had privpd the allegation or charge in this deciamtion,
that they were the proprietors b of the work in
question? The second question would be whether
the defendant caused the work to, be printed and
published. The defendant coutendsd be had only
done that which the plaintiffs themselves had done,
that was, that be had copied the French work
with variations. Thirdly, he would ask them whether
the defendant had knowledge that the work in question,
supposing it to be a pirated copy of the plaintiffs' work,
but with certain colourable or evasive alterations, nut
substantially varying its character, was unlawfully
printed before Nulling or exposing it for sale ? lie
thought there was no ground whatever for the charge
made by the plaintiffs' counsel, that the defendant (Mr.
Strange) had nett d fraudulently in this transac-
tion, seeing that he sold the copies of the work
in question without conceals ent. It the work in
question was substantially that of M. de Flotow, though
there might be some trifling a,terations, the plaintiffs
would have no case, for they could havia t cops right in
the work.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and bad
not returned into court when our report left.

EXCHE QUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON aid a Ccmmon Jury.)
The Court was occupied during the morning in trying
an action on a bill of exchange, involving no point of
public interest.

SECONDARIES -(rillS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
ROGERS V. WHITLOCK.
This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 18s., the
balance of a promissory note. Defendant sufferQd judg-
ment to go by default.
Mr. BUCHANAN, plaintiff's solicitor, said he would
call witnesses to prove the signature to be that of the
defendant, and that the writ had been duly served on him.
Witnesses were called and proved these facts.
Mr. BUCHANAN said there were two Mr. Whitlocks,
defendant being the junior, and no doubt thought he
could take an advantage of the non-insertion of the word

" junior."
The Learned SECONDARY held that the identity had
been fully made our, and the jury found for the plaintiff.
MIIMFORD V. MARRIOTT.
The plaintiff is a horse dealer, defendant is a clerk i❑
a Government office, and the action was brought to re-
cover damages for breach of contract. Defendant suf-
fered judgment to go by default, thereby admitting that
his judgment had been at fault i❑ entering into the
contract. It appeared that in August last defendant bar-
gained for a horse, for which he was to pay 311., and
left a deposit of 1/., and was to pay the difference and
take away the animal in a few days, but subsequently
called and said he had not been able to raise the money,
but requested plaintiff to keep it at livery, which he did
for about twelve weeks, but defendant did not come to
the post.
A witness was called, who swore the horse had de-
preciated in value for sale 10/,
A juror said he could hardly understand that.
The witness—Oh, it is so, and no mistake.
The Learned SECONDARY said the question of damages
was one entirely for the jury, the contract clearly having
been broken.
The jury found a verdict for 101. loss on sale, and 8/.
10s. for keep.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron_ ALDERSON, and Mr. Justice

CRESSWELL.)

The second edition of the calendar contains the names
of 207 prisoners, being an increase since the last edi-

Lion of 23.
THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT CHISWICK,

Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, with reterence to the young
marl who was charged with feloniously shooting at and
wounding his father, John Farmer Monkhouse, with in-
tent to murder him, he had to apply to their Lord-
ships on the part of the prisoner for a postponement of
his trial until the next sessions. The affidavit upon
which he made the application was that of an attorney,
who stated that he had only just been retained, and
had not had time to prepare the prisoner's defence.
Mr. BODKIN, on the part of the Crown, said he would
offer no obj-etion to the appl:cation.
The COURT granted the application, and accordingly
the trial will stand over until the next sessions.

Geo, ge Boulelnz Talker, a respectable-lo•,king man,
aged 20, and described as a clerk, pleaded guilty to an
indictment charging him with having stolen a bank-note
value 10/., the property of John Sadlier, and others, his
masters.

