THEATRES.

iTE/Y r- OAPDF,N.
Mr. Macready having tr:..ntrr .e. Lie gervices from the rival
theatre, appeared last night upon these boards in Ins favourite
character of Macbeth. Long before the rising of the curtain
the dress and first circles, pit, and galleries, svcre well filled,
and on his entree he was greeted from all parts of the house
with the most deafening cheers, waving of hats and handker-
chiefs, and every other mode which could demonstrate a kindly
feeling towards him. At the commencement Mr. Macready,
whn acknowledged these testimonies of approbation by many
profound obeisances, appeared to labour under considerable
nervous excitation, as well he might ; but as the play pro-
ceeded and he warmed into the part, he never before, perhaps,
gave so correct or animated a representation of it. At the
conclusion of the tragedy, Mr. Macready was again most
heartily cheered, and being vociferously called for, came for-
ward and made the following address, which was greatly
cheered during its delivery and at its close :—" Ladies and
Gentlemen—Under ordinary circumstances I should receive
this manifestation of your kindness with silent acknowledge-
ments; but I cannot disguise from myself the fact, that the
circumstances which have led to my engagement at this Thea-
tre, after an absence of many years, arc uppermost in your
minds. Into those circumstances I will not enter further than
two general observations. First, I was subjected, in cold
blood, from motives which I will not characterise, to a series
of studied, and annoying, and mortifying provocations, per-
sonal and professional. The second, that, suffering under
those accumulated provocations, I was betrayed, in a moment,
of unguarded passion, into an intemperate and imprudent act,
for which I feel, and shall never cease to feel, the deepest and
most poignant self-reproach and regret. I wish it to be dis-
tinctly understood, Ladies and Gentlemen, that it is to you
and to myself I owe this declaration, and I make it with unaf-
fected sincerity. To liberal and generous minds, I think, I
need say no more. I cannot, however, at such a moment, re-
sist thanking you, and I do so most sincerely, most respectfully,
and indeed most gratefully, for these kind expressions of your
sympathy and favour."

FORBES V. CRONE.

•
This was an action of trover for the conversion and de-
tention by defendant of a doeble-barrelled gun, with per-
cursion lock, the property of plaintiff.
The defendant pleaded first, not guilty ; secondly, leave
and license ; and, thirdly, that the gun was not the pro-
perty of the plaintiff; upon all which issue was taken.
Mr. Humraliv and Mr. BUTT conducted the plaintiff's
case ; and Mr. PLATT the defendant's.

, In January last, the plaintiff, who is the master of a brig
trading to Dundee, brought the gun in question to the shop
of the defendant, an ironmonger, in Ramsgate, for the pur-
pose of being repaired. On the day following he came for
the gun, accompanied by a Captain Pattinger, and paid for
the repairs ; but a dog which followed him from on board
the vessel having jumped through and broke a large pane
of plate glass in the shop, the defendant kept the gun
.for
the damage. kcarver and gilder was seat for by desire of
the plaintiff, who, having measured the window, estimated
the damage at 2/. ss. The plaintiff, not having so much
money about him, allowed the gun, as it appeared, to re-
main as a security for the money. He afterwards directed
his attorney to make a demand of the gun, and tender ten
shillings, which was refused, when a summons was taken
out against him before the Magistrate, at the Townhall,
who dismissed the complaint as not being competent to
entertain it. The present action was then brought. The
Jury fOund for the defendant on the first and second issue,
and for the plaintiff on the third.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

Mr. L. P. Goldsmid, the comedian, lately residing in
Park-Place, Regent's Park, applied on his petition to be
discharged from the Fleet Prison. An opposition had been
entered against him, but the creditor did not apoear.
The schedule tiled by Mr. Goldsmid for public inspec-
tion exhibited debts amounting to 8461., and no credits. He
had received no consideration for 566/., having renewed va-
rious debts incurred before his last bankruptcy. He bad
been. twice declared a bankrapt, in 1831, and in May last,
and had obtained his certificates on both occasions. He had
been discharged as an insolvent debtor in 1827. The pre-
sent insolvency was ascribed to having given Bills of Ex-
change to renew debts contracted previous to his bank-
ruptcy in May, 1835, on. which bills be had been arrested
times, and had paid heavy expenses for officers' fees

SCVC

and costs.

