NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, APRIL 28.

Our supply of Wheat at market today was good from the interior,
as well as coastwise, and all descriptions solo trceiy at. similar r.t,e. to
last Saturday. Barley was in fair request at late prices. Oats were in
good supply, and the whole taken off at last week's rates. Malt met a
a very dull sale at our quotations. For Rye also the demand was
limited, but ha its value we can note little alteration. Beans and Peas
remain without any change. For Flour we have a better sale, and
prices were a shade higher.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 28.
We have again to report small arrivals from most of our usual sources
of supply, and a continuance of cold unseasonable weather. The trade
during the week has borne a firm aspect, and rather higher rates have
bent obtainable for all articles except Oats and Oatmeal, which remain
stationary in value. The same description applies to the Liverpool and
and Wakefield Markets of yesterday. At this morning's market Wheat,
of which there is but little offering, brings an advance of 2d. per bushel.
Flour is held firmly for an advance of Is, per sack, but the bakers do not
buy freely. Oats and Oatmeal as last noted. Beans and Malt both the
turn dearer. In other articles no material variation.

BANKERS—The London Joint Stock Bank.

This Company presents to small er large Capitalists, aspects of
an extraordinary character : the immense consumption of the tvv2,.
articles and the certainty of their disposal at liberal profits render
this undertaking unusually safe and lucrative, as upon the most mo-
derate calculation, it offers a clear dividend of twenty per cent. per
annum, un the paid up capital, while such capital is augmenting,
and the Shares consequently becoming increasingly valuable.
To Wine Merchants, Victuallers, Oilmen, and Picklers, this
Company presents a most eligible investment, as by becoming
Shareholders, they unite the advantages of manufacturer anti dealer,
and secure to themselves a certain and extensive trade.

The Directors hope that the Trade and the Public generally,
will immediately avail themselves of Shares in this lucrative
undertaking, especially as they will provide that no Shareholder
shall incur liability beyond the amount of his subscribed capital.
No further call will be made without a month's previous notice,
and then not exceed one pound per share.

ASPHALTE OF SEYSSEL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The formation of a Company at Liverpool, for introducing the
Asphalte of Seyssel into Lancashire and the Northern Counties, renders
it imperative on me to notice a report which has been most industriously
circulated in that town, viz., that the Pont du Carrousel at Paris is
paved with another mastic.

Whether this report is the effect of ignorance, or raised with a view
of deceiving the public, it is not for me to offer an opinion upon. That
the bridge in question is paved with the Asphalte of Seyssel, and with
no other, is a fact notorious to every scientific person in the French ca-
pital. The mastic upon this bridge, notwithstanding its oscillations are
as great as those of the Hammersmith or Menai bridges, shows no indi-
cation whatever of wear or tear, though exposed to the extreme cold of
winter, the heat of summer, and the constant passing of passengers, for
nearly three years. The latter observations would also apply with equal
force to all the works executed by the Seyssel Company, among which
may be named the Place de la Concorde, or Louis XV's, the Rue de RI.
roll, the Pont Royal, the Covalry Barracks on Quai d'Orsay, &c.
If no specimens in our own country existed of what might be pro-
duced from coal tar, sand, and other combinations, we have only to
proceed to Paris, and examine the Boulevards, (excepting the Boule-
vards des Italiens, which is also paved with the Seyssel mastic) which
show the innumerable reparationsrendeirnrednecessary b
winter, and thematey therials lateupon

MYSTERIOUS BURGLARY.—On Monday morn-
ing, as Messrs. Younge and Smith entered their warehouse at
White-rails, Sheffield, they discovered the upper part of the
door of the iron cupboard on the other side of the room opened,
and that it had been robbed of eighty pounds in cash. The
extraordinary circumstances attending this burglary are, that
all the doors were locked and bolted before the place was left
for the previous night—the chimney had a bar across it
which was not removed, therefore the thieves could not have
entered the premises by that means, and the bars were up at
the windows. On examining the safe it was discovered that
the iron door had been blown away by placing gunpowder in
the key-hole, and putting a long train to it. It is supposed
that the noise of the adjoining mill prevented the explosion
I being heard.—Sheffield Iris.
On Saturday morning, between five and six o'clock,
a dairyman named Joseph Hughes, residing in the Hamp-
stead-road, on going to milk his cows in an adjoining field,
was gored in a shocking manner by a cow,. which had recently

sufferer, but not before he was injured in such a dreadful
manner that his life is despaired of.