An application was now made for a mitigation of
punishment. It appeared that the employers of the pri-
soner %ere bankers, and that he abstracted the 101. note
from a letter which was received in the ordinary course
of business by the firm. Several certificates were put
in giving him an excellent character for sobriety and
honesty, and in palliation of his conduct, it said, he
committed the offence from a vain and foolish love for
dress. He procured some articles of dress on the under-
standing that he should pay the tailor by instalments
out of his salary—an arrangement which he faithfully
nded to carry out, but, unfortunately, the tailor
became bankrupt, and his assignees threatened to suo
him for the payment of the debt, and this, he said, in-
duced him to take the 101. note. Inquiries had been
made to ascertain the truth of this statement, and the
accuracy of it had been confirmed.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence said, the
prisoner had lost no advantage by pleading guilty, for
having looked over the depositions, he found the case
was very clear against him. The nature of the case
showed his entire inexperience in crime, for the way in
which he committed the offence was sure to lead to
detection. Through au extravagant love of dress, and
a desire to incur expenses beyond his means, he had lost
not only his situation but his character and his caste in
society, had disgraced his family, and instead of pursuing
a course of honest industry to a position of respecta-
bility or wealth, he was Pow A convicted felon. At his
age repentance and reformation were not hopeless,
though difficult; and he beseeched him, if he regarded
his own welfare, never again to wander from the straight
path of honesty. The seutenee of the Court was, taking
into consideration the circumstances of the oase, that he
be imprisoned in Newgate for the period of six calendar
mouths.

The COMMON-SERGEANT—NOW, Mrs. Harris, what
character hus she borne all along ? ituess—l am sorry
to say I have heard since she left me that she is a very
bad girl.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—Oh, oh. What have you
beard, IT ? Witness—That she has had a child in
the union. _ .

The COMMON-SERGEANT—What ! Why, how old is
she ? Witness—Eighteen.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—AM I am afraid Miller
you area very bad girl, and you have hid a lucky escape
from one scrape. The sentence of the Court is that you
be imprisoned for four months in the House of Correc-
tion, with hard labour.
ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Mary Ann Aldridge was
indicted for stealing two 51. notes, the property of Mr.
Alfred Cooper, an officer in the East India Company's
service. _ _ _

The prisoner was servant to the prosecutor's brother,
who resides at Streatham, and she stole the notes from a
waistcoat pocket of the prosecutor, which he had left in
his bedroom. When taxed with the robbery she denied
all knowledge of the notes, but they were subsequt.ntly
traced to her poss:_tsion.
The prisoner, in her defence, said she found the notes.
The jut), found her Guilty, and she was 4entenced to
four months' imprisonment.
ATTEMPTED RAPE.—A respectably attired middle-
aged man, named Charles Boardman, described as a
boot maker, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging
him with feloniously and carnally knowing and abusing
Mary Eliza Sarah Southey, a little girl between eleven
and twelve years of age.
Mr. WOOLLEY, who was instructed to prosecute, called
the attention of the Court to the fact that it appeared
from the depositions that the prisoner communicated a
loathsome disease to the child.

The prisoner said—l throw myself upon the mercy o
the Court. _

The Court sentenced him to twelve months' imprison.
relent in the House of Correction.

MANSION HOUSE.-(THIS DAY

FELONY THROUGH HUNGER.—i man named John
flicks was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor
charged with felony.
From the statement of a City police-officer, the poor
fellow entered Smith's pastry-cook's shop in the Poultry
last night, and stole some buns.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, stated that he
had walked from Chatham on an empty stomach, and
could not deny the robbery.
Not being known by the police, the Lord Mayor coin-
roittP4 the prisoner for 14 days, (much to the poor fel-
low's delight), and aftvrwarda to be passed to Chatham
back again,

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
WATCHES WERE MADE TO GO.—Charles Somerville,
a well-known thief, was placed before Mr. Hardwicke,
charged on suspicion of being concerned, with a woman
not in custody, in stealing from the person of Mr. Fre-
derick Collis, a gentleman residing at N 0.3, Mill-street,
Hanover. square, a silver watch and chain, value 41.
It appeared from the evidence that about twelve
o'clock on the previous night the prosecutor was pro-
ceeding down Sherrard-street, Soho, when he was ac-
costed by a female. Before he had time to reply she
snatched his watch and chain from his waistcoat
pocket, and immediately ran off. Just as he
was on the point of pursuing her, the prisoner came
up, and placing himself directly in front of him,
prevented prosecutor from following the woman.
The prosecutor finding he could not get away threatened
to give the prisoner in charge, when the latter said,
" Oh, my dear fellow, its no use 'peaking like that,"
but on his still expressing his deterl.l3ilAtion to girl) him
iu charge he ran away as fast as he could, Witness
pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," and " Police," as
far as Compton street, when be was stopped by a con-
stable and taken to the station.