In answer to the interrogatories of the Learted Chief
Commissioner, Mr. Goldsmid had been foolish enough to
renew debts. He hoped, at the time, to have received a
large sum of money, and to have commenced his business
as a bill broker ; but having been disappointed, he took to
the stage.

He was declared entitled to the benefit of the Act, and
ordered to be discharged forthwith.
lie was discharged accordingly.

ST. JAMES'S.

There was a good attendance last night at this Theatre, to
witness the appearance of M. L'Herie, in two laughable vau-
devilles, entitled, Lcs Sept INches Capitattx, and La Son-
nette de Nuit, both of which are written by himself. This
actor will prove a great acquisition to the already powerful
company of Madame Carmouche. He plays with much viva-
city, and in the last of the two pieces we have named, his hu-
mour and versatility were so highly appreciated, as to draw
down the repeated and hearty applause of the audience. We
ought to have said at the commencement, rather than at the
end of this notice, that Moliere's comedy of Tartidre was
very well played; the principal characters by Messrs. Cossard
and Ray, and by Mesdames Thierry, Corroge, St. Amand,
and Cossard.

PATENTS.

Colonel THOMPSON presented a petition from John
Henry Marsh, stating, that from a period so long back as
1793, he had made great improvements in the construction
of ships and vessels ; but that he bad been prevented from
promulgating them to the extent he was inclined to do,
through poverty, and the want of ability to meet the ex-
penses of a patent. He prayed that the patent rate might
be so reduced, so as to put it in the power of any inventor
to obtain a patent at a small expense.

CHURCH RATES.
Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition from Coventry,
praying for the abolition of church rates and vicar's rates.
The petition was signed by some of the most respectable
and influential persons in the city of Coventry. As a mem-
ber of the Church of England, he concurred in the prayer
of the petition ; and expressed a hope that Government
wouldintroduce some measure to remedy this grievance.

STANNERIES COURT BILL.
Mr. FRESHFIELD presented a petition from Penryn
against the Stanneries Coult.Bill.
LAW OF LIBEL.
Major BEAUCLERK presented a petition from an in-
dividual named John Milligan, of Richmond, stat-
ing that the petitioner had been found guilty of
libel at the Kingston assizes, and a penalty of 501. in-
flicted upon him which would incarcerate him for
life, and praying for an alteration _in the law of libel.

6k; SOFT FELL THE DEW."
A PARODY.
Soft fell the dew, and mild was the morn,
That lovelily opened. that wakened the dawn ;
Soft fell the dew in its exquisite sheen,
Real love might be pictur'd, true bliss might be seen.

I have seen that dew fall, I have seen that morn break,
And the sun all resplendent in glory awake;
That sun cast a shadow, but the shade when I met
I found was enrivalled by Warren's Black Jet.

That Blacking has beauty I thought not to view,
Till in my bright boots I my face could review :
A splendour unrivalled my boots now assume,
Since polished by 'Warren's,—by Warren's Jet Bloom.

Kingdom.

MUNICH, JULY 6.—Young Count Montelas, son
of the former Prime Minister, who lately married an English
lady, attempted a few days ago to commit suicide by inflicting,
a deep wound with a dagger in his forehead. The act took
place in the Max-street : he fell to the ground. Several
persons hastened to the spot, and conveyed him to his own re-
s;.dence—the wound is said to be very dangerous.
STAMP DUTIES.—The Stamp Duties Bill was re
ported last night in the House of Commons, and ordered for
the third reading to-morrow.

which it has improved to 39 ; at present 38_1 39. This re-
action is owing to letters being received this morning from St.
Sebastian, stating that the account in the French Papers, of
the defeat of General Evans, is greatly exaggerated; that
General Evans made a reconnoisance with about 1,500 to 2,000
men; and returned again to his old position with a trifling
loss. For the correctness of the above statement, we must
wait the arrival of the Glasgow steamer, which is hourly ex-

Liberals of Newcastle should bestir themselves, and not lose a

ALES OF THE WOODS AND FIELDS
A Second Series of " The Old Men's Tales."