WHITE CONDUIT GARDENS.

Last evening these gardens were thrown open for the first time this
season. The attendance of the public was beyond all expectation nume-
rous, and showed how highly the exertions of the proprietary during
the past year have been appreciated. The entertainments for the evening
commenced with a grand vocal and instrumental Concert, in which the
British Minstrel Family ably sustained the high character which has
been already given to their performance. In the beautiful quartette of
" Sound the Trumpet boldly," they were loudly encored. A pastoral
ballet dance, entitled The Lass of Richmond Hill, written by Mr. Bed-
ford, who has selected only the music, consisting of several very old
and favourite airs, followed, and was received with applause. The
corps de ballet, in point of beauty and agility, may well bear compari-
,son with the most attractive and efficient of which the town can boast.
The display of fireworks which concluded the entettaimnents of the
evening, was well conducted.

GREENWICH WHITSUNTIDE FAIR.

Yesterday, notwithstanding the pe'tin, showers, so inauspicious to
holiday sports, Greenwich and its environs appeared thronged with visi-
tors. The railroad and the steamers were the main arteries, as it were,
supplying the far.famed rendezvous with life and activity. Although
additional coaches were put upon the road, the business done was trivial
compared to the influx of company carried down by steam. The fair
displays little novelty. Johnson and Nelson Lee have again reared the
Thespian Temple so long massaged by Richardson. A variety of new
paintings and decorations, together with a mclodrame and other features
of the drama, proved a strong excitement to the frequenters of the fair.
The veteran Saunders has a troop of performers. Clarke's theatre also
rises in splendour above the minor stars. Amongst the novelties, there
is the celebrated giantess, Miss Weston, whose perpendicular height
exceeds seven fort. Another rara avis is the white negress. These,
with gigantic calves, monstrous horned cattle, and many wonders which
have long ceased to excite wonder, form the striking features of the fair.
We say nothing of the great dancing tooth, which, as usual, occupies
half the space allotted for the whole fair. In the Park and the ave-
nues the people formed an immense body. All the variety of goods,
toys, and eatables, usual at the fair, were displayed for sale, but the spi_
rit of the great picture formed in the Park was fcund in the merry groups
racing over the hills, or sauntering amidst the sylvan shades which skirt
the heights. Blackheath also presented a scene of rivalry. Archery,
donkee.racing, and other amusements, kept the visitors upon the
broad grin.

Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket, has engaged
Maoame Vestris and Charles I‘Lthews to perform twelve nights in that
theatre, previous to their departura for America. Madame Vestris will
afterwants take a farewell .benefit at the Italian Opera-house. On that
occasion Madame Votris will personate a character in three different
dramas in English, French, and Italian.
London, England, 1838-06-05

HAYMARKET.

This elegant theatre was crowded last night. The new Way, by
Jerrold, entitled The Mother, though exceedingly eimple in
lot,
turning entirely on the passionate love of a mother for a IoT ' d,
awakens the sympathies, especially of the female part of the audience--
in a theatre always the most important. Madame Celeste, who sustains
the part of the bereft mother, by her expressive acting leaves scarcely a
dry eye in the house. Then followed The White Horse of the Peppers,
from the ever successful and pleasing pen of Mr. Lover; in which Power
has one of his own p:.rts, succeeding to a miracle in astonishing, and we
may add, humbugging, the phlegmatic Dutchman, Hans Mansfeldt,
ably personated by Mr. W.:bster. Mrs. Fitzwilliam, as an Irish girl, is
all naivete, and sings some of Mr. Lover's melodies with much taste and
expression. After The White Horse of the Peppers, came Suzanne, a
pleasing trifle, rendered exceedingly interesting by the pantomime of
Madame Celeste, who plays the heroine. The evening's entertainments
closed with Buck stone's last and most laughable farce, Weak Points,
which appears to have lost none of its attractions.