Constable, 41 C, proved stopping the prisoner and
taking him to the station, where he was searched, and
21. 94. 3d. found upon him. Tke watch has not been
found.

Another constable said he saw the prisoner, who was
well known to the police, in Regent-street, in company
with a woman who was a convicted thief, and who was
notorious for committing street robberies of this de-
scription.

Mr. HARDWICKE remanded the prisoner for a week.

AMERICAN NEWS.
Livv.kroon, TUESDAY.—By the arrival off the port
of the packet ship New World, Captain Knight, after ,
P. quick passage of little over 17 days, we have advic'„
from New York to the 9th inst., being three days
later than those received by the Europa.
Our advices contain scarcely anything wor thy of
notice. An influential memorial from the mar chants
and others of New York had been presenteer to the
President, asking for the establishment of a direct
semi monthly mail between that port and Chagres.
This line, if established, and the line already provided
for by Act of Congress carrying the mails between
New York, Charleston, Savannah, Havannah, New
Orleans, and Chagres, would give to the wh,Jle At-
lantic coast a means of intercourse with the. Pacific
far exceeding those now enjoyed, and yea no more
than are required by the vast emigrations to the gold
regions, and the commercial interests which have
sprung up in that region.
Considerable preparations were said to be making
in Montreal for a grand annexation, meeting, which
was to be held on the Bth inst.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Money continues easy for all
business purposes, and we do not observe any advance in
rates. The entire range of :quotations is from Bto 12
per cent , though operations are rarely made at less than
9, and quite as seldom at any rate above 10. Something
of an undefined, distrustful, hesitating feeling has been
apparent in financial circles, occasioned by the recent
specie export. .The declining tendency of exchange since
the last steamer has, in a great measure, removed that
feeling, and everything which has an influence and
bearing upon our money relations tends to strengthen
and confirm the opinion that we are yet moving towards
greater abundance. Without any considerable increase
in the amount of business transacted in stocks, the market
has assumed a firmer tone, and quotations, in the agre..
gate, are higher, In manufacturing there is but little
activity, and no improvement in quotations; sales are
confined to a very few of the he6t und must profitable.
Cotton—The sales of the day amount to 2,500 bales,
Of this quantity 1.800 were taken for export. Importers
are free sellers, The market is well supplied with new
Uplands, ranging from good middling to fully fair, A

WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal West India mail-packet; Teviot, Cap-
tain Hewett, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and
landed her mails under the charge of Lieutenant R.
Percival, R.N., Admiralty agents•

The dates received by the Teviot are—Vera Cruz,
18th Oct.; Tampico, 14th Oct.; Havannah, Ist
Nov. ; Honduras, 12th Oct.; Jamaica, 22d Oct.;
St.,Jago de Cuba, 19th Oct. ; Guiana, 19th Oct.;
Trinidad, 22d Oct. ; Barbadoes, 29th Oct. ; Antigua,
30th Oct.; Martinique, 30th Oct.; Grenada, 23d
Oct. ; Porto Rico, 26th Oct.; St. Thomas, 31st
Oct.; Bermuda, 12th Nov.

The Teviot's freight consists of 419,451 dollars
from Mexico (112,000 of which are on account of
Mexican dividends, (16
,ozs. gold dust ; 4671. 7s. 6cl.
British coin; 164 serous of cochineal ; 140 bales
tobacco ; 65 cases cigars ; 17 casks arrowroot ; 13
packages succades ; 41 packages sundries.
Therewere 37 passengers on board the Teviot on
the homeward voyage.
The movements of the West India steam-packets
are as follows :—The Tay is the next ship home from
the Spanish Main ' • the Avon had sailed for the
Spanish Main ; the Dee for the Gulf of Mexico ; the
Great Western for' Bermudah and New York ; the
Conway and Eagle for the northern islands and
Demerara.

The Teviot experienced terrific weather in the
Gulf. She was unable to zommunicate with the
shore during three days that she was off Vera Cruz,
on account of the tempestuous state of the weather.
She was obliged to call at Tampico the second time
for mails, also on account of the weather.
Disease had almost decimated the inhabitants of
Vera Cruz. It is "expected -that a very' large' retnit-•
tance will be sent home next month for' the 'Mexican
dividends—not less than half a million of dollars.

