehends
THIRTY-SIX EXCELLENT RESIDENCES ERECTED
IN THE LEST POSSIBLE MANNER,
and in situations so eAesirable, that the most timid may embark with-
out any dread arising out of want of punctuality in the rental. It
consi‘ts of
EIGHT :FIRST-RATE HOUSES IN CAMBRIDGE AND
OXFORD TERRACES,
formin2 one of the most prominent features of the neighbourhood.
TEN HOUSES IN STAR STREET.
ELEVEN DITTO IN BOUVERIE STREET.
FIVE DITTO IN SOUTHWICK STREET, and
TWO DITTO IN MARKET-STREET,
all in the vicinity of
THE EDGWARE-ROAD.
It will he seen that the situation of all this property is exceed-
ingly eligible, and considerable judgment is most apparent in having
adapted the several abodes to the character of their neighbouring
occupants. Respectability prevails very much, and the rents are
most punctually paid. The present low income approaches
TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR,
and will be materially augmented as the leases terminate. The
estate is subject to a ground rent so low as to be almost nominal,
azel the

TERM EXTENDS TO NINETY YEARS.
:llr. Robins feels pleasure in being able to recommend this solid
investment for capital to all those who think with him, that it is
better to gain a clear 7 or 8 per cent. on substantial security, than
receive 3 per cent. from funded prOpertv. The several houses can
only be seen by permission of the respectable tenantry (all of whom
are strongly advised to avail themselves of this opportunity to be-
come their own landlords).

NEW COURT.

Charles Henry Mills, a respectable-looking man, was
indicted for stealing eleven yards of silk, the property of
Thomas Haslam.

RECORDER (to the prosecutor)—Pray what arc you ?
Prosecutor—l am chief officer to the Duke of Northum-
berland.

RECORDER (with great surprise)—What do you mean ?
Prosecutor—Why, my Lord, that I am chief mate of an
East India vessel, called the Duke of Northumberland.
REcoRDER—Oh, that's it, is it ? Then you are not
chief officer to his Grace the Duke of Northumberland ?
Prosecutor—Oh no, my Lord. _ _ _

The theft was committed on hoard a vessel in the
Thames. The prisoner was found Guilty, but was most
earnestly recommended to mercy by the Jury.
RECORDER—I have given weight to the Jury's recom-
mendation to mercy, and sentence you to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour, although your offence is
punishable with transportation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A young woman named Mary Sullivan was brought
the Lord Mayor. Mrs. Jacobson, the wife of a merchant
in the city, had a few days ago taken the prisoner as a ser-
vant, having received a most excellent character of her
from a lady of the name of Solomons, for sobriety, indus-
try, integrity, &c. The first night the prisoner entered the
house, however, she got blind drunk ; next day she con-
trived to keep up the stimulus, and in the evening scram-
bled into the bed-rooms, in a bed in one of which an infant
lay. The creature threw herself on the child, who would
no doubt have perished in a very short time if a person had
not providentially looked into the room and dragged her,
neck and heels, out. At this interference she felt her ho-
nour touched, and not only dashed a lamp and statue to
pieces, but, snatching Mr. Jacobson's watch, flung it
against the floor, and completely destroyed the works.
The prisoner admitted that she was a little tipsy when
the accident happened, having paid a visit, in company
with some Irish gentlemen and ladies, to a gin palace, and
she thought the best thing she could do was to take a lit-
tle nap ; but she had scarcely laid down when she felt her-
self dragged out by the legs, and, as for the child, she'd
take a bible oath that she never heard or felt any thing of
the kind, and in course, as she know'd nothing, she wasn't
guilty of nothing.
The Lord Moron having directed that the lady who
gave the false character should attend, Mr. Solomons, the
husband, appeared to apologise for her absence, and as-
sured the Lord Mayor that, during the five months the
young woman lived in the family, she was the most sober
creature in the world.

The LORD MAYOR fined the prisoner 40s. for the wilful
damage, and 5/. for the injury sustained by the complain-
ant, and, in default of payment, sentenced her to imprison-
ment in Bridcwell for six weeks. His Lordship expressed
a hope that the complainant would bring an action against
the person who gave the false character.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

On Saturday, iliatthcw 111Cullerlp a reputed thief, was
indicted for stealing a cloak from a school at Kensal-srreen.
The charge was fully supported by the evidence. The pri-
soner, on seeing the constable following him, jumped into
the Paddington Canal, and attempted to swim to the op-

posite shore. The constable jumped in after him, and,
finding that he resisted, he held him under the water until
he became very quiet, in fact half drowned, and be then
took him on shore. Verdict—Guilty.
The Jury passed a high compliment on the constable.
George Higgs, aged 16, and John Cribb, aged 19, were
indicted for stealing a purse, containing 7s. 6d., the pro-
perty of Mrs. Merrissot, a very respectable woman, resid-
ing at No. 147, Drury-lane.
An officer proved the apprehension of Cribb as he was
running down Bow-street.