FRENCH PLAYS.—COLOSSEUM.
The return of M. Alexandre to this country has given general satis-
, faction to those persons who recollect his extraordinary performances
sonic' ears since. It is net as a mere mimic that this artist has earned
his fame. his astounding ventriloquil powers and the mind with
which he invests every character he assumes have alike contributed to
render his histrionic-assumptions of more than ordinary interest. The
Cock," d' Auxerre, in which he is now delighting fashionable audiences at
the Colosseum, is well calculated to develop his marvellous talent for
close imitation. As a mere exhibition of quick change in costume, the
piece is, perhaps. unexampled; but there are other and higher qualities
which entitle M. Alexandre to more honourable distinction. The fa.
edify of altering his tone of voice, the natural ease with which his by-
play is managed, and the perfect consistency of the ensemble, altogether
renders the Cocker the most diverting of entertainments, and easily ac.
counted for the unbounded mirth created from the beginning to the end.
Besides Al. Alexandre there are two vaudevilles, with a regular French
company; and the playing of thei Dstin Family on brass instruments,
fill up the gap most agree..bly.

master of property to a considerable amount.

The greater part of the property was produced and iden-
tifiod by the prosecutor; and the prisoner, who expressed sor-
row for her misconduct, was fully committed for trial.
A ruffianly-looking fellow, named Thomas Morris, alias
Gallows Tom, was brought up in custody, charged with the
following wanton act of cruelty :—Police constable 165 S, on
the previous evening, as he was on duty in the Hampstead-
row, saw the thfendant and a woman seated in a small cart,
drawn by an apparently half-starved dog. The animal, owing
to the weight behind it, became completely exhausted, and,
being unable to proceed farther, the defcodant in a rage
jumped down and kicked it on the head and body with all his
might. A number of persons, who by the brutality exercised
hart been attracted to the spot, expressed in no very measured
terms their execration at the revolting conduct of the de-
fendant, who, on being spoken to by witness, seized him by the
coat, and threatened to strangle him. He was not sober, and
after a desperate resistance he was conveyed to the station-
house.

Mr. RAWLINSON (to the defendant)—What have you to say
in excuse for such brutality ? Defendant—LVy, 1 says this
here—l didn't kick the hanirnal at all, and I did'nt touch the
plccercan.

Mr. RAWLINSON—What do you say to sitting at your ease
in the cart with another person, and suffering yourselves to be
drawn along by a poor dog, which was not equal to bear the
burthen of one-third of your weight? Defendant—lt arn't
true, your Vorships, I vornt in the cart not by no means, so

brought here before ? Constable—Yes, Sir, for turkey-

DRURY-LAIVE.

Mr. Charles Kean had his benefit at this theatre last night, which
was also announced as the conclusion of his engagement here for the
Present season. The house was crowdedly fillet in every part—all the
private boxes, and each particular stall in the pit, were occupied. If
any special attraction were required, which assuredly was not the case,
to swell the attendance on the occasion, it was found in the circumstance
of Mr. Kean's making his first appearance in the part of Sir Edward
Mortimer in the Is-on Chest, a tragedy which; take it for all in all, is
about the least to be tolerated of those wherein our leading actors are
in the habit of manifesting their powers. The character of Sir Edward
is one of extreme difficulty to any actor, compressing, as it does, into the
space of some few hours, an action and emotions distributed by the more
powerful novelist over a period of many months, it might be years. Frost
the opening to the closing scene of the drama there is no repo
all is excitement, only varied by the quick.passing lights and shadots
of passion. Mr. Kean's Sir Edward Mortimer may rank with those of
his past essays in which he has been most fortunate— his Hamlet, for
instance. There is a something, be it more or less, in the two parts,
in which they are akin, and with which he, as an actor, can find his
imagination excited. He was applauded during his performance, and,
at its conclusion, called forth, as is but too usual to make such compli.
ments of much value, to the footlights, where flowers were flung pro.
fusel) from some fair hands. With regard to the rest of the perform.
ance, we cannot omit to notice the wonderful truth of Dowton, in Old
Winterton —affecting i n its very truth—the excellent actor sympa-
thised but too well with the part. Ccmpton's Sampson was also a
clever piece of acting ; and M`lan in tire recreant brigand, was a bri-
gand for Salvator himself.