Her Majesty's ship Trincomalee had been sent
round from Halifax to Havannah to watch the move-
ments of the Americans in the Cuba affair.

The dates from Jamaica are only one day later than
those received via New York, through the Crescent
City. Fine rains had fallen in Jamaica, which were
much required in many districts. The climate had
become considerably cooler, and the island was
healthy, with the exception of several cases of diar-
rhcea. Preparations were being n ade by some
planters to cultivate tobacco, and it was stated Ja-
maica could supply half the world with tobacco and
cigars, with great advantage to herself; if the planters
would only lay themselves out for the systematic
cultivation of the tobacco plant, for which the soil and
climate of the island are quite as favourable as those
of Cuba or Porto Rico. The dread of cholera, which
had seized the minds of many of the inhabitants, bad
passed away.

From Demerara advices are to the 19th of October.
The new Franchise Bill has passed the Court of Po-
licy, and the Tax Ordinance renewed till March
next, should the Combined Court not enact a regular
tax in the meantime. Several addresses had been
presented to Governor Barkly, in a tone of re-
spect and regret at the depressed condition into
which recent events had plunged the colony. The
old civil list quarrel was apparently consigned to ob-
livion. All public business was suspended pending
the result of the ensuing elections. The Hon. Mr.
Stanley, M.P. for the borough of King's Lynn, the
eldest son of Lord Stanley, and grandson of the Earl
of Derby, had arrived at Georgetown. The object of
his visit is said to be to acquire information concern•
ing the West India possessions of the Crown, and thus
qualify himself for the better discharge of his public
duties as a member of the Imperial Parliament. Mr.
Stanley proceeds, it is said, from Demerara to Tri-
nidad, Jamaica, and other parts of the West Indies ;
and thence proceeds to Panama, and crosses over the
Isthmus to the Pacific. A few more African immi-
grants had arrived. The weather had been favour-
able to the planters.

Lieutenant Mills, R.N., Admiralty agent of the
Royal Alail steamer Eagle, had appeared before
the Sheriff of Demerara, to swear the peace against
the commander, chief officer, and purser of that
steamer. A warrant was accordingly granted and
those gentlemen brought before the Court and
obliged to enter into their own recognizance of 201.,
and a surety of 51. each, to keep the peace towards
the gallant officer. The affair caused great amuse-
ment in Demerara, where all the parties were well
known for their excellent good humour and jovial
natures.

REPRESRNTATION OF C•RMANTIBINSHIRE.— CAR-
MARTHEN, MONDAY.—The representation of this county,
which has become vacant by the elevation of the Hon.
George Rice Trevor. M.P., to the peerage, consequent
upon the death of his father (Lord Dynevor), has put
both political parties on the qui vivo, and a severe contest
is anticipated. A general feeling of regret has been
caused by the loss oF Mr. Trevor as the representative of
the county, as the Hon. Gentleman has for many years
devoted the whole of his time and attention to the ad-
vancement of the interests of his constituents. No
official intimatiox has as yet been given by the leaders of
either party as to the candidates to whom they will give
their support, but there is little doubt that the Protec-
tionist party will start Mr. David Jones, of Pontglas, an
extensive landowner in the county, and who contested
unsuccessfully with Mr. Dyce Sombre the representation
of Sudbury when that borough returned a member. On
the other hand, it is confidently asserted that the Liberals
will start Sir James Hampden Williams, of Eelwinsford,
near Llandilo, a gentleman who has on former occasions
stood against the Protectionist interest. The Hon. G.
Rice Trevor (now Lord Dynevor), who retires, has for
some years past acted as deputy to his father in the lord-
lieutenancy of the county, and will, it is confidently ex-
pected, succeed to that office. He proved himself a most
active magistrate during the Rebecca riots, when, on ac
count of infirmity, his father was unable to perform his
arduous duties. He is also President of the Society of
Ancient Britons, which office he will retain. The day
for the nomination is not yet fixed.
Real grief is never c'amorous. It seeks to shun
every eye; and breathes in solitude and silence the sighs
that come from the heart.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

