AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.
Mr. G. PRICE rose to call the attention of the House
to the state of affairs in Spain. He never addressed the
House under so great a degree of excitement.—(Hear.)
The next matter was that thre was no third estate—no
House of Lords—it had no connection with the old
Cortes—it was an exotic in Spain, and would never take
root in the country even watered as it had been by so
much blood. If these speculators could gain but a half
per cent. they cared little what sufferin

others. There were many who staked their all in these se-

window.
The cause of the fire has not been ascertained. The
ringing of the alarm bell, and the awful blaze of the flames,
soon brought the inhabitants from the neighbouring villages
and farm-houses to assist. Some musical instruments and
a considerable quantity of books were rescued, though much
damaged ; a costly library, and .the whole contents of one
of the lower rooms, perished in the conflagration. Several
valuable turning lathes, with complete sets of tools belong-
ing to each, were destroyed, as well as much furniture, and
the wearing apparel of the whole family. To the sleeping
rooms all access was cut off.

Every effort was now made for breaking off the commu-
nication of the mansion with the kitchen and its appendages,
which arrested the progress of the fire. The Burton-upon-
Trent engines were in full play at half-past four, but the
fire streaming out in torrents on all sides of the house, was
not subdued till after a twelve hours' desolation ; and even
in the succeeding night would have continued its ravages,
had not the engines remained on the spot.
Whatever portion of the valuable property was extricated
in the early stage of the fire, was due to the self-possession,
courage, and cool judgment of each member of the family
—female no less than male. The peasantry exerted them-
selves to the utmost, and their conduct throughout exhi-
bited evidences of improved understanding and heart, as
compared with what would have been xnanifested in such
circumstances a quarter of a century ago ; which improve-
ment Mr. Wood, in thanking the labourers, Attributed to
the efforts now making for diffusing education.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Samuel Thomas, a tall powerful man, employed
as a labourer by the parochial authorities of Camberwell, was
brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with having, on the
preceding night, attempted to shoot Mr. Richard Thomas, a
gentleman residing at Sydenham, recently appointed one of the
guardians of the parish under the new Poor Law Act.
Simmons, the policeman, said that there were two or three
persons present when the prisoner loaded the gun, and that
they beard him say that he intended to shoot Mr. Thomas on
his •way home.
&lr. WEDGWOOD said that the evidence of those parties was
most important, and as it appeared they hesitated in coming
forw and to give their evidence without compulsion, the Magis-
trate, immediately directed summonses to be issued for their
apprehension, and in the meantime remanded the prisoner.

TIMBER DUTIES.

Mr. Alderman THOMPSON wished to correct several
statements that had been made by the Right Honourable
Gentleman at the head of the Board of Trade, with respect
to what he (Mr. Alderman Thompson) had stated at a meet-
ing on the subject. The Right Honourable Gentlemen had
said that he ( Mr. Alderman Thompson) at the meeting alluded
he had stated that the Right Honourable Gentleman had the
ntention of surreptitiously passing a Bill in that House.
fior the purpose of altering the duties on timber
What he intended to say was, that if measures were introduced
at a late period of the Session, many Hon. Members would have
left London, and consequently they would not receive that con-
sideration the case required. He wished it clearly understood that
he had said nothing calculated to give pain to his Right Hon.
Friend, for whom, when he filled a less distinguished place
than at present, he entertained the greatestfriendship, which
he wished to continue notwithstanding any difference of poli-
tical opinion. He wished to ask what time would be allowed
for consideration between the printing of the schedules and the
consideration of them in the House ?

Mr. POULETT THOMSON was glad that the gentle-
man had not used language calculated to sever the friendship
which he was proud should exist between them. In reply to
the question, he should state that there was no discrepancy be-
tween what had been said by the Noble Lord in another place
and what he mentioned last night, that it was not the inten-
tion of Government to introduce any measure, on the subject
of these duties at so early a period in the session.—( Hear,
hear.) The Report of the Committee could not be acted upon
till 1837, and he could assure the Gentleman that sufficient
time would be afforded between the printing of the schedules
and their consideration in that House.