STRAND.

Last night The Rake's Progress, from the pen of Leman Rede, was
produced at this house. It was a dramatic amplification of the ce!e-
brated series under the same name by flogarth. The p!ot contains
nothing that can claim rnufh cf cud in several places there
are indications of the author having beep hurried in the composition,
but generally speak'ng, it is neatly written; the interest is kept up, and
there are some very tine flashes of the pathetic. The comedy of the
piece is very rich. The applause was immense at the fall of the curtain.
In obedience to a long unanimous call, Mr. Redo was under the neces-
sity of coming forward to receive the congratulations of a very crowded
house. The second piece was from the pen of Mr. Selby, entitled Little
Sins and Pretty Sinners. There is little plot, nor much incident, nor
is there great scope In: acting. The characters arc all Quakers, male
and female, and the scene is laid In America. Othello concluded the
evening's entertaimnent, and was received with as much cordiality as if
.t had been a novelty.

SURREY.
The Surrey, with its new and splendid decorations, made a dazzling
appearance last night, filled, as it was, in every part. A new nautical
drama, entitled Homeward Bound, or the Watch in the Main-top, was
brought forward fur the ammement of the holiday visitors, and played
throughout with applause. It was effective and successful, and with a
little pruning will become, we do not doubt, a favourite of long continu-
ance. It is written by the author of Newton Fester, Ben Brace, and
other pieces of nautica► character. Ile scenery is excellent. The
main-top of the Centurion, with the yard and sail before it, is one of
the best dramatic representations of a ship's top we have seen. With
respect to the acting, every one did their duty. Saville was exec:lent

throughout the part. Mrs. Henry Vining was also clever, and received
great applause. In some of the scenes the sketches of life and manners
are admirable. The curtain fell amidst loud plaudits, and the piece was
given out for repetition without a dissentient voice. After the historical
romance of Crichton, we ;witnessed the first representation of a drama
called The King of the Hills, or the Frog, Tortoise, and Monkey. This
is founded on the popular traditions of the Hartz Mountains, and the
means of introducing the celebrated Ile, Von Klishnig, who enacts
with wonderful agility the monkey, frog, and tortoise. The exhibition
of this wonderful performer drew down reiterated applause.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
THIS DAY.

DEFEAT OF THE TORIES-MAIDSTONE.
The Committee :net this mo7ning at eleven o'clock.
Mr. TLLWJT said he was instruct:Al by Mr. rector, whom he repre-
sented, to aLate, that after the decision to which this Committee came
yesterday with respect to the al'eged agmcy of Mr. Potts, that he must
respectfully decline to contend further for this return befc•n; the Co.n.
melee. lle could not conceive to what extent he might be fixed by
the acts of other parties. He knew that over them he had no control—
that he had no connection with them—and Ise therefore declined to mate
himself responsible for those acts, and thought the shortest way to ac-
complish that was to retire from the seat.

Mr. AUSTIN said—ln consequence of the manner in which his
Learned Friend had come forward and consented that a verdict should
pass against him on the score of bribery, he ielt hound to say that with
ref rence to Mr. Fector himself, he should not have proposed to fix him
with personal bribery; there was no evidence to that effect. The charge
was that the election was void in 'consequer ce of the return having been
obtained by bribery; and also that the agents of Mr Fector hr.d com.
mitted that bribery. His Learned Friend had admitted that he could
not defend the scat on that charge, and the Committee must therefore
come to the resolution that the election was void, on the ground of
bribery.
The room was then 2:earcd for a short time. On our teadmi,sion,
'I tee CHAIRMAN said—l have to inform the counsel tind agents C:at
the Committee have come to the following resolutions :
That John Minnett Fector, Esq., is not duly returned as a burgess
to serve in the present Parliatne,t tor the borough of Maidstone.
That the last election for the said borough is a veld electron.
That the petition cf Wm. Fish and others does not appear to this Com-
mittee to be frivolous or vexatious.