The Learned JUDGE informed the prisoners that they
should not have the pleasure of attending a theatrical ex-
hibition for the next seven years.
William Kinsey was indicted for a criminal assault upon
Martha Gibbons, a girl under the age of ten years.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Emilie Felicile Gabrielle Chardounne MaMounne, a
French woman, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 301.,
and a variety of other articles of jewellery and plate, be-
longing to Thomas Edwards, her master:

The prisoner, when arraigned on Friday, pleaded guilty,
but the Recorder having intimated to her that her plea
being recorded, the Court would have no discretion, but
must transport her for life, she begged to plead not guilty.
The Jury, by her desire, was composed of half Englishmen
and half foreigners.
The prisoner, when called on for her defence, stated that
she was met by ten men, who threatened to murder her,
and to set fire to her master's house, if she did not commit
the robbery. Having carried off the property, according
to their request, they put her into a coach, and she went to
Southampton. She called no witnesses, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.

THE PROVIDENCE.-SALVAGE.

The claimants for salvage in this case were the master
and owners of the steam-ship Lee, belonging to Dublin,•
and the party proceeded against was the master and owners
of the Providence, her cargo and freight, which, together,
were valued at 8051. ; the ship being 7301., the cargo 1051.,
and the freight 701.
Sir J. Nicuou. said the question was what amount of
salvage should be allowed for the services rendered by the
steam-ship. It was an object of public policy to induce
steam-ships to render assistance to vessels in distress, and
therefore he should decree the sum of 501., and no costs.

THE HOWARD.-SALVAGE.
In this case, which, it will be remembered, stood over
from the last Court day in order to give the Judge time for
considering the specific amount of salvage which he should
award,

Sir J. Nicuou. to-day stated, after much deliberation,
that he thought 2,0001., or about one-seventh of the pro-
perty, would not be too large a sum. Of that 2,0001. he
considered the owner entitled to a moiety, in consideration
of the great value of the steam-ship, as also of its superior
utility, by reason of its great powers ; and the master enti-
tled to two-eighths of the remaining 1,0001., for a skilful
application of that power to the exigences of the case. Of
course he must give the costs of the salvors.

O'CONNELL SUBSCRIPTION.

Meetings have been held by the Reformers of Glasgow,
Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, York, Newcastle, Black-
burn, Worcester, and Cheltenham, and Committees or-
ganized to collect a subscription worthy the acceptances of Mr.
O'Connell. Active Committees for the same purpose have
been already formed at Evesham, Carlisle, Leeds, Kendal,
and Beverley.
There is no doubt, if similar efforts are made by the Re-
formers in general, a very large sum will be collected, in spite
of the tricks of the Tory faction, who see, in the promptitude
with which the Reformers are coming forward on this occa-
sion, their own downfall, and would wish by every in cans to
defeat it. They fear, also, through these means, Englishmen
are expressing their confidence in the policy pursued by his
Majesty's Ministers towards Ireland, and a sympathy with her
wrongs, by offering to indemnify against their persecution her
chosen advocate, and the indefatigable assertor of civil. and re-
ligious liberty.
The Reformers of Wolverhampton have called a meeting for
to-day, and in a very spirited and sensible address asset-0, that
" O'Connell, as the Friend of Liberty, is the friend of the
British nation, and shall not be crushed."

IMPORTANT PROM TEXAS.—By the arrival of the steamer
Swiss Bay yesterday we received the annexed, by Captain
Walker, who came passenger. It was written by Colonel
Hockley, of the Texian army :—" Sir, I have but a moment
to give you an account of our victory. We left 500 of the
enemy slain. There never was a victory more complete.
General Cos was taken and killed by a pistol ball. Santa
Anna was taken the next day, about ten miles from the place

We have this day received Montreal Papers to the 14th of

cate gives a flattering account of the prospects of that village.
Great bustle and activity prevail in it. The introduction of
capital into this part of the country by the Land Company will
speedily work wonders."
We copy from the Sherbrook Advocate the reply of the
Royal Commissioners to a petition of the Constitutional As-
sociation. It states :—" lam directed by his Majesty's Com-
missioners of Congress to acknowledge the receipt of a peti-
tion relative to the subjects of complaint as affecting the
Eastern Township. lam desired to state, that it will not fail
to receive the careful attention of the Commissioners, and that
it is probable some or all of their number will visit the Eastern
Town-ships during the summer. With respect to the con-
cluding paragraph of the petition, the Commissioners direct
me to state, that they are not prepared to enter upon the eon-