Mr. G. F. YOUNG asked a question relative to
a supposed negotiation between the British Ambassador at
Schomberg and the agent of a Foreign Power relative to certain
alterations in the timber duties. He understood arrangements
were still going forward on the subject.
Mr. PO UL ET- THOMSON said, the fact, if it were sot
of the arrangement being still pending, ought to be a sufficien,
reason why he should decline to answer the question.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

Miss Joanna Baillie's Tragedy of Separation was las
night brought out at this Theatre. The following is an ana-
lysis of the plot :—Count Garcio, Mr. C. Kemble, while en-
gaged at the head of his troops in fighting the battles of his
monarch, leaves his young and beautiful wife Margaret, Miss
Helen Faucit, in one of his castles. During his absence, his
wife receives some information which induces her to believe
that her husband had been instrumental in causing the death of
her brother, and this induces her to feel repugnance towards
him. At the commencement of the Tragedy the Countess
receives information from the Marquis Rovani (Mr. Bennett),
an intimate friend of Count Garcio, of the war being con-
cluded, and that the Count was on his way to meet his bride.
The emotion manifested by her, consequent upon the informa-
tion she had received, is attributed by the confidante of the
Count to a want of affection to her Lord, who reports to him
accordingly. The meeting between the Count and Margaret,
where the latter struggles between her affection for her husband
and her repugnanee to embrace the murderer of her brother, was
very finely executed. Margaret entreats her Lord, on account
of her indisposition, that she may pass the night alone, and the
Count, who is advised by his confidante that Margaret's ill-
ness is feigned, and that she merely wished for an excuse to
mourn the absence of some favoured lover, is induced to enter
her chamber in the night, and he finds her contemplating a
miniature. He snatches it from her, and finds it to be the
likeness of the brother whom he had murdered in a moment
of phrenzy, for his resistance to his suit with his sister. His
agitation induces Margaret to challenge him with the crime,
and she then declares that they must separate for ever. We
should have mentioned that a certain Marquis Tortona, a
would-be lover of Margaret, is just sufficiently introduced
upon the stage to give a colour to the jealousy of the Count.
After the explanations between Margaret and the Count, the
latter leaves the castle ; and when his absence becomes known
to the Marquis Tortona, he thinks it a fit opportunity to push
his suit, and being repulsed rather cavalierly by the Marquis
Rovani, he lays siege to the castle. In the conflict which en-
sues, the besieged are about to be destroyed by the Marquis
Tortona's troops, when the valour of an apparently holy friar
causes the besieged to rally, and they succeed in putting to the
rout the troops of Tortona, who is himself killed. This holy
friar turns out to be Count Garcio, who, in the struggle, re-
ceives a mortal wound, and dies at the feet of his Countess.
Mr. C. Kemble played the part of Garcio with skill and some
feeling, and would have produced a more favourable impression
on his audience, had it not been for his drawling mode of
delivery, which was at time positively intolerable. Miss Helen
Faucit acted a difficult character with great discrimination ;
she shows considerable promise, and needs oniy time and study
to render her a very superior tragic actress. The play was
favourably received by a full house.

Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to a question from an Hon.

" WILLIAM Rax.
" I willingly assent to the prayer of my faithful Commons,
that I will be pleased to take such measures as shall seem ad-
visable for the effectual discouragement of Orange Lodges, and
generally of all Political Societies excluding persons of a dif-
ferent religious persuasion, using signs and symbols, and acting
by means of Associated Lodges. It is my firm intention to
discourage all such Societies, and I rely with confidence
upon the fidelity of my loyal subjects to support me in my de-
termination."—(Great cheeringl)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Fsmorkzer 25.
Mr. CLAY presented a petition from some parties inter-
d in the road to Blackwall, praying to be heard by Counsel
nst the London and Blackwall Railway Bill.
NMr. R. COLBORNE moved that the Committee on the

ort h Midland Railway be received, and a petition on the sub-
ject, which had been presented early in the sitting, be referred to
them.