BENEVOLBNCE.—A Chester Contemporary says :
The Most Honourable the Marquis of Westminster, on
Friday last, called together several aged and infirm la-
bourers who hare heen employed for years in the gar-
dens and other parts of the estate at Eaton Hall, and
awarded them pensions for the remainder of their days. ,
This act of benevolence was most justly apportioned by
the Marquis, in sums averaging from 3s. to 6s. each,
according to the ago and inability of each individual to
follow auy employment.—Liverpeol Mercury.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE ON ♦ TALEGRAPH LINE
IN Paussls.—A curious accident occurred to the electric
telegraph line between Berlin and Stettin the other day.
The communication baring been found to be interrupted
search was made for the cause, when a mouse's nest,
with a little brood, was discovered in the gutta percha
tube, and it appeared that the little animal hed contrived
to gnaw through or disturb the wires.—Mining Journal.
THE POLICE or LITERPOOL.—The police corps of
Liverpool now numbers coniid( rably above a thousand.
The men are consecutively numbered, and officer 1,000
gave evidence in court yesterday; but there are frequent
vacancies. There are amongst the force six superin-
tendents, and a number of inspectors, bridewell-keepers,
and their assistants, &c. The body has latterly been
slightly reduced, and in round numbers is at present
about 1,150 strong—a pretty large regiment to keep the
vicious and the refractory of our town in order or in awe.
—Liverpool Standard.
Simian or A PUBLICAN.—On Monday morning,
a publican named G. Moade, who kept the Boot public-
house, in Wells-street, Oxford-street, committed suicide
by cutting his throat with a razor. The deceased had
occasion to go into his cellar about seven o'clock in the
morning in question, and shortly afterwards a female
domestic discovered him sitting on a small beer barrel,
with his throat cut from ear to ear. A surgeon was im-
mediately fetched, but life was found to be quite extinct.
An inquest was held upon the body by Mr. Wakley, at
the above-mentioned public-house, last evening, and the
evidence elicited showed that the deceased had bee❑ in a
desponding state of mind for some months past, but that
be had never before attempted to destroy himself. The
jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAT.—Traffic for

13ATTERSBA-PARK.—The Commissioners of Woods
and Forests in their report just issued state that their
proceedings for the acquisition of the property to form
Battersea•park have been impeded by the want of funds,
the delay being manifestly injurious to the interests of
the Crown, and productive of frequent complaints from
the owners of the property and other persons having
interests affected by the formation of the intended park;
that great loss and inconvenience are occasioned to them
by the uncertainty that extsts as to the period of settle-
ment of their respective claims. The Commissioners
have borrowed 50,0001., and under a recent statute
charges can be given for property purchased on the
land revenues of the Crown, and up to the date of the
report the Commissioners had paid in money for pro-
perty 23,1971. 10s. 3d. Certificates on the land revenues
in lieu of money can be given to owners of property who
aro willing to accept the same under the Act 11th and
12th Victoria, cap. 102.
A good man will never teach that which he does
not believe.—Eliza.Cook's Journal.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
A pleasantly written and excellently acted little
cornedietta, entitled Delicate Ground, was produced
here last evening with complete success. It is from the
pen of Mr. Charles Dance, and is evidently an adapta-
tion from the French. It is played by only three
individuals, namely, Madame Vestris, Mr. Charles
Mathews, and Mr. Roxby. The plot amounts to
nothing, and yet it forms an ingenious framework upon
which to wreathe certain useful domestic homilies. A
citiz,n of the French Republic, a member of the
Convention, perceives in his wife a leaning towards
romanticism, and an undue tendresse for the memory
of an individual to whom she had formerly been be-
trothed. He affects the most sublime indifference to
her sentimental fancies, and treats her with an an-
noying air of sang froid. Her former lover, whom
she had supposed dead, suddenly turns up in the
shape of a proscribed royalist, and the husband, to
test his wife's affection, and prove to her the folly of
her pervading impressions, consents, with a perplex-
ing air of coolness, to annul, according to the repub-
lican licence of 1793, his marriage, and assign her
to her original lover. An amusing imbroglio takes
place, for the "citizen," aware of the vanity and
silliness of the man to whom he proposes to transfer
his conj. ugal rights, entraps him into a demonstra-
tion ofinconstancy, betraying at the same
time the weakness and imbecility of his character.
The contrast that he thus establishes between his
rival and himself convinces his wife of his own
solid and enduring worth ; and discovering, with
characteristic shrewdness, that her affection for him
is really strong, although clouded by the defects of
education, he exposes to her the real state of her
heart; awakens in her a latent spirit of moral and
intellectual appreciation, and finally destroys the
document which was the official initiative of their
divorce. The interest of this little comedy depends
upon its dialogue, and this is always smart and spark-
ling. A more adroit representative of the husband
than Mr. Charles Mathews could not have been
found. His imperturbability was never disturbed for
a moment, whether in meeting his wife's reproaches,
or in confronting the frivolous assurances of her
admirer. His matter-of fact deportment was more
than a match for either, and he triumphed by the
manifestation of plainness and sincerity. Madame
Vestris was equally well adapted to embody the
romantic, though well-intentioned wife. Her mo-
mentary impulses of passionate irritation. had her
growing convictions of the worth and s9.;‘acity of her
husband, were portrayed with mica feminine truth,
and nothing could he more finished and natural. Mr.
Robert Roxby, as the personifier of the third charac-
ter, exhibited the infirmities of volatility and empti-
ness with all the effect that was necessary, making as
much of an unpleasing part as circumstances would
allow. The applause which followed the fall of the
curtain was general and enthusiastic, and Mr. Charles
Mathews pacified the clargo,ur for the author by sim-
ply announcin:l„., name.