That the opposition to the said petition does not appear to the Com..
mittee to be frivolous cr vexa'ious.

WESTMEATH.

At the close of yesterday's proceedings the vote of J. Anderson (PA-
t,cked by the petitioners) was declared to be good.
The petitioners now proceeded to object to the vote of E. Lacy, on the
ground of deficient quail flealon.

FEARY V. STEPHENSON.

The object of this suit was to have an administration of the
testator's estate, and also certain inquiries for the purpose of
ascertaining how far the dealings with the estate have been
proper, and such as they ought to have been with reference to
the interests of the persons entitled.
Mr. KINDLRSLEY, who was in support of the bill, was pro-
ceeding to state the facts of the case, when—.
Mr. PEMBERTON made an objection for want of parties.
After some discussion, the case was ordered to stand over
Tuesday next, for Mr. Anderton (who was with Mr. Kin-
dersley) to produce authorities to show it was unnecessary to
add parties.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE; OCT. 24.—. Tile complete revolution that
has taken place within the last three months in the diploma.
tic relations of the Porte is a fact generally admitted here
by all parties, and no longer disputed by the Russians them-
selves. It is one, however, which there is reason to be-
lieve they were well prepared for, nor are they by any means
disheartened now that it has occurred. They look confidently
to a reaction, and no means, foul or fair, are omitted that
can contribute to it. I have already alluded to her de-
monstrations by land and by sea. Whether they are really
as formidable as report has made them is of little conse-
quence ; her present object is intimidation, and the more
these preparations are magnified the better it is promoted.
Her trumpeters of the German Press have been band
somely paid for their exertions. But while assuming this
menacing attitude on the Turkish frontier, and presenting
through her Minister a front scarcely less hostile at Constan-
tinople, she has also set to work every engine of corruption
and intrigue, and is actually paving her way with gold here to
the re-establishment of her influence. Let Reshid Pacha look
to his position ; while advocating the cause of his country in
the Courts of Europe, the ground is being taken from under
his feet at Stamboul ; and, patriot Statesman as he has proved
himself to be, he may succumb by the arts of Boutenieff. In
the meanwhile neither threats nor bribery appear so far to
have produced their usual fruits. Sultan Mahmoud is firmly fol-
lowing up the decided policy he has adopted towards his Egyp.
tian vassal ; and such security does he feel under the aegis he
believes England has extended over him, that in furtherance of
these views he has, while pouring troops into Asia, almost left
his capital defenceless. Two regiments of the guard. were
marched into the interior last week, and are proceeding
straight to Bagdad, where something like hostilities, it is said,
have already commenced. The other divisions of the Turkish
army are in the most efficient state, and ready for service.
Reshid Pacha has, at least, 40,000 men at Sivas, and Ila.dgi
Ali Pacha as many at Koniah. The amount of the redif, or
militia, which is disposable, and, in fact, has been several
months under arms in the Asiatic provinces, is reported to be
60,000. Thus the standing force, independent of the troops
at Bagdad, is 140,000, and though, perhaps, inferior in disci-
pline to the army of Ibrahim Pacha, could overwhelm him by
their numbers. The combined squadrons are still at Vourla.
and both they and the land forces seem to be waiting the signal
which is to terminate their inaction, and which all are now
anxiously looking for from England.

BOWSTREET.-(THIS DAY.)