Those who remember the sensation produced by " The Oh:
Men's Tales, will know what to expect from the appearance o;
this new series. Speaking of that extraordinary work the Quar-
terly Review observed, " Upon us the impression of these tales wa-
such as we recollect to have received from the novels which we
stole and secretly read in the days of our boyhood ; we found then.
interesting and affecting to a degree which made us begin again tc
think the serious occupations of life, weary, stale, flat, and unpro-
fitable."

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1836.

An animated debate took place last night in the
House of Commons on the subject of the Established
Church Bill. We have already expressed our opinion
of this measure—that it is a mere begging of the
question of Reform ; and the more we consider its
provisions, the more we are confirmed in our opinion
of its utter inefficiency. It is in fact a thorough Tory
Bill, emanating from a Tory Commission, grounded
on Tory principles, influenced by a Tory bias, and
supported by a Tory party. Thus circumstanced,
how can it possibly give satisfaction, except to those
interested in perpetuating the abuses of the Church ?
We intreat Ministers to pause, and weigh well their
position, ere they resolve on hurrying it through Par-
liament. It is a hazardous measure to adopt, and
will do them far more injury than they are aware of.
" Was it for this," people will everywhere exclaim,
" that we struggled so desperately to procure a Reform
of Parliament ? Did we turn out Sir ROBERT
PEEL, and fix Lord MELBOURNE firmly in power,
merely in order that we might obtain a Church
Bill, which in some degree legalizes pluralities and
translations, and leaves an Archbishop in the uncon-
trolled possession of fifteen thousand per annum ?
Why, the Tories themselves would have volunteered
a measure as good as this, without our putting our-
selves to the trouble of wresting it from them ; and
have we deserved no greater boon at the hands of a
Whig Government—of a Government called to the
helm by us, kept in office by us, confided in by us,
and having no other influence than what it derives
from us ? Either Reform is a mere non-entity, or
Ministers have not yet come to a right understanding
of its spirit. Either we have been too sanguine in our
expectations, or they are not yet what they should be."
Such, we can assure Lord JOHN RUSSELL, will
shortly be, if it is not so already, the language of the
country, as respects this phantom—this shadow—this
grinning mockery—of a Church Reform Bill. The
very support it receives from the Tories will sink it
lower in public estimation. " Can any good come
out of Nazareth ?" Can any measure supported by
the Conservative party, and issuing from a Commis..

VAUXHALL.

Yesterday the Mesars. Green were to have ascended in
their balloons, accompanied by their wives, and great expecta-
tions were formed of the race that would have ensued. This
expectation was, however, not realised, as, from the unfavour-
able state of the weather, it was thought advisable to postpone
the exhibition. The proprietors did all their power to amuse
the great assemblage of persons that had congregated by giving
them the concert, rope-dancing, the comic ballet by the Ra-
vels, &c. These, added to the military band and Collinet's
quadrilles, seemed to gratify the visitors. At the conclusion,
it was announced that the proprietors, in order to atone for the
disappointment, would present every lady and gentleman with
a free ticket to witness the ascent on a future day (Saturday
next, we understand), which was received with universal ap-
probation.

Accounts have to-day reached us from Scotland of
the death of Sir R. Liston, G. C. 8., at a very advanced age.
The present Bi3hop of l3ri3tol (Dr. Allan) will be

THE DUKE OF ROXBURGII.—On Tuesday
last, the birth-day of the Duke of Roxburgh, who has now en-
t(s.red his 21st year, was celebrated at Kelso, in the usual fes-
tive manner. The Union flag was displayed from the Abbey ;
a band of music played through the town early in the morning,
and again in the evening; and the tenants and labourers at
Flcurs were plentifully regaled in the course of the day.
MAILS.—III England there are 55 four-horse and
49 two-horse mails. In the four-horse mails the rate of tra-
ye:ling varies from eight miles to ten miles five furlongs per
lour. There is one exception, the Devonport and Falmouth
mail, which goes only seven miles two furlongs per hour. The
average is probably about nine miles two furlongs. They all
carry four inside passengers, and either three or four outside,
sexcept one which cartfes six outside, and two which carry
eight. In the two-horse mails,.the rate varies from six miles
'to nine miles two furlongs, and will probably average about
seven miles six furlongs. The passengers arc almost invari-
ably four inside and four outside. The average speed travelled
by both classes eight miles seven furlongs. The average mile-
age for four-horse mails is lid. per mile, for two-horse do

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

•
CORN EXCHANGE:
There are very small arrivals both of Grain and Flour re-
ported to-day. The Wheat trade is firm, at Monday prices
for most descriptions, but fine parcels would obtain rather
more. Barley, Beaus, and Pease are unaltered. Oats meet
a slow demand at last quotations. The Flour trade remains
unimpaired. The rain is falling admirably to increase the
produce just before harvest.
ARRIVALS.