STRAND THEATRE.
The mutations of this petit establishment have
scarcely been less varied than the fortunes and policy
of its managers have been chequered and fitful. It
has undergone all the phases incident to the stage,
being at one time the seat of burlesque, at another
the temple of tragedy; now the school of broad farce,
and anon the retreat of singers and musical composers,
but never has it been applied to so good a purpose
as it is at the present moment. It is now a sort of
iijou cabinet of English comedy, and the lessons
illustrated upon its boards, and preached by.its actors,
inculcate wholesome moral truths, while they
please and entertain the mind of the spectator. Too
small for the gaudy display of burlesque, or the repre-
sentation of tragedy, it is yet sufficiently spacious
and convenient for the development of dramatic en-
tertainments as unquestionable in merit as they are
truthful reflexes of natural feelings and healthy senti-
ments. Mr. Farren has discarded the exclusive tastes
of his fellow-managers. He does not confine his
stage to a few favoured playwrights, nor does he rely
for success upon his own or any other individual
actor. His house is, open to every aspirant for fame
as a dramatic writer who makes the least pretensions
to merit or originality, while his company is nume-
rous and complete for the purposes of English comedy.
A few days ago we had the pleasure of recording the
successful revival of two of Sheridan's best works,
namely, the School for Scandal and the Rivals, and
DOW we have to notice the disentombment of Llol-
croft's Road to Ruin, which seems as fresh and accu-
rate in its pictures of every-day life as if it were only
written yesterday. It was excellently cast and equally
well played. Farren as Old Dotnton was elo-
quently pathetic ; so indeed was Leigh Murray
as his son Harry, though here and there he was
somewhat too violent. Mr. Henry Farren played
the prominent part of Goldfinch, and, to use the
phraseology of the class the character represents, it
was a rattling, spanking, rollicking performance, full
of spirit and energy, and making portions of the
audience echo his saying of " That's your sort."
Compton was entrusted with the part of Silky, the
canting, roguish money-lender, and capitally be sus-
tained it. It was artistic and finished to the last
degree. Mrs. Glover's Widow Warren is too well
known and appreciated to need any eulogiurn from us,
and was all that could be wished; while Mrs. Stir-
ling ns Sophia was the very impersonation of artless-
ness and simplicity. The minor parts were all
admirably sustained, and the reading and conception
of them perfect. The comedy drew an exceedingly
full house, who enjoyed the acting as much as the
beauties of the author, and their applause and delight
knew no bounds. We were not sorry to observe a
few of the old school of playgoers present ; they
seemed to enter fully into the spirit of the comedy,
and laughed and chuckled, cried and sobbed with
the youngest of the audience. At the fall of the
curtain the principal characters were summoned to
the foot-lights, and Mr. Farren availed himself of this
opportunity to intimate that the comedy would be
repeated.