John Bulgar, 8, Charles-street, Drury-lane, was charged by
Mr. Henry D' Emden, dentist, 1, Southampton-street, Strand,
under the following circumstances : _ _ _

The complainant stated that the prisoner appeared before
the door last evening, having in his hand a number of the Paul
Pry, an unstamped publication, and while parading up and
down, he called out to every person who happened to pass,
" Here is D'Emden, the dentist, No. 1, shown up; here he is,
but I shall say nothing of the 1001., as you will find all about
it in the Paul Pry, for the small consideration of 2d." Hear-
ing his name called out in the street he went to the window,
and found the prisoner surrounded by about sixty persons, to
whom he addressed himself, saying " There he is in the
window; see how good-humoured he looks with his spectacles;
but I shall say nothing about the 1001., as you can read the
whole account in the Paul Pry." Witness then came down,
and gave him into custody.
Constable, 20 F, proved that when he touk the prisoner into
custody, he had the papers produced i❑ his possession.
The complainant added tint when at the station-house, the
prisoner said he usually singled out such names of persons as
there were articles written upon, to cry them out in order to
make a quick sale of the papers.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was not guilty
of collecting a crowd, but there was a disturbance in the Strand,
when he was apprehended, and he intended no harm to the
complainant.
Mr. TWYFORD said it was an abominable nuisance to have a
respectable man's name cried out before his own door, and the
complainant might indict the prisoner at the Sessions, if he
thought proper, as he should put in bail.
London, England, 1838-11-16

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday James Young was finally examined, charged by
Mr. William Wright, printer, of No. 12, Fulwood's-rents,
Holborn, with having stolen a promissory note for 161. Mr.
BENETT called upon the prisoner to put in bail to answer the
charge at the Sessions.
Dennis Donovan was re-examined, chr-ged with having
attempted to murder Catherine, his wife. lie was remanded
for another week.
London, England, 1838-11-16

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Mrs, Jane Connop, a fidgetty little body, who has the mis-
fortune to be continually in hot water with her neighbours,
charged Peter and Mary Hodgkin with having jointly threat-
ened to do her some kind of bodily harm the first convenient
opportunity.
Profitting by pant experience of the complainant's discursive
loquacity, the Bench requested her to confine herself to the
particular time of assault, and to tell the circumstances as
briefly as possible.
" Oh, certainly," said Mrs. Connop, nodding, " your
Worship knows as I never uses a single iotum more as is ne-
cessary. You see, Mrs. Hodgkin for a good while has wanted
to spit her spite on me, but I took care she should not have a
hopportunity as I never stirred out of my own room except
it was to empty the slops or to go to the butcher's for a bit of
summut for dinner, or else a pound or two of kidney-tators.
One arternoon last week I sent my youngest' gal out on an
errand, but whether it was for a bundle of wood or a ha'portb
of mustard, I'm sure I cant tell. Howsomever, she had not
got back afore I heerd the most frightfullest shreeks and
skries, and then I beers Mrs. Hodgkin a hollering out
• Where's that scraggy. necked old lady-pig? Come
down stairs and see if I don't twist your fat abdominal viscera
into fiddle-strings.' Well, there I sot, like patience under
the monument,' without saying nothing, when somebody come
to the door with my rap. People as is for Mr. Hodgkin comes
with a double knock, and people as is for me come with three
knockses. Down I goes to arnser the door, when out flies
Mr. Hodgkin, like a roarin' lion, and swears he'll do for old
scraggyneck, and so he would if I hadn't wanished into the
back washhouse. Ever since I've been afeerd to go for a
kettle of water and to answer my own knockses, or take in
my milk."
The Magistrate inquired if the complainant had any pre-
vious quarrel with the defendants ? Mrs. Connop—Oh dear,
no, we were always the best of friends till my gal quarrelled
with their gal. I don't want to hurt any on 'em, or say a word
agin 'em, but I can prove as Mr. Hodgkin is a thief, and that
Mrs. Hodgkin gets drunk regular twice a week.
The defendants, in answer to the charge, said the corn.
plainant encouraged her children to behave rudely to their
children. The consequences were that sundry boxes on the
ear, and endless fisty cuffs, were reciprocated between the
juveniles, who contrived at length to enlist their parents in
their petty squabbles, and thus a state of things was produced
which led to the appearance of all parties at the office.
The Bench finding the complainant refused to accept terms
of pacification, settled the matter by ordering the defendants
to enter into their own recognizances.