Mr. BAINES complained that the objection taken was
most informal and out of place, and would, he feared, put the
promoters of the measure to great inconvenience and expense.
The SPEAKER observed that whenever a petition was
presented complaining that the Standing Orders had not been
complied with, the proper course was to refer the discussion
of that question •to the tribunal which the House had ap-
pointed—namely, the Standing Orders Committee.—( Hear.)
Mr. MILES presented a petition from the proprietors of
the Bridgewater and Taunton Canal, Somerset, praying that
there might be referred• back to the Committee, petitions that
had been presented upon a Bill relative to the Westport Canal.
On the motion of Mr. Alderman THOMSON, the IN ear-
mouth Docks Bill was read a second time.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The Exile, a melodramatic travestie of Madame Cottin's
interesting story, was last night revived, with just as much
success as a vapid piece, some good acting, respectable
scenery, and a precession, terminated by a triumphal car,
drawn by three milk-white steeds, deserved. Mr. Van-
denhoff, as Da-,:an, on the whole, played this extravagant
character we'd. It affords many temptations for ranting,
and we are not surprised that Mr. Vandenhoff occasionally
fell into 4:he snare. Count Ulric was represented by Mr.
G. Bennett with cold propriety, as became the climate in
whi4, the scene is laid. The Governor, by far the best
ac'i:ed part in the piece, was rendered exceedingly amusing
Mr. Farren. He was a Siberian crab of no ordinary
'tartness. Miss Vincent, if we leave out of the account
some small degree of affectation, deserves some praise for
the manner in which she played the character of the lae-
roine, Alexina, before us. Her principal scenes were by
no means deficient in sense or feeling. The other enarac-
ters were respectably supported. The procession preced-
ing the coronation, and the coronation itself, which have
been gut up with a consicttrable degree of splendour, gave
much satisfaction.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A young lady, whose name, we are informed. (for it was
not announced in the bills), is Harrison, made her first
appearance last night in the character of Juliet, and met
with a favourable reception. On her first entrance, she
seemed almost to sink under her apprehensions ; but the
kindness with which she was welcomed soon reassured her,
and restored her self-possession. Her aspect and deport-
ment were calculated to make a very advantageous impres-
sion. Her figure is rather slight, but well proportioned ;
her features are small, and their power is diminished by
the lightness of her eyes and hair ; but they are handsome,
animated, and capable of considerable variety of expres-
sion. Her action is not 'drily easy and unconstrained, but
its gracefulness was sor.tetimes so remarkable as to produce
loud applause. She had an excellent conception of the
part, and played it with mach feeling. In the balcony
scene she expressed very beautifully the glowing enthusiasm.
and entire devotedness of Juliet's love ; and the scer,e
where her eagerness to learn the result of the Nun se's
errand to her lover is. thwarted by the old woman's, folly
and petulance, was also admirable. In the tragical scenes
she was less happy. They contained many traits energy,
and some fine bursts of passion ; but their effe ct was in-
jured, by an over-declamatory elocution and r.n incorrect
pronunciation—a defect which is less perceritible in her
level dialogue than when she recites poetier:t and impas-
sioned language. Her voice, which in its r,raMary tones is
sweet and melodious, was sometimes rend
be-
ing overstrained, and sometimes so .ered harsh by
,uch subdued as to
make her words indistinguishable. rhese, however, and
the other faults of her performar,ce, may reasonably be
ascribed to inexperience ; and o Li the whole she may be
considered an actress of great r.romise. At the fall of the
curtain she was called forth .41.-al warmly cheered, and the
more warmly as she seemed, almost exhausted by her emo-
tions. The tragedy was -succeeded by La Bayadcre, in
which Mademoiselle D uvernay appeared for the first time
this season. This very charming artiste preserves all the
grace, elegance, and, agreeable manner, which rendered her
so great a favour7:r e on her former engagement at this thea-
tre. The with its sparkling spirited music, was got
up much as efor e. and was received with much applause.
The lion was well attended from the beginning of the
night, and. became particularly s,o after the second pricO. '

The defendant was fined 51.
The defendant having paid the penalty, asked if be might

STONE V. LORD GEORGE LENNOX.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this
case, which was an appeal from the decision of the present
Master of the Rolls, declaring that the plaintiffs were en-
titled to a discovery and inspection of certain letters and
documents in possession of the defendant, Lord George
Lennox. The hill was filed against the Noble Lord by
the persons who were the insurers of the life of Colonel
Groswold, who died at Boulogne after the policy had been
effected for the ntirposP of obtaining an injunction to pre-
vent defendant from proceeding in an action at law to re-
cover the amount of the policy, and also for a discovery of
certain letters and documents in the possession of the de-
fendant, which it was asserted by the plaintiff would show
that there were circumstances connected with the state of
health of the person whose life was ensured, that would
invalidate the policy. The defendant by his answer admitted
Matt documents.. nbieetod to pro=
duce thorn on the ground. that they w 0414 414e1.05e the names of
witnesses whom he meant to bring forward on the trial,
and also circumstances which would tend materially to the
success of the action. On the case coming before the
Master of the Rolls, his Lordship thought that the answer
of the defendant contained a Stiftleletit admission that the
documents in the possession of the defendant related to the
matter in issue, and did not contain any statements suffi-
cient to entitle the defendant to object to produce them.
His Lordship, therefore, ordered the discovery as prayed.
The Lord Chancellor concurred with the opinion of. the
Master of the Rolls, and affirmed his judgment, with costs.
The COURT then proceeded with the appeal of Watson
v. Murray.
London, England, 1836-11-04