SALE OF BEER.

Mr. POULTER presented a petition from the retailers
of beer at Reading, praying for an alteration of the present
law affecting the sale of beer.
AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE.

Mr. ROBINSON said, that having been induced to
postpone a motion relating to foreign corn, from being in-
formed that the Agricultural Committee had the subject
under their consideration, he now wished to know whether
that Committee, after their protracted sitting, were about
to make any report ?
No answer having been returned,
The HON. MEMBER said, that if it was not convenient
for Hon. Gentlemen to answer the question, he would give
notice that he would put the question to-morrow.
Mr. SANFORD, as one of the Agricultural Committee,
was sorry to inform the Hon. Member for Worcester that
it was not the intention of that Committee to make any
"other Report than to lay the evidence before the House.

The Government had most certainly nothing to do with
the Report. An independent Member had been put in
the chair, and he had on proposing the report stated most
distinctly that the report had been drawn up by himself,
and that it was entirely his own.
-74:-.474 NOTARIES' PUBLIC BILL.

Dr. NICHOLL begged to,inquire whether the lion.
Member opposite intended to proceed with the Notaries'
Public Bill at this late period of the Session ?

Mr. C. BULLER said he was afraid the Bill was not
so perfect as it might be made. He was afraid there would
not, now be time to perfect it properly, and he was therefore
reluctantly obliged to postpone it till next Session. On the
motion of the Hon. Member, the Bill was ordered to be
committed that day three months,
London, England, 1836-07-20

POOR LAW BILL.

Mr. WALTER was anxious to know whether the Go-
vernment intended to go on with the Poor Law Amend-
ment Bill this session. He had been entrusted with a very
important petition on the subject, and he hoped to be
afforded an opportunity of presenting it before the second
reading of the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said an
opportunity would most certainly be afforded the Hon.
Member of presenting his petition before the second read-
ing of the Bill, which the Government intended to go on
with.

Mr. WARBURTON said he was anxious to have a
time fixed for resuming the adjourned debate on the impor-
tant petition he had presented, relative to the Troutbeck
case. He would be contented with any evening or morning
which would meet with the convenience of the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did
not wish to put anything in the way of the Hon. Member,
but the public business must be proceeded with.
Mr. WAKLEY hoped, with reference to the ques-
tion of the Honourable Member for Berkshire, that some
early day would be appointed for the 2nd reading of the
Bill, as it was an exceedingiy important measure ; one
almost as important as the Bill of 1833. He trusted how-
ever, that the Bill would not be read a second time
that day, as it was so short a period since it had been in-
troduced. He had intended to put a question to the Secretary
at War with reference to allowing soldiers to wear side
arms. In doing so, he should have stated a circumstances
which he had witnessed between two soldiers on his return
from the House last night ; but as the Right Hon. Gentle-
man was not in his place; he should postpone his question.

and of the first order, the Pinery is adjacent, and a very good Ice-
house ; indeed it should seem every thing is combined to satisfy
the most fastidious : the next point intended is to give a faithful
portraiture of the situation; the task-is almost Herculean, and the
writer's great reliance will be found in the renown, which history
has long vouchsafed to Hitch Court, to guard bin; against the false
notion of colouring his Landscape too highly.