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday a young man, named Edward Charcher, was
brought up on a warrant, charging him with violently as-
saulting Catherine Boyd.
The complainant, a young-looking female, with a wi-
dow's cap on and an infant in her arms, had lived for sonic
time with the father of the defendant, and had had three
children by him. The banns of marriage had been pub-
lished, but on the very day they were to have been united
he became ill, had since died, and was buried on the day
before. After the funeral the defendant, who was the son
of the deceased by a former wife, with several of his rela-
tions, came to the house, and not only violently ill-used
her, but turned her and her infant into the street.
The defendant, in reply to the accusation, entered into a
lengthened statement, from which it appeared that his fa-
ttier, who was the Neapolitan Vice-Consul, had taken the
defendant into his house when ragged and barefooted, and
as soon as he was dead she commenced to strip the house
of the property. On his return from his father's funeral,
on Wednesday, he found that during his absence several
articles of property had been removed from the house and
pledged, and on looking into a cupboard he discovered a
quantity of gin and rum and beef-steaks, which had been
provided by the orders of the complainant to regale her
friends on that night, though they previous to the funeral
drank to considerable excess ; and, under all the circum-
stances, he thought he was perfectly justified in turning the
complainant out of the house.

After much squabbling between the parties, the warrant
was discharged, on the defendant promising to give up to
the complainant her wearing apparel, a bed, and some arti-
cles of furniture, and also paying the expenses of the
warrant.

THE SUTIV, LANLiON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1536.

the Marriage Bill,
which havc, in fact, severed the main
link which united the ,Church to the State ; but a
chance like this is not to be looked to or depended
upon. Such a chance is lit,w more unlikely to occur
than ever, because the Lords will be more upon their
guard—more cautious in scrutinising And sifting the
measures brought before them, just as rats and other
vermin that have once been caught in a trap, if they
escape with their lives, are seldom or never caught a
second time. The Dissenters and the Liberal Church-
men must therefore agitate against Church-rates if
they really wish to be relieved from that obnoxious
and wicked impost. The splendid meting which
was lately held in the metropolis, had for its ob-
ject to stir up a general agitation on ths sub-
ject. It was exceedingly well adapted to. produce
this effect, and has, we have reason to believe,
done so, to a very great extent. Such proceedings as
those now in preparation by the bigots of Bungay will
come
i;pwerfully in aid of so just and good a cause.
They ought no: to be deprecated, but, oil the contrary,
prayed for, as the proper and natural means, when
turned to account, of obtaining the redress of a gri-
vance which presses so gfwerely upon a largp ina;Ps of
the people. Individuals, like Mr. CHILDS, may no
doubt suffer in their persons and in their property ; but
they suffer with joy when they reflect that they are
the instruments under Providence of advancing the
cause of truth and virtue.

CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

THOMPSON V. MAISTRE.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morn-
ing, gave judgment in this case, the question in which wag,
whether certain legacies given by the will of Col. Maistre
and which, in the event of a deficienay of the personal
estate, were charged upon the real estate, were or were
not revoked by the third codicil to the Colonel's will. It
appeared that Colonel Maistre, by his will, gave his personal
acid real estates to his brothers and other parties in trust to
pay certain sums to his wife, and different legacies to his
children, excepting certain lands from the charge of those
legacies. By a codicil, however, to his will, he included the
lands excepted, changed the trustees, and appointed his son
as his sole executor upon his attaining twenty-one. It was
contended that the codicil had so materially altered the
whole disposition of the will, that it must be considered that
the legacy had been revoked by it. His Lordship's opinion
was, that the codicil had not operated as a revocation, and
decreed that the legacies were chargeable upon the real
estate.

FINE ARTS.

FISHER'S PICTURESQUE ILLUSTRATIONS
OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
PARTS 30, 31, 32. Fisher, London, 1836.
Each of these Parts, which are of full quarto size,
consist of not less than eight embellishments, illustra-
tive of some of the most picturesque landscapes,
baronial castles, and monastic views in the kingdom.
The views of Chatsworth, and of Dovedale, the most
romantic spots in Derbyshire, perhaps in all England,
and celebrated as the place where Cotton, the son-in-
" of old Isaac Walton, wrote his Treatise on Fly-
fishins(7,, are executed with much talent, and show a
thorough acquaintance with the laws of perspective.
Considering the general merit of the engravings, which
are all from original drawings made for the purpose by
Allom, this work is a remarkably cheap one, each Part
being only two shillings in price.