approach the entree to the Park (Miss Mitford certainly must have
had this delectable spot in her mind's eye, when she indulged the
literary world with " Our Village"). The luxuriant plantations,
and shady groves, alone exclude it from the turnpike road; the.
ascent is through a finely woodd Park. On reaching the fearful
Knoll, the scene is splendid ; it beggars all description. A cone-
like hill, feathered even to its summit with stately trees, clumps of
ash and elm, majestic oaks stretching their wide and shadowy arms far
across, amid groups of the weeping birch, waving their fragile
boughs ; while on either side a stately Park sweeps far into the dis-
tance, its soft undulations of surface relieving and deluding the
eye' into a belief that it is of almost boundless extent. The rides
and walks Within this tranquil scene exceed one mile, wherein
" peeps" have been judiciously selected, from which the
FAR-FAMED TAUNTON VALE
is brought immediately in contact, its beauteous scenery, exteveling
to the, h istol Channel, and the Mendip Hills, are among the num-
ber of its varied attributes. Within this little paradise the contem-
plative mind ;will find abundant food, sometimes varied by the htr-
monioiis sound of the nightingale's warble, and the concord of sweet
sounds that seem ',-o favour most especially this retired spot.
THE ,DOI,IAIN MAY BE EXTENDED TO

SIX•HUI::DRED•AND SIXTY ACRES,
of which 309 (and inch:i-ling the park) will form the First Lot,,
together with an excellent farm adjacent.
THE LAND IS IN THE .HIGHEST POSSIBLE STATE
OF CULTIVATION,
maintaining most fully the character conceded to Somerset ; it is
situate in the interesting district that connects Taunton and Ilmin-
ster, and the neighbourhood is devoted to sociality and good fellow-
ship ; and to a sportman it is a most desirable situation.
To conclude, it may with great truth be affirmed that this pro-
perty (for its size) has no dread of rigid comparison with the most
enjoyable ;dace in England.
Particulars, with a Plan and Drawing to each, will be ready
28 days antecedent to the sale, at the Castle, Taunton; Clarence

CHANCERY COURT.-SATITRDAY.

IN THE MATTER OF HENDRY.
Mr. ROGERS applied, under the statute 6th Anne, for an
order in this matter, to compel the mother of z,n infant to
produce him to the heir-at-law of the estate to which that
infant was entitled. The mother of the infant had been for
some time resident in a village between Watford and
Hemel Hempstead, in the county of Herts, hut she had
removed to a place of which the applicmt w;t3 ignorant ;
and it was sworn he had good reason to believe that the
infant was dead, and that the death was concealed by the
mother.
The LORD CHANCELLOR granted the order.
IN RE ANGLE, A BANKRUPT.
Mr. GIRDLESTONE moved the discharge of a servant of
the bankrupt, who had been committed' to the Fleet for
unsatisfactory answers in his examination before the Com-
missioners. The prisoner had been committed in November
last, and in June he was again examined, and gave a distinct
and positive answer to all the questions proposed to him.
Mr. BETHEL opposed the application. The prisoner, a
ervant of the bankrupt, was asked what he had done with
001. which was traced to his possession, and which the
editors believed to be the property of the bankrupt.
s answers, when given, were to the effect that the
. ley was his own, and that he lent it to a Mrs. Stephen-
- and taken an I 0 U for it ; that he had lost the

The House then went into Committee on the Bill, Dr.

On the 6th clause,
Sir A. AGNEW moved, that after the word " situate"
at page 4, the following words be struck out of the clause,
" after which last-mentioned hour every person so licensed,
as aforesaid, shall be at liberty to keep open his house for
the remainder of the day, any law to the contrary thereof
no t withstanding."
Mr. EWART requested the Hon. Gentleman to give
him precedence, and allow him to move an amendment on
a part of this clause antecedent to the word " situate."
Sir A. AGNEW acquiesced in the suggestion.
Mr. EWART then made his amendment, the express
terms of which we were unable to collect ; but we under-
stood it to be that such houses should be opened to the
public after divine service on Sunday.

Mr. WARBURTON proposed a new clause, for the
purpose of subjecting beer-houses, in towns containing 5,000
inhabitants, to the same regulations, in respect to the hours
of opening and closing, as those held by the licensed vic-
tuallers ; but at the suggestion of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer the Hon. Member consented to withdraw the
clause for the present with the intention of bringing it up
on the Report.
A new clause was, on the motion of Mr. WARBUR-
TON, added to the Bill, giving magistrates power to mi-
tigate penalties.
The remaining clauses of the Bill were then agreed to,
and the House resumed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
tained leave to bring in a Bill for suspending appointments
to certain dignities and offices in cathedral and collegiate
churches, and to sinecure rectories.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at a quarter-past Two.
